Hodometer 1.3.0

Hodometer 1.3.0 makes the socket fit for many AI agents working at once, and adds the Sentinel daemon: the non-AI part of the defense that SENTINEL.md describes.

What's new

• Commands run in parallel. Four worker threads serve the socket. Each client's commands still run one at a time and reply in the order sent, but a slow inspect from one client no longer holds up the others. Up to 128 commands can wait across all clients; past that a client gets command queue full, try again.
• Four captures at once, one per process (or one for every process). capture stop <pid> ends one, capture stop ends all, and capture lists them in captures[]. The capture event carries active. Each Inspector shows its own process's capture.
• conns pages and filters: conns [pid|all] [active] [since <now>] [cursor <n>] [limit <n>], with total, count, next and now in the reply, so a poller can read every flow, or only what changed since its last poll.
• Lighter packet streams. watch <pid> handshakes sends only the frames that decode to TLS or QUIC hellos, DNS or HTTP. A new flowinfo event announces a flow's SNI, ALPN, HTTP request or TLS version as soon as it is decoded, without packets.
• 64 watched processes per connection (was 8).
• inspect reports the executable's SHA-256, and signature checks are cached per path and hash.
• status reports captures, max_captures, max_watch and workers.
• Sentinel daemon (sentinel/ in the source; Python, not part of the download). It owns the Hodometer connections, scores every process with the rubric in SENTINEL.md, starts an evidence capture at SUSPECT, and runs the Sentinel coordinator and up to four investigators on the Claude API. It runs from its own private Python copy, so allowing it does not trust every Python script on the machine, and it is dry-run by default: kills and blocks are logged, not sent. See sentinel/README.md. It has been run live against Hodometer without models; the run with models has not been tested yet.
• build.ps1 -Out <name> builds under another name while Hodometer.exe is running.

Install

1. Download Hodometer.exe and install.ps1 into the same folder.
2. Run install.ps1 from an elevated PowerShell. It registers the Hodometer logon task (elevated, no UAC prompt), adds a Desktop shortcut that starts that task, and starts the app.

Upgrading from 1.2.0: exit Hodometer from the tray menu, replace Hodometer.exe, and start it again. The logon task and your trusted and blocked lists are kept. install.ps1 is unchanged since 1.1.0. The socket protocol is backward compatible.

Build

Hodometer.exe was built from this tag with build.ps1 (MinGW-w64, static). It is not code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may warn on first run.
