Changes

• remote: the ssh socket path budget counts ssh's temporary suffix

• Review fixes for remote access, dictation and app icons
• Remote access (#89, #90): Tern on your phone, with end-to-end encrypted push

• App icon variants (#100): Ink, Paper, Terminal, Blueprint, Sunset
• Review fixes for runs and SSH remote
• SSH remote, part 2: a window on an SSH host
• App: the project's files, git, gh and formatters go through hostio
• SSH remote, part 1: tern bridge, tern --host, the host's files and commands
• docs: runs in the desktop guide and the tern skill (writing plans, being a step)
• Runs page: plans, live run graph, step detail and controls
• Orchestration: runs of agent steps, carried out by the daemon
• test: TestSleepAndWake keeps the --resume line on one row (it wrapped under load)

Changes

• Daemon: an agent's first hooks wait for its session to be registered

• CHANGELOG: v0.5.0
• test: Swift debugging is tested on macOS (Linux's lldb-dap has no Swift)
• Updates: a card at the bottom right downloads, checks and installs a new Tern

• Debugger: any language — Dart, Flutter, JS/TS, Ruby, C/C++/Swift/Rust zero-config, your own adapters
• PR page: the Rerun button gets its own column (it wrapped into the dot's)
• Bottom bar: no F-key buttons; Shortcuts and the daemon on the right
• Right sidebar: icons for its tabs (names in the tooltips)
• PR page: clicks work again; big diffs load
• test: the ports test listens with a bare socket (CI was too slow for http.server)
• test: kitty error replies echo nothing
• Fix what review found: a reply injection, a deadlock, and more
• Notes and prompts: a session in the diff's folder is found through /tmp links
• F1 help: the new keys
• Docs: the terminal, tabs, viewers, browser, pages, keys and computer use
• Computer use: tern-desktop computer, for agents (with permission)
• Browser tabs: WebKit in a tab, and Grab Element for agents
• Welcome card and a tip a day
• Help ▸ Report an Issue: a bug report to look through, then share
• Updates: the newest release for a channel, and brew to install it
• Proxy: a Network setting for agents and for Tern itself
• Skills page: every agent's skills, installed and shared in one place
• skill: tern new after the task example
• CLI: new, kill, split, open, agent-context; read --scrollback; send waits
• Keybindings: every shortcut by id, changed in Settings → Keys
• Markdown: Mermaid diagrams, contents, scroll sync, PDF export
• Viewers: images, PDFs, CSV / TSV tables, notebooks, SVG; image diffs
• Tabs: preview tabs, colours, ⌃Tab recent tabs; autosave
