venpm 0.4 Prep Notes

This page tracks the public-facing changes to verify before the 0.4 release is published.

CLI Surface

0.4 documentation covers the full current command surface:

• venpm inject and venpm uninject for native Discord patch management on macOS and Linux
• venpm kill-discord for stopping running Discord processes before rebuild or inject work
• venpm rebuild --restart and venpm rebuild --no-restart for explicit restart control
• --json-stream for NDJSON progress events in agent and CI workflows

For exact flags and exit codes, see the CLI Reference.

Custom Plugin Index

The default plugin repository is named kamaras. Use that alias with --from when needed:

venpm install channelTabs --from kamaras

The public showcase now tracks the installable plugins.json entries, including betterBlockIgnore and enrichedHeader. Shared _lib* packages are documented as transitive dependency modules, not end-user plugins.

Attribution

betterBlockIgnore is a fork of Vencord's stock NoBlockedMessages plugin. The showcase and plugin source headers credit Vencord, Vendicated and contributors, and the upstream plugin authors.

Pre-Check List

Before publishing 0.4:

1. Confirm package.json is bumped to the release version.
2. Run the docs quality check and VitePress build.
3. Run focused CLI tests for scaffold output and JSON/error docs.
4. Run the venpm ecosystem scrub before any public push.
5. Verify the published plugins.json asset matches the local plugin catalog.
