# 0.20.0 — 2026-07-19 — "No More Stale Copies"

- **Changed**: **`kandown init` no longer copies `AGENT.md`/`AGENT_KANDOWN.md` into new projects** — both `kandown work` and the TUI's agent launcher (`a` key) now read the rules straight from the installed package's `templates/AGENT_KANDOWN.md` at call time, so there's no per-project snapshot left to go stale. Existing projects with an old copy are left untouched — nothing is auto-deleted.
- **Changed**: **The TUI's agent launcher now uses the same layered rules as `kandown work`** — base rules from the package, plus optional `~/.kandown/instructions.md` (global) and `.kandown/instructions.md` (project). Previously it read a project-local `AGENT_KANDOWN.md`/`AGENT.md` copy that could silently drift from what `kandown work` printed; the two entry points can no longer disagree.
- **Changed**: **`kandown init`'s injected `AGENTS.md`/`CLAUDE.md` line no longer promises a local fallback file** — dropped "if you can't run the CLI, read `.kandown/AGENT_KANDOWN.md` instead" since that file is no longer shipped and the scenario (an agent that can follow `AGENTS.md` but can't run a shell command) is effectively nonexistent.
