by landfalls-ai

landfall CLI

Join a Landfall war room from your own computer and have your favorite MCP-capable agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, …) become a live investigator in the shared room: its findings land on the incident timeline in realtime, and it pulls everyone else's discoveries between tasks.

Installation

brew tap landfalls-ai/landfall
brew install landfall

Or without Homebrew, download a prebuilt binary from the releases page — no toolchain required, not even Go. Pick the archive matching your platform (darwin/linux × amd64/arm64; Windows is not supported yet), extract it, and put landfall on your PATH (this intentionally does not pin a version — a hardcoded one goes stale on every release with nothing to catch it, which is exactly what happened to the v0.1.0 this used to say):

curl -LO https://github.com/landfalls-ai/landfall-cli/releases/latest/download/landfall-cli_<os>_<arch>.tar.gz
tar xzf landfall-cli_<os>_<arch>.tar.gz
sudo mv landfall /usr/local/bin/

landfall install: auto-register every coding agent on your machine

Once the landfall CLI itself is installed, one command detects which supported coding agents are on this machine and wires each one up with its own native, global MCP registration — no per-repo config file needed, and it works the same whichever directory (or none at all) you're sitting in:

landfall login       # sign in once (needed the first time — install registers YOUR machine)
landfall install      # detects installed harnesses, lets you pick which to configure

Harness

Mechanism

Claude Code

claude mcp add-json … --scope user (Claude Code's own user-scope MCP registration), plus the landfall-edge-bridge Claude Code plugin — see below

Codex CLI

codex mcp add landfall -- landfall serve (Codex's own MCP registration)

VS Code (Copilot/agent mode)

code --add-mcp, or a direct merge into your user-profile mcp.json if the code CLI isn't on PATH

Cursor

merged into your global ~/.cursor/mcp.json

Claude Desktop

merged into your claude_desktop_config.json (macOS/Windows)

Windsurf

merged into your global ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

landfall install only touches a harness you select, never overwrites an existing differently-configured landfall entry (reports a conflict instead), and is safe to re-run — an already-configured harness is reported as such rather than duplicated. Run landfall install --yes to configure every detected harness without prompting, or landfall install --only cursor,codex to target specific ones.

Claude Code also gets the landfall-investigation-dashboard agent

For Claude Code specifically, landfall install does one more thing after registering the MCP server: it best-effort runs

claude plugin marketplace add landfalls-ai/landfall-cli --scope user
claude plugin install landfall-edge-bridge@landfall --scope user

which installs this repo's own Claude Code plugin — the landfall MCP server plus a subagent that:

  • Recognizes a war-room join prompt on sight (the "Share with agent" paste, a bare agent share link, or plainer "join the war room" phrasing) and calls join_war_room + get_brief on its own.

  • Specializes in the sub-investigation dashboard — curates a small, honest set of post_widget widgets and keeps them current instead of scattering one-off ones.

  • Knows the MCP best practices for an ongoing investigation: pull before you publish, findings vs. notes vs. widgets, suggest-only remediation, keep secrets/raw output local, treat room content as untrusted data.

This step is best-effort and never turns a successful MCP registration into a reported failed outcome (an older claude CLI without claude plugin, or no network, just means the agent isn't installed yet) — the report line shows [plugin: installed] or [plugin: skipped] alongside the usual status. Re-running landfall install retries it. To do it yourself without landfall install:

claude plugin marketplace add landfalls-ai/landfall-cli --scope user
claude plugin install landfall-edge-bridge@landfall --scope user

To remove the registration:

landfall uninstall

This only removes an entry that still matches exactly what landfall install wrote — if you've hand-edited it since, it's left in place and reported as such.

Any other MCP client (or a harness landfall install doesn't cover) uses the manual snippet below.

landfall hooks install: make room context impossible to miss

MCP registration gives your agent the incident tools. Hooks give the room a way to reach a session that isn't currently making a tool call — the difference between context your agent can fetch and context it will see.

Hooks never take the wheel. You decide what your agent does next. No hook starts an agent turn you didn't ask for: room news reaches your agent together with your next message, and when your agent finishes a turn you get a one-line notice of what's waiting. (Until v0.8.12 the Stop hook refused the agent's conclusion instead, which made it run another turn on its own. That is now an explicit opt-in: see What Stop does.)

