XFPM - Version G0.1.45-30326

This release introduces major stability enhancements to the storage engine and streamlines the update experience for better workflow continuity.

Core Engine Improvements

Seamless Update Workflow

The update mechanism has been re-engineered to prevent workflow interruptions.

• Task Continuation: When an update is accepted, XFPM now automatically re-executes the original command (e.g., add, install) using the updated binary. This eliminates the need to manually restart commands after a self-update.
• Process Replacement: On Unix-like systems, XFPM uses syscall.Exec to replace the current process image, ensuring an instantaneous transition to the new version.

CAS Storage Stability

Resolved a critical issue in the Content Addressable Storage (CAS) that could lead to zero-byte (empty) files.

• Anti-Self-Truncation: Implemented mandatory destination removal before linking or copying. This prevents the "inode truncation" bug where os.Create on a hardlink would empty the source CAS file.
• Surgical Force Extraction: Refined the force extraction logic to only remove specific package directories within the virtual store, preventing accidental deletion of shared or scoped parent directories.

CLI and UX Enhancements

Improved Scoped Package Handling

The CLI parser has been upgraded to correctly handle scoped NPM packages independently of version tags.

• Fixed parsing logic for arguments like @scope/package@version.
• Enhanced xfpm update <package> to correctly resolve and refresh targeted scoped dependencies.

Global Environment Support

• Universal CWD Flag: The -C / --cwd flag is now processed in the global pre-run phase, ensuring consistent behavior across all subcommands.
• PATH Injection: Automated injection of node_modules/.bin and XFPM global paths into the execution environment for xfpm run.
