Herd v0.0.4-beta

Herd v0.0.4-beta

Public beta release synced from monorepo main on 2026-07-02.

Highlights

Credential pool and provider recovery

• In-place credential pool rotation with deferred recovery persistence (#1813 / #1814).
• Recheck blocked credential recovery on send and bound fallback scans.
• Claude credential switch recovery and usage-limit signal gating (#1808 / #1809).
• Lean recovery path with drain-race fixes for commander replacement.

Command Room and conversation UX

• Conversation cache shape crash fix (#1816).
• Conversation UX invariants: idle composer behavior, modal forms instead of prompt flows, reduced healthy-list polling (#1807).
• Live conversation list polling improvements.
• Active conversation boot-state sanitization and idle commanders until runtime restore.

Onboarding, settings, and channels

• Dismissible bootstrap API key rotation prompt with settings guidance.
• Provider defaults and channel form contract fixes.
• Commander mobile shell and channel onboarding fixes.
• Hardened automatic channel reply delivery with concurrent delivery preservation.
• Channel inbound-drop accounting across Slack, Discord, Telegram, Google Chat, and WhatsApp.

Cleanup and polish

• Removed dead Hammurabi UI/code paths from issue #1807 (sentinels consolidation, mock assets, legacy command-room components).
• Replaced fake skill DAG with package inspector.
• User-facing Hervald phrasing replaced with Herd across console UI, CLI, and ops output.
• Added UI-to-backend logic flow architecture diagram and engineering architecture-diagram skill in monorepo docs.
