Changelog

1. 0.1.0

   First release.

   Resolution

   • Manages Node, Bun, Deno, pnpm and yarn per project, walking up from the working directory through .runtlyrc, .nvmrc, .node-version, .bun-version, .tool-versions and package.json.
   • Proximity wins: a nearby file of low priority beats a distant file of high priority, so a workspace member overrides its monorepo root.
   • engines.node ranges resolve against installed versions, highest match wins.
   • A declared constraint that cannot be satisfied is an error, never a silent fallback.
   • rt current names the file that decided the version.
   • The shim adds about 1.9 ms to a node invocation — the same cost as a do-nothing binary that only calls exec.

   Security

   • rt audit classifies every version as current, maintenance, eol-soon or eol, cross-references known vulnerabilities, and reports the smallest upgrade that clears every advisory.
   • Findings are ordered by whether the project has been committed to in the last 90 days.
   • rt audit --fail-on=critical exits non-zero, for CI and pre-commit hooks. --json prints the whole report.
   • Works offline against a 24-hour cache, and states how old its data is.
   • Data from endoflife.date, the Node.js Security Working Group database and OSV.dev.
   • rt scan finds projects under a directory and records what they run on.

   The app

   • A GUI and a CLI over one shared core, so the two cannot disagree.
   • A menu bar item for version switching without opening the window.
   • rt setup installs the shims and configures the shell; the app does the same from one press of Set up now.
   • rt doctor diagnoses PATH, shim integrity and cache staleness.

   Trust

   • Every download is verified against the publisher’s own SHA256 before it is unpacked.
   • Signed and notarized by Apple. Universal binary, Apple Silicon and Intel.
   • No account, no licence key, no telemetry, no analytics.
