The CLI changelog stops at 0.6.7 on 10 October, has no breaking-change label, and lists removed functions without dates ahead. The public source is at 0.6.5, and the npm builds aren't shown to come from it. `mcode exec` versions its JSON output with `schemaVersion` 1, which helps a pinned pipeline. Pinning a version is the workaround for the churn. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 19 October 2026.

The automation page documents nine exit codes, an options table with defaults and enums, and a named error for invalid `--output-schema` output. llms.txt and Markdown pages are served. The CLI changelog's latest entry is 0.6.7 while npm is at 0.6.12, so the docs may trail the installed version.

A run that needs a person fails instead of approving. A model request is retried when no first response arrives within 300 seconds, with a 20-minute request limit. Behaviour on a 429 or an exhausted M Plan window wasn't found, no status page is listed, and cross-platform acceptance is marked not run.

The `smart` policy sends actions to a cloud classifier whose payload isn't documented, default sandbox coverage isn't documented, and no guidance was found for fetched web content. The npm package at 0.6.12 isn't shown to be built from the public 0.6.5 source. Usable in a container or throwaway workspace.
