GM, I discovered something surprising about Dork this morning <[o_o]>

People have been saying that Dork and Goose are very different, and it never made sense to me. These are just wrapper scripts around the same AI model. I chalked it up to coincidence. We even debated whether the name "Goose" was making Goose behave in a more chaotic way due to the word's association with "Wild Goose Chase"

Well, it turns out Dork's temperature was set to 0, which is the default set by Vercel's ai-sdk. Because of course Vercel's gonna Vercel. Goose doesn't set a default, but Claude defaults it to 1. So Goose is by default in chaos crazy mode, while Dork is the total opposite in deterministic mode.

Anyway, a new version of stacks is released. Run "stacks upgrade" to get it. Dork still defaults to temp 0, but you can now pass "-t 1" for goose mode, "-t 0.5" for in between, or any other number between 0 and 1. The agent.json file now also accepts a "temperature" object if you want to configure it per-project.

Determinism was never an option
