Lines where the two differ have a tinted background and bold values. Where the data itself says which value is better (more marketplaces, a larger figure of the same marketplace, a fresher release, a verified mark on a marketplace that lists both), the better one is also marked green with ▲ and the worse one red with ▼. Where it runs, the transport, the tools, the settings, hooks, the bundle's parts, the licence and the week's changes are marked only as different: more or fewer is not better in itself.
What each says it does
casemgr-channel
Pushes AI work items from CaseMgr — a shared workspace for you and your AI agent — into your running Claude Code session as channel events. When a CMMN workflow in CaseMgr produces a pending work item, the plugin forwards it via SSE so Claude can claim, execute, and complete it without any human prompt. Uses Bearer-token auth, real-time event delivery with polling fallback, and a /casemgr-channel:configure skill for setup. Claude handles the actual work via the existing casemgr MCP tools (cases, notes, tasks, semantic search, file management, billing, and 178 more).
