v0.3.1

Update from wherever you are. When a new version is out, Tabby Island shows an Update button (also in its menu-bar menu and Settings › General › Updates), a new Claude session mentions it once a day, and /tab update or tabby update get it from Claude or a terminal. An update gets the plugin, refreshes the parts of setup you have (nothing you turned off comes back) and the island, which restarts on the new version. tabby update --check only looks. The check asks github.com for the latest release at most every 6 hours and sends nothing about you; tabby config updateCheck false turns it off.

Fixes from an adversarial review of 0.3.0:

  • The terms prompt couldn't be answered on a Mac. With curl … | bash (and tabby install in a shell), it said "Nothing was changed" before you could type. It waits for your answer now, and CI answers it through a pipe on every change.
  • A claude alias broke every new terminal. With alias claude='claude --dangerously-skip-permissions', or Claude Code's old local installer, tabby's shell lines were a syntax error. They work alongside the alias now, and tabby new --color/--theme reach the new session.
  • Tabby Island installs are safe to run at once and never go backwards. Before, an island that was ahead of its release could be re-downloaded and restarted on every session start, and two installs at the same time could corrupt it. Now it's one install at a time, the copy is made before the island quits, and an older download never replaces a newer island.
  • doctor respects your choices. An island you skipped (--no-island), a login item you turned off, or an island you quit is reported, not "fixed". A missing island is a warning, not a failure.
  • Uninstall is honest. It finds claude like the installer does and says when the plugin wasn't removed. It leaves CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_TERMINAL_TITLE alone if you had set it before tabby.
  • Installer:
    • CLAUDE_BIN for a Claude Code in an unusual place;
    • every plugin error is shown, not just the last;
    • an install made without git switches to GitHub once git works, so it keeps updating;
    • Node found through a version manager is remembered as its real binary, so hooks keep working in projects pinned to an old Node.
  • CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR: the install guide, the "fix tabby" skill and the island follow it.
  • Safer launching. tabby new --dangerous refuses a folder it only guessed from part of its name, and --dangerous=false means off. tabby ls numbers sessions (for tabby focus 2 and tabby tile --only 1,3), tabby tile active and /tab tile screens work, and tabby new --list --limit shows more folders.
  • tabby island login --off no longer stops the running island, and tabby island stop sticks until you start it again.

Install: paste Install tabby for me: run curl -fsSL https://claude-tabby.vercel.app/install.md and follow it. into Claude Code, or run curl -fsSL https://claude-tabby.vercel.app/install | bash. TabbyIsland.zip is what the installer downloads (it checks the .sha256). It isn't notarized, so a copy downloaded through a browser is blocked by Gatekeeper: use the installer, or tabby island install.
