What changed
threadlenscommandSKILL.mdand CLI-first installation clearlyWhy
Unsigned native executables create platform trust, signing, notarization, and maintenance costs that do not fit Threadlens. A stdlib-only Python CLI installed with
uvorpipxkeeps the product cross-platform without shipping opaque binaries. It also preserves the intended architecture: search lives in the CLI, while Raycast and agent skills remain thin clients.The storage permission change closes a separate safety issue found during the documentation audit: Threadlens previously tightened permissions on any existing parent directory supplied through a custom path. It now applies private directory permissions only to directories it creates, while keeping the database/config file private.
