v0.2.1

Rudder v0.2.1

Released: 2026-05-14

Rudder 0.2.1 is a patch release focused on Messenger and chat reliability,
run-transcript visibility, local runtime credential handling, docs coverage, and
UI polish across agent and workspace workflows.

Highlights

• Improved Messenger and issue-chat workflows with contextual issue chat entry,
  retry for failed chat replies, unread controls, safer linked-issue prompt
  context, optimistic chat titles, image context actions, and clearer comment
  labels.
• Added memory-update visibility and developer-diagnostics controls in run
  transcripts, plus transcript action layout polish.
• Hardened local runtime execution with GitHub keyring and credential-helper
  bridging for agent runtimes, along with cancelled-heartbeat retry recovery.
• Expanded and refined the public docs site with bilingual Mintlify content,
  navigation fixes, image assets, and installation guidance.
• Improved agent, dashboard, and workspace UI behavior, including real skill
  usage counting, cached-token totals, recent issue expansion, workspace launcher
  icons, scroll-region handling, and smoother command palette animation.
• Cleaned up chat and issue contracts by removing the routing-suggestion result
  kind, ordering linked approvals by issue link time, moving approvals into
  activity, and making approval links render as plain activity.

Install
