Meldwork V1.0.2

Meldwork V1.0.2

This prerelease upgrades Meldwork from sequential group review into a concurrent, Agent-negotiated collaboration system and completes the related desktop interaction work.

Highlights

• Concurrent Responses freezes one shared task snapshot for every selected Agent, isolates same-batch replies, preserves all selected members, and commits results in stable order.
• Auto Discussion now begins with independent parallel proposals. Agents then challenge one another, negotiate responsibilities, execute distinct work packages, synthesize the result, and independently verify the current candidate.
• Harness V4 adds strict structured receipts, bounded Artifact and Evidence references, delivery watermarks, phase-and-slot operation IDs, serialized Human Gates, and idempotent crash recovery.
• Supported local Agent runtimes now share sanitized streaming answer, plan, status, warning, and tool-lifecycle events without exposing commands, paths, credentials, or private reasoning.
• Unlimited discussions show real state-driven phases for parallel divergence, cross-Agent challenge, coordinated work, synthesis, and verification.
• Group and direct chats now include an animated return-to-bottom control. Message copy, version, regenerate, and delete controls were also corrected for narrow layouts.

Safety And Compatibility

• Existing V1 manual, V2 Auto Discussion, and V3 Task Graph records continue through their original parsers and executors.
• Workspace writes remain opt-in. Concurrent replies, proposals, challenges, negotiated work, and verification are read-only; only the selected synthesis writer can receive write access.
• Renderer-visible state remains limited to validated phases, participants, roles, progress, and Gate data.

Verification

• Frontend: 302/302 tests passed.
• Desktop: 1335/1335 tests passed.
• Deterministic Eval Harness: 6 cases and 18 results passed.
• Web build, Electron renderer build, desktop pack, DMG/ZIP integrity checks, deep code-sign verification, and git diff --check passed.
• The final packaged 360 x 800 acceptance passed all 8 checks for group/direct streaming, return-to-bottom behavior, Trace bounds, message actions, and stop durability.
• Exact source and tag CI passed at commit 053026a736e740ba071335379efdf84fd4e16510.

Current Live Boundaries

• Hermes live streaming and tool lifecycle acceptance passed.
• The latest OpenClaw live run failed closed with LOCAL_AGENT_PROCESS_FAILED. Protocol fixtures and managed-runtime tests pass, but this release does not claim successful live OpenClaw streaming/tool acceptance.
• One Codex direct run completed after exceeding the 300-second observation window; this remains a live latency limitation, not a UI failure.

Distribution

• Apple silicon only: DMG and ZIP are included with SHA256SUMS.txt.
• The app is ad-hoc signed, not Apple Developer ID signed or notarized. macOS may require Open Anyway on first launch.
• Meldwork is distributed under the Meldwork Non-Commercial Source License. Commercial use requires prior written permission.
