FriedLiver 1.142.0-15

What's new in 1.142.0-15

Windows is a first-class platform now. Agent commands run in Git Bash (or PowerShell when Git isn't installed), never cmd.exe, and the whole agents test suite runs on Windows in CI.

• More agents: GitHub Copilot CLI and OpenCode, plus your own ACP agents from settings (friedliver.agents.custom).
• New chat and Browser buttons next to Split Editor, so you can start either from any tab.
• Agent Manager map is a collapsible tree.
• Images shows images that Claude Code sessions write or save, not only the ones they read.
• Downloads started by an agent are credited to that agent, and blocked if that can't be confirmed.
• Look: editor and agents panel attached (no floating cards), no line above the active tab, left-aligned picker titles, Welcome replaces the stock walkthrough, toasts no longer cover the composer, cleaner empty chat and sticky prompt.

Windows: what to know

• Install Git for Windows first (Claude Code needs it, and agent commands use its Git Bash).
• If an older FriedLiver 0.x is installed, uninstall it first.
• The installer isn't code-signed yet: on the SmartScreen prompt choose More info → Run anyway.
• Antigravity is macOS-only for now (it runs inside macOS's sandbox); it's hidden on Windows.
• Not on Windows yet: voice dictation (use Win+H), in-place updates ("Install" opens this page).

FriedLiver 1.142.0-16 (companion test)

Test pre-release: the companion

This is a test build. Stay on 1.142.0-15 for daily work. FriedLiver's updater ignores pre-releases, so nobody is moved here automatically, and the next stable release (-17) will update you back onto the main line.

What it adds

When any agent in any chat needs you, its character runs in along the bottom of the window to the middle, waves, and a card pops at its top-right with the real question and buttons: Run a command?, Edit 3 files?, Read a file?. Answer right there; the character runs off. Several asks queue with a "+N" count. Esc (outside the chat box) puts it off; it waits in the chat.

• Careful asks and plans can't be approved from the card (Deny / Open chat only); the card never offers "always allow".
• Characters: 8 originals (Bolt, Jas, Thunder, Smash, Skip, Fox, Owl, Panda), one per agent.
• Your own: friedliver.companion.characters (a name, a file path, or {idle, run}), friedliver.companion.folder (<agent>.png/.svg/.gif/.webp/.webm), or friedliver.companion.repo (a private git repo FriedLiver clones and keeps updated with your existing git login). Short videos work: cut-outs float, flat backgrounds are keyed out, busy ones sit in a frame. WebM plays everywhere; many MP4s don't (FriedLiver tells you once).
• Turn it off: friedliver.companion.enabled.

Tested in the real macOS app: run-in, card, answering, run-off, queue, Esc, setting on/off, characters/folder, narrow windows. Not yet tried by hand on Windows.

FriedLiver 1.142.0-9

What's in 1.142.0-9

• Message times — hover a message to see when it was sent.
• /discuss — agents talk a question through together. They only read, never change files, and stop after at most 3 rounds. You get a conclusion card: what they agreed on, what they're still split on, and the next step, with a "Carry out" button to do it. Pick how it looks in settings: Board + meter (the default), Board, Meter or Timeline.
• Fixes from review
  • No Copilot pop-up on first launch; you get the FriedLiver walkthrough instead.
  • No update reminder for the version you already have.
  • The Agent Manager's counts are right.
  • Approvals still waiting when FriedLiver closes now show "Expired".
  • Fan-out only picks agents you have installed.
  • Fixes for narrow panels.
  • Ctrl+Shift+A no longer clashes with another shortcut.
  • The browser tools for agents other than Claude Code are now off until you turn them on.
• Fewer tokens
  • Browser console output sent to an agent is capped at about 6,000 characters.
  • "Review my changes" sends at most 40,000 characters and leaves out lockfiles.
  • Only the tools an agent can actually use are sent.
  • Follow-up questions send only what changed.
  • The model and effort you pick now stay with that chat. Set your defaults again once on the Accounts page.
• Agent Manager details — long agent details no longer spill out of their panel or the window.
• One-click releases — releases are now built, published and checked by one button.

FriedLiver 1.142.0-8

What's in 1.142.0-8

• Image clean-up — "Done looking" clears the images in one chat, or in all chats. The shortcut is Shift+Cmd+Backspace, and you have 8 seconds to undo. Star an image to keep it. Old images are also removed automatically once they pass 1 GB or 7 days, and the gallery shows how much space images use.
• Clearer agent errors — when an agent fails, you see the error in the agent's own words, with a "Use " button to switch to a model that works. No more surprise mode banners. Gemini shows a hint when it needs you to trust the folder. A hand-off now goes back to the chat it came from instead of opening a new one.
• Helper-agent detail panel — click a helper agent to see its brief, its steps as they happen, the tokens it used, the files it touched and its final report. Secrets are hidden.
• Fewer tokens — the same CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or GEMINI.md text is no longer sent twice. The Agent Manager shows "N tokens today", and you can turn on a daily warning.
• "/" commands kept while a chat starts — commands an agent sends while its chat is still starting are no longer lost.

Codex users: the Codex adapter has moved. Run
npm uninstall -g @zed-industries/codex-acp && npm install -g @agentclientprotocol/codex-acp
and pick a model your Codex login allows.

Full Changelog: v1.142.0-7...v1.142.0-8

FriedLiver 1.142.0-7

What's in 1.142.0-7

• Merkle-tree project index — the index is saved with a Merkle tree, so reopening a project answers at once and only changed files are re-checked (macOS uses FSEvents to know what changed).
• Token efficiency — index_read, index_outline, index_search and index_diff tools, a session primer with a compact project map, compact browser page text, downscaled screenshots, compact command output and hand-offs: about 89% fewer tokens in the token bench.
• Per-turn token log — the model tooltip shows the tokens each turn used.
• Agent logos on tabs, no sideways tab scrolling — tabs shrink to agent logos instead of scrolling, with instant tooltips; Ctrl+Tab and Cmd+1–9 switch tabs, and All chats lists the open tabs.
• Text-on-fill contrast fixes — text on coloured fills meets contrast in every theme.
• Index file limit 200,000 with a partial-index notice — the file limit is 200,000 and the memory limit stays at 150 MB, so a very large repository indexes partially instead of raising the index's memory budget. The status bar then shows "Partial index: N of M files (memory limit)" and opens friedliver.index.maxMemoryMB to raise it.
• Checkpoint fix — a snapshot now sees an edit of the same size made in the same second the file was staged.
• Test temp-folder cleanup — the UI harness, remote harness and icon script remove their temp folders.
