What's Changed

Added

• server epp shows or sets the CPU energy/performance preference. The setting persists across reboots and reports the values available on the server.

• s9pk pack packs the package's README.md. It sits beside instructions.md in the archive and is readable with S9pk::readme(). The point is what runs on the server: an AI assistant administering a service can now read the package's technical reference from the installed .s9pk — offline, and describing the version actually installed — instead of fetching a repository's default branch, which has usually moved on. Unlike instructions.md it is optional, so a package without one still builds; it is simply absent from the archive and the accessor returns None. Nothing is packed for an s9pk built before this, and v1 packages migrated forward carry no README either.

• An s9pk command says when start-cli is behind the published release. It compares itself against the start-cli version named by the workspace's start-technologies checkout and prints a one-line notice. start-cli installs outside the workspace, so nothing else would have told you: on Debian apt upgrade carries it forward, and everywhere else re-running the installer is the only update path.

Changed

• server governor replaces server experimental governor. Scripts that set or inspect the CPU governor need to use the direct server subcommand.

• server set-hostname takes one required hostname, and setup execute no longer takes --name. A StartOS server carries a single name — its .local hostname — where it used to carry a separate display label as well. Setting it moves the address the server answers to. A provisioning script that passes --name to setup execute, or a name and a hostname to server set-hostname, needs updating. server set-hostname and setup execute --hostname also reject a name longer than 32 characters, or one starting or ending with a hyphen, which 1.1.0 accepted.

• s9pk init-workspace clones the monorepo's live-docs branch rather than master, so a workspace's packaging guide, package template, and SDK source describe the @start9labs/start-sdk its packages install, and match the pages on docs.start9.com. An existing workspace moves over with git -C start-technologies checkout live-docs.

Fixed

• s9pk init-workspace no longer scaffolds a placeholder host — dev-vm.local resolved nowhere, failing every command in a fresh workspace; comment it out in an existing one.

• registry os asset remove can be run. Its iso/img/squashfs handlers were registered as RPC-only, and — unlike add, sign, and get, which each pair their RPC handlers with a CLI counterpart — nothing was registered in their place. remove was left parsing as a leaf that accepts no arguments: it listed under registry os asset --help with a blank description, and naming an asset type came back unexpected argument 'iso' found with exit 2. The three subcommands now take <VERSION> <PLATFORM> and reach the registry directly, mirroring registry os asset get, so a single platform's asset can be dropped without removing the whole version and re-adding every other platform. Asking to remove a platform the version has no asset for now says so instead of reporting success.

• The local authcookie now reaches a registry or tunnel daemon that listens on a non-loopback address. Run on the server itself, the CLI presents the daemon's local authcookie as an Authorization: Bearer header — but it attached that header only when the URL was literally loopback. With no --registry/--tunnel the CLI derives the URL from the daemon's own registry-listen/tunnel-listen, which is commonly the wildcard 0.0.0.0:5959; that is not loopback, so the request went out unauthenticated and came back Unauthorized. start-cli registry admin list on the registry host failed this way. A wildcard listen address is now dialled over loopback — binding every interface is not a destination — and an address derived from the daemon's own listen configuration counts as naming this machine, so the token is attached. An explicit --registry/--tunnel target is unchanged: the token still goes only to a loopback URL.
