Highlights
- Added per-phase Claude model assignments for SDD. Claude Code can now default to
opusfor orchestration and architecture,sonnetfor implementation-heavy phases, andhaikufor archive flows. - Improved startup self-update version handling with a safer BuildInfo fallback, so version resolution stays correct even when ldflags are missing or incomplete.
- Smoothed the upgrade UX by fixing spinner behavior and preventing stdin hangs on Windows.
Why this release matters
This release makes SDD much cheaper to run in Claude Code without giving up strong defaults, and it also tightens the update path across platforms.
