Agent Notch 0.3.5

Agent Notch 0.3.5

A small follow-up to 0.3.4: the menu no longer asks for your Mac password, and the hover panel
shows only your agents.

What's fixed

• Opening the menu no longer asks for the Mac login password. The menu read the Keychain every
  time it updated, and because Agent Notch is a non-activating panel the prompt had no focused
  window: the first keystroke went nowhere until you dismissed it and tried again. The menu now
  uses a non-secret flag, polling starts only once the app is active, and disconnecting activates
  the app before it touches the Keychain. A one-time migration adopts connections made before this
  release, so nobody is asked to reconnect.
• The hover panel lists agents, not deployments. The expanded notch rendered every production
  Vercel deployment above your sessions (up to a hundred rows of project, state, repository, commit
  and author). That section is gone. The collapsed badge still shows a running build, and the
  notification body still carries the deployment details.

Also in this release (Worker side, no app change)

• The connection page after authorizing Vercel is a proper page you can close, with a readable
  reason when something fails.
• Disconnecting now asks Vercel to revoke the token as well as deleting the local session.

Upgrading from 0.3.4

Quit Agent Notch, replace the app in Applications, and reopen it. If macOS asks once for Keychain
access on the first launch, allow it: the app is ad-hoc signed, so a new build has a new identity.
Reconnecting once from the new build removes the prompt for that build.

Install

1. Download AgentNotch-0.3.5.dmg, drag Agent Notch to Applications.
2. This build is not notarized: the first time, try to open it, then go to
   System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down to Security, click Open Anyway and
   confirm.
3. Click Connect when the app offers it (or choose Connect agents… from the menu bar item).
4. Restart any running Claude Code / Codex / Pi session.
5. Optional: choose Connect Vercel… and authorize to see production deployments in the notch.

On macOS 14 the installer needs jq (brew install jq); macOS 15 and later include it.

Known limitations

• Not notarized yet (see above).
• Ad-hoc signing: a rebuilt app can ask for Keychain access once. A Developer ID signature would
  remove that.
• The Vercel integration is not listed publicly; connecting uses the Agent Notch integration. If you
  fork the project, deploy your own Worker and register your own integration.
• Disconnecting removes the local credential and asks Vercel to revoke the token; if Vercel rejects
  the revocation (logged as a non-200 revoke), remove the integration in Vercel as well.
• Gentle Shell phase poses require explicit gentle_odd_phase reports.
• Codex task-list rendering remains untested on real runs.
