Patterm 0.5.0

Patterm 0.5.0

• Organise agents and processes into folders shared across your desktop and
  browsers. Folders replace pinned tabs and fit into the sidebar's sort order.
• Integrated agents can set and track native goals from the composer.
• Agents can publish reusable HTML figure templates and show local videos in
  figures. Figure-only replies now fill the conversation column correctly.
• The notifications tray has an Unread tab, and its bell is available on phones.
  You can also disable user-facing subagent notifications.
• OpenCode agents keep Patterm's tools when a session moves, and undelivered
  steering messages can be sent again or dismissed.
• Secrets expire after 24 hours by default, with longer lifetimes available.
  Existing secrets expire on upgrade because their creation time was not
  recorded; agents can ask for them again.

See CHANGELOG.md for the full list of changes since 0.4.0.

Platform support

Linux x64 and arm64 are the supported release platforms.

macOS and Windows desktop builds are experimental, including when attached
to a stable release. They pass automated build checks but still need hands-on
testing with agent CLIs; bugs and platform differences may remain.

• macOS: Apple Silicon (macos-arm64) and Intel (macos-x64) app zips.
  These builds are ad-hoc signed, not Apple Developer ID signed or notarized,
  so macOS may block opening them. Install or update with install-macos.sh.
• Windows: a portable x64 zip (windows-x64) and the per-user PowerShell
  installer (install.ps1).
• The background service installer and Tailscale setup are Linux-only.

Each app archive has a matching .sha256 file. Install and sign into your agent
CLIs separately. See the repository README for platform installation details.

Patterm 0.4.0

• The assistant joins the other bots in the sidebar. Bots can use voice, Focus
  mode and notification digests, and keep their own harness and model settings.
• Agents and bots share saved memory across projects, with an optional nightly
  review of new conversation activity.
• Bots and their helpers are easier to find and message, including bots on
  paired hosts. Bot notifications show their reply and their picture.
• Agents can pin a configurable status label, such as "Waiting for review".
• Optional usage telemetry helps you find features you use and those you don't.
  It is off until you enable it with your own PostHog project key.
• The command palette can launch presets, and the sidebar can sort agents by
  recent activity.
• OpenCode fixes keep tools available after idle eviction, preserve streamed
  replies, and keep the model and speed pickers in sync. Codex conversation
  history and model selection are more reliable too.

Windows Start menu branding fix:

• The Windows executable embeds Patterm’s product name, version and icon, so
  Windows lists the app as Patterm instead of Electron.
• Upgrades remove the old Electron shortcut when its app identity and target
  both identify it as Patterm. The new app also repairs this on launch when
  upgrading through an older in-app updater. Other applications’ Electron
  shortcuts are kept.
• Start menu and notification shortcuts can launch Patterm.exe directly with
  the installed resources and production data directory.

Windows fixes for quitting and updating:

• Quit exits after managed processes stop even if final resource cleanup reports
  an error. Shutdown dialogs and the debug log include the underlying exception.
• The desktop launcher runs Patterm.exe. An electron.exe compatibility copy
  remains in the package so older installed updaters can install this release.
• The installer prepares Start menu shortcuts separately and replaces them
  atomically, preserving the existing entry if setup fails. Running-app errors
  identify the blocking process by PID and executable path.

Patterm 0.2.6

This release adds an All agents view across projects and quota forecasts,
and improves agent recovery, activity indicators, and compaction.

Added

• All agents shows open agents across projects, grouped by project or in your
  own order. Choose which projects appear and launch agents locally or on a
  paired host, with a + button beside each project for quick launches.
• Usage estimates how much quota will remain at reset, or when it may run out,
  based on your recent pace.

Changed

• One Show subtitles toggle controls sidebar subtitles.
• Integrated Claude batches streamed text to the browser every 50 ms.
• Browser tabs load updated page code after a server update.

Fixed

• Failed Integrated agents retain their subagent families and can be opened
  for recovery. Restart carries subagents, timers, and session context across.
• Context usage refreshes after compaction, and idle compaction preserves
  questions and notifications, recovers saved deadlines after restart, and
  handles failures without misleading activity or completion notifications.
• Agents with background tasks show that they are still working, while
  questions show Has a question and approvals show Needs permission.
• Auto-summary tokens count in Usage with a separate breakdown.
• Claude's /model command updates the model shown in its controls.
• History reads tolerate database initialization by the import worker.

