The Construct CLI 0.15.11 - 2026-01-18

Release Notes

Added

• SELinux Label Control: Added sandbox.selinux_labels config to enable, disable, or auto-detect SELinux mount labels.
• Doctor Ownership Check: Added a Linux/WSL config permissions check with a chown fix suggestion for ~/.config/construct-cli.
• Automatic Config Permission Fix: On Linux/WSL, automatically detect and fix config directory ownership issues before runtime preparation, with clear messaging and user confirmation before running sudo.
• Simple Progress Mode: Added dot-based progress output for non-TTY environments and when CONSTRUCT_SIMPLE_PROGRESS=1 is set.
• Podman Rootless Support: On Linux, container now runs as user (not root) for proper Podman rootless compatibility. macOS continues to use root with gosu drop.
• Truecolor Support: Forward host COLORTERM to container, defaulting to truecolor when unset. Fixes washed-out colors over SSH.

Fixed

• SELinux Home Relabeling: Skip :z labels when running from the home directory to avoid relabel errors.
• Config Write Guidance: Emit clearer permission warnings when config-generated files cannot be written.
