PMD Agents 0.5.1

PMD Agents 0.5.1

First public GitHub release · 12 October 2026 · Windows x64.

PMD Agents displays local coding-agent activity in an Explorer widget and, on
Windows x64, an always-on-top companion when its owning VS Code window is
minimized. The full guild includes the activity journal, connections and team
selection. This release includes the 0.5.0 widget functionality.

• First-run installation, privacy, troubleshooting, update and removal guides.
• Proprietary original-code licence permitting installation and use; third-party
  material retains separate terms.
• Version-derived packaging, strict file inventory and SHA-256 checksum.

Requires local Windows x64, VS Code 1.109+ and Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime.
The VSIX contains no game artwork. Choose a separate compatible pack that you are
permitted to use; without it the animated scene is unavailable. Python is needed
only for the existing source-based starter-pack importer, not VSIX installation.
This is an unofficial fan project. Publication and the original-code licence do
not grant rights to third-party artwork or branding; their terms remain separate.

Live Codex transcript and terminal observation have been tested locally. Live
native Claude coverage and remote/non-Windows hosts remain unverified. Local
transcript observation is enabled by default in trusted workspaces and can be
disabled in settings. Initial desktop-window binding needs a visible status bar.

Install through Extensions: Install from VSIX, then reload all open windows.
Compare Get-FileHash .\pmd-agents-0.5.1.vsix -Algorithm SHA256 with the published
.sha256 file. See the setup guide.

Validation: 63 focused source tests, typecheck, package inventory and byte checks,
and an isolated-profile VSIX installation covering the sidebar, full guild,
native window binding, synthetic transcript events and real terminal activity.
Existing 0.5.0 browser/native lifecycle checks cover the unchanged runtime.
