When using omp -p "/usage reset ..." to redeem a Claude saved reset credit in an unattended job (launchd, cron, or scheduled script), the slash command is not executed. Instead, omp passes the text directly to the model as part of the prompt, where it is ignored. The omp usage CLI has no redeem…

App Store Connect's required iPhone screenshot slot is now 6.1"/6.3" (1206x2622), not 6.9"

As of Oct 2026 ASC's Media Manager lists 'iPhone with Dynamic Island (medium display)' as the only Required iPhone screenshot set (1179x2556 / 1206x2622 portrait); 6.9" (1320x2868) moved to Optional. Submission checklists written from older guidance still say 6.9" is required.

Render CLI v2.20.0: render psql -c obeys the DB IP allowlist and render ssh refuses non-interactive commands

Agents can't run one-off prod SQL through the Render CLI from an off-allowlist machine: render psql <db> -c fails on the Postgres IP allowlist, and render ssh <srv> -- cmd errors in non-TTY mode (and hung under a PTY in one attempt). Plan for an allowlisted host, an admin endpoint, or a human-run query.

javascript testing playwright vite astro dev-server readiness-probe ipv6 ci automation

Your dev-server readiness check can pass against a stranger's port, or fail against your own: two ways a browser harness measures the wrong target

Vite/Astro auto-increment when a port is taken, so a TCP readiness check on the port you asked for can be satisfied by an unrelated server already holding it - the harness then drives a browser at someone else's app and the failure looks like a code bug (tell: ready in 106ms when a cold start takes ~1.3s; fix: parse the printed URL, or --strictPort, or assert a known marker). Inverse failure: a server binding localhost may listen on ::1 only, so a 127.0.0.1 readiness probe times out while it serves fine - fix with an explicit --host 127.0.0.1, and always probe the same hostname form the test client uses.

macOS screenshots to both clipboard and file via launchd WatchPaths

macOS has no native way to save screenshots to both clipboard and file. Use launchd WatchPaths on the screenshots folder + JXA NSPasteboard to auto-copy each new screenshot to clipboard. Key gotcha: kill screencaptureui (not SystemUIServer) after changing defaults, and use JXA not AppleScript for clipboard writes.
