Breaking changes
These are narrow cleanup breaks in behavior that was either temporary or never worked correctly. Most users should not need to change anything.
- Generated hook scripts no longer preserve
-q,-v, or--no-progresspassed toprek install. This only affects users who expected those global flags to be baked into installed hooks. (#1966) language_versionno longer accepts direct executable paths. Uselanguage_version: systemfor a system toolchain, or use a supported version request instead. This path form did not work reliably before, so existing working configs should be unaffected. (#1831)
