# 0.33.3 — 2026-07-21 — "CLI Recovery"

- **Fixed**: **Default `kandown` Launch Regression** — restored the pre-split zero-setup startup flow where running `kandown` inside any project automatically initializes `.kandown/` when needed, refreshes the web bundle, starts the per-project daemon, and enters the normal board launch path.
- **Fixed**: **Global Flag Command Parsing** — repaired CLI dispatch so global flags such as `--no-update-check`, `--no-open`, `--path`, and `--port` no longer get mistaken for commands. This fixes the auto-updater restart path and the daemon spawn path that launches `--no-update-check daemon run` internally.
- **Fixed**: **Missing `init` Command After Modularization** — restored `kandown init` by adding the initializer module back to the source tree, copying the shipped HTML/config/agent templates, and creating project-root `tasks/` exactly as documented.
- **Fixed**: **One-Shot Task Commands** — restored the scriptable task command surface that had been partially lost during the split: `kandown list`, `show`, `create`/`new`, `move`, `assign`, `commit`, and `tasks`. JSON output and command-substitution output are clean again because decorative messages are emitted on stderr.
- **Fixed**: **Daemon Command Surface** — restored `kandown daemon start`, `status`, `restart`, `stop`, `run`, and `refresh-all` handling, including preferred port parsing for explicit daemon runs.
- **Fixed**: **TUI Command Entrypoints** — restored `kandown board` and `kandown settings`, and made the bundled `bin/tui.js` executable directly so the parent CLI can spawn the terminal interface reliably.
- **Fixed**: **MCP Stdout Contract** — restored `kandown mcp` dispatch while keeping stdout JSON-only, with initialization and status notices sent to stderr so MCP hosts and shell pipelines can parse responses safely.
- **Fixed**: **Unsafe Global Symlink Rewrites** — removed the daemon-side behavior that attempted to rewrite global `kandown` symlinks from a bundle-relative path. Package managers now remain the source of truth for the executable, preventing the web daemon from bricking the command.
- **Fixed**: **Project HTML Refresh Path Resolution** — refreshed `.kandown/kandown.html` from the resolved package root instead of an incorrect `import.meta.url` relative path, ensuring project web bundles are updated from the installed package.
- **Changed**: **Auto-Updater Global Install Targeting** — hardened the auto-updater to prefer the `npm`/`pnpm` executable living next to the active `kandown` binary. This prevents machines with multiple Node prefixes from updating a different global install than the command the user actually launched.
- **Added**: **Basic Import Recovery Command** — restored `kandown import <file.json>` for list-shaped JSON and Kandown export-shaped JSON, allowing task files to be recreated from exported data during CLI recovery workflows.
