Ember v1.0.0

The first release: everything Ember does today, in one static binary for Linux on amd64 and arm64.

Claude Code

• 15 hooks installed into ~/.claude/settings.json (the file as it was kept once as settings.json.pre-ember;
  other tools' hooks left alone), recognised under any binary name so a reinstall replaces stale ones.
• The pill names the session at work and how long it has been at it; several sessions show the one you can't see,
  and the rest as +N. A session gone quiet turns amber; one silent for half an hour settles to idle.
• The card: the hero session's task, its facts and a live timeline hanging from Ember, with failed steps and
  subagents on a branch; every other session as one line; click one to make it the hero.
• Permission requests and questions answered on the island (Deny, Always, Allow, numbered options) or with
  ember allow | deny | always | answer. The whole command is shown, and what Always would allow. A request goes
  back to the terminal after [claude] wait_s (85 s), at once if Ember isn't running.
• Done and Stopped in words, quoting Claude's most informative sentence; outcomes you missed wait by the clock, and
  a line sums up what happened while you were away.

Music and the desktop

• Any MPRIS player: the cover in a ring in the pill, now playing on a haze of the cover's colours, controls, a
  scrubber you can drag, and an equaliser that listens to the output (8 kHz, nothing stored).
• Moments: volume, microphone and brightness, charging and battery low, Bluetooth headphones with their battery,
  screenshots with a preview, a dot while the screen is shared (niri).
• niri is first-class (focus, terminal titles, screencasts); Hyprland and Sway can focus a session's terminal.
  Noctalia's bar height and wallpaper palette are followed; [look] covers other bars and your own colours.

Ember, the flame

• A character with a pixel face, a physical body, acts for every moment, an energy and mood over the day, sleep,
  presence, habits, a dance that keeps the song's beat, and a gate on its flourishes.

Plugins

• Protocol v1 (JSON lines, docs/PLUGINS.md and its JSON Schema), a host with limits, coalescing, backoff and
  suspension, grants for the powers that reach past a plugin's own line, the Go SDK and test harness in
  pkg/plugin, and two examples: pomodoro (Go) and notify-build (shell).
• ember note and ember status for scripts; ember plugins and ember dash.

Tools

• ember install (a systemd user service, the hooks, a default config), ember doctor (the service, protocols,
  watchers, hooks, config lines, plugins, and whether the running island is this binary), ember demo (a Claude
  session played on the island), ember uninstall [--purge].
• A config that applies within ten seconds and never stops Ember over a bad line; every key in docs/CONFIG.md.
• About 9 MB of memory and ≈1% of a core while Claude works, drawn in software with damage tracking; nothing polls.
