Known issues
breakingIn v2.0+, the configuration file format changed from YAML with 'tasks' key to a flat structure. Old configs will cause 'KeyError'.
fix
Update config: remove 'tasks' wrapper; use 'commands' as top-level key if needed.
affects: >=2.0.0
gotchaThe tool requires GitHub API token environment variables (GITHUB_USERNAME and GITHUB_TOKEN) for many subcommands. Missing them will result in silent fallback to unauthenticated requests (rate limited).
fix
Set environment variables: export GITHUB_USERNAME='your-username' and GITHUB_TOKEN='your-token'
affects: >=2.0.0
deprecatedThe 'db-fix' subcommand was deprecated in v2.3.0 and will be removed in v3.0. Use 'db-fix-ng' instead.
fix
Replace 'db-fix' with 'db-fix-ng' in commands.
affects: >=2.3.0