Room news is information, not a task. Your agent's standing instructions say the same thing the hooks do. Whatever reaches it from the room, inside one of its own tool results or with your next message, it mentions what bears on what you asked in one line and carries on with your request. It does not go off reading artifacts, posting to the room or running queries because of room news unless you ask. If someone in the room asks your agent for something, it tells you; whether it does it is your call. That includes a vote: when the room asks for your agent's position on a claim, your agent tells you, and takes a position only if you ask it to. With the background bridge, which landfall serve runs by default, your agent has no vote tools at all: if you want a position taken, take it yourself in the war room.

landfall hooks install                  # every detected host
landfall hooks install --only codex     # just one
landfall hooks install --dry-run        # report what would change, write nothing
landfall hooks uninstall                # remove only landfall's entries

Three hosts have a lifecycle-hook surface, and each gets what it supports:

Host

Config file

Registered

Claude Code

~/.claude/settings.json

Stop, FileChanged (watching room_events), UserPromptSubmit, PreToolUse (Bash only)

Codex CLI

~/.codex/hooks.json (+ codex_hooks = true in config.toml)

Stop, UserPromptSubmit, PreToolUse (Bash only)

Cursor

~/.cursor/hooks.json

stop

No sign-in needed — this edits local config, so it also works from a provisioning script. Every write is an append into the host's own hook list: your existing hooks are preserved, re-running is a no-op, and an entry you've hand-edited since is reported as a conflict rather than overwritten. hooks uninstall deletes only an entry landfall wrote — its current form, or one an earlier version wrote — and leaves Codex's codex_hooks flag alone: other hooks of yours may depend on it.

Cursor's entry carries --host cursor, because Cursor's hook contract is not the one Claude Code and Codex share. Those two read a Stop notice as a {"systemMessage": "..."} object on stdout (and an opted-in refusal as exit code 2 with the message on stderr); Cursor reads exactly one JSON object on stdout, and never sees an exit code or stderr at all. Upgrading from v0.2.0 rewrites the older bare landfall hooks stop entry in place — same position in your list, no duplicate.

Upgrading Codex from v0.8.12 or earlier: re-run landfall hooks install. It adds the new UserPromptSubmit entry next to your existing ones (no conflict, no duplicates); without it, a Codex agent only sees room news when it next calls a room tool.

What Stop does

Your agent finishes a turn. Meanwhile another investigator published the finding that changes the answer — the war room saw it, your agent did not, because an MCP session only learns things on a tool call it chose to make.

So on Stop, the hook asks the room daemon (and any landfall serve running in this workspace) whether room events newer than your cursor exist. If they do, you get one line from your host, and your agent stops exactly as it was going to:

Landfall: 2 updates in the room (1 finding from Maya · Codex, 1 message from Jhonny). They reach your agent with your next message.

Nothing is marked read. The updates stay queued, and the next message you send delivers them to your agent as context (the UserPromptSubmit hook below), before the model generates anything. If your agent calls a room tool first, it gets them there instead. Either way nothing arrives twice, and once they're delivered the notice goes quiet. If the room has quarantined something your agent relied on, the line says that too. With nothing new, the hook exits silently and immediately.

Host

What you see

What your agent sees

Claude Code

the line, as a hook message in the session

the updates with your next message

Codex CLI

the line, as a hook message in the session

the updates with your next message (needs the UserPromptSubmit entry: re-run landfall hooks install after upgrading)

Cursor

nothing (Cursor's stop can only answer by starting another agent turn)

the updates on its next room tool call

The old behaviour, opt-in only. Set LANDFALL_STOP_HOOK=block in the environment your agent host runs hooks with (export it in the shell you start claude or codex from), or change the registered command to landfall hooks stop --block. Then Stop refuses the conclusion while room context is unread ("Do not conclude yet — N update(s) ..."), your agent reads it and continues on its own, and whatever the refusal reported is marked consumed. You are never stuck: a second Stop on an unchanged room goes straight through, and a host that re-runs the hook after a refusal (stop_hook_active) is let through regardless. Any other value of LANDFALL_STOP_HOOK, or none, is the notice. landfall hooks install always writes the plain command; an entry you've changed to --block is reported as a hand-edited conflict on the next install and left exactly as you wrote it.

