Colonizer v0.2.11

Settings are easier to find

Settings is now one vertical menu with search, and every view in the cockpit has its own address you
can bookmark and share (#1180).

  • Press / to search any page or field by name, help text or a plain word like "key" or "token".
  • A dot on a group shows when something needs you (amber) or is broken (red).
  • On a phone, the menu is a list that opens each page with a back arrow.

Fixes

  • Auto mode no longer takes on more colonies than the host can hold (#1158). Running colonies are never stopped; over the limit, nothing new starts.
  • A quota error is blamed on the right provider (#1168), so one provider running out no longer pauses the whole queue as a Claude problem.
  • Providers show their own logo (#1166), even when they were saved as custom at a known vendor's URL.
  • No more false alarms for placeholder dotfiles (#1169). The empty .env and similar files the harness mounts no longer look like a control bypass.
  • Documented example keys and redacted PR descriptions no longer block publishing (#1175). A colony that is stuck on the same cause now fails fast instead of looping.
  • Helper agents work with model aliases (#1176), and a finished colony is no longer held over an unrecognized model.
  • The Nest shows every colony (#1177), however busy the host is.

Smaller changes

  • The log archive's Clean up now takes hours as well as days.
  • The Jev key can be set on the Secrets page, without a restart (#1179).

Security status

Colonizer is alpha and not ready for unattended work on sensitive repositories, real credentials
included.
An external audit of v0.1.3 (commit d89ce76, 17 September 2026) found four ways a
colony could cross into the host; they are filed as draft advisories (F01–F04) and are not fixed
yet
, and its four release checkpoints (G1–G4) are all uncleared. Controls added since — scoped
tokens, remote-access fencing, sensitivity-aware routing, gateway audit lines, log and secret
redaction, path policy, egress and exec policies — do not close those findings, so attended work is
what the harness is good for today. The live status is
docs/audit.md and its tracking
issue (#91); report vulnerabilities privately
through SECURITY.md.

Prebuilt Colonizer for Linux x86_64 (with KVM) and Apple Silicon Macs, built from c723105.

curl -fsSL https://colonizer.dev/install.sh | sh

The installer checks the archive against SHA256SUMS. It fetches the Claude Agent SDK from the npm registry, and on a Mac the Linux build of Claude Code, from Anthropic's own channels: neither is in the release. Guide: https://colonizer.dev/docs/install

Each artifact, SHA256SUMS included, also carries a build-provenance attestation recording the commit that built it. Verify one with:

gh attestation verify colonizer-<platform>.tar.gz --repo Colonizer-dev/harness

Here is linux-x86_64 or darwin-arm64.

Apple Silicon Macs can also use Colonizer-arm64.dmg: an unsigned app, so macOS asks you to approve it once (System Settings > Privacy & Security > Open Anyway). The curl installer above is the recommended path.
