GSV v0.4.0

Commit: ba7b494 · Built: 2026-07-14T17:04:37Z · Release tag: v0.4.0

Agent runs are now interruptible: new user messages cancel superseded work without stale tool results leaking into the next response.
Tool calls, CodeMode, device requests, process IPC, and streamed bodies now support end-to-end cancellation and bounded timeouts.
Added native proc spawn, proc reset, and proc kill commands with consistent process lifecycle semantics.
Human approval requests now reach every connected session owned by the user and include the process ID needed to answer them.
Conversations now compact automatically near context limits using atomic, cancellable, time-bounded, fallback-aware compression.

Introduced WebSocket protocol v2 with binary frame bodies for files, HTTP, process media, transcription, images, speech, and package-app traffic.
Unified filesystem behavior between GSV and connected machines, including byte-correct UTF-8 appends, empty files, searches, edits, copies, and deletion.
fs.read now returns raw unnumbered text to syscall and CodeMode callers while preserving line numbering in the model-facing Read tool.
Improved media handling with content-based image detection, preserved MIME types, safer process media references, and more accurate image descriptions.
net.fetch now streams request and response bodies consistently across gateway and connected-machine targets.

Redesigned the chat dock’s icons, tooltips, branch selector, context controls, archive actions, popovers, and transcript layout.
Stabilized live transcription with ordered segments, cancellation, process-aware configuration, and fallback transcription models.
Hardened browser-extension reconnection, heartbeat negotiation, stale-route cleanup, and cancellation after connection loss.
Browser automation now opens new tabs in the background by default instead of stealing focus.
Fixed MCP sign-in, live connection status, and tool discovery for servers that omit optional MCP methods.
Browser targets can now be forgotten from the web console, and the extension uses the GSV favicon.

Scoped process, package, notification, adapter, and approval signals to their owning users.
Added durable adapter-account ownership and enforced account capabilities for package applications.
Scheduled and service work now requires a real run-as identity instead of silently falling back.
Replaced gateway-hosted CLI mirroring with verified release downloads and release-matched installation links.

0.4.0 includes a breaking change in the underlying protocol: update the gateway, CLI/device daemons, browser extension, and custom SDK clients together. Make sure they are using v0.4.0.
The schema migration interrupts pending tools, approvals, and IPC work and is not safely reversible to 0.3.3; quiesce active work before upgrading.
sys.update, gateway-hosted CLI mirrors, and deprecated signal-watch compatibility keys have been removed.
