v0.32.0 Release Recap
v0.32.0 is a non-breaking operations release that adds compact lifecycle manifest indexes for backup directories.
What's New
| Area | New in v0.32.0 | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Manifest index | contextdb snapshot lifecycle index --dir PATH --out PATH --report | Writes one portable JSON catalog for lifecycle backup bundles |
| Artifact hashes | Indexed artifacts include byte counts and SHA-256 hashes | Makes copied backup catalogs easier to audit |
| Retention context | Indexes include keep/pruneable decisions and delete-plan commands | Preserves the retention review beside the artifacts |
| Default path | Omitting --out writes contextdb-backups.index.json in --dir | Gives operators a predictable catalog name |
| Feature metadata | lifecycle-manifest-index | Lets live deployments advertise manifest-index support through introspection |
Compatibility
This release only adds a new lifecycle subcommand and feature metadata. Existing lifecycle reports, deletion plans, lifecycle verification, backup, restore, doctor, Norn, REST, GraphQL, and SDK behavior is unchanged.
