What changed
- Gameplay
- Fixes
- Server
- Store
- UI and audio
- Compatibility
New Commands
`grep` / `find` - search files for text (file first for tab completion)
`dir`, `cls`, `whoami`, `hostname`, `man` - quality of life aliases
Right-Click Context Menu
Right-click IPs, file paths, links, or highlighted text
IPs: Copy, SSH, Browse, Probe
Files: Copy, Cat, Edit, Download, Delete
"Add to Notes" on anything - appends to ~/notes.txt
Works across all panes
Terminal Polish
Coloured `ls` output: scripts green, configs purple, encrypted amber
Status bar: CPU, RAM, DISK coloured independently by usage
Large files won't freeze the game anymore
Help reference panel shows when editing any file
`help api` now shows all 38 functions
Browser page alignment fixed
Live Logs
Your actions now appear in server log files in real time
`cat /var/log/auth.log` to see your own footprint
Log management is now a real gameplay mechanic
Network Panel
Shows your actual IP address at the top (the game one, not yours)
Browser
`browse` with no argument shows a start page with bookmarks and recent servers
Shop and Jobs always listed
Back button returns to start page instead of closing
Shop messages show in the browser, not the terminal
API Updates
Clearer names: `get_trace_time()`, `get_noise()`, `get_my_ip()`
Old names still work as aliases
New: `write_file()`, `whoami()`, `get_hostname()`
`local_crack()` is now progressive like `crack()` instead of instant
`get_my_ip()` is now free
`file_type()` returns semantic types (text, script, image, archive, etc.)
String `.replace()` method
Shop
Every tool has its own product page with descriptions and reviews
Hardware pages explain what upgrades actually do
Discoverability
second_hand mentions the shop after your first mission
Getting started guide now covers the shop
Updated API reference docs
Editor Tools
Syntax highlighting for .bd files
VS Code, Notepad++, and Sublime Text
Download at blackdoor.tools/tools
Main Menu
What's New tab shows patch notes in-game
Save Compatibility
Existing saves automatically get new files (like getting_started.txt)
Your modified scripts and custom files are never overwritten
Heads Up
CPU usage tracking is more accurate now. If your scripts were running
near the limit, they might hit 100% and get killed. Add `sleep()`
calls between heavy API calls to manage CPU usage.
Bug Fixes
Fixed exploit where scripts could pause an active trace (thanks for the report!)
Fixed CPU display accuracy and decay
Fixed browser text clipping
Fixed incorrect help text for crack command
Fixed balance display lag after purchases
Ctrl+C now cancels the quit confirmation prompt
Faster game startup

Don't get used to this. Normal service resumes next patch: one bug fix and a new lunch order for Tim.
