yaak — changelog

0.1.5 June 21, 2026 Latest

Changed

› Hardened destructive-command detection — sudo, doas, and pkexec prefixes (including flags like -u root, -E, --preserve-env) and env VAR=val wrappers are now stripped before matching destructive patterns (rm, dd, mkfs, …)
› Privilege-escalation commands (sudo/doas/pkexec) now trigger a dedicated warning and confirmation prompt; the system prompt allows sudo when genuinely needed (package installs, systemd, privileged ports) instead of forbidding it outright
› Updated the default Gemma model reference in the setup wizard from gemma3:4b to gemma4:e2b

Added

› sudo_warning and sudo_confirm translations across all 8 locales
› Examples page and recorded VHS demos on the landing site
› --shell-init <SHELL> shell integration (bash/zsh/fish): records the command

Added

› AUR, Nix, and Scoop package definitions for broader package manager support
› Blog generated from markdown sources
› Shell alias wizard step to create y → yaak shortcut for faster invocation
