v0.2.0-beta.9
Persistent Sage 0.2.0-beta.9 ships Pulse improvements, provider fixes, and a What's new dialog after updates. This is the first release that includes everything merged after 0.2.0-beta.8.
Highlights
Pulse
- Background check-ins use your open chat thread on a schedule you set in Settings.
- Your Pulse instructions stay hidden from the chat transcript.
- Replies are saved in chat as
Pulse Response : [timestamp] - … - Send Pulse now — run a check-in immediately from Settings → General (no need to wait for the timer).
- Agent tools still run during Pulse when enabled in Settings (web, workspace, journal, etc.).
What's new dialog
After you update, you'll see a one-time What's new! summary of highlights for this version.
Provider fixes
- OpenAI API key save — saving an OpenAI key no longer overwrites the Ollama key slot.
- Ollama Cloud — separate model list and selection from local Ollama in Settings.
Other
- Expanded privacy policy (
PRIVACY.md) for Microsoft Store compliance.
