Cleo v0.8.0

Cleo v0.8.0

Cleo v0.8.0 focuses on desktop reliability and a clearer backend structure.

Highlights

• Apply configuration changes without restarting the backend. Running turns retain their original settings, invalid edits preserve the last valid configuration, and the desktop reports configuration problems.
• Preserve accepted task events during cancellation, settle pending callbacks, and finish terminal and harness-handoff records when cancellation arrives after the provider has completed.
• Improve ACP tool names, plans, model selection, approval prompts, and consistency between live updates and saved history.
• Initialize approvals and questions consistently for newly created, resumed, and forked tasks. Live task controls follow their actual harness when configuration changes.
• Recover missing session indexes before new writes. Keep large, excess, and unreadable untracked files visible in the changes panel, and improve undo support for long Windows paths.
• Separate backend startup, run state, commands, chat execution, presentation, and persistence responsibilities, with expanded regression coverage.

Upgrade notes

• The terminal CLI, Textual TUI, main.py, and application Docker/Compose entry points have been removed. Use the desktop application. The Codex and memory MCP entry points remain available.
• Existing v0.7.1 session and memory data remain supported. Cached timelines are rebuilt to apply the corrected tool and plan projection.
• Existing ACP sessions retain their saved approval policy, including deny_all. Select user in the session's runtime settings to receive approval prompts.
• Changes to data-directory settings require restarting the backend.