On Cursor, the opted-in refusal arrives by a different verb. Cursor's stop is a notification — it cannot refuse a conclusion — but it can hand back a followup_message, which Cursor submits as the next user message and which continues the agent loop. Termination is just as bounded — what was reported is consumed, an interrupted or errored turn is left alone, and Cursor caps auto-followups at five per turn regardless.

What FileChanged + UserPromptSubmit do

Stop tells you when news is waiting. This pair is what hands it to your agent when it is idle — not calling tools, so the in-band block on a tool result can't reach it. (UserPromptSubmit runs on Claude Code and Codex; the FileChanged wake is Claude Code's alone, and Codex's UserPromptSubmit reads the live room directly.)

It takes two hook events, because no single one can do the job:

  • FileChanged can watch, but not speak. landfall serve appends a marker line to .landfall/room_events the moment its queue goes from empty to non-empty, and the watcher fires — but Claude Code discards this event's output entirely. So the wake stages the digest and prints a one-line nudge to your terminal. It deliberately consumes nothing.

  • UserPromptSubmit can speak, but never learns the room changed. It fires on every message you send, so it picks up the staged digest and hands it to the session as additionalContext — before the model generates anything.

The honest limit: nothing can wake a genuinely idle Claude Code session with zero human action, because nothing server-side can push into one. The earliest moment an idle session can act on room context is your next message, and that is exactly when this delivers it — no action beyond what you were already about to do.

The cursor only advances once the digest has actually been handed over, so context is never consumed by a hook that could not deliver it.

A status change in the digest carries what the person wrote with it (resolved: Origin rollback complete; 5xx back to baseline.), not just the event's type. Through v0.8.13 a resolve note was dropped and the line read as a bare status.changed.

The marker is a doorbell, not a mailbox: it carries a timestamp, a pid and a count, never a finding, a name or an incident id. The digest itself is staged next to the sockets outside your repo (0600), so nothing from the war room lands in a directory that gets grepped, backed up and occasionally committed. .landfall/ ignores itself (it contains a .gitignore of *) rather than us editing a .gitignore you own.

How a hook reaches a serve process. A hook is a separate, short-lived process and cannot see landfall serve's memory, so serve binds a local query socket at $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/landfall/<workspace-hash>/<pid>.sock (macOS: ~/.local/state/landfall/run/…; Windows: a per-user named pipe). No new daemon — it is the serve process you already run, made answerable. Two agent windows on one repo are two sockets with two cursors, and a hook unions them, so it can over-report a sibling window's context but never miss your own. Nothing else on your machine is listening: see Guarantees.

landfall hooks policy: what your machine may report, in writing

The PreToolUse hook can offer to open a war room when you start poking at production. It reports a classification — never your command line — and only after you say yes.

It does nothing until you write a policy file. There is no default allow-list and no heuristic: a command is only ever recognized because you wrote a rule that recognizes it.

landfall hooks policy --init     # write a starter ~/.config/landfall/prod-policy.json
landfall hooks policy            # print every rule AND the exact payload it would send
{
  "version": 1,
  "rules": [
    {
      "id": "kubectl-prod",
      "description": "kubectl aimed at the production cluster",
      "command": "kubectl",
      "allOf": ["--context=prod-us-east-1"],
      "noneOf": ["--dry-run"],
      "category": "kubernetes",
      "entityHints": ["prod-us-east-1", "payments-api"]
    }
  ]
}

A rule matches when command equals the program name and every string in allOf appears literally in the command line (and none of noneOf does). allOf entries are text, not patterns — prod.* matches the characters prod.*.

The part worth checking for yourself: category and entityHints are the entire payload, and both are literals you typed above. Nothing is extracted from the command line — there is no parser that could pull a namespace, a hostname or a flag out of it. landfall hooks policy prints the resulting body per rule, so the complete set of values this machine can ever send is something you can read in one screen. category must be one of kubernetes, cloud, database, logs, deployment, network, other; hints must be bare identifiers (no whitespace, no shell metacharacters), which is checked when the file loads rather than when you are mid-incident.

On a match you get a one-key prompt on your terminal, and y is the only answer that sends anything. No terminal (CI, a detached session), no answer within 30 seconds, any other key, no cached session, an organization that hasn't enabled auto-attach — every one of those reports nothing. The hook always exits 0: it never blocks the command you were running. Commands that match no rule, and every tool that isn't a shell command, do nothing at all.

Your organization must also switch this on (it is off by default, admin-gated, server-side), so both ends have to agree before a single intent is accepted.

