awesoMux 0.21.0

Open remote Markdown files from ordinary SSH terminals, with confirmation of the destination and file before each read.

New

• Open Markdown from SSH terminals without converting the workspace to managed SSH. Relative paths can use a directory you choose; navigation and Refresh ask for fresh consent.
• Let outside apps read agent status and explicitly shared session context through opt-in, per-app grants.
• Open connected pull requests as read-only document tabs.
• Move panes between workspaces by dropping them on a sidebar row.
• Package the read-only assistant skill for checking authorized agents and shared sessions.

Fixes

• Reuse managed SSH connections for Markdown reads and show reported remote directories in the path bar.
• Restore remote Markdown from saved snapshots and explain when a restored pane starts a fresh shell.
• Keep Open Markdown pointed at the active managed SSH destination when it differs from the selected document.
• Preserve remote-connection diagnostics, improve confirmation focus and dismissal, and accept spaces around a chosen remote directory.

Download

Requires macOS 15 or later on Apple Silicon. The DMG is Developer ID signed, notarized, and stapled. Existing stable installations can use Check for Updates.

Verification

Exact-pin local preflight passed on 14334d305a43eee245946b215c4919b3c5d3d95e, including the full Swift and zmx test suites, license audits, and staged app verification.

These checks do not cover manual launch, session, or accessibility behavior.
