# Hacker Bob v1.2.2 Release Notes

## Highlights

`v1.2.2` is a patch release that stamps the Bob package version into telemetry so `/bob-debug` can distinguish target behavior from mixed-install drift.

## Telemetry and debug

- MCP tool telemetry rows now include `bob_version`.
- Hunter run telemetry rows now include `bob_version`.
- Pipeline analytics events now include `bob_version`.
- Telemetry summaries now expose `observed_bob_versions` so a debug pass can quickly spot sessions produced by more than one Bob build.
- The Bob debug skill now records the version fields in its session summary and calls out multi-version sessions before deeper diagnosis.
- The canonical npm package no longer includes ignored local install metadata such as `.claude/bob/VERSION`, `.claude/bob/install.json`, or `.claude/bob/egress-profiles.json`.

## Compatibility

This release only adds metadata fields to telemetry/debug surfaces. Existing session files, MCP tools, prompts, and adapter install paths remain compatible.

## Install

```bash
npx -y hacker-bob@1.2.2 install /path/to/your/project
```

After installing, fully restart your host CLI (Claude Code or Codex) in that project, then run `/bob-hunt target.com` (Claude) or `$bob-hunt target.com` (Codex).

## Verification

- `npm run test:mcp` passes.
- `npm run test:prompts` passes.
- `npm run release:check` passes.
- `npm test` passes.
