v0.7.19

v0.7.19

GitHub ReleaseRudder 0.7.19 makes large Issue queues easier to work through, helps assigned work advance without extra wakeups, and improves recovery across Chat, workspaces, backups, and Desktop.

New

  • Issue list and Kanban views now load more issues as you scroll, with loading, retry, and completion states.
  • Heartbeat runs now advance the first runnable assigned or review Issue from the Inbox, so assigned work can proceed without waiting for a new wake.
  • Chat users can now create a Project directly from the no-project context menu.

Improved

  • Issue and Agent workflows now accept typed short references alongside UUIDs, making CLI, MCP, and API operations easier to address.
  • Workspace backup browsing and downloads now keep file ordering and metadata consistent across platforms, provide bounded text previews, and identify binary files clearly.
  • Issue recovery after a transport outage now avoids repeated collection probes and clears the backoff after the alternate CLI or MCP surface succeeds.
  • Chat response annotation markers and count chips now show hover details, with long details remaining scrollable.
  • Desktop updates now apply automatically when ready when no active-run blockers remain, while forced updates continue to respect safeguards.
  • Restored the macOS Desktop glass shell and removed the unwanted rail tint.

Fixed

  • Codex provider authentication failures now terminate promptly, appear as non-retryable errors, and stop repeated attempts until provider readiness changes.
  • Fixed organization workspace relocation and browsing edge cases so canonical paths are preserved and malformed or escaping mappings are rejected.
  • Agent-created workspace commits now preserve the repository’s configured author identity instead of inheriting a runtime identity.
  • New Issue descriptions now scroll within the dialog instead of being clipped.
  • Fixed workspace backup creation and file inspection on Windows when filesystem durability calls return a permission error.
NewImprovedFixed
v0.7.18

v0.7.18

GitHub ReleaseThis release makes workspace backups easier to inspect, agent activity easier to scan, and recovery more dependable when local transports, Desktop updates, or Chat file changes go wrong.

New

  • Added native workspace backup file browsing and preview support. Selecting a completed backup lets you browse its file tree and inspect size-limited text previews without restoring the workspace.
  • Added semantic cards for Agent MCP results, bringing Agent entries into the transcript’s readable presentation alongside Goal, Issue, Project, Approval, and Automation results.

Improved

  • Refined MCP semantic cards with clearer entity and receipt layouts, status-aware icons, richer Agent identity and runtime details, Markdown-rendered comments, and direct links to related records.
  • When Issue transport is unavailable, CLI and MCP errors now provide a single equivalent fallback command or tool, so work can continue from the other surface.

Fixed

  • Fixed Codex App Server file-change updates dropping diff content from Chat transcripts; file changes now retain their patches.
  • Fixed ordinary Markdown links in live Issue previews requiring a modifier key; they now open with a normal click.
  • Fixed CLI-triggered Desktop updates failing to complete their handoff to the Desktop application.
  • Restored the missing gutter between the Library file browser and workspace content.
NewImprovedFixed
v0.7.16

v0.7.16

GitHub ReleaseThis release makes agent work easier to delegate and recover, with clearer run debugging, more reliable long-running execution, and smoother Chat, Desktop, and localized workflows.

New

  • Added governed Delegation Runs: an Agent can create an independent run for itself or another Agent in the same organization through rudder runs create or MCP, with source attribution, idempotent replay, and Delegation filters in Agent details.
  • Added Debug Chat for failed Agent Runs. From Run Detail, send bounded, redacted diagnostics to an Agent in a Side Panel, retry with another Agent when needed, and keep the session available while switching views. You can also review diagnostics before opening a GitHub issue.
  • Added per-run skill synchronization for Hermes Gateway. Select organization skills on an Agent, and Rudder projects the selected skills into each new run without modifying the Hermes skill home.

Improved

  • Agent Runs no longer time out by default just because they run for a long time or remain quiet. After 24 hours without recorded activity, Rudder warns while keeping the run active.
  • Made Chat sends retry-safe and durable, preventing duplicate messages and preserving drafts when a send or stream fails. Editing is limited to the latest user message.
  • Added find-in-page support across Agent Detail views, with match highlighting and keyboard navigation.
  • Improved Desktop local-app recovery by retaining bounded runtime logs across restarts for diagnosis.
  • Improved Agent workspace materialization and Desktop Terminal recovery for newly created Agents and temporarily obstructed workspaces.
  • Added confirmation before destructive deletion and improved Simplified Chinese wording across issue, workspace, and status surfaces.

Fixed

  • Fixed Run Detail transcript annotations and streaming activity disappearing while a run updates.
  • Fixed Markdown live preview so unordered-list bullets render correctly and text selection survives streaming; transient website-icon failures can retry cleanly.
  • Fixed native CLI/MCP Unicode length validation so non-ASCII input is counted consistently.
  • Fixed bounded tool-failure and network-waiting recovery paths that could leave runs or Debug Chats in a stale state.
  • Fixed macOS window rendering glitches caused by transparent composition.
NewImprovedFixed
v0.7.15

v0.7.15

GitHub ReleaseThis release makes Rudder easier to understand and recover, with richer MCP results, focused run details, and more reliable Chat, Desktop, and cross-platform workflows.

