v0.2.3

Rudder v0.2.3

Released: 2026-05-16

Rudder 0.2.3 is a patch release focused on improving Desktop update reliability,
managed workspace checks, agent and issue workflows, and the public app
experience after the 0.2.2 line.

Highlights

• Hardened Desktop and CLI update handling with cached release assets, safer
  stable/canary comparisons, explicit restart confirmation, and fixes for
  macOS app icon lookup and operator-home CLI shim authentication.
• Added runtime cache retention so stale local runtime downloads are pruned
  instead of accumulating indefinitely.
• Improved managed workspace preflight coverage and resilience, including
  projectless automations and partial Desktop workspace bridge handling.
• Refined issue, chat, and automation workflows with better sub-issue creation,
  parent context display, ask-user answer rendering, mention insertion, command
  palette behavior, and automation detail layout.
• Polished the app shell and organization surfaces with guided product tour
  support, improved agent avatars, restored organization skills scrolling, and
  better run, cost, and kanban metadata display.
• Updated Chinese onboarding and concept docs, plus screenshot/demo assets, to
  match the current first-organization and issue lifecycle workflows.

Install

npx @rudderhq/cli@latest start

After the persistent CLI is installed, rudder start uses the same CLI surface
when it resolves to the same version.

Notes

This release promotes the 0.2.3 package line to the stable npm latest
dist-tag. Desktop assets are attached to the v0.2.3 GitHub Release and
verified by checksum before installation.
