§00Changelog
Every version, and what it changed for you.
63 releases since 25 Jul 2026. Breaking changes say what to do about them, and a version that rebuilds your index says so at the top.
Archis updates itself: chi update checks what is published, verifies the release hash before writing anything, and puts the previous binary back if the new one does not start. chi update --check installs nothing.

A new session knows Archis is there, without being asked.
- NewYour agent is briefed at the start of a session: that Archis is installed and licensed, whether this repository is indexed, and which tool answers which kind of question. A model that was never told any of that explores a new project the way it always has, and Archis ends the session having never been called. Run

chi updateshows what it is doing. It used to print one line and then go silent for however long thirty megabytes take on your connection, which is indistinguishable from a hang — and interrupting an update midway means interrupting it while it is replacing a binary. Every step now reports itself, with bytes, transfer rate and an estimate. - ImprovedA directory with no source files in it yet is told apart from one that has never been indexed, so an agent working in a project you are about to create is not sent to look for an index that could not exist.
