PyPI still only has rdt-cli 0.4.1 while the doctor hint required >=0.4.2, so the suggested install command always failed. Installs from the upstream GitHub repo pinned to the 0.4.2 commit instead, and syncs all four docs that still taught the PyPI path. Verified locally: clean-venv install from the pinned source yields rdt 0.4.2 and rdt status works. 86 tests pass. Fixes#294.
CRITICAL FIX: update.md was telling agents to uninstall bird CLI,
which broke users who had working bird installations. Now:
- twitter.py: prefers twitter-cli, falls back to bird/birdx if installed
- update.md: removed "clean up deprecated tools" step entirely
- Added explicit rule: "Never uninstall any existing tools the user already has"
- Tests cover twitter-cli primary + bird fallback + preference order
78 tests passing.

Problem: After installing Agent Reach, agents may clone repos, create
files, or write output into the workspace directory, gradually polluting
the user's project. Over time this degrades the agent experience.
Fix:
- SKILL.md: add Workspace Rules section — never create files in workspace
- install.md: add Directory Rules table, explicit boundary about workspace
- install.md: all git clone commands now target ~/.agent-reach/tools/
- update.md: add workspace warning
- cli.py: install creates ~/.agent-reach/tools/ directory
All agent-facing docs now enforce: /tmp for temp, ~/.agent-reach/ for
persistent data, workspace stays untouched.
