Changelog v1.8.0

Added

• In-Interface Self-Update Notification: When launching the interactive chat REPL (loki or loki chat), LOKI checks GitHub Releases in the background (with local 1-hour TTL caching) and renders a prominent update panel if a newer version is available, displaying the exact uv upgrade commands.
• Interactive /update Slash Command: Upgrade LOKI directly from inside the conversational QA chat session via uv tool upgrade loki-chaos-agent (or git reinstall fallback) without exiting the REPL.
• CLI Update Commands:
  • loki update: Check and execute upgrade via uv directly from terminal.
  • loki update --check: Check whether a newer release exists without modifying the installation.
  • loki version --check: Check GitHub releases and compare against the currently installed version.
• Autonomous Multi-Agent Operating System (.agents/ & AGENTS.md):
  • Comprehensive architectural constitution in root AGENTS.md specifying universal invariants, memory hierarchy, and tooling protocols.
  • Modularized rules under .agents/rules/ covering coding standards, git atomic cadence, language policies, and security/privacy scrubbing.
  • Declarative subagents under .agents/agents/ for chaos-tester, code-healer, qa-auditor, and persona-architect.
  • Progressive skills runbooks under .agents/skills/ for chaos operations, autonomous healing, and packaging/release workflows.
  • Cross-assistant bridges for Claude Code (CLAUDE.md) and GitHub Copilot (.github/copilot-instructions.md).

Fixed

• Fixed Windows terminal charmap codec crash (UnicodeEncodeError) during banner rendering by enforcing UTF-8 output stream reconfiguration with fallback character replacement.
