Plain-language UX humanizer release. Default output of all 18 commands
now leads with prose; technical IDs surface at end-of-line as references
rather than headlines. Scanner internals are unchanged; humanization is
a pure output-time transform applied at the rendering layer.
Highlights:
- New scanner-lib modules: humanizer.mjs, humanizer-data.mjs (TRANSLATIONS
for 13 scanner prefixes)
- New --raw flag threaded through every CLI for byte-stable v5.0.0
verbatim output (--json unchanged from v5.0.0, also byte-stable)
- 5 user-impact categories, 5 action-language phrases, 3 relevance contexts
- Self-audit terminal output also humanized; --json path unchanged
- 21 command and agent templates updated for humanized rendering with
--raw passthrough
- 635 → 792 tests (+157) including SC-3 forbidden-words lint, SC-4
scenario read-test, SC-5/6/7 backwards-compat snapshots
Migration:
- Existing --json automation: zero changes required (envelope is
byte-stable with v5.0.0; humanizer fields are bypassed)
- stderr-scraping tooling: review default mode (now uses prose); pass
--raw for v5.0.0 verbatim
- No scanner-internal changes (IDs, severity ladders, scoring weights,
area scorecards all unchanged)
Verification:
- 792/792 tests pass
- self-audit configGrade A (97), pluginGrade A (100), readmeCheck passed
- README badge: tests-635+ → tests-792+
New read-only command that shows everything Claude Code actually loads for a
given repo — plugins, skills, MCP servers, hooks, CLAUDE.md cascade — with
source attribution (user/project/plugin) and rough token estimates. Helps
identify candidates for disabling without guessing.
Added:
- scanners/lib/active-config-reader.mjs — pure async helper: readActiveConfig,
detectGitRoot, walkClaudeMdCascade, readClaudeJsonProjectSlice (longest-prefix
matching for .claude.json projects), enumeratePlugins, enumerateSkills,
readActiveHooks, readActiveMcpServers, estimateTokens (markdown 4 c/tok,
json 3.5 c/tok, frontmatter cap 150 tokens, item flat 15)
- scanners/whats-active.mjs — thin CLI shim: --json, --output-file, --verbose,
--suggest-disables
- commands/whats-active.md — renders tables via Read tool; honors UX rules
- tests/lib/active-config-reader.test.mjs — 36 tests, all green (integration
fixture built in tmpdir with fake HOME, .claude.json prefix matching,
plugin discovery, hook/MCP merge from all scopes)
Verified:
- Performance budget: <2s wall-clock (smoke test: 102ms on real repo)
- Token estimates within ±20% of hand-computed values
- Read-only: no writeFile/mkdir/unlink in production code
- Self-audit: Plugin Health scanner reports 0 findings (Grade A)
- Full test suite: 522 tests, 512 pass (10 pre-existing conflict-detector
failures on main — unrelated to this change, reproducible on clean HEAD)
