 ### Step 1 — Install kylon (once per host, re-paste to upgrade)
 
 ```bash
-gh release download --repo fre-so/p2 --pattern 'kylon.mjs' --output /tmp/kylon.new \
-  && chmod +x /tmp/kylon.new \
-  && sudo mv /tmp/kylon.new /usr/local/bin/kylon

-`gh auth login`) is required instead of plain `curl`.
+Installs the CLI globally so the `kylon` binary lands on PATH — the
+gateway daemon's child `kylon workspace …` calls (issued by the
+provider subprocess) resolve it there. Re-run to upgrade to whatever
+the dist-tag now points to. If the global install needs elevated
+permissions, prefix it with `sudo`.
 
-Re-paste to upgrade: the `sudo mv` overwrites the binary in place

-want a specific build instead of latest, download the matching
-`kylon-vX.Y.Z.mjs` from that release's page — every release
-publishes both the stable-name `kylon.mjs` and the versioned copy.
+The dist-tag tracks the environment: production installs `@latest`,
+dev installs `@next` (newest prerelease). To pin a specific build,
+install `kylon-cli@X.Y.Z`.

-The GitHub Release tag still uses the historical

+Prerelease builds are versioned `0.1.0-next.<run>` automatically by

+`packages/cli/package.json` to the target semver, then push the matching

-### Active channel — GitHub Release asset
+### Publishing
 
-Triggered automatically by `.github/workflows/release-cli.yml` on any
-push to `main` that touches `packages/cli/**`,
-`packages/workspace-cli-core/**`, or `packages/types/**`. The workflow:
+- **Prerelease (automatic):** every merge to `main` touching the CLI publishes
+  `0.1.0-next.<run>` to the `next` tag via `cli-publish.yml` (OIDC, no
+  `NPM_TOKEN`). dev tracks this tag, so dev always dogfoods the newest build.
+- **Stable (manual, when ready):** bump `packages/cli/package.json` to the
+  target version, merge, then tag the commit on `main`:
 
-1. Runs `pnpm --filter kylon-cli bundle:release` (obfuscated output).
-2. Smoke-tests `node packages/cli/dist/kylon-bundle.mjs --help`.
-3. Copies the bundle to **two** asset names under the release:
-   - `kylon-v0.0.${run_number}.mjs` — versioned, useful for pinning.
-   - `kylon.mjs` — stable name, downloadable via
-     `gh release download --repo fre-so/p2 --pattern 'kylon.mjs'`.
-4. Creates a GitHub Release tagged `cli/v0.0.${run_number}` with both
-   `.mjs` files attached.
+  ```bash
+  git pull
+  git tag kylon-cli-v0.1.1
+  git push origin kylon-cli-v0.1.1   # cli-publish.yml publishes it to `latest`
+  npm view kylon-cli dist-tags        # verify
+  ```
 
-The repo is private, so downloads require `gh` (authenticated) rather
-than plain `curl`. This is the shape the Web UI generates:
+  Do not `npm publish` ad-hoc — releases go through the workflow so the OIDC
+  provenance path is exercised end to end.
 
-```bash
-gh release download --repo fre-so/p2 --pattern 'kylon.mjs' --output /tmp/kylon
-chmod +x /tmp/kylon
-sudo mv /tmp/kylon /usr/local/bin/kylon

+### Rollback
 
-Pin to a specific build by downloading the versioned asset from its
-release page instead.
-
-No npm token required; the workflow only needs `contents: write`.
-
-### Rollback (GitHub channel)
-
-If the most recent push produced a broken CLI:
-
-1. Identify the last known good release under
-   <https://github.com/fre-so/p2/releases>.
-2. Manually re-upload that release's bundle under the name
-   `kylon.mjs` on the most recent release — that's what the Web UI's
-   stable URL resolves against. (Alternatively, revert the bad commit
-   and let `release-cli.yml` cut a new release.)
-3. Hosts with persistent installs re-run `curl -fsSL … -o
-   /usr/local/bin/kylon` to pull the rolled-back bundle.
-
-There is no equivalent of `npm deprecate` on GitHub Releases, so a
-broken bundle is "fixed" only by publishing a newer one.
-
-### Planned: npm publish
-
-This package is already wired for `npm publish` (metadata, `files`,
-`prepack`, `publishConfig.access: public`). The only things missing
-are the publish CI workflow and the owning npm account. The plan:
-
-1. Someone claims `kylon-cli` on npm (the name is currently 404).
-2. A granular publish token (Read + Write on `kylon-cli`) is stored
-   as the `NPM_TOKEN` GitHub Actions secret on `fre-so/p2`.
-3. Split the release automation:
-   - **`cli-verify.yml`** — runs on PRs and pushes touching
-     `packages/cli/**`. Runs typecheck, lint, test, `bundle:release`,
-     and `npm pack`. Does not publish.
-   - **`cli-publish.yml`** — runs on push of tag `cli/vX.Y.Z`.
-     Verifies the tag matches `packages/cli/package.json#version`,
-     then `pnpm --filter kylon-cli publish --access public
-     --no-git-checks` with
-     `NODE_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NPM_TOKEN }}`.
-4. The API exposes `recommendedCliVersion`; the Web UI flips from
-   the `curl` shape above to `npx -y kylon-cli@<recommended> gateway
-   run …`.
-
-Until (2) + (3) land, do **not** `npm publish` ad-hoc — the first
-live release should come out through the paired CI workflow so the
-token path is exercised end-to-end. Once the workflow exists, the
-release ritual becomes:
+npm publishes are immutable; roll back by re-pointing the tag, not by
+unpublishing:
 
 ```bash
-# 1. On a release branch
-pnpm --filter kylon-cli version 0.1.1   # bumps packages/cli/package.json only
-
-# 2. Merge to main via PR, verify CI is green
-
-# 3. Tag the commit on main
-git pull
-git tag cli/v0.1.1
-git push origin cli/v0.1.1
-
-# 4. GitHub Actions publishes; verify
-npm view kylon-cli@0.1.1 dist-tags
+npm dist-tag add kylon-cli@<last-good> latest   # move the channel back
+npm deprecate kylon-cli@<bad> "Broken release — use <last-good>."
 ```
 
-Rollback once npm is live: flip `recommendedCliVersion` in the API
-back to the last known good version (new operators get that version
-in their install command; in-flight daemons keep their current CLI
-until they restart). If the pushed version is actively broken, also
-`npm deprecate kylon-cli@<bad> "…"` so operators that ignore the
-recommendation see a warning. Do not `npm unpublish`.
-
-### Pre-release channel (npm-era, also planned)
-
-Once npm is live, risky changes can go out under a `next` dist-tag so
-the Web UI's recommended version is untouched:
-
-```bash
-# 1. Bump to a prerelease version
-pnpm --filter kylon-cli version 0.2.0-next.0
-
-# 2. Publish under the `next` dist-tag
-cd packages/cli && pnpm publish --tag next --access public --no-git-checks
-
-# 3. Operators can opt in explicitly
-npx -y kylon-cli@next gateway run …
-
-# 4. Promote to `latest` once validated
-npm dist-tag add kylon-cli@0.2.0-next.0 latest
-```
+Operators on `@latest` pick up the re-pointed version the next time they
+`npm install -g kylon-cli@latest`; in-flight daemons keep their current CLI
+until they restart. Do not `npm unpublish`.
