Versions & availability
This site documents two related things: the Console/ClautoHotkey workflow, and the alpha.31 development build demonstrated on September 17, 2026. The demo executable reports base revision a72a652123b7-dirty; its working-tree additions are not a tagged public release.

Published source versus demonstrated additions
Treat Inspect, ProcessPipe, LCOV coverage, JSON statement tracing, and native MCP execution tools as development features unless your executable advertises them. Do not infer their presence from alpha.31 alone. The test result describes the tested binary, not every binary with that version string.
The public source branch and development checkout can differ. This site does not silently publish unrelated engine changes alongside the documentation. Verification & sources records the evidence boundaries.
Alpha language versus fork features
#Requires AutoHotkey v2.1-alpha.31 checks a language version requirement. It does not identify this fork. Print, Eval, native JSON, Inspect, Check, and ProcessPipe are fork APIs and need separate capability/source verification.
ClautoHotkey can target stock v2 with AHK_DIAG_JSON=0. Its rules consider the configured target; setting AHK_DIAG_JSON=1 on stock AHK does not add Console features.
Architecture matters
The x64 and x86 interpreters can run the engine tests. The bundled tree-sitter grammar DLL is x64-only. Headless checks also do not establish GUI, DPI, keyboard/mouse, or third-party application behavior.
