Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

beyondcompare AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Cookbook Purpose

Provides beyondcompare_package and beyondcompare_git_config resources for Beyond Compare on Windows

Agent Findings

  • This cookbook is in an incremental modernization pass. Preserve existing public recipes and attributes unless a later full migration is explicitly selected.
  • Dependency management should use Policyfile.rb; do not reintroduce Berkshelf.

Known Limitations

Package Availability

Windows

  • Beyond Compare is officially distributed by Scooter Software for Windows as downloadable installers rather than a native package repository.
  • Current Windows release on April 21, 2026: Beyond Compare 5.2.1.32035.
  • Current supported Beyond Compare 4 release on April 21, 2026: Beyond Compare 4.4.7.28397.
  • This cookbook defaults to Beyond Compare 4.4.7.28397 so the resource model stays compatible with the supported Beyond Compare 4 line while remaining upgradeable through resource properties.

Architecture Limitations

  • Scooter Software lists Beyond Compare 5 as supported on Windows 10 32-bit and 64-bit and on current Windows Server releases.
  • Windows 11 on ARM is supported through emulation, with a documented Explorer shell-extension limitation and possible performance impact.
  • Beyond Compare 4 provides alternate 32-bit and 64-bit MSI installers; Beyond Compare 5 removed MSI installers and relies on the EXE installer.

Installer Constraints

  • The Windows installer uses Inno Setup.
  • Silent install options differ by major version:
    • Beyond Compare 4: /SP- /VERYSILENT /NORESTART
    • Beyond Compare 5: /VERYSILENT /NORESTART /ALLUSERS /DISABLEUPDATES /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES
  • The uninstaller also supports silent removal flags such as /VERYSILENT /NORESTART.

Supported Windows Platforms

  • Beyond Compare 5 is supported by Scooter Software on Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2022, and Windows Server 2025.
  • Beyond Compare 4.4.7 remains supported on the same platforms and additionally on Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
