Problem
brew install q00/tap/ouroboros-ai installs 0.51.1 (tapped 2026-08-11) while PyPI is at 0.52.0. Nothing bumps the formula, so brew users have missed every release since: 0.51.2 through 0.51.17, and now 0.52.0.
release.yml has four jobs — release, build-tui, attach-tui-binaries, publish — and none of them touch the tap. There is no brew/formula/tap reference anywhere in .github/workflows/ or scripts/.
The formula is not just old — it is a different build
The formula vendors its dependency graph as resource blocks, and that graph was generated without extras:
| extra |
pyproject.toml |
formula |
mcp |
mcp==2.0.0 |
present |
tui |
textual, textual-serve |
missing |
claude |
claude-agent-sdk, anthropic |
missing |
litellm |
litellm |
missing |
So a brew user cannot run the settings GUI (ooo config needs [tui]) and cannot select the Claude SDK runtime. #2307 made ouroboros-ai[mcp,tui] the installer default, which widens the gap further.
Installs also diverge in setup, not only in contents: the formula's def install is virtualenv_install_with_resources and nothing else, so the Claude plugin registration, MCP configuration, telemetry ref stamp, and first-run ooo config that install.sh performs are all absent.
Also found
brew audit --online fails on the formula as it stands today: PyYAML needs depends_on "libyaml". Pre-existing at 0.51.1 — audit appears never to have been run.q00/oouro-dev is a stale local tap holding a duplicate formula. Its remote (Q00/homebrew-oouro-dev) returns 404 and it tracks no files. It makes brew info ouroboros-ai fail with "Formulae found in multiple taps". Local-only, so it needs no repo change — brew untap q00/oouro-dev.
Proposal
Bump the formula from release.yml after the PyPI publish, regenerating resources for [mcp,tui] so brew and install.sh stay on one profile. Verify (audit, install --build-from-source, test) before pushing to the tap, and fail the job when the tap token is missing rather than skipping quietly.
