v9.0.0

Breaking

• Saved state moves to state format 8, in .dreamcatcher/v8/. Saved
  work from v7.0.0 and v8.0.0 does not carry across: before upgrading,
  let each assignment reach its wrap-up or finish its pull request by
  hand, and accept that conversations and campaigns start afresh, as
  the upgrade instructions
  describe. (#740)

Changed

• The feed no longer shows a subagent's steps, so subagents that run at
  once no longer interleave their lines with each other's and the
  agent's. A Claude round still shows each subagent when the agent sends
  it and its report when it finishes, and the report is no longer
  indented. A Codex round shows a [wait] line as soon as the agent
  waits on its subagents.
  (#729)
• The status views count down to the next update from when the last
  update finished, and show updating while an update runs, with a
  pulse on the web page unless the browser asks for reduced motion. The
  countdown used to start when an update started, so it reached 0s early
  and stayed there through the next update.
  (#740)
• Each update lists the open issues assigned to the signed-in account
  once, whatever the number of routes, rather than once for each
  dispatch label. A failed listing now starts no new work of any kind,
  and shows as one scheduler failure.
  (#726)
• A lead round's trigger names each sub-issue that woke it, with what
  changed, such as #687: checks finished, mergeable, in place of a
  count of the sub-issues that changed. The web page links each
  sub-issue.
  (#741)
• No view shows the revision of main that a conversation or campaign
  round was given.
  (#741)
• Once an assignment completes, or a conversation or campaign ends with
  its issue, the next update removes its worktree, and an assignment's
  local branch, to free the disk. Its record stays, so the home page,
  dreamcatcher status and dreamcatcher view still show it, without
  the worktree or a hand-resume command. A cancelled assignment keeps
  both. A removal that fails is printed with the update and not tried
  again. (#732)
• The web home page always shows the Assignments, Conversations and
  Campaigns tabs, and dreamcatcher status a section for each kind.
  Before, a kind's tab and section were hidden while the daemon routed
  no label of that kind and had none of its work. Now the tab says that
  the daemon routes none of that kind, and links to the documentation
  that shows how to add the route to dreamcatcher.toml.
  (#751)
• Round lists on the web and in the terminal omit successful outcomes,
  so running and exceptional outcomes stand out.
  (#753)
• The upgrade guide explains how to reclaim the disk an earlier state
  format holds, after keeping any cancelled assignment's work you want.
  (#742)
• The campaign guides explain when to use GitHub's merge queue, or leave
  its up-to-date requirement off, to avoid repeated agent rounds after
  each stage merges.
  (#754)

Fixed

• A campaign's sub-issue card shows a new assignment in the update that
  starts it, instead of waiting one more update.
  (#739)
• The documentation home page's headline fits a phone held sideways.
  (#743)
• An invalid web feed position is now called a position in its error
  message, matching the terminal feed.
  (#748)
• Switching theme on the web keeps the page's place in the address, so
  the home page stays on the tab it showed.
  (#744)
• The feed shows the report of a Claude subagent that hands its report
  back, where it showed only a line saying the report was delivered
  elsewhere.
  (#729)
