The branding check read `dev --help` only, which is why `dev exec` announced "OpenAI Codex" as its banner for a while — `--help` never shows it. It now reads every subcommand's help, and found four more leaks by itself: exec's usage line, its --strict-config and --skip-git-repo-check text, and `-c/--config` still naming ~/.codex/config.toml. That last one was recorded as unreachable when a copied island could not include utils/cli; editing the checkout in place made it reachable. Two things keep the word legitimately and are exempt: CODEX_HOME, an environment variable upstream owns, and `codex/...`, which names a method on the app-server wire protocol. Renaming either breaks something real. Branding is the product name a reader sees, not identifiers on a wire. hanzo-upstream had no tests, and it is the code that edits upstream in place — including an idempotence bug shipped earlier today that stacked appending edits until `hanzo-tui` appeared three times in one manifest. The anchor logic is now a pure function with six tests, one of which is that exact regression, and one of which asserts every shipped anchor is well formed. `make test` reaches the crate now; being a detached workspace, the root run could not see it. Cloud tasks are Hanzo Tasks, not the upstream service's name.

Hanzo Dev
Hanzo Dev is our coding agent. It runs in your terminal, reads and edits the
repository you point it at, and runs commands in a sandbox. It reaches every
model Hanzo AI serves — hundreds of them, enso and the
zen5 family included — through one metered gateway at api.hanzo.ai.
It ships inside the Hanzo CLI. hanzo dev is the command.

Install
curl -fsSL https://hanzo.sh | sh
hanzo auth login
That fetches one prebuilt native binary per tool and verifies its checksum.
npm i -g @hanzo/dev installs the agent on its own if you would rather have it
from npm; both give you the same build.
hanzo auth login signs you in through Hanzo IAM and links the machine to your
account. Then, from any repository:
hanzo dev
The standalone agent also supports dev login. Its arrow-key picker defaults
to Hanzo and offers ChatGPT sign-in or hidden entry of a Hanzo or OpenAI API key.
Run dev login --hanzo or dev login --chatgpt to select an account directly.
dev login --with-api-key accepts a Hanzo key; add --chatgpt for an OpenAI key.
Keys are hidden when typed or pasted, and can also be read from piped stdin.
Launch dev to use the account selected there.
Give it the task on the command line to run headless instead:
hanzo dev "fix the failing tests in ./core and explain what was wrong"
Choosing a model
Model ids come from the gateway, which is the only authority on the catalog — there is no allowlist in the client.
hanzo dev --model enso # our frontier model
hanzo dev --model enso-ultra # the largest reasoning tier
hanzo dev --model zen5-coder # tuned for code
Browse everything available with curl https://catalog.hanzo.ai/v1/models.
Backends
Hanzo Dev is the default and the one we build. The same session launcher can also drive two other agents if you already have them installed, so you can keep one set of habits across all three:
hanzo dev # our agent (default)
hanzo dev claude # or: hanzo code --claude
hanzo dev codex # or: hanzo code --codex
hanzo dev is a spelling of hanzo code dev, not a second implementation —
every spelling resolves through the same launcher.
Options
hanzo dev [OPTIONS] [BACKEND|TASK] [TASK] [-- <PASSTHROUGH>...]
--model <MODEL> Gateway model id, e.g. enso, enso-ultra, zen5-coder
--backend <NAME> dev (default) | claude | codex
--brand <BRAND> Tenant for auth: hanzo | lux | zoo | pars | bootnode
--ask Ask before each action instead of auto-approving (alias: --safe)
--no-sandbox Drop the sandbox and auto-approve. Per-invocation, never persisted
--no-route Call the backend's own model account instead of the metered gateway
--no-mcp Do not attach the Hanzo MCP toolset
--project-mcp Also load the repo's own .mcp.json servers (off by default — a repo is untrusted)
--link / --no-link Stream the session to Hanzo cloud, or never
--resume <ID> Resume a prior linked session by its cloud session id
-c, --config <FILE> Use a specific config file
-v, --verbose Increase logging verbosity
Anything after -- is passed verbatim to the backend.
Two defaults worth knowing. Sessions run sandboxed and auto-approve inside that
sandbox; --ask tightens it, --no-sandbox removes it. Model calls route
through api.hanzo.ai so usage is metered on your Hanzo account; --no-route
sends them to the backend's own account instead.

Project context
Run /init in a repository and Hanzo Dev writes an AGENTS.md describing what
it found. Edit that file — it is read at the start of every session in that
directory, so it is where project conventions, architecture notes and "do not
touch this" rules belong.
Tools
The Hanzo MCP toolset is attached by default: filesystem, shell, browser, and
the rest of the Hanzo surface. Add your own servers with /mcp add, or per
repository in .mcp.json — the latter is off unless you pass --project-mcp,
because a repository you just cloned should not get to run a server with your
session's key.
