Make the human workspace read commands easier to use in chat transcripts and shell pipelines by adding CLI-only --content-only to workspace file read and workspace disk read. Keep JSON, SDK, and MCP behavior unchanged while fixing the default human rendering so content without a trailing newline is cleanly separated from the summary footer. Update the 3.9.0 docs and roadmap status, and add CLI regression coverage plus a real guest-backed smoke for live and stopped-disk reads.

3.9.0 Content-Only Reads And Human Output Polish
Status: Done
Goal
Make human-mode content reads cleaner for chat logs, terminal transcripts, and copy-paste workflows.
Public API Changes
Planned additions:
pyro workspace file read WORKSPACE_ID PATH --content-onlypyro workspace disk read WORKSPACE_ID PATH --content-only
Behavioral polish:
- default human-mode
workspace file readandworkspace disk readshould always separate content from summaries cleanly, even when the file lacks a trailing newline
Implementation Boundaries
- keep JSON output unchanged
- keep human-readable summary lines by default
--content-onlyshould print only the file content and no summary footer- keep current regular-file-only constraints for live and stopped-disk reads
Non-Goals
- no new binary dumping contract
- no removal of human summaries from the default read path
- no expansion into a generic pager or TUI reader
- no change to SDK or MCP structured read results, which are already summary-free
Acceptance Scenarios
- reading a text file with no trailing newline still produces a clean transcript
- a user can explicitly request content-only output for copy-paste or shell piping
- docs can show both summary mode and content-only mode without caveats about messy output joining
Required Repo Updates
- CLI help text updated for file and disk read commands
- stable docs and transcripts revised to use
--content-onlywhere it improves readability - tests that cover missing trailing newline cases in human mode
