Good evening, it's August 6th, and this is Agent Of Empires Daily.
The signal today is consolidation: two features that quietly forked into parallel implementations just got merged back into one, and both changes carry real developer impact.
First, the command surface. PR 3208, from Jerome Benoit, removes "aoe acp ps" entirely in favor of "aoe ps with the acp flag." This isn't just a rename — it's a breaking change. The old command becomes a hard trap that exits non-zero and points you to the replacement. If you have scripts depending on "aoe acp ps,"…
Second, environment forwarding. PR 3266, from Nathan Brake, fixes a bug where structured-view agents still launched with a cleared environment, missing things like the display variable, even after a similar fix landed for tmux sessions back in PR 3079. The root cause: two independent code paths for session…
Both fixes share a lesson: duplicated logic — whether it's a second command or a second environment path — eventually diverges and causes real bugs or maintenance debt.
