v3.47.0 (2023-05-25)

Full Changelog

Two new and very noteworthy experiments!

1. Have you ever wanted to write hooks in a compiled language? Or in Python or Ruby? Well now you can! With --experiment=polyglot-hooks the agent can run all sorts of hooks and plugins directly. Combined with --experiment=job-api, your hooks-of-a-different-language can alter environment variables through the local Job API!
2. Concurrency groups are great, but have you ever wanted to manage multiple agents running on the same host concurrently accessing a shared resource? Well now you can! With --experiment=agent-api, the agent now has an inbuilt locking service, accessible through new lock subcommands and also via a Unix socket (like the job-api).

Added
