Problem

The spacectl formula was silently deleted in March 2026 when GoReleaser switched to publishing a Homebrew cask instead. Users who had the formula installed (like me!) were left stranded — no upgrade path, no indication of what happened, just stuck on 1.17.0 while the cask moved on to 1.21.1.

Fix

Error: spacectl has been disabled because it has been replaced by the spacectl cask!
Please install the cask instead: brew install --cask spacectl

Migration for existing users

brew uninstall spacectl
brew install --cask spacelift-io/spacelift/spacectl

The spacectl formula was silently deleted in March 2026 when GoReleaser
switched to publishing a cask. Re-add it with disable! so users who
have the formula installed get a clear error pointing them to the cask.
