NativeAgent 0.6.4

The agent grows into your apps. Tools, skills and senses are now one thing —
abilities — and the agent writes, checks and keeps its own.

Abilities

  • Tools, skills and senses are one idea with one lifecycle: propose,
    validate, keep, roll back, drop. They run on one JavaScript engine inside
    the app.
  • Each ability is one file in the agent's abilities folder, with at most one
    previous version beside it for rollback. Dropping an ability deletes its
    file; nothing lingers in an archive or trash.
  • Ask in plain words and the agent grows what it needs: a sense for a file
    kind it couldn't read, a tool that drives an app, a skill that strings
    tools together. Each new version is validated before it is kept; one that
    fails is discarded and the working version stays.
  • Abilities can drive any scriptable Mac app by its bundle id, with a
    per-command timeout, and notice when an app's dialog is in the way.
  • Every turn carries a short line of what the agent can do, so it knows its
    own abilities in a new chat. The abilities census lists them all.
  • Your switches hold: an ability you turned off stays off until you turn it
    back on. An agent you marked trusted acts as you would; untrusted peers
    cannot change abilities.

Works on smaller models

  • A full plain-ask run on a small model drove fixes that help every model:
    malformed tool calls are repaired instead of dropped, a reply that
    announces work but makes no call is continued, stray tags no longer reach
    the reply, and a stalled stream is retried on evidence.
  • Session summaries never fail a turn; a summary that can't be read is
    recorded and the turn goes on.

Smoother

  • The Mac app does less on its main thread: streaming a reply, switching
    chats, long transcripts, the rail pages and launch all redraw only what
    changed, and file reads and image decoding happen off the main thread.
  • The iPhone app redraws less per keystroke and per streamed word.
  • iPhone status (health, Desk, turn summaries) publishes again: the Mac's
    status saves were being deferred by the system while the app was in the
    background.

Leaner

  • About 25,000 lines of dead code, duplicate mechanisms and wasted work
    removed across the app, the engine and the iPhone app.
  • Engine logic moved out of the window code and back into the engine, and
    the architecture check now keeps it there.
