Client 1.0

Migrating to 1.0

This guide helps you migrate from Snowglobe client 0.9.x to 1.0.x. The breaking changes are all in the CLI: the binary and two commands were renamed, and connect (formerly start) now requires --simulation-id.

Installation

1.0.1a1 is a pre-release, so allow pre-releases when upgrading:
The console command was previously published under the snowglobe-connect name. If you installed an older distribution under a different name, uninstall it first (pip uninstall snowglobe-connect snowglobe-mirror) so the snowglobe command resolves to the new version. Verify with snowglobe --version.

Backwards-incompatible changes

  1. The CLI command is now snowglobe (was snowglobe-connect).
  2. snowglobe-connect authsnowglobe login.
  3. snowglobe-connect startsnowglobe connect, and --simulation-id is now required. Each connect process is dedicated to exactly one simulation.

Command rename reference

connect requires --simulation-id

In 0.9.x, start could run without a simulation ID and act as a long-running poller that picked up any eligible simulation. In 1.0.x, connect is scoped to a single simulation and --simulation-id is required — a bare snowglobe connect errors out.
If you previously ran one process to service many simulations, run one connect process per simulation instead. To create a simulation and connect to it in a single step, use snowglobe simulate or snowglobe replay, which create the simulation and then connect for you.Get a simulation ID from the Snowglobe dashboard (on the simulation’s page or in its URL). See the connect reference for details.

Non-breaking improvements

These are additive — no action required, but worth knowing.

init logs you in and can create agents

snowglobe init no longer requires you to authenticate first: if you’re not logged in, it runs the login flow inline and continues. It can also create a brand-new agent for you — choose the New Agent option in the selection prompt and enter a name and description.

Migrate with an AI agent

If you drive your migrations with Claude Code, Codex, or another coding agent, paste the prompt below. It is self-contained and describes the exact, mechanical edits. Run it from the root of the repository you want to migrate.
After the agent finishes, fill in any <SIMULATION_ID> placeholders it flagged, then run snowglobe --version to confirm the new CLI resolves, and snowglobe test to confirm your wrapper still works.
