<Summary type="rolling" window-days="90" release-count="4">
The CLI shifted toward expanded integration capabilities and improved operational tooling. Machine-readable output modes landed in the token create command, while new inference and agent features—including private-link subcommand support and an --inference flag for bearer tokens—extended the tool's reach into LiveKit's broader platform. Documentation browsing shipped via `lk docs` commands, and stdin request support plus non-interactive terminal handling made the CLI more automation-friendly.
</Summary>

<Summary type="monthly" period="March 2026" release-count="3">
Three releases in March advanced CLI tooling for LiveKit's expanding platform surface. Version 2.14.0 added stdin request support and introduced agent private-link management, while 2.15.0 shipped the `lk docs` command for in-CLI documentation search. Version 2.16.0 refined operational details—machine-friendly token output modes, improved Dockerfile build performance with multi-stage builds, and better error handling like showing available projects when selection fails.
</Summary>
