Compare local zig version with the latest upstream release.

Returns local version/path, latest stable, master, up_to_date flag and, when behind, a suggested next step. Call this before version-sensitive answers and whenever Zig code misbehaves in ways a newer compiler fixes.

Upgrade the LOCAL zig toolchain to the latest release, safely.

dry_run=True (default): print the exact plan, change nothing. confirm=True AND dry_run=False: apply it (brew upgrade or official tarball). Never pass confirm=True without the user asking for the update.

Official Zig Language Reference, fetched fresh for the channel version.

section= returns that full section. query= searches sections. Neither lists all section ids. channel: 'stable' (latest release) or 'master'.

Standard-library docs from the EXACT released source of the channel.

symbol='std.fs.Dir.openFile' walks real re-exports and returns the /// docs plus the declaration text from that release. query= searches std doc comments. Prefer exact symbols; use query to discover names.

Release-notes digest for the current channel version: what changed.

Curated guidance for high-performance lightweight software (Zig-first).

topic=None lists topics. topic='allocation-strategy' returns the guide. query searches across all guides. Principles are universal; snippets are Zig 0.16-era; verify exact APIs with zig_std.

Unified search across langref, guidance, and std doc comments.

scope: 'all' | 'langref' | 'std' | 'guidance'. Results are grouped per source with short snippets; follow up with zig_langref/zig_std/perf_guidance for full text.
