v0.3.0

[0.3.0] - 2026-04-24

The "your AI agent can work with Bonsai itself" release. Every new workspace now carries an agent-readable mental model of Bonsai, a filesystem-discoverable catalog snapshot, and copy-paste prompts to get your agent started. Plus a scope-guard correctness fix and cinematic polish on the last two commands that needed it.

Added

• Your agent can now reason about Bonsai directly. Every new workspace ships a bonsai-model skill at agent/Skills/bonsai-model.md — a concise mental model covering how the catalog is shaped, when to add vs customize, and how the commands fit together. Point your agent at it and it can propose changes without you hand-feeding docs.
• Machine-readable catalog. bonsai init, add, and update now write .bonsai/catalog.json at your project root — a filesystem-discoverable listing of every agent type, skill, workflow, protocol, sensor, and routine the installed binary ships. Same data available on demand via bonsai catalog --json for CI or scripted consumption (respects -a <agent> filter).
• "Bonsai Reference" in every generated CLAUDE.md. A pointer table near the top of each workspace CLAUDE.md tells your agent where to find the model doc, the catalog snapshot, and the installed-state file. Pi.dev-inspired progressive-disclosure pattern: zero tokens spent until the agent actually needs to know.
• Post-command hints you'll actually use. init, add, remove, and update yield screens now show three labeled sections:
  1. Next steps — the mechanical CLI commands to run next
  2. Try this — workflow suggestions inside your new workspace
  3. Ask your agent — bordered copy-paste prompt boxes you can hand straight to Claude / your editor / wherever
     Hints are agent-type aware — a backend agent gets backend-shaped prompts, a devops agent gets devops-shaped ones.
• Cinematic bonsai remove and bonsai update — the last two commands without a dedicated flow package got the same treatment as init / add / list / catalog / guide. Stage rails, chromeless prompts for destructive actions, per-file conflict resolver, responsive resize, ASCII fallback.
• NO_COLOR and TERM=dumb honored explicitly. Scripts piping Bonsai output and color-averse terminals now get clean text with zero ANSI escapes. Covered by regression tests so it stays that way.

Changed

• bonsai add keeps every agent's awareness up to date automatically. After you add a new agent, Bonsai now refreshes the peer-awareness files on every already-installed agent — you no longer need to run bonsai update after each add to keep scope-guards honest. Lock-aware, so any hand-edits you've made to those files still trigger the conflict resolver.
• bonsai update non-TTY path returns a proper exit code. When run in a script and conflicts can't be auto-resolved, bonsai update now exits non-zero so your CI actually notices. Previously it printed a warning and silently returned success.
• Cleaner internals in cmd/update.go (313 lines → ~85). All TUI logic delegated to the new flow package; business logic preserved.

Fixed

• Silent cross-agent scope-guard bypass. Before 0.3, running bonsai add backend in a project that already had a tech-lead did not update tech-lead's scope-guard-files.sh with a block-rule for the new backend/ workspace. Net effect: dispatching tech-lead to edit a backend file quietly worked when scope-guard was supposed to exit 2 and block it. Same class of silent staleness on dispatch-guard.sh's workspace→agent map. Now refreshed automatically on every add.

Security

• Peer-awareness state is now always correct after add. Closes the class of silent scope-guard bypasses described in Fixed. No more "tech-lead can edit any agent's files" once a project grows past one agent.
