+ The `cvc` command-line tool for [Volute CVC](https://github.com/meirka8/volute) (Cognitive Version Control). CVC records AI-assisted development context — prompts, responses, integration-exposed reasoning, and tool metadata — alongside Git history, private by default.

- From 0.7.1 this package will install the CVC command-line launcher, which provides the `cvc`, `cvc-mcp` and `cvc-lsp` commands.
5
+ This package is a launcher: it downloads the released CVC binaries for your platform, verifies them, and runs them. It is the same launcher that is published as [`@volute_cvc/cvc-mcp`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@volute_cvc/cvc-mcp), under a name for command-line users.

16
+ The first run downloads the release that matches this package's version, so it needs network access once. Supported platforms: Linux x86-64, macOS x86-64, macOS ARM64, and Windows x86-64. Linux ARM64 is not published, and the launcher rejects an unsupported platform before downloading.

18
+ Install this package or `@volute_cvc/cvc-mcp` globally, not both. They provide the same three commands, so npm stops the second install with an `EEXIST` error.

20
+ ## Commands
21
+
22
+ - `cvc` — the CVC command-line interface (init, capture, sharing, and the Claude Code harness).
23
+ - `cvc-mcp` — the MCP server, for coding agents that speak the Model Context Protocol.
24
+ - `cvc-lsp` — the language server that editor integrations use.
25
+
26
+ ## Get started
27
+
28
+ From a Git working tree:
29
+
30
+ ```bash
31
+ cvc init
32
+ cvc privacy acknowledge-capture
33
+ cvc harness install claude-code
34
+ ```
35
+
36
+ Then start a new Claude Code session and run `cvc conversations`. The [repository README](https://github.com/meirka8/volute#capture-claude-code-sessions) explains each step, including `cvc init`, and the [CLI README](https://github.com/meirka8/volute/blob/main/cvc-cli/README.md) covers the full command set.
37
+
38
+ ## Where the binaries run from
39
+
40
+ The launcher keeps `cvc`, `cvc-mcp`, and `cvc-lsp` in `~/.cvc/bin` (`%USERPROFILE%\.cvc\bin` on Windows), the directory the `install.sh` and `install.ps1` installer scripts use, and runs them from there. It downloads and replaces them only when that directory is missing, out of date, or unexecutable, and it never downgrades. `cvc harness install claude-code` records `~/.cvc/bin/cvc` in your Claude Code hooks, so an upgrade reaches the hooks without reinstalling them. What the launcher does when it cannot publish, how it verifies a download, and its configuration variables are in the [launcher README](https://github.com/meirka8/volute/blob/main/npm/cvc-mcp/README.md).
41
+
42
+ ## Upgrading
43
+
44
+ ```bash
45
+ npm install --global @volute_cvc/cvc@latest
46
+ ```
47
+
48
+ The package has no post-install step, so the new release reaches `~/.cvc/bin` only when the npm-installed `cvc` next runs: `"$(npm prefix -g)/bin/cvc" --version` on Linux and macOS, or `& "$(npm prefix -g)\cvc.cmd" --version` in PowerShell. Plain `cvc --version` is not enough if `~/.cvc/bin` comes first on your `PATH`, which is what the PATH setup offered by `install.sh` does: that runs the installed binary, which publishes nothing.
49
+
50
+ ## Already using `@volute_cvc/cvc-mcp`?
51
+
52
+ MCP client configurations that run `cvc-mcp` or `npx @volute_cvc/cvc-mcp` keep working, and that package is still published with every release. To move a global install over for the command line:
53
+
54
+ ```bash
55
+ npm uninstall --global @volute_cvc/cvc-mcp
56
+ npm install --global @volute_cvc/cvc
57
+ ```
58
+
59
+ ## Privacy
60
+
61
+ Everything is private by default and fail-closed. Capture requires a one-time local acknowledgement, and remote sharing and auto-push each require a separate interactive challenge tied to the destination. See [Privacy.md](https://github.com/meirka8/volute/blob/main/Privacy.md).
