ECC 1.10.1 release announcement draft

ECC 1.10.1 is the follow-up stabilization release to 1.10.0.

This release is focused on install correctness, cross-surface naming clarity, Windows/PowerShell recovery, Cursor project install correctness, and Claude Code hook compatibility. It is not a feature-heavy release.

What landed in the stabilization pass

• npm/package/release surfaces are aligned and ecc-universal@1.10.0 is live on npm
• Windows locale/path and PowerShell install-path regressions fixed
• Bash hook process-storm regression fixed
• Claude Code 2.1.x hook schema compatibility fixed
• Cursor native project install path repaired:
  • .cursor/hooks.json now includes the required schema/version surface
  • .cursor/mcp.json is written in the native Cursor project location
• continuous-learning-v2 now accepts claude-desktop as a valid entrypoint
• Windows observe path now skips AppInstallerPythonRedirector.exe
• docs now distinguish plugin installs from full manual installs more clearly

What 1.10.1 is for

• make the current install surfaces predictable
• reduce stale naming/install guidance
• close the follow-up regressions from 1.10.0
• give users one stable update point instead of piecing together fixes across issues and discussions

Included release fixes

• #1543 Cursor native project hook + MCP install repair
• #1524 Claude Code v2.1.116 argv-dup mitigation in settings.local.json
• #1522 continuous-learning-v2 accepts claude-desktop as a valid entrypoint
• #1511 Windows observe path skips AppInstallerPythonRedirector.exe
• #1546 continuous-learning-v2 plugin quick start correction
• #1535 hero overflow follow-up

Important naming clarification

• Claude marketplace/plugin identifier: everything-claude-code@everything-claude-code
• npm package: ecc-universal
• GitHub repo: affaan-m/everything-claude-code

Those are intentionally different surfaces. The plugin identifier follows Anthropic marketplace rules; the npm package remains ecc-universal.

Still being monitored

This should be announced as a stabilization release, not as “all edge cases are solved.”

We are still watching for:

• OS-specific edge cases across macOS, Windows, Linux
• shell-specific behavior differences
• Cursor vs Claude plugin install-path mismatches that only appear in older or mixed installs
• third-party provider/tool-name compatibility reports that still need current-main repro

Current watch-list examples:

• #1520 likely obsolete unless repro returns on the current installer
• #1516 not gating unless reproduced on current main
• #1484 remains a Windows umbrella/watch-list issue rather than an active release gate

Recommended update guidance

If you hit 1.10.0 install/runtime problems:

1. update to the latest package/plugin surface
2. avoid mixing plugin install plus full manual repo copy unless the docs explicitly say to
3. if problems persist, report:
   • OS + shell
   • Claude Code/Cursor version
   • install method used
   • exact stderr/output
   • whether the issue is plugin install, npm install, repo sync, or Cursor project install