Patterm 0.2.5

Patterm 0.2.5

This release improves conversation switching and repeat visits, fixes startup
and terminal exit issues, and moves the assistant button into the bar.

Changed

• Integrated Claude reuses its model, effort, mode and slash-command controls
  until they change. Conversation snapshots omit the full model and command
  lists, saving tens of kilobytes per snapshot.
• Opening an Integrated conversation no longer holds up terminal typing in
  the same browser. Returning to an agent within a few seconds reuses its
  worktree diff totals instead of running git again.
• Conversation history caches up to 24 pages within about 4 MB, evicting the
  least recently read pages first. Long scratchpads reopen from cache too.
• Paired hosts announce history changes, so linked projects can reuse cached
  remote history. Older hosts continue to be read each time.
• The browser avoids duplicate update and settings reads when connecting.
• The assistant button sits in the top bar, or bottom bar on phones, so it
  no longer covers composers, send buttons or terminal text.

Fixed

• The first browser load after server startup no longer gets script-file
  503 errors that leave the page blank until reloaded.
• Launching an agent from a browser tab opened before a server update now
  opens the agent instead of leaving the tab on its previous page.
• Linux terminals retain output read as a process exits, including when
  the terminal is busy drawing a frame. This uses a patched vendored copy
  of alacritty_terminal 0.26.0.

Full Changelog: v0.2.4...v0.2.5

Patterm 0.2.4

Patterm 0.2.4

This release makes agent switching and repeat visits faster by removing serial
requests, caching reads until their data changes, and reading likely destinations
ahead. It also improves Integrated agent activity reporting and MCP connections.

Performance: what changed

1. Show cached context immediately and remove unnecessary requests (#72).
The session context panel stays mounted across agent switches and immediately
shows that agent's previous context while refreshing. Diff totals start from
cached worktrees, allowing the diff read to run without waiting for context.
Todo and scratchpad pickers load only when opened; harness presets load once per
terminal page mount. Project navigation chooses its first tab before mounting a
terminal, and served pages carry their sign-in state, saving a startup round trip.
Terminal frames from the previous agent can no longer displace the new agent's
frames, and the shared-terminal banner waits for control ownership to be known.

2. Read context again only when its project changes (#75).
SQLite triggers advance a project's context revision in the same transaction as
writes to its todos, scratchpads, links, worktrees or attachments. A shared query
cache keys context reads by project, arguments and revision. Revisits reuse the
result; changes in another project and unrelated agent starts or stops no longer
reload it. Unknown revisions on older paired hosts use change announcements,
and reconnect refreshes the fallback signal. Presets refresh when settings change.

3. Extend the cache to records and announced data (#77).
Todo and scratchpad details use project revisions. History, media, routines, MCP
servers, updates and harness models use change generations that also advance on
reconnect. Replies from older reads cannot replace newer data. Editors keep their
own draft copies, preserving autosave and conflict handling. Paired-host history
and media remain uncached because those peers do not announce changes locally;
MCP lists with a pending sign-in are refreshed because sign-ins can expire.

4. Read likely destinations ahead (#79).
After the page settles, a two-read scheduler warms running agents' context and,
where allowed, Integrated transcripts. Hovering or focusing a tab and opening the
project switcher prioritise likely destinations. Hidden tabs read nothing.
Automatic mode allows broader transcript prefetch on fast links, limits mobile
reads, and skips transcripts on slow links or data saver. Settings → Appearance
→ Prefetch conversations offers Automatic, Always and Never per device.

Transcript prefetch uses a read-only path: it cannot change agent activity,
deliver held messages or record limits. It omits command and model lists (about
38 KB of a 39 KB empty Claude snapshot). Every queued read rechecks eligibility
and budget before running, with in-flight transcripts counted against the budget.
It fills only free conversation cache slots. Paired-host transcripts load only
when opened, avoiding side effects on older hosts; their context can be prefetched.

Measured figures

These are medians from browser before/after runs against isolated servers behind
a latency proxy, with the context panel open. RTT is network round-trip time.
Each phase compares against its own preceding main revision; the figures are
not a single 0.2.3 → 0.2.4 benchmark and must not be added together. They describe
navigation/content readiness, not agent inference speed or terminal throughput.

