Altium - the Altium Bridge

@@ -1,5 +1,9 @@ # Changelog +## 0.1.34 — 2026-09-01+- **The force-close guard now fires on INTENT, not on a blocked dialog.** 0.1.33 put it inside the blocked-by-dialog branch, so `altium_close {force:true}` sailed straight through whenever nothing happened to block — exactly the path that strands the seat. It is now checked at the top of the verb: `force:true` on a licensed instance is refused with `would_strand_licence_seat` unless `acceptSeatLoss:true`.+- **`altium_instances` applies the Develop licence rule too.** 0.1.33 fixed only `licence_state()`, so the instance list still reported Altium Designer Develop as unlicensed while its agent was running and importing.+ ## 0.1.33 — 2026-09-01 - **Three new skills, because AI reads verb hints and skills, not tribal memory** (John: *"ai hints are way more valuable to help the ai know how to navigate the stuff you didn't know how to"*):   - **altium-licensing** — one On-Demand seat serves EVERY Altium app (Designer and Designer Develop share it); killing an instance strands the seat and the licence page then reports it FREE while refusing every claim; the only recovery is a polite `altium_close` then `use_license`. Also: Develop writes NO licence tail in its title when it HOLDS the seat.
