Muster 1.13.0 — workspace brain, brain-backed dispatch, modernized runtime

Muster 1.13.0 — 171 commits since 1.12.3

Highlights:

• Workspace brain: explicit institutional memory with provenance; Fleet MCP gains brain_write / brain_query
• Brain-backed dispatch: recommend_team ranks teammates using owner-scoped brain facts (capped bias)
• Jev-style recommend_team engine: weighted overlap ranking, busy tie-break, advisory model fit
• Muster Connector: own-branded connected-app runtime (OpenConnector contract) with Settings integration
• Mascot character system: the Flower pokes back — idle antics, follow, annoyed, dizzy, calm
• Account-Drive round-trip fixes: session resolution on local installs, refreshed-token persistence
• Blue selection fix; dark color-scheme declared
• Dependency modernization: Electron 44, React 19.3, lucide-react 1.x (GitHub mark now inline SVG), better-auth 1.7.5 with better-sqlite3 as a direct root dependency, vite-plugin 5, node-gyp 13
• Draft-cap correctness under zod 4 (UTF-16 length refinements mirroring server PATCH limits)
• Desktop packaging restored after the sweep: CUA driver 0.28.2 pin with official checksum, node-gyp constraint

Quality gates: full unit suite 0 failures, e2e 41/41, swift test 390/390, both typechecks 0, lint 0/0 (receipts: docs/plans/cross-platform-gate-report-2026-09-20.md).

macOS: Developer ID signed (THARUN RAMAGIRI, 7375K23WFU), notarized and stapled — both arm64 and intel DMGs verify as Notarized Developer ID via spctl. latest-mac.yml covers all four macOS artifacts, arm64-first.

Not in this release: Windows/Linux legs (GitHub Actions billing), iOS TestFlight (Xcode Cloud authorization pending).

Muster 1.12.3

Muster 1.12.3 — pairing client role complete

• Remote-access client role: pasted pairing links are parsed strictly before connecting (https-only, fragment-carrying codes, 6-digit desktop-companion codes named as the desktop handoff, Muster's own bare-fragment form round-trips)
• /pair displays a pairing code carried in a followed link instead of dropping it
• Teach-replay: a throwing replay backend returns a named failed-step verdict instead of escaping the contract
• Notarized macOS arm64 build (Developer ID), CLI bundle included

Full suite: 282 files / 4230 passed / 8 skipped / 0 failed.

Muster v1.12.1

Patch release — the fixes from 14 September, now auto-updating into installed apps.

Security: hosted tenant-isolation hotfix (aggregate reads and engine-fleet routes now respect account ownership). Local VM: the desktop no longer treats an already-running podman machine as a start failure, cold daemon probes get a fair timeout, and undersized container machines get a clear resize instruction instead of a mystery OOM. Product: agent social layer (public profiles, handles, directory, friend graph with both-owner consent), Connected workspaces in settings, the flower brand mark in the sidebar, a replayable welcome tour, and cursor-tracking bot avatars.

Muster v1.12.0

Desktop release carrying this week's product work: run summaries with wall-clock duration, memory load-budget gauge, memory history + rollback, opt-in Google Drive connect, seed-card answer recovery, keyboard shortcut cheat sheet (?), canonical flower branding with the star teammate's full expression set and idle rotation, and the muster.today auth-domain fixes.

Muster v1.11.0

Muster v1.11.0

The mascot release. Every teammate — and the brand mark itself — is now a musterbot: a deterministic, seeded SVG blob with expressive eyes and moods, CSS-only motion, and zero runtime dependencies.

Highlights

• Musterbot blob avatars. Teammates render as soft, wobbly blob bodies with blink, gaze, and per-state faces (working, thinking, happy, sleeping, suspicious and more). Geometry is fully deterministic — the same bot name always produces the same face.
• New brand mark. The logo is now the musterbot blob in brand orange, with a happy-eyes wave when interactive. The previous star and flower mascots remain available for existing bots' stored identities.
• New open-source library. The blob engine ships as a standalone MIT-licensed library (musterbot, geometry and rendering written from scratch; inspiration credit to the MIT-licensed Blobatar project in the source). Muster vendors a synced copy — no runtime dependency added.
• Character picker now defaults to the blob; star and other bodies stay selectable.

Payload

• Muster-1.11.0.dmg — macOS Apple Silicon, unsigned (notarization pending CI unblock)
• Muster-1.11.0-arm64.zip — macOS Apple Silicon auto-update artifact
• Muster-1.11.0-intel.dmg — macOS Intel
• Muster-1.11.0-x64.zip — macOS Intel auto-update artifact
• Muster-1.11.0-x86_64.AppImage — Linux x64
• Muster-1.11.0-amd64.deb — Debian/Ubuntu x64
• Muster-1.11.0-cli.mjs / muster-cli.mjs — standalone CLI (Node 22+, self-checked build)
• SHA256SUMS-cli.txt — CLI checksums

Windows installers are not included: the packaged-native rebuild gate correctly refuses to cross-compile better-sqlite3 off-host, and GitHub Actions remains billing-blocked. They will follow once CI is unblocked. The public download mirror therefore stays on 1.10.4 for desktop auto-updates until a complete payload (including Windows) exists.

Verification

• Full test suite: 239 files / 3,369 passed / 8 skipped before the release commit.
• CLI bundle self-check: 5/5 (syntax, help, version, isolated no-log run).
• Production web verified serving the blob avatar code on muster.today and muster.orazen.online.
• Linux artifacts built natively on a Linux x64 host (the packaged-native rebuild gate ran and passed: better-sqlite3 rebuilt against Electron headers, addon present in the packaged tree).
• macOS Intel artifacts built natively on the arm64 macOS host under the same gate.

Muster v1.10.3

Desktop design upgrade — OpenManus-inspired working language

A focused design pass on the desktop app, studied from OpenManus and rebuilt skin-safe across all four themes (Midnight, Atelier, Foundry, Lagoon).

Working language

• Plan-step marks replace the old bouncing dots everywhere agents work: a [→] glyph while a step runs, ✓/→/· round pips for done/active/pending steps — in 1:1 chat and group view alike
• Thinking shimmer: animated gradient text for in-progress labels (reduced-motion safe)
• Glass command surfaces: the command palette and OS command bar now float on a shared .glass-console primitive with backdrop blur and hairline borders

Foundations

• Skin-safe tokens: new --color-live accent (auto-generates text-live) and raised/panel/hairline tokens wired through @theme, so every new primitive re-themes correctly across all 4 skins
• Inter Variable bundled locally (7 woff2 subsets, no network font fetch)
• FleetOrb visual refinement

Verified

• 1,651 vitest tests + broker + updater suites green; typecheck clean
• Packaged-server smoke test green (no node_modules in reach)
• Renderer bundle + packaged app checked for the new CSS/fonts
• All five platform artifacts built, feed hashes verified against disk

Artifacts

• macOS (Apple Silicon): Muster-1.10.3.dmg
• macOS (Intel): Muster-1.10.3-intel.dmg
• Windows: Muster-1.10.3-setup.exe
• Linux: .deb / .AppImage

Auto-update feeds (latest-mac.yml now includes the arm64 zip) synced to the download mirror.

Muster v1.10.2

Local-build release (CI billing-blocked): Google Drive workspace sync, free built-in voice, approval history on cards, browser side panel, custom-engine Local VM fix, routine scorecards. Same artifacts as the pipeline builds — checksums in SHA256SUMS files.