Phase 1 — main versus #72:

Navigation, content ready	31 ms RTT	150 ms RTT
TUI agent revisit	196 → 78 ms	457 → 204 ms
TUI agent first visit	196 → 80 ms	488 → 200 ms
Project revisit (TUI run)	280 → 106 ms	523 → 234 ms
Integrated agent revisit	121 → 57 ms	468 → 201 ms
Integrated agent first visit	204 → 158 ms	477 → 349 ms
Project switch onto an Integrated agent	192 → 85 ms	399 → 238 ms

Integrated switches dropped from 8 to 4.5 RPCs per switch. The Integrated run's
shared-terminal banner appeared in 18 of 75 navigations on main and none on the
branch. Real Claude Haiku, Codex gpt-6-luna and OpenCode glm-5.3-flash agents were
exercised over seven tiny turns; launch, composition, streaming, tool calls and
transcript retention passed, with no wrong-session context in 300 navigations.

Phase 2 — main 305ba9e versus #75:

Navigation, content ready	31 ms RTT	150 ms RTT
Todos page revisit	51 → 33 ms	167 → 25 ms
Scratchpads page revisit	40 → 24 ms	160 → 20 ms
Agent revisit	72 → 72 ms	189 → 209 ms
Project revisit	89 → 88 ms	205 → 234 ms

All four eliminated their context RPC (1 → 0). Agent/project switching did not
improve in this phase: phase 1 already painted cached context, while terminal
snapshots and git remained. Panel/list writes dropped from two RPCs to one;
at 31 ms they appeared about 20–40 ms later while awaiting the revision patch,
and at 150 ms were slightly faster. Cross-project isolation, two-browser updates,
reconnect and restart checks passed.

Phase 3 — main 688a932 versus #77, 150 ms RTT:

Navigation	Before → after
History page revisit	388 → 32 ms
Conversation first visit	388 → 186 ms
Todo reopen	188 → 34 ms
Scratchpad reopen	187 → 22 ms
Routines page revisit	183 → 13 ms

Revisits across all six tested pages made none of the cached reads. Agent/project
switching and page-load differences were within noise. Checks covered autosave,
two-browser edits, relations, a 2,500-line scratchpad, imports and reconnects.

Phase 4 — main 57fdbac versus #79:

Navigation	31 ms RTT	150 ms RTT
Integrated first visit, transcript visible	74 → 30 ms	200 → 28 ms
Project first visit, content ready	287 → 203 ms	487 → 326 ms

A TUI first visit made zero session-context calls instead of one. Prefetch moved
34.7 KB on the wire in the first 30 seconds, then went quiet. That measurement
predates the transcript-only payload trim; no post-trim byte figure was measured.
A write in another project refreshed only that project, once, about three seconds
later. Connection/preference gates and no unrequested terminal subscription or
control changes were checked in-browser. Non-eviction was covered by unit tests;
the browser fixture had fewer Integrated agents than cache slots.

Remaining limits: a prefetched Integrated transcript can paint while its loader
still awaits a live snapshot. diff_current still invokes git on switches, and
normal Claude snapshot reads still carry the model/command lists. Terminal observer
subscriptions, Claude token batching and removing conversation snapshots from the
socket's serial queue remain future work; this release does not claim those gains.

Other changes

• Integrated Claude, Codex and OpenCode activity follows active turns, background
  agents and permission waits more reliably, including reconnects and tool calls
  (#71, #78).
• Claude and Codex use Patterm-managed remote MCP authentication. Codex's header
  helper no longer waits on a slow OAuth refresh
  (#68, #70).
• The assistant can list, create and rename projects through its own MCP tools
  (#73).
• wait_for_pattern returns immediately and delivers a durable callback for a
  literal match, process exit or timeout, keeping the agent responsive
  (#74).
• Removed the subagent panel shadow and the white flash while html_render
  pages load (#69, #76).

Platform support

Linux x64 and arm64 are the supported release platforms.

macOS and Windows desktop builds are experimental, including when attached
to a stable release. They pass automated build checks but still need hands-on
testing with agent CLIs; bugs and platform differences may remain.

• macOS: Apple Silicon (macos-arm64) and Intel (macos-x64) app zips.
  These builds are ad-hoc signed, not Apple Developer ID signed or notarized,
  so macOS may block opening them. Install or update with install-macos.sh.
• Windows: a portable x64 zip (windows-x64) and the per-user PowerShell
  installer (install.ps1).
• The background service installer and Tailscale setup are Linux-only.

Each app archive has a matching .sha256 file. Install and sign into your agent
CLIs separately. See the repository README for platform installation details.
