v0.27.0

workbench v0.27.0

2026-09-06

Headline: workbench has a mark, an animated hero, and a landing page. The
placeholder letter tile is gone everywhere; a shared brand package owns the new
mark and the canvas "swarm" that builds it from outlined tool shapes.

New

• The Node W. A wire between five nodes: four hollow tool shapes — circle,
  square, triangle, diamond — and one filled hub, the endpoint the agent talks
  to. Shipped as data plus an SVG renderer in packages/brand, with a build that
  emits the favicon, touch icon, OG image and lockups.
• Swarm login hero. The mark assembles from thousands of outlined shapes:
  an orbiting lane entrance, a rigid 3D slab that turns with the pointer, depth
  shading, a bright rim, fade-and-reseed idle, and an ambient field of loose
  shapes. Respects reduced motion, pauses when hidden, drops glow under budget.
• Landing site (site/, Netlify): hero with the docker one-liner,
  integration strip and counts read from the plugin registry at build time, a
  typed terminal replay, portal screenshots, three pillars. Builds without a
  browser.
• Docs and README use the new mark; the docs topbar links to the site.

Fixes

• Plugin tool count refreshed. Docs and README said 178; the registry holds
  194 across 16 integrations. The site prints the live number.
• Image build without Chromium. The Docker builder skips PNG rendering and
  the portal falls back to committed brand assets; turbo now passes the brand
  env vars through.
• Release workflow installs Chromium before building, matching CI.

Upgrade note: no schema or config changes. latest moves here.
