+Interactive diagnostics use compact status rows: healthy groups stay on one line, while warnings
+and errors expand with wrapped detail and recovery guidance. `hack doctor --json` remains the stable,
+fully detailed automation surface. Generic macOS resolver setup is shown only when those resolver
+checks need attention.
+
 Run `hack help` for the full command list, or `hack help --all` to include hidden unsupported
 experimental commands. Every command and flag on this page is also in the generated
 [CLI reference](reference/cli.md).

 - optional coding-agent setup helpers: `hack init --with claude|codex|both`, `hack agent onboard` /

+`hack setup sync` keeps interactive output compact: it summarizes each scope and only expands the
+path and reason for stale, missing, or failed artifacts. Exit status remains the automation contract,
+and the individual `hack setup cursor|claude|codex|agents|mcp --check` commands remain available when

 What was removed:
 
 - Hack Tickets agent integration; legacy commands remain compatibility-only and are deprecated
