Yaowei Zheng d4faee3a1e Changelog, dev startup, README, AgentHub 0.4.0, model catalog, and landing site (#7)
Branch-length batch covering tooling, the model layer, the Web App and the public
surfaces. Highlights:

- Changelog: a per-release `changelog/<version>/` tree, grouped by the surface each
  change touches, with a root CHANGELOG.md holding one line per release.
- Dev startup: `scripts/dev-prebuild.mjs` serializes the skills+core prebuild behind a
  lock and keeps `pnpm install` current; `pnpm dev` runs server+web together.
- AgentHub 0.3.3 -> 0.4.0: OmniMessage complete payloads carry one opaque `fidelity`
  object in place of item-level `signature`/`phase`, threaded verbatim through Trace,
  replay and resume; malformed classification adapted to the new error types.
- Model layer: a model is always referenced by an explicit `(provider, model_id)` pair.
  The provider is never inferred, guessed or defaulted -- both the catalog inference and
  the unique-match config resolution are gone, and CLI, SDK, server routes and
  run_subagent all require the complete pair. Catalog gains the Qwen Token Plan, Qwen
  Pay-As-You-Go and Fireworks AI gateways, plus an expanded OpenRouter group.
- Web App: catalog preset sync and per-group speed test on the Models page, positional
  slash commands, a markdown renderer, skill-library update reminders, and a vertically
  centred draft page whose upward menus size themselves to the room available.
- Public surfaces: restructured READMEs, the penguin.ooo landing site and blog, refreshed
  benchmark results for both suites, and the demo videos playing on the landing page.

Includes the fixes from a full review of the branch: 23 confirmed findings, among them a
provider-inference bug that could send one vendor's API key to another vendor's endpoint,
and an Escape handler that destroyed the composer's contents unrecoverably.

Verified on the branch head: pnpm test (1127 passing, 7 packages), pnpm typecheck and
pnpm format:check clean, Playwright e2e 14/14.

title: Installation
description: Install PenguinHarness via the install script, npm, or from source.
---
## Requirements
- Linux / macOS (x64 or arm64): the install script ships platform tarballs with an official Node.js runtime bundled — no local Node needed.
- Other platforms, or installing via npm / from source: system Node.js >= 24.
## Script install (recommended)
On Linux / macOS:
```bash
curl -fsSL https://penguin.ooo/install.sh | sh
```
The script downloads the matching `penguin-{linux,darwin}-{x64,arm64}.tar.gz`, which bundles an official Node.js runtime. Other platforms do **not** fall back automatically: the script exits and asks you to install Node.js >= 24 and re-run with `--universal`, which selects the runtime-less `penguin-universal.tar.gz`.
Verify the install:
```bash
penguin -v
```
### Install location and options
| Item | Details |
| --- | --- |
| Install dir | `~/.penguin` by default; override with the `PENGUIN_INSTALL_DIR` env var |
| Command entry | A symlink `~/.local/bin/penguin` is created (the script warns if `~/.local/bin` is not on PATH) |
| Version pin | `PENGUIN_VERSION=vX.Y.Z` env var, or the `--version vX.Y.Z` script flag; defaults to the latest Release |
| Integrity check | Downloads are sha256-verified when the Release ships checksum assets |
| Upgrade | Re-run the install script; files are swapped atomically |
Script flags go after `sh -s --`, e.g. `curl -fsSL https://penguin.ooo/install.sh | sh -s -- --universal`.
### Data directory
The data directory defaults to `~/.penguin/data` — under the install home `~/.penguin`, but never modified by install or upgrade — and is overridable with the `PENGUIN_HOME` env var. Model configuration, Session records, and other data are preserved across upgrades.
## npm install
Requires system Node.js >= 24:
```bash
npm install -g @prismshadow/penguin-cli
```
The npm package is `@prismshadow/penguin-cli`; the installed command is `penguin`. Web UI assets ship inside the `@prismshadow/penguin-server` package, so this single install yields a working `penguin web`.
## From source
Requires Node.js >= 24 and pnpm:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Prism-Shadow/penguin-harness.git
cd penguin-harness
pnpm install && pnpm build
```
After the build, run `pnpm penguin <args>` inside the repo as the dev runner, or use the globally linked `penguin` command.
## Published npm packages
