+ ## 0.65.1 — 29.10.2026
12
+
13
+ ### Fixed
14
+
15
+ - **`Credentials` with `isolated` no longer writes the system keyring** ([WC-SECR-24](docs/standards/security.md), new:
16
+ a run with moved folders never writes the owner's keyring). A per-folder keyring service (`<app>:<folder>`) was
17
+ leaving one copy of a sign-in per temp folder. A secret goes to the private file in the moved config folder
18
+ instead; one saved in the keyring before is still read, so an existing per-folder sign-in keeps working until its
19
+ next save moves it to the file. A test passing its own keyring (`memoryKeyring()`) is unchanged.
20
+ - **`cli-dev changelog restore` no longer fails a package's first release.** With no `v<x.y.z>` tag yet it says there
21
+ is nothing to restore and exits 0; `bin/release` stopped at "no v<x.y.z> tag to compare the changelog with".
22
+
23
+ ## 0.65.0 — 27.10.2026
24
+
25
+ ### Added
26
+
27
+ - **Calendar words for moving an event and for "this and all following".** Flag `--following` (`target`, switch):
28
+ this occurrence and every later one of a repeating event (`events update|delete --following`), beside `--series`.
29
+ `--scope` already means personal or work, so it is not reused. Flag `--to-calendar <id>` (`target`, id): the
30
+ calendar an event moves to (`events move --to-calendar`); `--calendar` keeps its meaning, the calendar the event is
31
+ on. The verb `move` now says what moves in general: a file to a folder, an event to a calendar. cli-core's shared
32
+ calendar commands use all three; gcal-cli carries `lint/overrides.json` entries for them until this release.
33
+ - **Every CLI that signs in has `session start`, `session status`, `session end` and a profile-free `session list`.**
34
+ [WC-ACCT-12](docs/standards/accounts.md#wc-acct-12--sign-in-is-session-start-status-and-end-and-session-list-names-the-profiles)
35
+ is the owner's ruling: `status` says whether one profile is signed in, `list` which profiles exist. Each
36
+ CLI's missing commands are listed as known gaps: tg, max and wa lack `session status` and list profiles with
37
+ `account list`; drive lacks `session status`; gcal lacks `session list`; zm lacks `session end` and `session list`;
38
+ memo has no `session` group.
39
+ - **A sync spends a request budget sized to its deadline and says how to continue.**
40
+ [WC-LIFE-16](docs/standards/lifecycle.md#wc-life-16--a-sync-spends-a-request-budget-sized-to-its-deadline-and-its-answer-says-how-to-continue)
41
+ describes what cli-core 0.464.0 (cli-core #2118) builds for the calendar sync: `floor((deadline − margin) /
42
+ requestMs)` requests, one `requestMs` per CLI, `--max-pages` only lowering it, a partial stop that exits 0 with the
43
+ exact command to continue, and progress in the sync's status command. The other syncs and gcal's own `requestMs`
44
+ are listed as gaps.
45
+
46
+ - **The command vocabulary has the verbs `serve` (run a server in this process and answer its clients until stopped)
47
+ and `revoke` (take back what was granted, so it stops working).** cli-core 0.463.0 names the MCP server
48
+ `mcp serve` and gives forgetting browser logins its own command, `mcp revoke`; `revoke` also covers
49
+ `chats link revoke` and the `consents revoke` commands that were baselined as unknown verbs.
50
+
51
+ ### Changed — may break callers
52
+
53
+ - **A command that reads the service and only saves what it read is a read, also over MCP.**
54
+ [WC-CMD-17](docs/standards/commands.md#wc-cmd-17--declare-effects-on-every-command) defines a write, and WC-CMD-6,
55
+ WC-CMD-28, [WC-MCP-4](docs/standards/mcp.md#wc-mcp-4--read-runs-only-reading-commands-and-write-only-writing-ones)
56
+ and WC-OUT-9 point at it: `{ remote: "read", local: "write" }` (`sync`, `calendars list`) runs through the `read`
57
+ tool; `{ remote: "none", local: "write" }` (`store reindex`) stays a write. cli-base's `writes()` still counts every
58
+ local write, so cli-core serves `sync` through `write` until a follow-up changes it; watch for that release, which
59
+ moves those commands between tools.
60
+ - **Deadlines: 30 s for a one-shot command, 5 min for a cooperative one at a terminal and 45 s over MCP.**
61
+ [WC-LIFE-5](docs/standards/lifecycle.md#wc-life-5--bound-every-one-shot-command-by-a-deadline) and WC-LIFE-10 say
62
+ so, as cli-core 0.464.0 builds it, because MCP clients cut a tool call at about 60 s.
