v0.5.0

v0.5.0 · 2026-07-04

The largest release since v0.4.0 (238 commits): Connect Knowledge brings your cloud drives into every room, a much bigger Integrations Hub (Slack, Google, Microsoft 365, Snowflake, LinkedIn, Discord, Telegram), agents get their own Channels, a Telegram remote-control gateway, clean-path routing, a borderless "Manila Arc" redesign, and a deep editor + knowledge-import pass.

🟢 New

• 🟢 Connect Knowledge: per-room knowledge sources. Browse Google Drive, iCloud, OneDrive/SharePoint, and Dropbox read-only inside a room, or mount a synced folder inline with a read-only policy enforced on the server. Native Google Docs and Sheets shortcuts render in place, the cloud picker auto-detects your desktop-sync accounts, and there is no OAuth to set up.
• 🟢 Integrations Hub, much bigger: a 52-connector tabbed catalog with illustrated per-step setup art. Live connectors now include Slack, Google (Gmail, Calendar, Drive), Microsoft 365 (OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, with personal-account sign-in), Snowflake, LinkedIn, Discord, and Telegram, plus a Social category and a "Soon" request flow. A launch gate keeps not-yet-ready tiles grayed out.
• 🟢 Channels: per-room team chat for your agents (the internal team-chat, renamed from "Slack"). @mention an agent and it actually replies, with a live "is typing" indicator; channels sort by most recent activity and live under .channels per room.
• 🟢 Telegram remote control: an inbound gateway to run agents and search Cabinet from Telegram, with room-scoped chats, a personalized welcome, and a per-chat /model command for provider, model, and effort overrides.
• 🟢 Knowledge import: bring Apple Notes (macOS) and a Notion export (.zip) in as local Markdown.
• 🟢 In-app browser: external links and web pages open inside Cabinet in the desktop app, using a native web view that loads sites an iframe can't, with an iframe fallback on the web build.
• 🟢 Editor: inline Mermaid diagrams with zoom and pan, LaTeX (.tex) embed rendering and a file viewer, file:// links, a wide mode for full-width reading, and a Link vs Embed chooser when you paste a URL.
• 🟢 Schedule: unified Schedule surfaces with calendar interactivity, one-off tasks, and a "this and following" recurrence split.
• 🟢 Onboarding: a new knowledge-graph step in the wizard.

🔵 Improved

• 🔵 Manila Arc: a borderless redesign where the bright content sheet floats on a manila "desk", with softened hairline borders.
• 🔵 Clean-path routing: the app moved from hash routing to clean paths end to end (web and Electron), with reopen-to-last-path persistence, section anchors in previews, and nested cabinets round-tripping correctly on reload.
• 🔵 Editor and paste: paginated PDF export that skips cross-origin fonts, tree-view sorting, relative-image resolution in standalone .md pages, and any embed can be turned back into a plain link (frame-checked so a framing-hostile site can't leave a dead box).
• 🔵 Tasks: real-time updates for non-Claude (Codex) runs, immediate Codex failure surfacing with actionable hints, one shared SSE connection for conversation events, concurrent follow-ups rejected with a clear 409, and no more phantom _pending conversations.
• 🔵 Sidebar: moving standalone .md files no longer fails with ENOENT, renaming preserves the file extension, and the Edit Symlink dialog no longer overflows its box.
• 🔵 Observability: diagnostic logging and attributed file history.

🟣 AI & providers

• 🟣 Added Claude Fable 5 and bumped Opus 4.7 to 4.8; stale task errors now clear on recovery.
• 🟣 A SEND_EMAIL agent action wired end to end (inline and JSON parsing, dispatch, transcript), calling sendEmail() directly instead of a flaky HTTP self-fetch.
• 🟣 Conversation run timeout raised from 10 minutes to 1 hour (env-tunable); finalized conversations skip transcript re-parse.
• 🟣 Scheduler trigger health is exposed on the daemon /health endpoint.

🟡 Fixed

• 🟡 Auth: PBKDF2 password hashing with a per-install salt and login rate-limiting (closes #11); the daemon authenticates scheduler triggers against the KB_PASSWORD gate and backfills all auth inputs from .env; sign-in works on mobile browsers and through reverse proxies.
• 🟡 Windows: repaired the CLI install path, the Squirrel installer and release manifest, chunked PTY prompts, and remaining POSIX-only assumptions.
• 🟡 Artifacts: external paths detected by absoluteness rather than a system-dir denylist, placeholder paths sanitized so repair is idempotent, and task artifacts resolved against the task cwd so they open and appear in the sidebar.
• 🟡 Networking and dev: npm run dev:all works behind LAN / Tailscale / VPN hostnames; background-tab polling pauses so two Cabinet URLs can coexist; the file watcher stops following symlinks to avoid EMFILE.
• 🟡 Agents / editor: unified the agent spawn working directory (fixes scheduled-run ENOENT) and kept EditorContent mounted to avoid a flushSync-in-lifecycle warning.
• 🟡 Lint and security: eliminated all 49 react-hooks compiler-rule errors repo-wide and patched the ws and next advisories.

🔴 Changed

• 🔴 Clean-path routing: the app serves clean URLs instead of hash routes across web and Electron. Old hash links resolve via a marker-scan parser, but the canonical form is now path-based.
• 🔴 Channels on-disk rename: the internal team-chat directory moved from .slack to .channels, scoped per room.

🙏 Thanks
