Upgrading to 0.1.7 and 0.1.8

Install

pipx install --force https://canonopy.com/dl/canonopy-0.1.8-py3-none-any.whl
lw --version            # lw 0.1.8
lw licence activate <key>   # pulls the weights this version indexes

No retraining on your side and no change to the state feed. A 0.1.6 manifest ("vocabulary": "town-1") loads unchanged.

Works with no code change

• Missions are visible. POST /v1/command answers {"mission": "<id>"} when an order became a mission (the lease fields stay for plain orders). GET /v1/mind/<char> gains mission (id, goal, leg, legs, status, findings, ended_because) and schedule, and lw why <char> prints both. See Give orders §⁠5.
• World events have more classes. Hazards, opportunities and all-clears wake characters through the same perception door, shaped by persona. The event gate this version fetches reads them in your own words ("there's a tornado warning", "free food at the inn tonight", "the storm has passed"). The moves they plan with are town-2 verbs, so a character reacts when your manifest is town-2 and lists them (or when no manifest is loaded). A manifest's events section still wins for your own phrasings. See Broadcasts and world events §⁠4.
• A wrong told in a broadcast is held against whoever did it. A broadcast is hearsay: the offender is the party the line names, never the player unless it says "the newcomer" or "the player".
• Heavy lines the gate cannot read go to the unsure lane: your model is asked when LW_ESC_BACKEND is set, and the moment is captured either way. See When the brain is unsure.

Opt in

• Broadcasts. POST /v1/broadcast, lw broadcast, the MCP tool broadcast: one line to many characters. See Broadcasts and world events.
• The town-2 vocabulary. Five verbs a hazard or an offer plans with: shelter, warn-others, evacuate-to, hold-post, attend, each with a default body. Set "vocabulary": "town-2" and list the ones you use; run lw manifest check --executes ... to see which your game has no body for.
• Per-character needs and salience. Optional manifest fields, validated at load: unknown names are a load error that names them. See Manifest.

Things that behave differently

• The text reader is faster and smaller. The reader behind the gate, recall, orders and plans now runs on ONNX Runtime with 8-bit weights: about 570 MB instead of 2.6 GB in memory, and 20 to 40 ms a line on a laptop CPU instead of up to two seconds once the operating system has paged it out. It reads the same way as before (cosine 0.996 or better on every line measured), so nothing downstream changes. lw licence activate fetches it with the weights; with its files missing, lw dev falls back to the old reader by itself. A second, small reader (34 MB) reads each character's situation once per change for the reflexes. lw status and GET /v1/health report the reader's latency, its cache and whether it reloaded itself (it does, in the background, when it stays slow for a minute).
• New dependency: onnxruntime (and tokenizers), installed with the wheel.
• The broker no longer records the wire by default. Set LW_GOLDEN=1 to record (~/.lw_golden); recordings rotate every 50 MB and the folder is kept under 200 MB (LW_GOLDEN_FILE_MB, LW_GOLDEN_CAP_MB).
• Receipts are capped per day. Past 200 MB in a day (LW_RECEIPTS_DAY_MB) calm rows stop; past a quarter more, nothing more is written that day, and one row in the file says so.
• New error codes: LW1004 (a broadcast needs text), LW1005 (a bad to), LW7008 (nobody to hear it). See Error codes.
• New CLI commands: lw broadcast, lw manifest check, lw manifest export. See CLI.

The reflexes read more

The reflex student in this release reads, besides what it always read, the character's needs, whether a mission holds her day, her safety, and the meaning of her situation (what she heard, what she is doing, what she feels). A tick with none of these is answered by exactly the weights 0.1.6 used, byte for byte: nothing you tuned against changes. It ships as a new weights file, so a 0.1.6 install keeps its student.

Next: Broadcasts and world events.
