Houston 0.4.15

Adds Claude's newest model and a more flexible OpenAI sign-in flow, plus a round of fixes for renaming agents and recovering from corrupt history.

Added

  • Claude Opus 4.8. Anthropic's newest Opus is available wherever you pick a Claude model, for both new chats and existing agents.
  • OpenAI device-code sign-in. Signing in to OpenAI now works in setups where Houston cannot open a browser for you, such as a remote engine, the web app, or a headless server. Houston shows a short code and a URL; open the URL on any device, paste the code, and you are signed in.

Fixed

  • Renaming an agent or workspace works for every edge case. Renames that only change capitalization (for example, "Sales" to "sales") or that keep the same name go through cleanly now. The agent's folder location also stays in sync after a rename, so reveal-in-File-Manager and similar actions point at the right folder.
  • Recover from a corrupt routine history. If a saved routine run history gets damaged, Houston now repairs it on its own so the routine can run again instead of getting stuck.
  • Translated session-finished notification. The desktop notification that fires when an agent finishes its work now appears in your language.

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.