New

  • Added semantic result cards for 40 built-in Rudder MCP tools across Goals, Issues, Projects, approvals, and Automations. Cards link to related records, show summaries and structured receipts, progressively load long result lists, report final outcomes clearly, and keep webhook secrets hidden.
  • Added annotations for stable transcript items in Run Detail, including the ability to select text and send it as feedback.
  • Redesigned command details around a focused Shell view with copyable output, replacing the Task and Markdown tabs.

Improved

  • Improved Chat feedback recovery so drafts and annotations survive missing conversations, Project context loading retries after failure, and a send in progress cannot be submitted twice.
  • Made failed Chat responses actionable by focusing them on Retry and Open run, without stale response content or actions.
  • Chat drafts are now available before runtime context preparation finishes.
  • Improved Markdown rendering and editing stability for links, images, and text selection, and kept Issue creation controls usable at constrained widths.
  • Improved Desktop account continuity: avatars persist across restarts and fall back to initials when an image cannot load.

Fixed

  • Fixed Windows CLI installation and runtime setup failures caused by npm command invocation.
  • Fixed Desktop release notes disappearing after a renderer reload; they remain available until acknowledged.
NewImprovedFixed
v0.7.14

Fixed

  • Made agent-hire approval checks actor-aware, allowed authorized Issue completion without checkout, and isolated inactive Library side-panel queries.
NewImprovedFixed
v0.7.13

v0.7.13

GitHub ReleaseThis release makes Goal work easier to inspect, makes Chat recovery more actionable, and lets agents create Issues directly through MCP.

New

  • Redesigned Goal details around an Issue-style Overview and Activity layout. The Activity timeline combines Goal history, feedback, and proposal events with only Agent Runs explicitly linked to the current Goal, and can load older activity on demand.
  • Added the typed rudder_issue_create MCP tool for creating Issues and subtasks with project, Goal, parent, label, and related context. Agent-driven Issue creation uses it by default.

Improved

  • Added immediate Chat send feedback, clearer timeout and network errors, and actionable retry states for messages, Side Chat, feedback, and queued follow-ups.
  • External Markdown links can show website icons, Library Markdown tables use a wider editing canvas, and Chat transcripts preserve their reading width.
  • Agent details open the latest run by default, and collapsed Messenger sidebars keep their reopen control visible.
  • Improved code-editor selection contrast and Issue-card time display.

Fixed

  • Fixed network recovery so replies that cannot be safely resumed are surfaced as retryable Chat errors.
  • Fixed passive follow-up runs losing their original Issue context and owner, reviewer, and timing metadata.
  • Fixed website-link icons retaining stale loading or error state when links change; failed icons now fall back cleanly.
  • Fixed Issue cards omitting the concrete time for items from yesterday.
NewImprovedFixed
v0.7.12

  • Added typed short references across agent workflows so issues, goals, projects, runs, and chats are easier to address consistently.

Improved

  • Improved Chat work manifests and transcript details with clearer activity, search queries, command output, and reading-width behavior.
  • Improved Goal and automation workflows with more consistent status presentation, layout behavior, and creation controls.
  • Improved interrupted agent-run cancellation and workspace backup recovery so local execution can converge more reliably.

Fixed

  • Fixed native runtime payload admission to reject untrusted or mismatched archives before fallback.
  • Restored legacy agent instruction bundles and kept plugin previews available during GitHub throttling.
  • Removed synthetic intelligence workspaces from runtime context and corrected several cross-platform Desktop edge cases.
NewImprovedFixed
v0.7.11

v0.7.11

GitHub ReleaseThis release makes Goal execution more durable and evidence-backed, while making interrupted Chat sessions easier to resume and agent run details easier to inspect.

New

  • Added an experimental Goal advancement loop with durable checkpoints: bounded Agent runs can save evidence, revise the current Plan, and record the next continuation, with automatic follow-up wakes for commitment and verification steps.
  • Redesigned transcript command details as a terminal-style view with Shell, Task, and Markdown views, status and duration, and copyable command output.
  • Added an experimental Plugins setting that keeps Hub navigation and pinned local apps opt-in.

Improved

  • Improved interrupted Chat recovery: continue from the composer or press Enter to resume a preserved conversation, while a real draft or attachment still sends normally.
  • Improved assignment startup recovery by checking workspace readiness and attempting dependency repair before execution.

Fixed

  • Restored cht_... Chat short references across Chat commands, routes, and Agent startup context.
  • Fixed Agent-created Issues entering the wrong initial state; they now start in Todo.
