TurboFlow 4.0.0 Release Notes — The Ruflo Migration

Release Date: March 7, 2026 Previous Version: v3.4.1 (February 2025)


Summary

TurboFlow 4.0 is a complete rebuild. Claude Flow graduated to Ruflo v3.5 after 5,800 commits and a rename. Every package reference, alias, and integration point in TurboFlow has been rewritten to match. The setup script went from 15 steps installing ghost packages to 10 steps installing what actually exists.

Three new systems fill gaps that v3.x never addressed: Beads gives agents memory that survives between sessions, GitNexus gives agents structural awareness of the codebase before they touch it, and native git worktrees give each parallel agent its own isolated workspace.

Known Issues

  • Ruflo's --wizard flag may fall back to non-interactive init in headless environments (DevPod, Codespaces). This is handled by the setup script.
  • The npx ruflo@latest plugins install -n flag may need --name on some versions. The setup script tries both.
  • Beads bd init requires the workspace to be a git repository.
  • GitNexus indexing runs in the background on wt-add — large repos may take a moment.

What's Next

  • v4.1: OpenFang Hands integration — autonomous agents for research, lead gen, social posting, competitor monitoring per business entity
  • v4.2: Open WebUI 4-instance deployment automation (Rackspace Spot)
  • v4.3: Per-entity CLAUDE.md and knowledge base customization

"The tools change. The composition survives. The businesses run."
