Burrow 0.8.1

Burrow 0.8.1

A stability release: the live dashboard no longer freezes, live status now
streams, and there's a one-click Homebrew update button — plus the Windows
preview catches up on its code review. Still local-first.

Fixed

• No more "App Hanging" freezes. The Overview dashboard used to re-render
  its whole grid — every chart tile and the full process table — once a second;
  now only the small Disk / Network tiles update that often, the rest on the
  snapshot. Opening Settings and the About panel no longer blocks the
  main thread either (login-item status, metrics-folder sizing, and the
  engine-version lookup all moved off it), and PostHog telemetry now flushes
  off the main thread.

Changed

• Live status streams by default. With Mole 1.44+, Burrow streams
  mo status --watch (newline-delimited JSON) instead of polling mo status --json — lower latency and less subprocess churn. It falls back to polling
  on older mo or if the stream drops, so the dashboard never stalls.

Added

• Update with Homebrew — for cask installs, the update prompt now has a
  one-click button that runs brew upgrade --cask burrow and relaunches,
  instead of just printing the command.

Windows preview

• Closed out the port review: MCP tool parity with macOS
  (burrow_list_apps, burrow_purge, burrow_installer — all preview-only
  over MCP), stdio MCP that survives the HTTP toggle, brand assets / palette /
  fonts / app icon aligned to the Mac, honest docs, and real MCP +
  deletion-guard test coverage. (Earlier review rounds added Recycle-Bin
  routing, a drive-root guard, and SHA-256 verification of the bundled engine
  binary.) Still an unsigned, build-from-source preview.
