Documentation-only patch release. Every fix below was checked against the built binary or the code.

CLI reference (docs/reference/cli.md)

  • A usage error prints the error, the command's usage line and a --help pointer, not the full usage text (lines 98, 956).
  • stoat help <command> is documented; the claim that help text accompanies every usage error is gone.
  • The exit-code table no longer lists down on a stopped VM as exit 1; it exits 0 (internal/cli/run_vm.go).
  • stoat ssh documents exit 1 when sshd does not answer within 3 seconds (internal/cli/run_access.go:123).

JSON reference (docs/reference/json.md)

  • not_found, cannot_reach and access_denied list the cases v0.7.0 added (internal/cli/wire/errors.go:156-179, internal/mcpsrv/tools_guest.go:611).
  • History records limit_reached, needed_mb and available_mb.

CHANGELOG / flake

  • New v0.7.1 entry, including corrections to two v0.7.0 lines (cannot_reach was not new; the hidden alias is --n, not -n).
  • flake.nix version 0.7.1.

#165 (Nix vendor hash for the bubbletea bump) should merge before this is tagged, or the flake build for v0.7.1 fails.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Clarified CLI help output, command-specific help, and exit-code behavior, including SSH timeout and already-stopped VM cases.
    • Expanded the JSON error-code reference with additional missing-resource, guest access, and SSH connectivity cases.
    • Updated the v0.7.0 history to document limit_reached, related error details, and the unchanged contract version.
    • Corrected earlier release-note details about cannot_reach and the stoat logs short option.

The CLI reference still described usage errors as printing the full
usage text, listed down-on-a-stopped-VM as exit 1, and omitted stoat
help <cmd> and the ssh booting exit. The JSON reference described
not_found, cannot_reach and access_denied by their pre-v0.7.0 cases and
had no History entry for limit_reached. The v0.7.1 CHANGELOG entry also
corrects two lines of the v0.7.0 notes.

Comment thread docs/reference/cli.md
`-q` is accepted but has no effect (there is no chatter to suppress before the process is replaced). `--json` is refused outright: `syscall.Exec` destroys the process image, so there is no "after" in which to write a result line; the error message points at `stoat --json exec <name> -- <cmd>` for a single command, or `ssh_port`/`ssh_user` from `stoat --json ls` to build your own connection.

**Exit codes:** 0 is not actually observed on success: the process image is gone. 1 if the VM can't be loaded, `ssh` isn't found on `$PATH`, or `exec` itself fails to launch. 2 under `--json`, always (see above).
**Exit codes:** 0 is not actually observed on success: the process image is gone. 1 if the VM can't be loaded, its sshd doesn't answer within 3 seconds (stoat prints `<name> is booting; run stoat wait <name>`), `ssh` isn't found on `$PATH`, or `exec` itself fails to launch. 2 under `--json`, always (see above).

Document the replacement ssh process’s exit status.

If syscall.Exec succeeds, ssh replaces Stoat and its exit status becomes the user-facing process status. Stoat returns its own failure status only when a pre-exec check fails or syscall.Exec returns an error.

NovusEdge stoat pull request 165 vendorHash 0.7.1 flake build

💡 Result:

**PR #165** is the automated “chore: update Nix vendor hash” pull request for `NovusEdge/stoat`. Its bot says the final Nix package build passed *before* the PR was created; the PR was open as of **October 3, 2026**. (GitHub pull request 165 in NovusEdge/stoat (link omitted to avoid creating a cross-reference))

The PR is mentioned by **PR #166**, titled “docs: fix v0.7.0 reference drift; prepare v0.7.1,” but the available PR #165 page doesn’t establish that #165 itself builds version **0.7.1** or show the exact `vendorHash` value.

NovusEdge/stoat PR 165 "vendorHash" flake.nix patch exact hash go.mod v0.7.1 build failure

💡 Result:

PR #165 changes only the `vendorHash` in `flake.nix`:

```nix
# old
sha256-I3cYDT3RCVqD87IYqGgaI0EwvLn5WpUPaHoC8c5PN48=

# new
sha256-FDNhtle3sILmi2ionRvWMwD+Fkbe2ZE4qsRdxrarUAY=
```

It’s an automated vendor-hash update; the bot says the final Nix package build passed before it opened the PR. The PR is open as of October 3, 2026. (GitHub pull request 165 in NovusEdge/stoat (link omitted to avoid creating a cross-reference))

The page links PR #166, titled “prepare v0.7.1,” but does **not** establish that #165’s hash change fixes a v0.7.1 build failure or show the relevant `go.mod` change. So the exact hash above is established for PR #165, but its relationship to a specific v0.7.1 failure remains unverified. (GitHub pull request 165 in NovusEdge/stoat (link omitted to avoid creating a cross-reference))

Citations:

- 1: GitHub pull request 165 in NovusEdge/stoat (link omitted to avoid creating a cross-reference)
- 2: GitHub pull request 165 in NovusEdge/stoat (link omitted to avoid creating a cross-reference)

Use PR #165’s vendor hash before tagging v0.7.1.

pkgs.buildGoModule still receives the previous hash. PR #165 replaces it with the updated hash and reports a successful Nix package build. Keeping the previous hash can make the flake package build fail.

🐛 Suggested fix
-            vendorHash = "sha256-I3cYDT3RCVqD87IYqGgaI0EwvLn5WpUPaHoC8c5PN48=";
+            vendorHash = "sha256-FDNhtle3sILmi2ionRvWMwD+Fkbe2ZE4qsRdxrarUAY=";
