Rush CLI 0.2.40
The CLI becomes a thin cloud client. 31 commands removed across four waves of PHNX-3839 — implementations deleted, not hidden — plus two new cloud commands. Surface: 52 to 23 top-level, 189 to 97 commands, ~21,000 lines gone from the binary. See the Added / Changed / Removed entries below for the detail; this section is the summary and the version stamp.
A minor bump rather than a patch because commands were removed: build,
dev, plugin, skill, connector, registry, extension, agents,
list, view, uninstall, import, send, sync, tool, host,
profile, artifact, session, connection, trash, init, verify,
unpublish, publish, eval, deploy, capability, computer, inspect,
setup.
rush install is unchanged and still required: prix/factory execs
rush install <ref> --yes inside a cloud pod (pod-agent.ts:1392) to
materialise a registry agent before running it. Local agent authoring moves
upstream; agents/GUIDE.md carries a banner saying so.
This release also supersedes 0.2.40, which was stamped in this file but never reached the registry (PHNX-3922). Its content is included here.

rush cloud logs --new— what happened since you last looked (PHNX-3839). Prints only the log that has appeared since this machine last read the run, then exits. One-shot for live and finished runs alike: the question has an end, and following would just belogs -f. The read position is a byte offset stored per run under~/.rush/cursors/(0600 in a 0700 dir), so this adds no API surface. A blob shorter than the stored offset means the log was truncated or rotated, which is reported rather than silently mis-sliced; a missing or corrupt cursor degrades to showing everything. -
rush cloud list --repo / --agent / --since.--repotakesowner/nameor a bare name (case-insensitive);--agentis a substring, soclaudefindsclaude-code;--sincetakes30m/12h/7dor an absolute date. Applied client-side — the endpoint takes only limit and status today — which the flag help states outright, and the empty state names the active filters so a narrow filter is not mistaken for an empty account.
Changed
GET /cloud-runs/:id/logsreportstruncated. The Loki read is a single non-paginatedquery_rangecapped at 5000 entries, so a run past that many lines stops growing while the pod keeps working — previously with no signal. Without it,--newwould have reported "nothing new" forever on exactly the chatty runs it exists for.
Removed
-
Thin-client trim, wave 4 — the local-runtime and Store surfaces are gone from the binary, not just from
--help(PHNX-3839). 46 files, ~16k lines. Waves 1-3 took the surface 52 → 39 top-level, but twelve of the survivors were merelyHidden = true— still compiled, still maintained, still shipped. This deletes the implementations.- Removed:
build,dev,plugin,skill,connector,registry,extension,list,view,agents,uninstall,import,send,sync,tool,host,profile,artifact(singular),session(singular), and theconnectiongroup. - Surface, read from the built binary: 52 → 23 top-level, 189 → 97
commands, 28 → 16 visible in
rush --help. installstays. prix/factory execsrush install <ref> --yesinside a cloud pod to materialise a registry agent before running it (pod-agent.ts:1392); deleting it breaks cloud dispatch of registry agents. The factory's full rush surface isrun/serve/install/daemon, and those four are a production contract. Its interactive catalog browser is gone — the pod invocation is non-interactive — sorush installnow requires a named agent.rush/app's IPC was deliberately not treated as a constraint: AGENTS.md already directs the app off Store, installed agents, and local execution, and the app is being rewritten. Earlier waves treated app IPC as a hard blocker; that was wrong.- Local agent authoring moves upstream.
agents/GUIDE.mdcarries a banner: its agent.yaml, prompt, tool, and UI-component content is still accurate — only therush buildvalidation loop is gone.
- Removed:
-
Thin-client trim, wave 1 — 7 Go-harness commands (PHNX-3839).
rush trash,init,verify,unpublish,publish,eval, anddeployare gone, with their tests and docs. These belonged to the local.rushbuild-and-publish pipeline that the always-cloud client retires. The trash helpers (moveToTrash/listTrash/restoreTrash/purgeTrash) stay —rush session deletestill soft-deletes through them. Surface: 52 → 45 commands. -
Thin-client trim, wave 2 —
capability,computer,inspect,setup(PHNX-3839). All four are local-runtime surfaces with no caller inrush/apporprix/factory. Surface: 45 → 41 commands.rush capability— install-into-Rush asset manager.rush skill installandrush connector installare unchanged, and theprix/catalog/capabilities/tree stays because the skill walker readsSKILL.mdfiles nested under it.rush computer— registered a machine as a cloud compute target, part of the local device-execution path being retired. Machines registered before this release keep working: the daemon still auto-loads~/.rush/computer.yamlon start (internal/daemon/daemon.go:91-98). There is no supported way to register a new machine until the relay is re-exposed on the cloud surface — seerush/app/native/computer-win/docs/INSTALL.md.rush inspect— inspected a local.rushcontainer.rush setup— onboarding wizard for the local runtime. Theinternal/setuppackage stays: the daemon still servesGET /setup/status(internal/daemon/api.go:70), which the Rush app's Settings → Setup tab reads.formatBytesandrelativeTimemoved out of the deleted files intointernal/cli/display_format.go; the artifacts picker and the cloud account/host views still use them.
-
Thin-client trim, wave 3 — the duplicate
listandviewshortcuts (PHNX-3839).rush listandrush viewwere top-level aliases that shared theirRunEwithrush agents list/rush agents view—rush agents --helpadvertised the overlap explicitly (rush agents list ↔ rush list). Nothing is lost: the noun-group form is unchanged and is now the single home. Surface: 41 → 39 commands.rush agents listinherits theside_effect: read/auth: requiredannotations that lived on the deletedlistCmd. Agents readside_effectto decide whether a command is safe to run unattended, so leaving them behind would have silently reclassified listing as unsafe (it is one of 164 commands that carry no annotation today).rush agents listalso inherits the full flag help and examples (--source,--remote,--local,--system,--json) — the flags were already registered on it, only the documentation lived on the shortcut.- The interactive picker's header now reads
rush agents list; it rendered the removed command name on every invocation. - Neither shortcut had a caller in
rush/app,prix/factory, or any script (rush install/uninstall/run/sessionsdo, and are untouched).
Added
- Cloud runs carry the dispatched harness's local skills (PHNX-3867). When
RUSH_CLOUD_MEMORY_SYNC=1,rush cloud runbundles the harness's own home skills —~/.claude/skills(claude-code),~/.codex/skills(codex),~/.opencode/skills(opencode) — keyed to the dispatched account, credential-shaped files (.env,*.pem,auth.json, …) filtered out, and the factory materializes them into the pod's harness home so a cloud run has the same skills as that account's laptop. Codex skills are additionally mirrored into the agents-cli version home the codex shim actually reads (HOME is rewritten for codex). The bundle is capped safely under the per-process transport limit and fails loud (never a silent skill-less run) above it. Plugin sync (needs marketplace/config registration, not just files on disk) and large-bundle streaming are tracked follow-ups.
Fixed
- Re-cut from
mainso the full 0.2.39 surface actually ships (PHNX-3885). The published 0.2.39 binary was built from a checkout that predated PR #2090, sorush cloud artifacts <run-id> [name]was documented in the 0.2.39 CHANGELOG but absent from the shipped artifact —rush cloud --helpandrush meta commandsdid not list it. No command changed: 0.2.40 is a straight rebuild from currentmain, which carriesinternal/cli/cloud_artifacts.go, sorush cloud artifacts— and every other 0.2.39 entry below — is present in the binary users download.