The room daemon: one room per machine, a cursor per reader

Since v0.8.0 landfall serve is a thin front end. The first time an agent on your machine joins a room, serve starts landfall daemon (detached, one per user) and attaches to it as a named reader; a second agent, a second window, or a helper your agent spawns attaches to the same room instead of joining it again. The daemon holds the room's live connection, one presence identity for the machine, and a separate reading position for every reader, including one for you, the person at the terminal. What your agent's helper reads is the helper's business; your status line and your prompt digest count what you have not been shown.

landfall status (the Claude Code status line) names the room the way the web app does, by its display id, 🔴 Acme 42 · 2 new · 1 vote awaited, or by its title (🔴 landfall: Checkout 5xx spike) when the server has not sent one. It never shows the incident's internal id. Until your agent has read the room's brief once, it says 🔴 landfall. 1 vote awaited counts the staged claims the room is asking your agent to take a position on. Through v0.8.13 the daemon's status line never showed it; only a fallback-mode serve did.

landfall rooms              # which rooms this machine has open, and who is reading each
landfall rooms --json
landfall daemon             # run it in the foreground (serve normally spawns it detached)
landfall daemon stop

The daemon exits by itself a minute after its last agent reader detaches. Its state (rooms with their tokens, readers and cursors) lives in <runtime dir>/daemon/state.json, mode 0600, where <runtime dir> is $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/landfall or ~/.local/state/landfall/run. A stop or a signal keeps that state so a restart rejoins; an idle exit forgets it. If the daemon cannot run (LANDFALL_DAEMON=0, or a runtime path too long to bind a socket), serve says so once and behaves exactly as before: one process, one cursor. Since v0.8.7 the hooks and landfall status read the daemon directly, as your own reader, in one call; a front end still binds the per-process socket an older binary's hooks look for, and a serve running without the daemon is still found through it.

The working-directory hold

Your agent must not share your code into the room unless you say so. At attach, serve tells the daemon what your working directory looks like: tracked file paths, recent commit hashes, the directory and package names. A share_with_room whose text names any of them is held in this checkout's queue instead of published; the agent is told so in the tool result, and landfall status shows · N held. Only you release it:

landfall held                 # what is held for this checkout's room, and what each one names
landfall allow-cwd            # let working-directory content into the room; releases everything held
landfall held drop <id>       # discard one

The allowance is per room and survives a daemon restart. There is no MCP tool for any of this.

A share the room refuses

share_with_room returns at once and publishes in the background, so the agent is told "shared" before the room has seen it. When the room then refuses it outright (a malformed widget, a claim for a room that has closed, a room this session may not write to), the hand-off is not retried: it is kept in this checkout's queue with the room's reason, and your agent's next room tool call opens with one line per refusal and what to do about it. Only a refusal that names something in the share (a missing statement, a widget that does not fit its shape) asks the agent to share it again, corrected; any other says sharing again gets the same answer, for example

Your earlier share did not reach the room: engagement is closed; admission is frozen (it began "the root cause is the rollback at 14:20").
It will not be retried. Sharing it again will get the same answer; tell the person.

and landfall status shows · N shares refused for an hour. A room that is only unreachable, slow, rate-limiting, failing on its own side, or so busy that a write lost a race with other writers (HTTP 409 "could not append … after retries") is different: those hand-offs stay queued and publish when it answers.

When the room session expires

The session a join starts lasts 8 hours, and this CLI cannot renew it. After that the room answers every share with HTTP 401. Nothing is lost and nothing is refused: the shares stay queued on this machine, landfall status shows · session expired, N shares waiting: rejoin with a new link, and your agent's next room tool result says so once (and share_with_room says "queued on this machine, not in the room yet" rather than "shared"). Rejoin the room the way you joined it (a new agent link from the room, or the incident URL if you are signed in with landfall login); the waiting shares go out on their own.

Configure the MCP server ONCE, with no tokens or IDs:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "landfall": { "command": "landfall", "args": ["serve"] }
  }
}

If you're a Landfall member, sign in once via your browser and the CLI caches your session — after that you join any war room in your org directly, no share link:

landfall login       # opens your browser; you sign in however your org normally does
landfall logout      # clear the cached session (and revoke it server-side)
# then, with a plain incident URL or LANDFALL_SLUG + LANDFALL_INCIDENT set:
landfall serve       # joins as your authenticated identity — no share link needed

The signed-in session renews itself silently in the background — no re-prompt, no flag to turn on. landfall login's 1-hour access token is exchanged for a fresh one automatically the moment it's needed, for as long as that stays valid (30 days, sliding). You only see the browser again if that itself expires, or is revoked — explicitly by landfall logout, or organization-wide by an admin's "revoke all sessions".

