v0.2.9 (CLI Release)

• Date: April 29, 2026
• Focus: hooks installation

Changes:

• New command pulse install-hooks - Installs Claude Code hooks without changing trace URL/config
  • Validates pulse config exists and has valid values (api_url, api_key, project_id)
  • Prompts to run pulse connect if config is missing or incomplete
  • Installs hooks for all detected tools (Claude Code, OpenCode, OpenClaw)
• Hook detection now checks both settings files:
  • Primary: .claude/settings.json
  • Override: .claude/settings.local.json (preferred if exists)
  • Fixes issues on systems where Claude writes to settings.local.json
• Refactored shared hook installation logic from connect.rs to new install_hooks.rs module
  • Both pulse connect and pulse setup now use the same install_hooks() function
  • Eliminated ~70 lines of duplicated code

Usage:

# Install hooks without changing config (new)
pulse install-hooks

# Connect and install hooks (existing, unchanged)
pulse connect

# Setup and install hooks (existing, unchanged)
pulse setup
