-### Upgrading on Windows
+**Run `crapkit ratchet seed` first.** Shell cognitive complexity now nests, which is
+analysis version 8, and marks measured under version 7 are not comparable. Until you
+re-seed, `verify` refuses at exit 3:
+
+```
+$ crapkit verify
+crapkit: ratchet marks were recorded under [crapkit-analysis=7 lizard=1.24.0] but this run measures [crapkit-analysis=8 lizard=1.24.0] — CRAP scores are not comparable across metric versions; re-baseline with `crapkit ratchet seed`
+```
+
+Only shell and PowerShell cognitive numbers move. `ccn` does not, so a re-seed re-stamps
+the file and leaves the marks where they were.
+
+Five more things change under you. Three of them need nothing from you:
+
+- **New cache files.** `.crapkit/coupling-cache-v1.json` joins `churn-cache-v2.json` and
+  `churn-log-v2.z`. A warm 0.4.4 churn cache is adopted once and its file removed, and
+  `.crapkit/` is already gitignored, so nothing new reaches your index.
+- **`trend` and `report` write.** Both read a per-run rollup table, filled once per run and
+  pruned with its run, instead of rescanning every scored row. A read-only `.crapkit/`
+  costs the speedup, never the command.
+- **Nested scopes may move files.** One predicate decides scope ownership now, and the
+  deepest declared path wins, so a repo whose `[[scope]]` paths nest inside each other can
+  see files change scope, rollup and ceiling on the next scan. Scopes that do not nest see
+  no change.
+
+The other two put something in front of you:
+
+- **`mutate` keeps a worktree pool.** With `mutation_workers > 1` the worker worktrees now
+  live under `.crapkit/mutate-pool/` between runs and are re-prepared each run, which is
+  the setup cost gone (30.6 s to build four on a 31,459-file repo, 0.46 s to re-prepare
+  them). The pool is not size-bounded and nothing sweeps it: `crapkit mutate --drop-pool`
+  removes it and exits. Single-worker runs are untouched.
+- **`doctor` WARNs on a lane with no `results_artifact`.** Every `coveragepy` or `istanbul`
+  lane written before 0.4.5 gets one, with the two lines that fix it. Coverage is
+  unaffected. What the lane cannot feed without a results file is the crashed-worker check
+  and the no-new-failures check (exit 8).

Defaults: `--min-support 5` shared commits, `--min-confidence 0.5` max-direction ratio, `--top 50`. Bulk commits never couple pairs, and a young repo returns nothing at the default support. The ranked pairs are cached in `.crapkit/coupling-cache-v1.json`, keyed on HEAD, the churn window, today's UTC date, the path format and a digest of the tracked set, and shared with `brief` and `worklist --batches` (warm: 1.05 s to 0.11 s on a 72k-commit repo). The date is part of that key, so the first run after midnight UTC rebuilds the pairs on an unchanged HEAD. `--top` reads the cache, because it truncates that same order; `--min-support` or `--min-confidence` off their defaults ask a wider question than the file answers, so they bypass it and recompute. |
+| `mutate [--files F ...] [--max-mutants N] [--drop-pool] [--json]` | Diff-scoped mutation testing: flips comparisons, boundary shifts, boolean connectives and boolean literals on changed lines, runs `mutation_command` per mutant, lists survivors. `--files` replaces diff scope with the whole file. `--max-mutants` (default 100) caps the run and the cap warning goes to stderr only, so `mutants` in `--json` is the capped count. Shell and PowerShell files are refused by name on stderr rather than mutated: `<` and `>` are redirections there, not comparisons. With `mutation_workers > 1` the worker worktrees are kept at `.crapkit/mutate-pool/` and re-prepared per run (30.6 s to build four on a 31,459-file repo, 0.46 s to re-prepare them); `--drop-pool` removes them and exits. |
 | `test-scoped FILE ...` | Runs each owning scope's `[crapkit.scoped_tests]` template on the files (quoted, longest-prefix scope wins). A template with no `{files}` runs as written, which is how a scope whose tests live outside its own paths runs its whole suite. Exit code only; a nonzero runner exits 1. |
 | `hook-precommit` | The cc-only gate on staged blobs. No coverage, no snapshot, no repo-wide cache. Exit 6 on a violation. |
 | `claude-hook [--protocol N]` | Reads one Claude Code PostToolUse payload from stdin and judges the file it edited: ccn against the scope ceiling, on functions the edit changed, minus functions a ratchet mark already covers. Advisory only. The edit has landed, nothing is blocked, and `hook-precommit` stays the enforcement point. Exit 2 with three lines on stderr is the only thing it ever says: no `crapkit.toml` above the edited file, an unscoped file, mid-rebase or mid-merge, a `--protocol` other than 1, source that parses to no functions, or any internal failure all exit 0 in silence. Takes no `--repo`, because the root is the first `crapkit.toml` above the edited file and the upward walk stops at a `.git` entry, so a worktree never borrows its parent's config. It opens no snapshot and writes nothing. |
 | `watch [--interval SECONDS] [--cycles N]` | Rescores tracked files as they change (mtime polling, default 2s, subprocess-isolated so a half-saved syntax error never kills the watcher). `--cycles N` polls exactly N times and exits 0; without it the loop runs until ctrl-c. |
