octoscope 0.27.0 the integrity scan stops describing a repo and starts noticing things about it.

Before this release the supply-chain scan could only talk in the present tense: here is what auto-executes right now, here is a commit tip that looks forged. Useful if you happen to scan while the implant is sitting there. Useless for the two questions you actually have when a worm is circulating did something change, and what could whoever got in reach?

The one where Skim stops impersonating a corpse.

A self-update could relaunch Skim into a window with a titlebar and nothing. Restarts didn't help. Reinstalling didn't help. Then, hours later, it just came back which is somehow more unsettling than staying broken.

Turns out nothing was broken. The whole UI was waiting on the first mailbox query, that query was politely queued behind the catch-up sync, and the app had no way to say "hang on, I'm reading" so it said nothing at all. For hours. In an empty window. Cool.

Fixed

Cloud World Model now has a streaming MCP server. Paste the URL into Cursor, Windsurf, or Claude Desktop and simulate AWS/GCP/Azure/OCI/DigitalOcean architectures, inject chaos, run RL training - no install, no API key required to start.