Non-members / guests keep using the single-use share link below. If an org admin has turned on Guest join, an unauthenticated person can redeem a share link as a named guest (they must provide a name); otherwise only authenticated members can join.

Then, when an incident happens, any room member clicks Share with agent in the war room and sends you the instruction block. Paste it into your agent — it contains a single-use share link like

https://api.landfall.example.com/o/acme/incidents/inc-4821/agent?ticket=…

and the agent calls join_war_room(shareUrl). The bridge redeems the ticket for a short-lived edge session scoped to exactly that incident (8h, nothing else), joins, and starts investigating. The URL's ticket is single-use and expires in 15 minutes; possessing the URL without it grants nothing.

You can also pre-join from the terminal:

landfall serve --link "https://…/agent?ticket=…"   # or LANDFALL_LINK env
landfall join  "https://…/agent?ticket=…"          # presence-only keep-alive

The live-investigation loop

  • You → the room: every tool call narrates (presence heartbeat + timeline contributions for durable artifacts). post_finding / propose_action appear in the main incident window instantly (realtime fan-out), attributed to you + your agent.

  • The room → you: while landfall serve runs it holds an outbound realtime connection; when other investigators (humans, the central agent crew, or other edge agents) publish something, you get a stderr nudge — ⚡ edge.finding from dana · Codex: "origin pool unhealthy" — call get_updates. Your agent gets it in-band: the next tool call it makes — any tool — comes back with the new context appended, so it cannot miss what the room found while it was busy elsewhere.

    Finding posted to the war room.
    
    ⚠ 1 update(s) from other investigators since your last tool call:
    #42 edge.finding [dana · Codex] — origin pool unhealthy

    The block is bounded: past a handful of events only the newest are spelled out and the rest are counted, with the get_updates sinceSeq=… that fetches them in full. Delivery advances the same durable cursor get_updates reads, so nothing arrives twice — and with the realtime connection unavailable the bridge still works exactly as before, on cursor pulls alone.

  • The room's scope → you: a human can pin what the investigation is about (a repo, an architecture component, a telemetry source, a time window, an artifact, a past incident), write standing instructions for the organization, and say what a run should focus on. All of it rides on the brief, so get_brief reads:

    Scope pinned to this room — read within it unless the person says otherwise:
      repo: landfalls-ai/landfall (pinned by Dana)
      component: checkout-api (pinned by Alex)
    
    Focus: did the 10:02 rollback do it? (asked by Dana)
    
    Organization instructions (version 4):
      Never page the on-call before 07:00.
      For checkout-api:
        Its cache is warmed by a cron at :05.

    Read-only on purpose. There is no tool to pin, unpin or steer: the server treats all three as human-only timeline events, because the room's scope is the people's call, not their agents'.

  • Your sub-investigation dashboard: post_widget {widgetType,title,data} adds a data-only widget (stat / chart / table / logView / timeline / geo / events / graph) to your dashboard in the room. A code finding card is not one of them: the room makes that card itself, and a codeFinding from an agent is refused in the same tool result. Anyone can click your presence tile to open your sub-investigation (your dashboard + trail). Data-only by design — you pass the values you computed; no code runs. With the background bridge the same widget rides share_with_room's widget argument. Either way the payload is checked on your machine against the room's shape for that type (required keys, no unknown keys, every t an ISO-8601 time, every v a finite number, at most 8 series of 5000 points) before anything is sent, and a mismatch comes back in the same tool result with what to fix:

    Nothing was shared: the "chart" widget does not match the shape the room renders.
    - chart.series[0].points[0].t must be an ISO-8601 time such as 2026-09-28T14:05:00Z (got "14:05")
    Fix these and share it again. describe_widget_types lists every type's shape.

    The room still checks every widget itself; if it refuses one this check passed, the refusal reaches your agent as described under "A share the room refuses".

