v0.2.21latestminor

Cloud Colony, Paged Chat & LinkedIn Premium Skills

A one-click cloud computer for any colony, paged chat that stays smooth across thousands of messages, and a deeper LinkedIn skillset — including post-reactor scanning that powers the Engagement → Outreach loop and Sales Nav Premium scripts.

  • Open Cloud Computer — one-click handoff from a colony to a cloud agent runtime
  • Colony cloud interface redesigned with cleaner tab organization and an empty-tab instruction state
  • LinkedIn Premium scripts — Sales Navigator-aware sourcing, ICP scoring, and InMail support
  • New skill: scan post reactors — surfaces every engager on your posts for the personalized-DM loop
  • Paged loading of chat — colony sessions with thousands of messages stay smooth on first paint
  • Task list by session + task pivot for colony — queens reason over the work timeline, not a flat log
  • Worker seq — explicit ordering across worker batches
  • Always-enabled system tools — file ops, scheduling, and bridge controls available without opt-in
  • Credit daily allowance + per-cycle / monthly accounting
  • Side-panel tab hand-over notifications — the browser extension and desktop hand context back cleanly
  • Colony prompts now bind a tracker path so queens always know where work plans live
  • Default-hide runtime logs for a cleaner first-run experience
  • Migration-by-app-version so older state upgrades quietly when you bump versions
  • Bridge_host lifecycle hardened — owner-PID tracking, pre-spawn, parallel shutdown
  • Bridge reports desktop liveness directly via PID check (no more stale "is the app alive?" guesses)
  • Side panel surfaces agent count instead of overclaiming Hive state
  • Colony queen's tool budget loosened — queens can plan more aggressively without throttling
  • Smoother chat scrolling + overflow polish across panels
  • Tracker reminders improved — fewer false-positive nudges
  • Suppress idle nudge on a normal turn completion
  • Windows installation script reliability
  • Workers no longer get stuck loading on long colony switches
  • Colony chat pagination recovers correctly after compaction
  • Per-cycle credit calls correctly compute monthly credits
  • Adapt to non-premium LinkedIn accounts; already-messaged InMail skipped cleanly
  • pdf_read fails fast on bad files instead of hanging the runtime
  • Compaction context split no longer drops mid-session memory
  • Active bridge reconnects after extension disconnects
  • False alerts on transient health signals silenced
  • SVG renderer no longer drops portrait glyphs on first paint
v0.2.19minor

Colony Cloud Sync & File Attachments

Colonies move to cloud-backed state — pin to your account, sync across devices. Attachments unify across workers and the app handles file open + attach end-to-end.

  • File attach + open — drop files into chat, open links straight from results
  • Unified attachment interface across all workers
  • Colony remote APIs — colonies persist server-side and sync across devices
  • Pin colony to account — your colonies follow you, not the machine
  • Deep-link upgrade CTA jumps straight to the billing plan picker
  • App version exposed in the runtime for support + debugging
  • Queen's latest reply pinned to the input on colony switch — no lost context
  • Colony names auto-translate "-" to "_" on creation for clean slugs
  • Colony runtime status no longer goes stale
  • Scheduler reliability fixes
  • Queen ID correctly assigned during colony creation
v0.2.17minor

Live Debugger & Gemini 3.5 Flash

Big colony UX pass — the debugger now sees tools as they run, new agent loop states surface park reasons, and Gemini 3.5 Flash joins the worker model lineup.

  • Gemini 3.5 Flash available as a worker model
  • Live debugger — see every tool a worker invokes in real time
  • New agent loop states with park-reason surfacing in the debugger
  • After-OAuth tool selection — pick the connected tool right after sign-in
  • Real-time OAuth status updates without a refresh
  • Colony panel inline rename + worker count display
  • New-chat home iterations; walkthrough now lands on the home view
  • Queen profile drawer: avatar loading + race-condition fixes
  • Initial message loading and worker layout overhaul
  • Colony creation refactor with cleaner initial state
  • Credential management consolidated — removed web-side credential flow
  • Worker bubble status no longer flickers
  • LLM key resolver picks the correct provider key
  • Forked sessions load correctly
  • Resolved sign-in-through-web race where runtime stopped/started repeatedly
v0.2.15patch

Lazy Loading & Session Stability

Tighter chat lazy-loading, cleaner session restoration, and a better debugger.

  • New-task rendering with per-session task lists
  • Respect user manual stop — workers no longer auto-resume
  • Open external links in the regular browser
  • Onboarding CTA on the final walkthrough step
  • Debugger improvements for tool inspection
  • Don't snap chat to bottom while scrolling up to lazy-load
  • Cleaner PostHog event tracking
  • Lazy load no longer swallows incoming messages
  • Session loading regressions resolved
  • Sequential usage counter corrected
  • Windows build dependencies fixed
v0.2.14minor

Action Plans & Cloud Sync

Action plans land in the chat panel, the queen profile drawer gets refinements, and runtime now passes JWT for cloud sync.

  • Action plan display + lazy loading in the chat panel
  • Colony chat connected to the debugger
  • Queen decommission flow + profile drawer fixes
  • JWT passed to runtime spawn env for cloud_sync
  • Browser bridge moved to port 14829
  • Reminder added to the debug panel
  • Chat UI auto-expands with content
  • Rendering optimized across the chat panel
  • User response formatting cleaned up
  • Removed legacy colony action plan template
  • Chat panel gap regression
  • Action plan rendering glitches
v0.2.13patch

Vision Model Upgrade

Vision model bumped, colony creation popup polish, and preference loading on init.

  • Updated vision model
  • Refreshed colony create popup
  • Preference loading runs on init
  • Fixed /me call on runtime restart
v0.2.12patch

Credentials & Queen DM Pipeline

Credential management lands and the queen direct-message loading pipeline gets a rewrite.

  • Credentials management
  • Improved queen DM loading pipeline
v0.2.11minor

Hive-Swarm Default & Colony Creation

Workers default to hive-swarm, colony creation gets a dedicated popup, and streaming gains token-expiry handling.

  • Colony create popup
  • Streaming token-expire handling
  • Record user feedback inline
  • Default worker model set to hive-swarm
  • Colony event status surfaced in the UI
  • Colony session loading
  • Hide queen tasks within colonies
  • Context monitoring added
  • Cleaner cancel handling for usage and LLM tracking
  • Removed legacy colony profile tab
  • Added "is compacting" status to surface state correctly