63
+ - **A non-messenger CLI allows ordinary writes, asks before deletes, and denies mail to other people and deleting
64
+ a whole series.**
65
+ [WC-PERM-22](docs/standards/permissions.md#wc-perm-22--a-cli-that-is-not-a-messenger-declares-its-own-keys-and-defaults-with-commandpermissions)
66
+ follows the owner's ruling, and a CLI's generic API path must check the shared keys (`events.notify`,
67
+ `events.delete.series`) too. Its example said sharing a calendar is `deny`; the owner made it `ask`. cli-core's
68
+ `CALENDAR_WRITE_DEFAULTS` and gcal's `api` defaults do not follow it yet; both are listed as gaps.
69
+ - **Meeting passcodes stay out of command output and agent answers, not only out of the store.**
70
+ [WC-SECR-23](docs/standards/security.md) covers answers that come straight from the provider: gcal's `api` answers
71
+ still keep a description's passcode lines, a listed gap.
72
+ - **Each CLI pins the command catalogue behind its MCP tools.** The [MCP](docs/standards/mcp.md) page no longer
73
+ claims `mcp-tools.json` pins the catalogue: with three tools it does not. `contracts/mcp-catalogue.json` does; tg and
74
+ max have it, and wa, zm, gcal and drive do not yet.
75
+
76
+ - **An MCP server serves the profiles it is told, and refuses without them.**
77
+ [WC-MCP-9](docs/standards/mcp.md#wc-mcp-9--a-server-serves-the-profiles-it-is-told-with-one-connection-for-each)
78
+ now allows one named profile (`<cli> <profile> mcp serve`), a list (`<cli> mcp serve --profiles work,personal`) or
79
+ every profile (`<cli> mcp serve --profiles all`), with one messenger connection per served profile. With no profile
80
+ and no `--profiles`, `mcp serve` fails with `validation_error` and lists the profiles; it never serves every profile
81
+ by default. With several profiles, each call names its profile. WC-ACCT-1, WC-ACCT-2 and WC-ACCT-5 say how
82
+ `--profiles` fits the profile rules, and a profile lock refuses `--profiles all`. The flag registry has `--profiles`.
83
+ The owner ruled it; cli-core does not build `--profiles` yet.
84
+ - **The handbook names the MCP server `mcp serve` and has no `mcp --revoke` exception.** The
85
+ [MCP](docs/standards/mcp.md) and [Lifecycle](docs/standards/lifecycle.md) pages say `mcp serve`, `mcp serve --http`,
86
+ `mcp serve --permission`, `bot mcp serve` and `mcp revoke`, as cli-core 0.463.0 builds them.
87
+ [WC-CMD-6](docs/standards/commands.md#wc-cmd-6--give-one-action-or-one-report-one-leaf-command) no longer lets
88
+ `--revoke` stay an option: forgetting every browser login is the `mcp revoke` command. A CLI with its own server
89
+ (drive, memo, zoom) moves to the same shape.
90
+ - **A lint baseline entry for `serve` or `revoke` goes stale, and `cli-dev lint` fails on it.** cli-core lists
91
+ `bot mcp serve`, `mcp serve`, `mcp revoke` and `replies consents revoke` in `lint/baseline/unknown-verb.json`;
92
+ tg-cli and max-cli list `replies consents revoke`. Remove those entries in the same change that takes this version.
93
+ - **The HTTP MCP server rule covers every CLI that offers `mcp serve --http`, not only the messenger CLIs.**
94
+ [WC-MCP-12](docs/standards/mcp.md#wc-mcp-12--an-mcp-server-over-http-follows-the-same-permissions-and-short-lived-logins)
95
+ now applies to cli-template and every CLI made from it, which have offered `mcp serve --http` with no rule over it.
96
+ The template already follows it; a CLI that changed its copy of the HTTP server checks it against the rule.
97
+
98
+ ### Fixed
99
+
100
+ - **`cli-dev audit` compares gcal only on the commands it already shares with every CLI, for now.** cli-base 0.64.0
101
+ put gcal into the `all` parity group, and gcal's release audit then blocked on 20 `same-path-contract` differences
102
+ in `doctor`, `mcp`, `search` and `skill` that already exist among the other six published CLIs and that gcal
103
+ cannot remove alone (gcal-cli#13). gcal leaves `all` and has its own group, `gcal-shared`, with every CLI over
104
+ `commands`, `upgrade`, `notes` and `meetings`. It rejoins `all` once tg, max, wa, drive, zoom and memo release on
105
+ cli-core's shared `mcp serve`, `doctor` and `skill` ([#390](https://github.com/WireCatLabs/cli-base/issues/390)).
106
+ The other CLIs' audits are unchanged: a path is compared across every member of every group that covers it.
