 # @mercury-fw/cli
 
+## 0.38.1
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- 972a17f: - `mfw local-packages` and `mfw create --local-packages` name each tarball in `.packs/` after its content, so a package repacked at the same version is installed anew instead of kept from Bun's cache or refused by the lockfile's integrity check
+  - @mercury-fw/core@0.38.1
+  - @mercury-fw/utils@0.38.1
+
+## 0.38.0
+
+### Minor Changes
+
+- de1ee52: Several people talking at once.
+
+  - `@mercury-fw/core`: turns of one conversation run one after the other, on every channel. Before, two HTTP `/turn` on the same conversation id ran together and mixed up its history.
+  - `@mercury-fw/core`: a turn waiting behind another one on the same conversation is dropped as soon as its client goes away.
+  - `@mercury-fw/core`: the idle capture waits for a running turn before it closes a conversation, and a sweep never starts while the previous one is still running.
+  - `@mercury-fw/core`: the capture a history compression triggers no longer leaves the capture marker wrong, which could make a later capture take the same messages twice or skip new ones.
+  - `@mercury-fw/core`: the tool log is kept per person, so a busy person no longer pushes everyone else's calls out of it.
+  - `@mercury-fw/core`: consolidation, `index.md` updates and confirmed promotions compare against the current file in the same queue as the write, so a concurrent update is never lost.
+  - `@mercury-fw/core`: vault files are written through a temporary file and a rename, so a reader never sees one half written.
+  - `@mercury-fw/core`: a vault file that exists but can't be read fails a write that depends on it, instead of counting as missing.
+  - `@mercury-fw/core`: the nightly review rewrites or deletes only the version of a document it read, and rereads it when it changed meanwhile.
+  - `@mercury-fw/core`: each pass of the nightly review gets up to 100 steps, up from 15.
+  - `@mercury-fw/cli`: an e2e case on HTTP can send its turns in `lanes` that run at the same time, each as its own user, on a conversation of its own or one they share.

 Each run of an HTTP case is a conversation of its own. A turn also has the response's `status` (200, or 401 for a refused token). The event stream carries no tool results, so on HTTP a call's `input` is the line the surface shows for it (the command, for a CLI tool) and its `output` is there only for a call staged for confirmation, with the token, as on the REPL. A turn may span several lines.
 
+To see what happens when people talk at the same time, an HTTP case can have `lanes` instead of `turns`: every lane sends its own turns in order, as its own user (`as`, or the case's), while the other lanes send theirs. Each lane gets a conversation of its own, unless lanes name the same `conversation`, which sends their turns at once on one conversation id, like two tabs on one chat. In the check, `run.lanes` holds each lane's run, and `run.turns` every turn, lane by lane:
+
+```ts
+{
+  name: "Alice and Bob at once",
+  channel: "http",
+  lanes: [
+    { as: "alice", turns: ["Remember: tamarind. Reply OK.", "What word did I give you?"] },
+    { as: "bob", turns: ["Remember: persimmon. Reply OK.", "What word did I give you?"] },
+  ],
+  check: (run, expect) => {
+    expect.that("Alice gets hers", run.lanes![0]!.last.answer.includes("tamarind"));
+    expect.that("Bob gets his", run.lanes![1]!.last.answer.includes("persimmon"));
+  },
+}
+```
+
 `before`, `after` and `check` also get `cli(command)`, which runs `sh -c command` in the app's container, outside the model, and resolves to its exit code and output: to prepare data (an issue to work on, a note in the wiki with the vault CLI), to check what a turn changed (`jira issue get KEY --select fields.assignee.displayName` after an assignment), to clean up. `after` runs even when the run or the check failed. A test that changes an external system has to clean up after itself, so start from read-only ones.
