Minor Changes
- a3a08d5: Improve top-level help discoverability and surface the web catalog.
releases --help(andreleases help) now list every command —lookup,collection,auth,whoami,completion,skills, and more — instead of the curated seven. Barereleasesstill shows the friendly quick-start.- The landing screen now shows the web catalog (
https://releases.sh) in its header, and the full--helplisting carries it too. - Removed the
Exit codes: see README.md#exit-codesfooter line from the landing screen. - The curated landing now labels the command
tail(matching the "most common commands" block) instead of itslatestalias. - The first-run completion hint no longer nags when completions are already installed by the package manager (e.g. Homebrew generates them at install time). Documented that Homebrew installs completions automatically while npm / shell-installer / binary users run
releases completion installonce. - The landing screen and
--helpnow show a persistent, self-resolving notice when shell completion isn't set up (e.g. for npm / binary installs) —Shell completion isn't set up — run "releases completion install <shell>". It disappears automatically once completions are detected (user- or package-manager-installed), is TTY-gated so it never pollutes piped output, and respectsRELEASES_NO_COMPLETION_HINT. - Updated the product tagline from "Changelog indexer and registry for AI agents and developers" to "The changelog & release-notes registry for developers and AI agents" across the CLI landing,
--help, package descriptions, the Homebrew formula, and the README.
