Munder Difflin v0.3.8

A local hive of Claude Code, Antigravity, Codex, Grok & Copilot agents that run themselves — messaging,
routing, and remembering, coordinated by a GOD orchestrator you talk to. Local-first and open source.

What's new in 0.3.8 — Memory condensation works for the first time

The floor has been forgetting everything, quietly, for months. Claude Code changed how it
names per-project transcript directories, and the harness kept reading the old spelling. Nothing
errored — an absent directory reads as "no transcripts yet" — so the summarizer was blamed for a
silence it had nothing to do with, and every condense attempt still wrote a full backup before
giving up.

  • Transcripts are found again, so condensation, the offline usage reconciler, and cross-cwd
    session resume all read the path Claude Code actually writes to. Found and diagnosed by
    @gts-47.
  • Triggers, in one place. Schedules, inbound webhooks, context rules and peer messaging now
    share a home in Settings, with a history of what fired and what it did.

Also in this release

  • Compaction stopped running twice. The hourly standup and the 2-hour context trigger were
    both asking for it, and turning the trigger off left the standup compacting anyway. One control
    now, and its off-switch means off. Duplicate /compact messages can no longer stack up in a
    queue and fire together.
  • The commit history is readable. It rendered through a library that overlapped its own rows,
    reserved a fixed 500px for the graph no matter how narrow the panel was, and never showed the
    commit message at all. It is drawn directly now and fits any width.
  • Dark mode fixes worth the name. Disabled buttons had labels at roughly 1.4:1 against their
    own fill, and the arrow on Send was painted in the same colour as the button behind it.
  • Panels fold. The IDE's git rail collapses to give the file tree its height back; the
    fullscreen roster collapses for a full-width terminal.
  • Codex hooks stopped timing out after one second — timeout: 0 means one second to Codex,
    not "no timeout".

Note

Auto-update carries you here from v0.3.7. If you are still on v0.3.5 or v0.3.6, those builds
shipped the broken updater and need one manual install — grab the download below, once.

Previously

  • 0.3.7 — auto-update actually runs: a CommonJS/ESM import bug meant the native updater never
    fired in any packaged build since v0.3.4, and the failure was swallowed by a catch.
  • 0.3.6 — a machine with nothing on it can run agents: Node and npm install themselves
    (verified against the official SHASUMS256.txt), hooks stopped dying with exit 127, ~/dev/foo
    paths resolve, and the office floor rebuilds itself after losing its GPU context.
  • 0.3.5 — a send now escape hatch for a paused message queue, and a compact Command
    Center header.
  • 0.3.4 — talk mode that knows the floor, markdown previews, the IDE git time-machine
    (history + branch compare), redesigned Settings, xAI Grok and Kimi Code, and a single
    delivery gate for every automatic writer. Community work by
    @gts-47 and @qschmick.
  • 0.3.3 — the built-in Monaco IDE, and GitHub Copilot CLI as the first community-contributed
    engine (@anxkhn).
  • 0.3.2 — Realtime Michael: a voice channel to the GOD orchestrator.
  • 0.3.1 — three more engines: OpenCode, Crush, and pi.dev.

⤓ Downloads

Latest builds for every platform. The macOS build is universal — one DMG that runs on both
Apple Silicon and Intel.

🍎 macOS

Build File
Universal (Apple Silicon + Intel) Munder-Difflin-0.3.8-mac-universal.dmg

🪟 Windows

Build File
Installer (x64) — recommended Munder-Difflin-0.3.8-win-x64-setup.exe
Portable (x64, no install) Munder-Difflin-0.3.8-win-x64-portable.exe

🐧 Linux

Build File
AppImage (x86_64) Munder-Difflin-0.3.8-linux-x86_64.AppImage

📦 Source

Source code (zip) ·
Source code (tar.gz)

Verify your download: SHA256SUMS.txt — then shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS.txt (macOS/Linux) or Get-FileHash (Windows).

The filenames above carry a version number, so they only resolve while this is the
latest release. If a link 404s you are reading an old release page — grab the current
build from the releases page,
which is always right.

First launch

  • macOS — the build is signed with a Developer ID (hardened runtime). If macOS
    still shows an "unidentified developer" warning on first open, right-click the app →
    Open → Open once. After that, the first time agents touch a folder you'll get a
    single macOS privacy prompt for Documents/Desktop/Downloads — allow it once and the
    grant sticks (it covers the claude agents the app spawns), because the grant is bound
    to the app's stable signature.
  • Windows — not code-signed yet; SmartScreen may show "Windows protected your PC" →
    More info → Run anyway.
  • Linux — make the AppImage executable: chmod +x Munder-Difflin-*.AppImage, then run it.

Requirements

  • macOS 12+, Windows 10/11, or a modern Linux desktop
  • Claude Code installed and on your PATH (and/or the Antigravity agy or OpenAI codex CLI for those providers)
  • A Claude Code subscription (Munder Difflin drives your existing claude CLI — it doesn't replace it)
  • For Realtime Michael (voice): your own OpenAI key with Realtime API access — without it the Talk button stays disabled

🛠 Build from source

git clone https://github.com/chaitanyagiri/munder-difflin.git
cd munder-difflin
npm install        # rebuilds node-pty for Electron
npm run dev        # launches the app with hot reload

Node 18+ and a C/C++ toolchain are required (Xcode CLT on macOS, Build Tools on Windows).
To produce installers yourself: npm run dist (current OS), or dist:mac / dist:win / dist:linux.

What's inside

  • The simulation — every agent is a real claude (or agy / codex / local-provider) pseudo-terminal, visualized as an avatar on a watchable office floor (node-pty · xterm.js · Pixi.js).
  • Talk to Michael — a realtime voice channel to the GOD orchestrator that reads the hive and acts behind spoken echo-back confirmation, BYOK and main-only.
  • Selectable engines + per-hire capabilities — each hire (and Michael himself) runs on a pluggable engine, with its own consented skills + MCP catalog.
  • MemPalace — a markdown-first, semantic memory layer the whole office shares; cross-session recall in ~12ms.
  • GOD orchestrator + hive — one agent you talk to routes work to specialists and stays autonomous, escalating only critical items (spend, destructive ops, scope) to you natively, through human-in-the-loop prompts. It can also spawn an ephemeral worker straight from Slack and tear it down safely.
  • Plugs into your setup — your subscription, settings, skills, and MCP servers, plus an integrations registry with a write-only secret broker; /remote-control reaches the whole floor from your phone.
