Summary

After merge, the audit, make upgrade and make install-<tool> cover two more coding agents: the pi coding agent (pi) and the Google Jules CLI (jules). make uninstall-<tool> removes an npm global package by the package that owns the binary, so make uninstall-pi removes @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent instead of calling npm uninstall -g pi. herdr and the Google Gemini CLI were already in the catalog.

  • pi is installed from npm as @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent. The earlier @mariozechner/pi-coding-agent is deprecated on npm ("please use @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent instead going forward") and stops at 0.73.1, while the current package is at 0.87.0. The upstream version comes from GitHub earendil-works/pi, as for the other npm agents with a github_repo. pi --help offers no completion command. pi 0.87.0 requires Node.js >= 22.19.
  • jules is @google/jules, the CLI for Google's asynchronous coding agent. Its version comes from jules version (--version is rejected). The npm repository field points to an awesome list rather than source, so the upstream version comes from npm. jules completion bash registers jules and is declared.
  • npm uninstall (scripts/lib/reconcile.sh): the npm handler of remove_installation ran npm uninstall -g <tool>. For pi that leaves the agent installed and names the unrelated npm package pi. The handler now reads the package from the binary's symlink into node_modules (@scope/name or name) and falls back to the tool name outside node_modules. It resolves one link level only, because npm link and npm install -g <folder> make the package directory a symlink too. It takes the package after the first node_modules, so a bundled dependency cannot stand in for the owner. Other npm prefixes and pnpm installs still do not reach this handler: make uninstall leaves npm global packages outside nvm/Homebrew prefixes #153.
  • The catalog count in AGENTS.md, scripts/AGENTS.md, README.md, docs/INDEX.md, docs/CATALOG_GUIDE.md, docs/API_REFERENCE.md and catalog/README.md now states the 107 files present; it said 97, 98 or 103. The dated version-history line in docs/INDEX.md stays unchanged.
  • catalog/COVERAGE.md lists all 107 entries by install_method, counted from catalog/*.json; the old section listed 72 tools. The completion section counts herdr, which declared bash_completion without a doc entry: 42 entries, 41 command, 1 source_path. It names the five entries that its completion audit did not cover (blesh, bw, bwrap, byobu, trustmux).

Type of change

  • New feature (feat:)

Test plan

  • uv run pytest tests/ --ignore=tests/integration: 867 passed, 1 skipped
  • tests/test_npm_uninstall.py (5 cases, PATH isolated from the host): with the npm fix reverted, the scoped (pi) and unscoped (tsctypescript) cases fail. readlink -f fails the linked-package case, the longest node_modules match fails the nested-dependency case, ignoring the passed path fails four cases
  • The handler against the real pi install on this machine, with npm stubbed: npm uninstall -g @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent
  • uv run pytest tests/integration: 10 passed
  • ./scripts/test_smoke.sh, tests/test_guide_multi_install.sh, tests/test_reconcile_dryrun.sh: exit 0
  • CLI_AUDIT_COLLECT=1 audit.py pi jules on a machine with pi installed: pi installed 0.85.1, latest 0.87.0 (GitHub), OUTDATED; jules not installed, latest 0.1.42 (npm)
  • Version commands checked against the real binaries: pi --version prints 0.85.1; jules version (via npx @google/jules@0.1.42) prints Version: v0.1.42
  • Not run: an actual make install-jules / make upgrade-pi, to leave the machine unchanged; both use the npm_global installer that already serves gemini and codex

pi: installed from npm as @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent. The earlier
@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent package is deprecated on npm ("please use
@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent instead going forward") and stops at
0.73.1. Upstream version from GitHub earendil-works/pi (v0.87.0), like
the other npm agents that carry a github_repo. `pi --help` offers no
completion command.

jules: @google/jules, the CLI for Google's asynchronous coding agent.
The version comes from `jules version` ("Version: v0.1.42"; `--version`
is rejected). No public source repository (the npm repository field
points to an awesome list), so the upstream version comes from npm.
`jules completion bash` registers `jules` and is declared.

herdr and the Google Gemini CLI were already in the catalog.

Also updates the catalog count in AGENTS.md, scripts/AGENTS.md,
README.md and docs/INDEX.md to the 107 files now present (they said 97
or 98 while 105 were present), the completion lists in COVERAGE.md,
and docs/TOOL_ECOSYSTEM.md.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The catalog adds definitions for the Jules and pi command-line tools. The definitions include npm installation, Node.js requirements, version detection, upgrade metadata, usage notes, and Bash completion where applicable. Coverage and tool ecosystem documentation now include Jules and pi. Catalog counts were updated to 107 across architecture, README, documentation index, and script guidance.

remove_installation ran `npm uninstall -g <tool>`. For pi, installed as
@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent, `make uninstall-pi` therefore left the
agent in place and named an unrelated npm package `pi`. The npm handler
now reads the package from the binary's symlink into node_modules and
falls back to the tool name only outside node_modules.

COVERAGE.md lists the install methods of all 107 entries, with the
dedicated_script and auto routing as the installers implement it. The
completion section counts herdr (42 entries, 41 command). pi 0.87.0
requires Node.js >= 22.19. The remaining catalog counts in
CATALOG_GUIDE.md, API_REFERENCE.md and catalog/README.md state 107.

`npm link` and `npm install -g <folder>` make the package directory a
symlink too. readlink -f resolved past node_modules, and the handler fell
back to `npm uninstall -g pi`. The handler now resolves only the bin link
and takes the package after the first node_modules, so a bundled
dependency cannot stand in for the owning package.

The tests run with a PATH that holds only the npm stub and the system
directories, so they do not depend on tools installed on the host.
COVERAGE.md names the entries its completion audit did not cover and
the entries checked after the sweep.
