Otōto 2026.20

Otōto released version 2026.20, bringing its maven plugin to version 0.2, which lets the tool read parent POMs and imported BOMs from Maven's local cache at ~/.m2/repository when `dependency_caches = true` is set in ~/.config/ototo/config.toml. With the setting enabled, `read pom.xml#spring-core` now returns the version Maven would use plus the file and line that set it, and names the dependency's JAR when the cache holds it; snapshots found in the cache are flagged as possibly out of date. The release also makes `ototo init` work with any agent and has `ototo doctor` show an Agent section in place of Claude Code's on such machines, and users upgrade via `ototo update`, which changes nothing in settings.json or CLAUDE.md.

dependency_caches = true in Otōto's settings, a parent POM or an imported BOM that is not in your repository is read where Maven keeps what it has downloaded, ~/.m2/repository, along with its own parents and BOMs. read pom.xml#spring-core then ends with the version Maven would use and the file and line that set it, where it used to stop at "not in this repository". It also names the dependency's JAR when the cache has it, ready for read <jar>!<class>. A snapshot found there says it may be out of date. This release brings version 0.2 of the maven plugin, which does this.dependency_caches set, read and outline take a .pom there by its absolute path, as they already take a JAR. Nothing else in a cache is read, listed or searched, and without the setting nothing changes.ototo init works with any agent.ototo doctor shows such a machine an Agent section in place of Claude Code's. Upgrading from 2026.19: ototo update. It brings the maven plugin up to 0.2 if you have it, and changes nothing in settings.json or CLAUDE.md. To have the maven plugin read Maven's cache, add dependency_caches = true to ~/.config/ototo/config.toml.
