Conch 0.1.0-alpha.14

New

• Review and apply skill updates from chat

Fixed

• Ground Auto decisions in evidence and target wait notifications
• Choosing the provider that is being carried ends the carry

---

Install

• The app: download the file for your computer below (.dmg for a Mac, .exe for Windows, .AppImage or .deb for Linux).
• From a terminal: curl -fsSL https://conchagent.com/install.sh | CONCH_CHANNEL=alpha sh on macOS and Linux, or irm https://conchagent.com/install.ps1 | iex in PowerShell (set $env:CONCH_CHANNEL='alpha' first).
• Already have Conch? It offers this version itself, in Settings → Health → Updates.

Check it’s genuine

• The tag v0.1.0-alpha.14 is signed with Conch’s release key. Every Conch checks it against release/allowed_signers before it updates, and so does the installer.
• Each download has a build provenance attestation: gh attestation verify <file> --repo georgevibing/conch-agent.
• SHA256SUMS lists every file’s checksum: sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS --ignore-missing.
• conch-0.1.0-alpha.14.spdx.json is the software bill of materials: every package this release is built from.

The desktop app isn’t code-signed for macOS or Windows yet, so they ask once before opening it, and a Mac offers each update as a download instead of installing it itself. The checks above still hold.

Conch 0.1.0-alpha.13

Conch 0.1.0-alpha.12

New

• A chat can wait for another chat, or a task it started, and carry on by itself when it's done
• Your chats know what your other chats are doing
• Your chats can message each other, and stop each other, as far as you let them

Fixed

Conch 0.1.0-alpha.11

New

• Passwords knows how an account signs in: with Google, Apple or another account, a passkey, single sign-on, or an emailed link
• An item that signs in with Google says so, with the account, and opens the Google login it uses
• In Conch's browser, your assistant presses the site's Continue with Google and Conch fills your Google sign-in, after one question
• A passkey kept only in another password manager is handed to you, with the offer to make one in Conch next time
• Choose how one of your own items signs in when you edit it, and find them by searching "google", "passkey" or "sso"

Better

• An item's page is calmer on a phone: one short line under its name, and the buttons below it
• Items from 1Password and other managers say where they're kept in one line, with Copy into Conch beside it
• Copy into Conch keeps how an item signs in

Fixed

• A 1Password item saved as Sign in with Google no longer shows an empty password that does nothing
• Logins without a password are no longer counted as weak or reused in the Security check

Conch 0.1.0-alpha.9

New

• Conch notices a slow memory leak and starts itself again once, while nothing is working, before it can freeze
• Conch holds new work as soon as it starts falling behind, before it stops answering
• A frozen Conch leaves a small note of where it was stuck, so a repeat can be fixed. It never holds your chats, commands or keys

Fixed

• Waking your computer from sleep no longer stops a command that was running
• A frozen Conch starts again in seconds, and a slow start, like restoring a big backup, is no longer taken for a freeze
• On macOS and Windows, a chat's commands end when Conch stops unexpectedly, instead of running on unseen
• On Windows, stopping Conch with Ctrl+C saves your conversations first
• More ways to delete, download and run code, or read keys, now ask first, such as a wrapped rm -rf, find -delete and gh api
• Your keys stay yours: a password is never filled into a page that moved, a redirect to another site drops the key, and more secrets are hidden
• Skills are checked against the whole key you trust, deep files included, and a skill is never added part-way
• Failed sign-ins from elsewhere no longer keep this computer out
• Routines: Run now pressed twice runs once, a paused routine stays paused, and a one-off runs on time
• Charts draw gaps, negative stacked bars and more than eight colours right, and fit their space after switching from Table
• Chat apps get long answers, links and emoji whole, and Slack catch-up pages back through busy channels and long threads
• Files stay attached while you move between chats, and a message too long to send stays in the box and says so

Conch 0.1.0-alpha.10

New

• Settings → Health tells you when Conch stopped answering this week and started again on its own, and where it was stuck

Fixed

• Conch notices when it keeps stalling for a few seconds at a time, not only when it stops answering for long
• When Conch is frozen, it keeps a note of where it was stuck, even when it froze while starting
• If Conch starts answering again just before it would be restarted, it carries on instead
• Ctrl+C on a frozen Conch stops it in seconds, and pressing it again stops it at once
• A frozen Conch no longer keeps running in the background after whatever started it has gone
• When Conch has to stop a command to stay responsive, it stops the one working hardest right now
• When another program keeps the computer busy, Conch waits longer before restarting itself, and never mistakes that for its own trouble
• Messages after a restart say what happened, and how long Conch will wait before starting again
• After one slow moment, waiting work says Conch is catching up, not that it is recovering from repeated trouble
• A command can no longer open a door into Conch that other people on this computer could use
• A routine waiting for room on your plan runs once there is room, even when it was held a moment before
• Setting your computer's clock back no longer holds every command for as long
