Flowfield v0.4.0

A clearer workspace for starting projects, following work, and managing your Flowfield installation.

Features

• Receive linked Inbox alerts while using Flowfield and optional system notifications while elsewhere. Alerts open the relevant question, permission request or result; bursts are grouped and delivery is coordinated across tabs.
• Configure announcements and browser permissions in Settings → Notifications, with a test notification action. Manage update checks in Settings → Updates, with release notes, upgrade instructions and the latest check status.
• Keep each project's Run/Pause choice across service restarts, with the same queue control available in Project settings → General.

Improvements

• Start from a Home page listing your projects, edit General settings directly, and get an introductory Coordinator message to help begin planning.
• Find questions, reviews and interventions under Inbox, formerly “Needs you.”
• Use consistent, dismissible feedback for saves, actions and failures, including inside dialogs. Settings group configuration, observed status and recovery actions more clearly.
• Use Verify installation to detect and check a harness in one action. Results include their check time and survive page reloads while the service is running. Codex and Claude Code checks cover version and native sign-in; Pi checks its version.
• Reset task worker model settings to project defaults directly beside Save, with the updated settings remaining open for review.

Bug fixes

• Improve connection, timeout and interrupted-save feedback while retaining contextual recovery controls.
• Fix notification permission feedback, alerts suppressed for items outside the visible area, and duplicate announcements during manual update checks.

Upgrade

Stop Flowfield before updating, then restart it. Workspaces from 0.2.0 through 0.3.1 upgrade automatically after a verified database snapshot. See storage and recovery.

Enabled queues can start eligible work when the service returns. Pause queues before shutdown if you want to review work before it resumes. Interrupted workers still require recovery.

The notification bell, saved notification history and legacy notification-history API are removed. Pending work remains in Inbox, and update information moves to Settings → Updates. Existing notification history is discarded during the upgrade; projects, conversations and execution evidence are preserved. Enable optional system delivery in Settings → Notifications.
