SeekLink v0.6.1

SeekLink v0.6.1

SeekLink v0.6.1 is a small daemon lifecycle and documentation release.

Highlights

• Added public daemon controls:
  • seeklink daemon status
  • seeklink daemon stop
  • seeklink daemon restart
  • seeklink daemon pid
• Added SEEKLINK_DAEMON_IDLE_TIMEOUT.
  • Default: 900 seconds / 15 minutes.
  • Set 0, off, false, or no to keep the warm daemon running until stopped.
• Added daemon visibility to seeklink doctor --json, including running state,
  PID, socket, vault, models, idle timeout, and best-effort resident memory.
• Clarified README, README.zh, and llms.txt so users and agents can understand
  why a local Python process may remain after search, how to inspect it, how
  to stop it, and how to bypass it with one-shot commands.

Why This Release Exists

SeekLink uses a local Unix-socket daemon as a warm model cache for repeated
searches. This is useful for latency, but in v0.6.0 it was not visible or
stoppable enough for users who noticed a resident Python process on macOS.
v0.6.1 keeps the warm-search path while making the daemon explicit, bounded, and
easy to release from memory.

Compatibility

• Search ranking and indexing behavior are unchanged.
• Existing one-shot controls still work:
  • seeklink search "query" --no-daemon
  • SEEKLINK_NO_DAEMON=1 seeklink search "query"
  • seeklink search "query" --vault PATH
• Existing seeklink daemon --vault PATH behavior remains available; the clearer
  spelling is now seeklink daemon run --vault PATH.

Verification

• uv run pytest -q
• git diff --check
• CLI smoke for daemon status, daemon restart, daemon pid, daemon stop,
  doctor --json, status --json, search --json, and get -C
• uv build
• uvx twine check dist/seeklink-0.6.1*
• Isolated wheel CLI smoke with uvx --from dist/seeklink-0.6.1-py3-none-any.whl
