VEKTOR Slipstream v1.7.6 — Preview Release

Early access build. Upgrade from v1.7.2 (stable) or v1.7.5 (preview) at any time.

Faraday — Independent Integrity Watchdog

New standalone background process, separate from any active Faraday MCP session, running continuously regardless of whether an AI session is open. Watches AI-assistant MCP config files across seven clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Cline, Roo Code, Groq Desktop) plus Faraday’s own core enforcement files. Closes the gap where a tampered gate file, or an injected rogue MCP server entry, would previously go undetected.

Faraday — Tamper-Evident Audit Log

Every gate event now carries a chained hash linking it to the previous event, the same principle git uses for commit history. Altering, deleting, or reordering a historical entry breaks every hash after it, detectably.

Faraday — Self-Preservation Expanded

Protected paths extended from Claude Desktop only to all seven client surfaces.

Faraday — Compromised Sessions Now Genuinely Lock

A session flagged COMPROMISED (self-preservation trigger or canary trip) now blocks every further consequential action until restart.

Bug Fixes

  • vektor hooks CLI command repaired (was missing its backing module entirely)
  • Faraday corpus auto-update now actually extracts the verified archive instead of silently falling back to the bundled copy
  • JOT flashcards copy button and collab-panel CSS fixed
  • Boot banner now reads the installed version at runtime instead of a stale hardcoded number
  • Packaging cleaned up — missing npm allowlist entries added, tarball size reduced
  • Cleared a long-standing display-glyph corruption pattern across 16 files in the SDK

Install:

npm install -g [email protected]
