v0.2.1

Portfolio-readiness pass on top of v0.2.0 — a real feature surfaced on the
dashboard, a couple of real bugs fixed, and a pass to make the landing page
and README read well to someone skimming them cold.

What's new since v0.2.0:

• Task pool surfaced on the dashboard. The pull-based queue/next
  dispatch model (added in v0.2.0) now shows up visually: the dashboard's
  Active tasks stat gets an "N in pool, unclaimed" chip whenever something's
  sitting in the shared pool, so push-based and pull-based dispatch are both
  visible at a glance instead of only inferable from a task's assignee.
• Fixed: the landing page's release button pointed at a pinned tag
  instead of /releases/latest, so it would've gone stale on every future
  release. Fixed, and the README's test count (which had drifted from the
  actual suite size) was corrected too.
• Richer, more realistic seed data (a ci-runner session/host, a
  reworked task pool and message thread with a real burst/lull pattern) and
  a scrollable-timeline CSS fix so the dashboard's two columns balance
  visually instead of one trailing off far past the other.
• Portfolio readability pass: the landing hero now leads with a
  plain-English line and a stat strip (test count, verified platforms, the
  two-machine dogfood story) instead of burying that context below the
  fold. README gained a "Known limitations" section (queue has no priority
  or expiry, dashboard is intentionally local-only with no auth) so those
  read as deliberate scope, not oversights.
• package.json's version had been stuck at 0.1.0 since the project
  started, even through the v0.2.0 tag. Synced to 0.2.1 here.

62/62 tests passing, CI green, verified cross-platform (macOS, Windows,
Linux via CI).

v0.2.0

Public launch of MACD (Multi-Agent Command Deck) — a real GitHub Pages
site, a genuine cross-platform-verified feature set, and actual pull-based
orchestration logic, not just a dashboard.

What's new since v0.1.0:

• A public site — yashrao10.github.io/macd — with a real, clickable dashboard demo (docs/demo/, the actual dashboard's HTML/CSS/JS fetching static seeded data instead of a live server, honestly labeled as a frozen snapshot)
• Pull-based task dispatch: macd queue "<description>" drops a task into a shared, unclaimed pool; macd next <session-id> claims the oldest pending task that's either already assigned to that session or sitting in the pool. Complements the existing push-based macd assign
• Crash-vs-clean-exit detection: a spawned pane's crash is now distinguished from a clean shutdown in real time, verified on both macOS and Windows
• The Windows named-pipe path and the crash-detection race were both real cross-platform bugs found and fixed along the way, not just assumed to work
• 59 passing tests (up from 53), CI green on every push

Renamed from agent-deck to MACD (Multi-Agent Command Deck) — see PROMPT_INPUTS.md's 2026-09-16 entry for the naming discussion (it does collide with the trading indicator of the same acronym; that tradeoff was made deliberately).

Full Changelog: v0.1.0...v0.2.0

v0.1.0

First tagged release of MACD (Multi-Agent Command Deck) — a terminal multiplexer and orchestration layer for running a fleet of Claude Code sessions as coordinated workers.

What's in v0.1.0:

• macd watch — spawn and view multiple live sessions side-by-side in split panes
• macd send / assign / tasks — cross-process messaging and task tracking between sessions
• macd dashboard — a read-only web view (session cards, a Kanban task board, an activity feed with a message-volume sparkline)
• Cross-platform: verified working on both macOS (native PTY layer) and Windows (named pipes), including live crash-vs-clean-exit detection for spawned panes
• macd seed for demo data, 53 passing tests, CI on every push

This project is its own dogfood case — built across a real two-machine setup (Windows as orchestrator, MacBook as worker) using the exact cross-session delegation pattern the tool exists to formalize.
