Houston 0.4.14

Builds on v0.4.13 with a round of reliability fixes (Windows sign-in, setup errors, starting missions, and a friendlier crash screen) plus a cleaner macOS installer.

Fixed

  • Start a new mission from Mission Control. The "new mission" action works again from Mission Control.
  • Automatic recovery from a corrupted conversation history. If a saved conversation gets corrupted, Houston now repairs it on its own instead of getting stuck when you resume.
  • Clearer, translated setup errors. When Claude Code can't finish setting up, Houston now shows the real reason, in your language, instead of a generic failure.
  • Readable startup errors instead of a white screen. If Houston hits a problem while launching, you now get a clear, copyable error with a way to report it, rather than a blank window. On older macOS versions you get an update prompt instead.
  • Agent-created notes show up in Files. Markdown that an agent writes now appears in the Files tab right away.
  • Notification clicks open the mission (Windows and Linux). Clicking a finished-session notification now takes you straight to that mission.
  • No leftover background process after quitting (Windows and Linux). Closing Houston now fully shuts down its background engine.

Changed

  • Cleaner macOS installer. The install window has a clear drag-to-Applications layout, and if you open Houston directly from the disk image it offers to move itself into Applications for you.
  • Keyboard shortcuts live in Settings. The Commands list moved into Settings as a "Keyboard shortcuts" section.
  • Reasoning effort is per agent. You can set reasoning effort per agent now, and it only shows for models that support it.
  • Tidier sign-in dialog. The provider sign-in link is tucked behind a "reveal" toggle so the dialog stays clean.

Before you upgrade

  • Mac: quit Houston before installing. macOS does not always replace a running app cleanly. If in doubt, remove /Applications/Houston.app and drag the new copy in.
  • Windows x64: auto-update from 0.4.7 or later pulls you forward automatically. The MSI is still not OS-code-signed (SignPath integration still pending).
  • Windows ARM64: there is no auto-update path from an emulated x64 install. Download the ARM64 MSI manually, uninstall the x64 build first, then install the ARM64 one.
