Package catalog from server — CLI now fetches the full package list from openboot.dev at startup and caches it for 24 hours. Falls back to the embedded catalog when offline (~/.openboot/packages-cache.json)
Upgrade hint — CLI warns when the server requires a newer version, with a direct upgrade command
Improvements
Faster startup — openboot version and openboot help no longer make network requests
Remote config install — shell configuration, dotfiles, and macOS preferences now apply correctly when installing via openboot -u <user>
Auto-detect project dependencies — openboot init now scans project files (package.json, go.mod, Cargo.toml, docker-compose.yml, and 15+ others) to detect missing dependencies and install them via Homebrew. Works without any config file (openboot init --auto)
AI agent integration — openboot setup-agent writes global rules to Claude Code and OpenAI Codex so your AI agent automatically uses openboot when it encounters missing dependencies. One-time setup, applies to all projects (openboot setup-agent)
New Commands
openboot init --check --json # Report missing deps as JSON (exit 1 if missing)
openboot init --auto # Auto-install all missing deps without prompts
openboot init # Interactive TUI for humans
openboot setup-agent # Enable AI agent integration
Improvements
Pre-fill config name — Config name is pre-filled when updating an existing config via snapshot upload
Install state recovery — Manually uninstalled packages are now detected and reinstalled on next run (openboot --preset minimal)
Dotfiles default fallback — Silent mode with --dotfiles clone falls back to default dotfiles repo instead of erroring
Clean consistency — Clean command now counts the same packages as diff (top-level only, not dependencies)
Improvements
VM-based E2E testing — 48 end-to-end tests running in disposable Tart macOS VMs, covering full user journeys from bare macOS to configured dev environment
Package descriptions preserved — Descriptions from imported JSON configs now survive through import, TUI display, and export/push. Previously all desc fields were silently dropped (#14)
