# CLI 0.0.2

- Scaffolded conversions now accept a starter with local edits and untracked files. The clean-starter Git precheck has been removed.
- Copies current starter files without root or nested `.git` directories, including worktree/submodule `.git` pointer files. The original starter and its Git history remain untouched.
- Initializes an independent Git repository in the generated copy when configured. Existing generated repositories still require the normal resume/recovery workflow.
- Retains build-directory exclusions and does not follow symbolic links. Files excluded only by `.gitignore` are part of the filesystem snapshot: keep credentials and unwanted local files outside the starter.
- Includes the Ubuntu 26.04 shell installer correction from installer revision 2026-09-09.1.

No changes to license activation, metering, usage counters, or expiry. Update the CLI before rerunning your conversion; existing CLI 0.0.1 downloads remain unchanged.

Verification: CLI compilation, lint, build, and 102 automated CLI tests pass, including dirty-starter copying, Git-metadata exclusion, and preservation of the original starter. This is not certification of a complete licensed migration on every OS.
