Tactic Remote v1.8.2 — Durable Conversations, Freeze Fix & Server Hardening
Tactic Remote v1.8.2 is a stability and reliability release. Conversation history is now kept by the companion server and restored automatically on reconnect, the chat no longer freezes on very long streaming answers, failures are reported more clearly, and the companion server is hardened against unexpected errors.
What's New
Durable conversation history
The companion server now keeps an authoritative record of each session and replays it when you reconnect. Your conversation survives reconnects, app restarts, and switching between devices — always in the correct order. Your messages and the agent's replies are ordered by what actually happened, so your own message no longer slips below the reply.
Freeze fix for long answers
Fixed an issue where the chat could stop responding while rendering very long streaming answers. The chat transcript rendering was reworked; long content scrolls and renders far more smoothly, and the improvement grows with answer length. Assistant answers now render as a single bubble instead of fragments, and prompts queued while the agent is running now appear in the conversation.
Clearer failures
- Authentication failures now show a clear prompt to check your API key instead of looking like a generic network error.
- Tool approval cards keep their allowed / denied state after reconnecting, with duplicates eliminated.
- Queued messages are delivered more reliably when switching sessions.
Server hardening
The companion server now recovers safely and quickly from unexpected internal errors instead of getting stuck in a bad state. This change ships across the Mac, Linux, and Windows servers.
