 Pilot · not yet recorded. The bridge between coding agents and Hypher project memory.
 
 - `hypher init` connects this computer (one browser approval), installs a pinned copy under `~/.hypher/`, and adds Claude Code hooks and Codex hooks (Codex asks once to trust them: `/hooks`). It keeps M0a's `hypher` sign-in entry wherever it finds one.
-- `hypher doctor` checks each piece and prints the fix for anything red.
-- `hypher resume` prints the note for this repository; `hypher seal` saves a handoff.
+- `hypher doctor` checks each piece and prints the fix for anything red. When Hypher is unreachable, or something between this computer and it answers instead (a proxy's `403 Host not in allowlist`, an HTML page, an empty body), it names the host it tried and the status and content type that came back, never the body.
+- An answer that is not Hypher's own JSON counts as Hypher being unavailable, not as Hypher saying no: a queued checkpoint stays in the outbox until it uploads, and the session starts with "Hypher unavailable" (built, released with 0.2.1; not recorded). When Hypher is unavailable, not connected, or the repository is not linked, the `SessionStart` hook also puts that one line in front of you (`systemMessage`), not only in front of the model.
+- **When checkpoints are written (0.2.1; built and rehearsed, not recorded).** In Claude Code a checkpoint (identity, tree hash, file names, never contents) is queued when a session starts, after the note is read; after a file edit (`Edit`, `Write`, `MultiEdit`, `NotebookEdit`), at most every 10 seconds; after a command (`Bash`), at most every 60 seconds; and at turn end, before compaction, and at exit as before. So a session killed mid-turn leaves a checkpoint at most about 10 seconds behind its last edit. The new `PostToolUse` hook reads only `cwd` and the tool's name, never the tool's input, and does not touch the network; checkpoints upload when the next session starts here. `hypher status` prints the newest checkpoint of this worktree: its event, the clock time (local and UTC), its age, and whether it is still queued or uploaded. Re-run `npx @litterthanlit/hypher-cli@latest init` to add the hook to a 0.2.0 install. Codex is unchanged (no `PostToolUse` hook, no `SessionStart` checkpoint): that is M4.
+- `hypher resume` prints the note for this repository; `hypher seal` saves a handoff. `hypher resume --full` prints every item the note cut ("N more"); with `--json` it adds the whole decision ledger under `ledger`.
 - `hypher seal --evidence "<command>=<exit code>"` (repeatable, split at the last `=`) reports a check you ran. Hypher binds each to the working tree at the save and labels it an agent report (only agent reports are accepted until hooks capture checks in Baton M3); the next note says whether that tree still matches. It never runs the command. Only the command text, exit code, tree hash, and time leave the machine, never output. Against a server that does not accept evidence yet, the handoff saves without it and says so.
-- `hypher mcp` is the bridge for any MCP client: `resume`, `seal`, and `acknowledge`, with no IDs.
+- `hypher mcp` is the bridge for any MCP client: `resume`, `seal`, and `acknowledge`, with no project id, revision, or key to fill in. It also fills the repository and branch into a bare `read_ledger` call.
+- **The decision ledger (0.2.0; built and rehearsed, not recorded).** For a project whose ledger is on, the server sends its note as a field of `prepare_handoff` (`ledgerNote`), and that field, never the words of the text, is how the CLI knows. The note then shows decisions and constraints by ID (`d-3`, `c-2`), and `hypher seal` saves as ledger ops: one `record_ops` call built from the same input, based on the revision the session read. Lists are added to the ledger and never replace it: leaving a line out removes nothing. A decision is replaced by naming its ID (`--replaces d-3`, or its words, which the CLI looks up once); a task is closed by listing it under `completed`; `--open "…"` (`open`) lists tasks that are still open; `ops` (JSON input) sends raw ledger ops for the rest, such as `decision.retire`, `task.drop`, or `blocker.resolve`. `D1`-style numbers do not apply there and are refused with a hint. Everything is checked on this computer first (secrets, `FILL:`, lengths, 50 ops, 25,000 bytes), and a refusal is in plain words with nothing sent. If the server says the ledger is not on, or has no `record_ops`, the same seal is a v1 save; Hypher being down or the ledger refusing the call is final, because nothing is written around the ledger. A project with no handoff saves its first one the v1 way in every mode, and for a project whose ledger is off or shadow nothing changed from 0.1.8, except that a cut list in the note now says to run `hypher resume --full`.
 - `hypher uninstall` removes exactly what `init` added and revokes the key.
 - `init` also puts `~/.hypher/bin` on PATH with one marked block in your shell's startup file (`~/.zshenv` for zsh, `~/.bash_profile` or `~/.bashrc` for bash, a `conf.d` file for fish), so `hypher` runs by name in new terminals and in agents' shells. `--no-path` skips it; hooks and the MCP bridge use the full path either way.
 - Inside Codex's sandbox the Keychain and the network are blocked. Commands run there say so instead of reporting that this computer is not connected.
 
 Only hashes, file names, repository and commit identity, and agent-written handoff text leave the machine. Never code, diffs, or transcripts.