107
+
108
+ - **`cli-dev bundle`'s loader finds a server after a flag: `<cli> personal --read-only mcp serve`.** It looked for
109
+ `serve`, `watch` or `mcp` in the first three words of the command, and since cli-core 0.463 named the server
110
+ `mcp serve`, a flag before it pushed `serve` to the fourth word. Such a server loaded no chunks ahead and could fail
111
+ after an in-place upgrade (measured on drive: 91 of 138 chunks loaded, instead of 138). The loader now skips flags
112
+ and looks at four words. Rebuild a CLI with this release to take it.
113
+ - **The handbook no longer contradicts itself on gcal's audit findings.**
114
+ - WC-OUT-8 and WC-OUT-14: an answer with `meta.complete: false` is an answer on stdout, also after a non-zero
115
+ exit; only a run with no answer prints one JSON error with stdout empty.
116
+ - WC-CMD-10 names `--max-pages` a `budget` option, not a paging one, and says why the calendar `--id` exists beside
117
+ `--operation-id`; gcal's `events create`, with `--id` and no `--operation-id`, is a listed gap. WC-CMD-11 lists `--duration-minutes` as a known gap until the vocabulary has
118
+ `--duration <duration>`.
119
+ - WC-REL-16 says `packContents` checks the pack against the list it is given, so a check that passes the `files`
120
+ list itself cannot fail on a wrong list; the fix belongs in cli-template.
121
+ - WC-TIME-5 matches an all-day event by local dates, not UTC moments; cli-core's event filter is a listed gap.
122
+ - WC-ARCH-3 counts generated API types as vendor types, WC-ARCH-5 and WC-ARCH-6 cover calendar CLIs, and
123
+ WC-ARCH-21's example is gcal's real provider entry.
124
+ - WC-TOOL-16 puts a word waiting for the vocabulary in `lint/overrides.json` with a link and a date, never in the
125
+ baseline. The [Documents](docs/standards/docs.md#wc-doc-3--every-document-states-current-facts-rewrite-a-wrong-sentence-in-place)
126
+ rule on current facts sends a false template-owned file to cli-template.
127
+ - WC-DATA-3 makes a calendar entry's `external_id` unique per calendar, WC-STORE-3 lists the calendar areas as not
128
+ bound, WC-TEST-12 says what a reason names, and WC-TEST-14 counts the shared store as local state.
129
+ - The "who follows" lists name gcal.
130
+
131
+ - **The handbook's pages on the template match cli-template 0.9.0.** The [Kit surface](docs/standards/kit-surface.md)
132
+ table lists `LOCAL_WRITE` and `revokeAll`, which the template now imports, and counts imports loaded on demand.
133
+ [New CLI](docs/standards/new-cli.md) says the MCP server has three tools that reach every command, not a tool for
134
+ every command.
135
+ - **The handbook says where a lint violation that a shared package forces goes, and which cli-core files are not a
136
+ CLI's local state.** [WC-TOOL-16](docs/standards/toolchain.md) puts such a violation in the CLI's lint baseline
137
+ until the shared package catches up.
138
+ [WC-TEST-14](docs/standards/testing.md#wc-test-14--check-the-upgrade-from-the-previous-published-version) names
139
+ the update check, MCP logins and lock files that only cli-core writes as outside the upgrade contract; tests still
140
+ keep them in the sandboxed home.

+ ### WC-ACCT-12 · Sign-in is `session start`, `status` and `end`, and `session list` names the profiles
163
+
164
+ Every CLI that signs in has four commands under `session`:
165
+
166
+ - `<cli> <profile> session start` signs the profile in.
167
+ - `<cli> <profile> session status` says whether this profile is signed in, and as whom.
168
+ - `<cli> <profile> session end` signs the profile out and forgets its login.
169
+ - `<cli> session list` takes no profile and lists the profiles on this computer.
170
+
171
+ `status` answers about one profile; `list` answers which profiles exist. Neither one connects to more than it must:
172
+ `list` reads only what the computer holds.
173
+
174
+ - **Why:** the owner and an agent look for sign-in in the same place in every CLI. Today each CLI has a different
175
+ part of the set, so an agent that learned one CLI guesses wrong in the next.
176
+ - **Enforced by:** review only.
177
+ - **Example:** `gcal personal session status` answers whether the `personal` profile holds a Google login;
178
+ `gcal session list` lists `personal` and `work` with no profile named.
179
+ - **Exceptions:** known gaps, as of 2026-10-27:
180
+ - tg, max and wa have `session start` and `session end`, no `session status`, and list their profiles with
181
+ `account list` instead of `session list`.

185
+ - memo signs in per mail account with `mail add` and has no `session` group.

+
187
