Vodou v0.6.24

@VodouAI VodouAI released this 14 Aug 17:19

Several tools have shipped inside Vodou for months without being switched on. The task board, the memory-graph brain, the IDE memory server, Gmail and Microsoft 365 were all in the archive, all installed, and all invisible to the app — no connection, nothing under Capabilities, nothing callable. This release registers them, on new installs and on updates, and fixes the reasons a few of them could not have started even once they were.

Tools that were installed but invisible

Vodou keeps a registry of the tools it can talk to. That registry is written once, from a template, and the template's list had quietly drifted from the list of things actually being packaged. Five servers fell into the gap.

The task board was the visible casualty: a dispatched task would do its work, find it had no way to report finishing, and get reclaimed and restarted — forever. Workers can now close out their own tasks.

Updating an existing install had a second, separate hole: your registry is yours, so a corrected template never reached you. A migration now registers the same tools on update. Gmail and Microsoft 365 arrive switched off until you connect an account.

Also in this release

  • Updates take effect immediately. Newly registered tools used to stay invisible for up to five minutes after an update, while the app was still reading its old list. The list is refreshed before anything reads it.
  • Bundled tools run on the Node that ships with Vodou, not whatever is on the system. On machines with an older Node, or none at all, several tools simply failed to start.
  • The brain console and the Vodou One shell are started, stopped and restarted properly by the service manager, and survive an update.
  • macOS quarantine is cleared on first start, so a freshly downloaded build stops being second-guessed by Gatekeeper.

Fixed

  • The Chrome DevTools tool was packaged one directory deeper than the app looked for it — in every release that included it — so it failed on first connection and retried in a loop.
  • Your account token was written to the log in plain text every time your licence was checked, and stayed there. Tokens are masked wherever they are logged now.
  • A tool server that needed a specific directory name failed to load on Linux because the name differed only in capitalisation.

Known issues

  • Model lists for Groq, DeepSeek, xAI, Mistral, Together and Kimi are about three weeks old in this build. Other providers are current.
  • The Windows build is unsigned, so SmartScreen will warn, and it is download-only — Windows installs do not auto-update to this version.

Alpha.
