Important

Windows users who installed Paneflow 0.6.7: the built-in update button will not correctly upgrade this version to newer releases.

Please download the latest Windows installer manually from paneflow.dev or the latest GitHub release. On GitHub, choose the Windows .msi asset named like paneflow-<version>-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.msi.

This updater issue is fixed starting in Paneflow 0.6.10. If you are already on 0.6.10 or newer, no manual workaround is needed. See the Windows update notice discussion for the short announcement.

Highlights

  • Restored native desktop notifications for agent lifecycle events: completed turns, approval/input requests, unexpected exits, and stalled agents now notify when Paneflow is not foregrounded.
  • Polished the core app feel with an animated startup splash, smooth sidebar open/close transitions, fixed-width terminal tabs, hover-to-close tabs, better title truncation/tooltips, and a collapsible tab-bar action cluster.
  • Hardened the signals that make Paneflow useful as a control plane: service badges are less timing-dependent, Windows now participates in port detection, agent status is shared between UI and IPC, and pane resize/lifecycle behavior has stronger guardrails.

Install

See the Installation section in the README.

What Changed

Agent notifications

  • Restored the desktop notification firing path for ai.* lifecycle events after the in-app chat removal had left the visibility gates in place but no notifier behind them.
  • Added specific notification bodies for finished turns, approval-needed/input-needed states, unexpected agent exits, and stalled agents.
  • Kept notification delivery off the GPUI thread and gated by the configured notify_when_agent_waiting setting plus foreground-window state.
  • Sanitized agent-supplied notification text by bounding it and stripping bidi/zero-width control characters before showing it in a native notification.
  • Added Windows notification identity support with a stable Strivex.PaneFlow AppUserModelID, registry registration for unpackaged/dev runs, and a matching WiX Start Menu shortcut property so packaged MSI installs get reliable toast attribution.
  • Clarified the config schema semantics for PrimaryScreen and AllScreens: native OS notification APIs own display placement, so Paneflow treats both as foreground-window-gated notification modes.

UI polish

  • Added a lightweight startup splash that mounts before the main app and shows a subtle animated Paneflow wordmark before handing off to the real workspace.
  • Made the primary left sidebar animate open and closed across CLI, Agents, Diff, and Settings surfaces; the title bar now follows the animated rail width instead of snapping.
  • Reworked terminal tabs into stable fixed-width chips with safer title derivation from custom names, agent titles, shell cwd titles, and default terminal cwd fallback.
  • Added tooltips for truncated tab titles and switched the close affordance to a hover-revealed leading slot, keeping the tab label aligned while making close easier to hit.
  • Expanded the tab context menu with copy path, copy relative path, move-to-pane, cancel queued prompt, and close tab actions.
  • Added a collapsible tab-bar action cluster so dense pane toolbars can be folded without losing access to copy, zoom, sessions, agent launchers, and custom buttons.

Panes and layout

  • Hardened pane splitting and closing with focused layout-tree tests for sibling insertion, cross-direction wrapping, ratio redistribution, and single-child container collapse.
  • Improved border resize behavior with a wider hit target, asymmetric minimum-size clamping, nested-layout minimum calculations, and clean resize-end callbacks when mouse state/window bounds interrupt a drag.
  • Changed terminal PTY exit handling to drain final output after child exit before showing the exit overlay, matching Zed's terminal behavior and avoiding clipped last lines from fast exits.
  • On Windows, terminal teardown now walks and terminates the process tree children before the root process, reducing orphaned descendants under ConPTY.

Service and agent status

  • Stabilized dev-server/service badges by merging OS-side port scans with terminal text detection instead of requiring both to win a timing race.
  • Preserved frontend labels and exact URLs when backend output mentions the same port, pruned stale service labels, and avoided substring lookalikes like invite or origin being misclassified as Vite.
  • Ignored shared/listener-balanced ports when computing per-terminal port conflict badges, so a shared port does not look like a collision.
  • Added Windows port scanning with ToolHelp process-tree traversal plus IPv4/IPv6 GetExtendedTcpTable listener ownership, bringing service badges closer to Linux/macOS behavior on Windows.
  • Shared one workspace agent-status projection between the CLI sidebar and fleet.list, keeping hooked sessions, unhooked process-scan fallbacks, and active-agent tooltips consistent.
  • Simplified Agents sidebar thread indicators to compact lifecycle states derived from hook-backed agent state, with failed agents shown distinctly instead of falling back to idle.
  • Added process-start fingerprints to agent thread tracking so stale sweeps can distinguish the original process from PID reuse where the platform exposes enough information.

Cross-platform and release hardening

  • Added a mandatory repository instruction to verify every implementation decision against Windows, macOS, Linux distro families, Wayland, and X11 before considering work complete.
  • Gated the Windows process-basename helper so non-Windows builds do not trip -D warnings on platform-specific helpers.
  • Bumped the workspace, lockfile package entries, and Debian changelog to 0.6.7.
