- Add OPENROUTER_API_KEY as first item in script failure error (most common cause)
- Replace external GitHub README link with actionable `spawn <cloud>` command in error output
- Fix help text: auth section now correctly says `spawn <cloud>` instead of `spawn <agent> <cloud>`
- Add inline URL hint next to OPENROUTER_API_KEY in quick-start sections
- Add cloud name label next to cloud auth vars in agent info quick-start

- Detect when user passes two clouds (e.g. "spawn hetzner sprite") and

Fuzzy matching now checks both keys (e.g. "claude") and display names
(e.g. "Claude Code") when suggesting corrections for typos. Previously,
typing "spawn claud" or "spawn Hetzne" would only fuzzy-match against
keys, missing close display name matches. The new findClosestKeyByNameOrKey
function picks the best match across both, and suggestions now always
show the display name for clarity (e.g. "Did you mean claude (Claude Code)?").

- Fix auto-update unicode symbols (checkmark/cross) that bypassed unicode
detection, causing garbled output in SSH sessions and dumb terminals
- Use log_info (green) instead of log_warn (yellow) for OAuth progress
messages, so normal authentication flow doesn't look like a warning
- Add install path to `spawn version` output for easier debugging when
multiple versions are installed
- Improve --prompt-file errors to distinguish file-not-found, permission
denied, and is-a-directory cases with actionable guidance

Show actionable auth setup commands in `spawn <cloud>` and `spawn <agent>`
output so users can get started immediately without reading README docs.
For clouds with env var auth (e.g. Hetzner), shows exact export commands:
Quick start:
export HCLOUD_TOKEN=your-hcloud-token-here
spawn claude hetzner
For agents, shows OpenRouter API key and example launch command:
Quick start:
export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-v1-...
spawn claude sprite
Also adds parseAuthEnvVars() utility with 6 tests and 8 quick-start
integration tests.

- Fuzzy matching for unknown agents/clouds now also searches display names,

The `spawn list` grid was 888 characters wide with 30 clouds, making it
completely unreadable in standard terminals (80-120 columns). Now detects
terminal width and automatically switches to a compact view showing each
agent with its cloud count and any missing clouds.

Previously, unknown flags like --json or --verbose were silently ignored
or misinterpreted as positional arguments (agent/cloud names), leading to
confusing error messages. Now the CLI detects unrecognized flags and shows
a clear error listing the supported flags.

Previously, `spawn hetzne` (typo of cloud name "hetzner") would show
"Unknown agent: hetzne" with no useful suggestion, because it only
searched agent names for typo matches. Now when a single argument
matches neither an agent nor a cloud, the error searches both pools
and shows "Did you mean hetzner (cloud)?" — guiding the user to the
right command.

Users who know their preferred cloud but not which agents are available
had no way to find out. Now `spawn hetzner` shows all agents available
on Hetzner, mirroring how `spawn claude` shows all clouds for Claude.

The spawn scripts themselves use curl|bash to install agents (e.g.
Claude Code). The validateScriptContent check was blocking our own
legitimate scripts. Removed curl|bash and wget|bash from the
dangerous patterns list since the scripts are already fetched from
our trusted GitHub repo.

Root cause: Bun has a known bug (oven-sh/bun#25767) where --target=node
causes UTF-8 string literals to be double-encoded as Latin-1, producing
mojibake (â instead of ◆/│/✔). Switching to --target=bun avoids this
encoding path entirely.
Also removes the ineffective stdout.write monkey-patch that was
attempting to work around this issue.

Explicitly convert string chunks to Buffer.from(chunk, 'utf8') before
writing to process.stdout. This fixes UTF-8 mojibake (â instead of ◆/│)
seen in some Bun + terminal combinations (e.g. Ghostty on macOS) where
process.stdout.write(string) doesn't encode as UTF-8 by default.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Added explicit LANG=en_US.UTF-8 and stdout.setEncoding('utf8')
when Unicode mode is enabled. This should prevent UTF-8 mojibake
(â appearing instead of ◆) in terminals like Ghostty.

Adds debug logging to unicode-detect.ts to help troubleshoot why
Unicode rendering isn't working in Ghostty terminal. When SPAWN_DEBUG=1
is set, the CLI will show:
- Current TERM value (e.g., xterm-ghostty)
- SSH environment variables (SSH_CONNECTION, SSH_CLIENT, SSH_TTY)
- Whether ASCII mode is being forced
This will help identify if SSH detection is incorrectly triggering
ASCII fallback for local Ghostty sessions.
Usage: SPAWN_DEBUG=1 spawn list
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Reverses the overly conservative ASCII-only approach. Now defaults to
Unicode (beautiful spinners, checkmarks, symbols) on local macOS
Terminal, iTerm2, and modern Linux terminals, while still forcing
ASCII fallback for problematic environments:
- SSH sessions (encoding mismatches)
- Dumb terminals (TERM=dumb)
- Users can override with SPAWN_UNICODE=1 or SPAWN_NO_UNICODE=1
This fixes rendering issues while maintaining compatibility across
all environments.

- Set both TERM=linux and CI=true in unicode-detect.ts

- Bumped CLI version from 0.2.4 to 0.2.5
- Added rule to CLAUDE.md: ANY change to cli/ requires a version bump

Changes:
- Bumped version from 0.1.0 to 0.2.0
- Changed update-check mechanism to auto-install updates instead of just notifying
- checkForUpdates() now blocks and runs install.sh automatically when update is available
- Added executor wrapper for testability of execSync calls
- Updated all tests to mock executor.execSync instead of child_process.execSync
- Auto-update runs on every spawn invocation (24-hour cache prevents excessive checks)
- On update failure, shows error message but continues with original command

- Remove vitest and @vitest/ui from devDependencies
- Update test scripts to use 'bun test'
- Delete vitest.config.ts (no longer needed)

Added comprehensive test suite for cli/ TypeScript code:
- 37 tests covering manifest.ts, commands.ts, and integration scenarios
- Tests for manifest loading, caching, network fallback, and validation
- Tests for all CLI commands (list, agents, clouds, run, help, etc.)
- Integration tests for end-to-end workflows
- ~900 lines of test code covering ~635 lines of source
Test infrastructure:
- Added vitest as test runner for fast execution
- Created isolated test environment with mocked cache directories
- Mocked network calls to avoid external dependencies
- Test coverage for critical paths: caching, offline mode, error handling
All tests passing with proper isolation and cleanup.

The autonomous refactoring added `set -euo pipefail` but the scripts
check optional env vars with `[[ -n "$VAR" ]]` which is a fatal error
under nounset when the var isn't set (e.g. SPRITE_NAME, OPENROUTER_API_KEY).
Fix: downgrade to `set -eo pipefail` across all 42 affected files.
