halo 1.2.0

See your subagents at a glance.

• Agents table: click an agent chip (or N agents ▾) and a table fades in inside the bar, listing every running agent with its task, type, model and effort. Click again to close it.
• Waiting agents stay visible: agents waiting on background work, or idle between turns, stay in the bar with a faded dot and are marked · waiting or · idle in the table. Only finished agents leave.
• Bigger, clearer halo mark: bolder rings and larger agent dots orbiting in a lane of their own.
• Fits better on desktop: agents now show in full when there's room, and the bar folds instead of wrapping when there isn't.
• New options: sessionModel (show / hide) drops the session's own model to leave room for agents; agentTable (agents / agents+session / off) sets what the table shows.
• Fixed: the README's settings example now puts options under pluginConfigs.halo.options, the shape Claude Code actually reads.

halo still uses no model tokens.

halo 1.1.1

A small efficiency release.

• Fewer redraws: halo now skips storing values that haven't changed, so an update that finds nothing new no longer redraws the bar. Before, each such update made 5 needless writes.
• Safe with many agents: when several subagents report their model at the same moment, none of their updates can overwrite another.
• A new test counts the writes to keep it that way.

halo still uses no model tokens: it only reads what Claude Code already knows and draws it. Nothing visual changed from 1.1.0.

halo 1.1.0

The branding release: halo now looks like its name.

• One halo mark: the weekly ring outside, the 5-hour ring inside, with a soft glow on each lit arc.
• Color tells the state: teal and blue while calm, amber past 75%, red past 90%. Each number matches its ring, and the bar outline follows the tighter limit.
• Agents orbit the halo: one dot per running subagent, colored by model.
• Breathes while Claude works: the glow pulses and the dots turn, then go still between turns.
• Fits any width: agents fold into +N more or N agents, then details drop, then it wraps instead of overflowing.
• Terminal: colored ◉ and ◎ stand in for the rings.
• New README with a banner, a "Reading the halo" diagram and previews.

The plainer 1.0.0 design stays available as the v1.0.0 release.

First stable release: usage rings, running models with effort, and the Jalali or Gregorian date in a glass bar above the prompt.

Kept as the stable backup before the branding redesign.