Tools: join_war_room, get_updates, get_brief, read_timeline, search_context, post_finding, post_widget, note, upload_artifact, read_artifact, propose_action, record_activity, get_signal_catalog, query_signals (the incident's connected telemetry sources and a read against one of them, through Landfall's credential proxy).

get_signal_catalog answers as a short list rather than raw JSON: one line per source with its kinds and the connection and account to pass, then one line per operation with what it reads, its parameters in the source's own order, and how it takes a time window:

2 telemetry sources connected. Read one with query_signals {source, operation, params}.

cloudwatch · metrics, logs · connection "landfall-aws" (Production AWS)
  getMetricStatistics (metrics, range): CloudWatch GetMetricStatistics, a metric statistic series.
    params: Namespace (e.g. AWS/CloudFront), MetricName (e.g. 5xxErrorRate), StartTime (RFC3339 or epoch), ...
    window: StartTime to EndTime as iso, step Period

loki · logs
  logs.range (logs, range): LogQL range query.
    params: query (LogQL, e.g. {app="web"})

query_signals answers with a bounded summary, not the source's raw JSON. A log read is the event count, the time range and up to 40 lines as HH:MM:SSZ message (the first half and the last half when there are more). A metric read is each series' name, point count, min, max and last value, then its points within the same budget. Anything else shows its main list, one item per line. It always says when it trimmed and how to get more: a narrower time window or filter in params, maxLines (up to 200), or the next page's token when the source has one. A single line longer than 300 characters is cut to fit, and the answer says how many were cut and that raw: true has them in full (2 lines were cut at 300 characters; pass raw: true to read them in full.), so the end of a long message, often the part that matters, is never lost unseen.

cloudwatch filterLogEvents: 1,284 log events, 2026-09-28 14:02:11Z to 14:31:40Z, across 3 streams.

  ...

An MCP-server source answers in the MCP tool's own text, which is read through once more when it is JSON. mcp-grafana's query_loki_logs gets the same log view (and, for a LogQL metric query, the series view) from its own answer shape, which is not Loki's API; when it stopped at its limit with more left, the answer says so. Other MCP tools' JSON is read like any other answer: one of the views above when it has that shape, its main list when it does not.

raw: true returns the source's own response as JSON instead, capped at 64 KB, for the rare field the summary leaves out. Through v0.8.13 that JSON, indented and unbounded, was the only answer: one CloudWatch log-group read could put over 100 KB into your agent's context.

Guarantees

  • Read-only by default; propose_action is suggest-only: it records a suggestion, and a person applies it outside Landfall and records it as applied. Neither your agent nor Landfall makes the change. humanActorId comes from your verified session, never the payload.

  • An edge session token works ONLY on its one incident — default-deny everywhere else.

  • Join tickets are single-use, short-lived, and bound to tenant + incident + member.

  • No network listener. The bridge speaks MCP over stdio and opens the realtime connection outbound; there is no port, and nothing another host can reach. landfall serve does bind one local filesystem socket — 0600, inside a 0700 directory, readable by your user account alone — so lifecycle hooks can ask "what room events have I not seen?". It answers exactly three read/cursor operations (status, peek, consume) and offers no way to act in the war room: nothing that posts, proposes, or hands back your session token.

  • Presence/summary/sub-tabs are projected server-side from what the bridge posts; nothing here bypasses the war room's approval gate.

Releasing

See RELEASING.md.

Development

go build ./...
go test ./...

Go 1.24+, Cobra for the command tree and Viper for the persisted instance config. The binary builds from ./cmd/landfall; everything else lives under internal/. Releases are cross-compiled by goreleaser — see RELEASING.md.

landfall was a Node.js/ESM CLI through v0.5.0 and was rewritten in Go for v0.6.0 (1:1 behavioral parity — same commands, same flags, same exit codes, same stdout/stderr split). It ships as a single static binary now, so it no longer needs Node installed at all. The Node implementation (src/, test/, bin/landfall.mjs, package.json) was deleted in v0.6.2 once the Go port had shipped and been verified.

Comments throughout internal/ still cite that implementation by path and line (bin/landfall.mjs:487, src/hooks/stop.mjs, …) to explain why a behavior is the way it is — several are load-bearing quirks that would otherwise look like bugs. Those paths no longer exist at HEAD; read them against tag v0.5.0, the last Node release:

git show v0.5.0:bin/landfall.mjs
git show v0.5.0:src/hooks/stop.mjs
