What's New in 5.1.1
Highlights:
- A small version number and a big fix list. Twelve fixes, three of them silent failures you had no way to notice: Claude sessions indexed after 2026-08-21 were listed but returned nothing from search, Claude spend read about a sixth low in the
$unit, and aQWEN_HOMEset for something unrelated emptied the Qwen list. All three looked healthy from the outside, which is why they lasted. If you run Claude or Qwen, take this update.
Features:
- Session Runway can read your week. A new
Wkunit answers "how fast is this session eating my weekly quota", in percentage points per hour — per session, not one account-wide rate split up. It learns the conversion from usage already on disk, so a figure appears seconds after launch instead of hours later. Idle sessions readquiet, which also replaces "flat" in the5h,tkand$units. - Claude's model-scoped weekly limit is visible. Claude reports a third window beside the 5-hour and weekly ones — a weekly budget for one model — and Agent Sessions could not see it at all. The menu-bar dropdown now names it ("Wk Fable: 70% · resets …"); the compact meter's
Wkstays the all-models number.
Bug Fixes:
- Claude sessions are searchable again. Since 2026-08-21 they were listed with the right title, project and dates, but searching their text returned nothing — and nothing said so. 256 sessions on the development machine, nine days' worth. Picked up on the first launch after updating.
- Claude spend was understated by about a sixth in the
$unit. Anthropic charges a cache write by how long it is kept alive — 1.25x input for five minutes, 2x for an hour — and every write was billed at the cheaper rate, while Claude Code almost only writes hour-long ones. Fast mode is priced at its own rates now too, rather than silently at half. - A
QWEN_HOMEyou set for something else no longer empties your Qwen list. Qwen 0.14.x ignores that variable and reads~/.qwen; the app only ever looked where it pointed. It falls back now, and resume follows the same root — so those sessions come back listed and resumable. - A Qwen record Agent Sessions does not recognise says so. Types outside the four it knew were dropped without a trace, so a newer build's transcript could quietly lose turns. They surface as a note now, and the kinds Qwen 0.22 writes render as themselves — including two carrying real conversation.
- The weekly burn-rate figure is no longer thrown off by a countdown. When Claude's usage falls back to the terminal, the reset reads "in 4h 28m" rather than a date, and every refresh stored that as a new week — about a third below the truth. Readings are keyed only on a stated date now.
- Weekly Session Runway drops stale calibration immediately. A same-process price refresh or weekly-limit shape change can no longer keep serving a conversion learned under the previous scope, and a failed scan from an account you switched away from cannot delay the new account's scan.
Reminder: What You Got in 5.1:
- Devin CLI and fx join the lineup. Two more coding agents put their local history in the same searchable list as the rest, each with a Settings pane and a resume command. Both were contributed and are stewarded by @thedavidweng — the first outside test of the adapter recipe 5.0 documented.
- Devin CLI sessions. Browsing, search, filtering, Analytics and transcripts over Devin's shared SQLite store, with binary and storage-root controls in Settings.
devin --resume <id>, verified on CLI 3000.5.20 (report). Active sessions only; no image extraction yet. - fx (vercel-labs) sessions. Per-session checkpoints under
~/.fx/sessions, with every kind of turn rendered — background commands, auto-compaction summaries, interrupted turns.fx --resume <id>, verified on fx 0.0.5 (report). No image extraction yet. - Weekly Session Runway reflects recent quota movement. Its
%/haveraged everything burned since the weekly reset, so one heavy day set the pace for days; it measures the burn between recent same-reset readings now, and showstk/huntil it has one.
