The shared file devp skill --agent aider owns a marked block inside. Aider is the
one target that does not read its file on its own: CONVENTIONS.md is loaded only
by aider --read CONVENTIONS.md or a read: CONVENTIONS.md line in
.aider.conf.yml, which is why writing it prints that instruction.
Whether the installed version is pinned where it is. Off by default, and the only
setting that outranks every other update path – see Settings::version_lock.
Environment variable that keeps the process off the network entirely — the release
check and the extension-download fallback alike. Set by the test suites, useful on
air-gapped machines; the durable per-user switch is
devp config set update_check false.
The Homebrew tap that carries the formula, as brew tap takes it. Not homebrew-core:
plain brew install dev-prune resolves there, and that has a notability bar this
project has not cleared. See docs/DISTRIBUTION.md.
Minimum supported Rust version, derived dynamically from rust-version in
Cargo.toml — which is the single source of truth for the MSRV. Only cargo install users ever meet it; every other channel ships a prebuilt binary.
Shown while devp trust and the configurator ask the OS about the scheduler and
Git hooks, then overwritten in place. Kept here because its width is what the
erase writes over, so the two must not be able to drift apart.
Marker file (in the config directory) recording that this machine’s Task Scheduler
refused the hidden (S4U) task registration, so setup keeps the visible task instead
of retrying the upgrade on every pass.
Threads per reported core for the status scan. Above one because the scan waits on
the disk far more than on the CPU; well below what the disk will queue, because past
that point the extra threads only take turns.
Default timeout for the release check. Short on purpose — this is a convenience,
and a user waiting on a hung socket is worse than not knowing. Override with
devp config set update_check_timeout_secs when a proxy needs longer.
File name of the windowless scheduler binary — dev-prune.exe with its PE subsystem
set to GUI, the same relationship pythonw.exe has to python.exe. Generated
locally beside the managed binary; never shipped in any archive.
The WinGet package identifier, as published in packaging/winget/ and in the
manifests submitted to microsoft/winget-pkgs. devp update and devp uninstall name
it back to the user, so a typo here sends someone to a command that does not resolve.
The shared file devp skill --agent zed owns a marked block inside. Zed reads
.rules ahead of every other convention, so a repository that also has an
AGENTS.md still needs this one.
