Agent Pet v0.16.4 — Follow Claude plugin progress

Agent Pet v0.16.4 — Follow Claude plugin progress

Claude plugin and MCP tool calls now confirm running status from matching progress records after the monitor reconnects to an unfinished call. Tool results marked as metadata are processed as well, including results that resolve blocking questions. A message containing a tool call cannot also mark the chat completed.

Unrelated progress and late background updates after completion or interruption do not restart the chat. Ordinary plugin calls, results and reasoning remain running until an explicit finish.

This addresses reproduced parser gaps. The externally reported session was not available for replay; Claude versions that do not write progress records still require a new assistant or tool-result record to confirm work after reload.

Includes the 0.16.3 fix for Codex continuing to work while an asynchronous question remains open.

After updating, finish active work and reload existing VS Code windows to load the updated tracker.

Validation: 82 Node tests pass, including synthetic plugin/reload/progress/metadata-result regressions. Two new regression cases fail against the previous parser. VSIX version, target platform, bundled sources and native signature are checked during packaging.

Agent Pet v0.16.3 — Separate work and open questions

Agent Pet v0.16.3 — Show work and open questions separately

Codex can ask a question and keep working. Agent Pet previously treated every unanswered question as a paused chat, incorrectly showing 0 running · 1 waiting.

These chats now keep the running spinner and count, with Running · question pending / Çalışıyor · açık soru var beneath the title. Blocking questions and finished turns with unanswered questions still show Waiting for your reply.

The attention filter includes open questions during work. Optional notifications still announce a new question, without repeating it when the same turn finishes. Partial replies and reload safeguards are preserved.

After updating, finish active work and reload existing VS Code windows so they publish the separate question state. The new helper cannot infer it from older snapshots.

Validation: Node regression tests for asynchronous/blocking questions, partial replies, completion, cancellation and reload; native label/counter/filter/notification tests and a rendered sample panel; VSIX version, platform and signature checks.

Agent Pet v0.16.2 — Keep ongoing turns running

Agent Pet v0.16.2 — Keep ongoing turns running during silence

A chat that is still working could show No recent activity after 60 seconds without a new log entry. Long reasoning and tool calls can be silent for longer than that.

Confirmed, unfinished turns now keep their spinner and advancing elapsed time. The fix covers the shared Codex/Claude monitor and native panel. Connected older windows reporting the former quiet state are displayed correctly by the updated helper too.

Reloaded windows still need new progress before claiming a chat is running. Lost window connections and unreadable/removed session files become No update. Explicit completion and interruption records still control the final status.

The native helper updates without forcing a window reload. Existing windows load the updated monitor after a safe reload when active work finishes.

Validation: 77 Node tests including long silence, missing source recovery, reload, interruption and Claude transitions; native lifecycle/status tests; package and signature checks.

Agent Pet v0.16.1 — Open setup automatically

Agent Pet v0.16.1 — Open the setup guide automatically

The first-run guide now opens directly in the first focused VS Code window. No notification click is required.

Users who missed the 0.16.0 notification and have not completed setup get the guide too. It opens only once across windows and subsequent launches. Close the tab whenever you want and reopen it with Agent Pet: Get Started. Completed setups are skipped; failed initial display can retry.

Existing windows need to load the updated extension before this behavior takes effect. Finish active work before reloading.

Validation: Node regression tests covering missed notification migration, simultaneous windows, focus changes, completed setup and failed guide initialization; native build and VSIX manifest/signature checks.

Agent Pet v0.16.0 — Setup, connections and diagnostics

Agent Pet v0.16.0 — Setup, connections and diagnostics

A new support screen helps you set up Agent Pet and understand what is connected.

• Get Started: a short, dismissible guide to agent extensions, the desktop companion and optional waiting notifications.
• Connections: workspace/window heartbeats, tracking and chat counts, independent of chat completion status.
• Diagnostics: loaded extension, installed extension and running pet versions; notification permission, readable agent-record directories and recent helper/support error codes.
• Copy diagnostics: a local JSON report without chat text, project names, file paths or raw exception messages.

Open Agent Pet: Get Started / Connections / Diagnostics in the Command Palette, or Connections & diagnostics in the paw menu. English and Türkçe are supported.

After updating, finish active chats and reload existing VS Code windows to load the new commands and connection protocol. The desktop helper uses the existing automatic handover mechanism.

Apple Silicon · macOS 26+ · Regular release. Marketplace upload of agent-pet-marketplace-0.16.0-darwin-arm64.vsix is pending.

Validation: Node regression tests, native support routing and health checks, rendered webview interaction checks in English/Türkçe and at narrow width, and packaged manifest/signature checks.

Agent Pet v0.14.2 — Delete the uninstalled macOS app

Agent Pet v0.14.2 — Delete the uninstalled macOS app

Uninstall now closes the pet and physically deletes that installation’s Agent Pet.app bundle. The previous version only stopped the process and left file deletion to VS Code.

The running helper cleans up its own bundle after VS Code marks that exact version removed from all profiles. The extension also cleans up a removed app that was already quit, and the official uninstall hook covers final cleanup. If neither component is running, cleanup follows VS Code’s hook schedule.

Other installed versions, shared preferences and conversation files are preserved. Normal Quit, closing VS Code and window reloads do not uninstall the app. Cleanup validates the package identity and refuses redirected bundle paths.

Marketplace upload of agent-pet-marketplace-0.14.2-darwin-arm64.vsix is pending.

Validation: 68 Node tests; native UI and deletion guards; real native app-directory deletion and repeated hook cleanup; preservation of the newer app and normal-disconnect files; process handover; packaged VSIX uninstall hook in an isolated CLI installation.

Agent Pet v0.14.1 — Helper update and uninstall cleanup

Agent Pet v0.14.1 — Helper update and uninstall cleanup

The macOS companion now follows its extension's lifecycle. An installed update replaces the older running helper; removing the extension from all profiles closes the removed helper even if an old window still sends snapshots.

Closing every connected VS Code window closes the helper after a reconnect grace period of about one minute. Other connected windows and normal window reloads keep the shared panel available. The uninstall hook stops and unregisters only its own package, preserving a newer installed app.

The app lives inside the extension, with no separate Applications-folder copy. VS Code handles final file deletion and can defer cleanup until restart. Pet preferences are retained by Agent Pet; no conversation files are deleted by this change.

Marketplace upload of agent-pet-marketplace-0.14.1-darwin-arm64.vsix is pending. Existing installations receive these protections after installing this version; native handover does not require interrupting active chats.

Validation: 64 Node tests; native UI checks; isolated native uninstall/disconnect tests; real macOS process handover; VSIX contents, matching native version and ad-hoc signature checked.

Agent Pet v0.14.0 — Original companions

Agent Pet v0.14.0 — Original companions

Meet Byte the robot, Miso the cat and Fern the sprout. All three are original geometric drawings included under MIT, with typing, waiting, sleeping and completion reactions.

Agent Pet no longer reads pet artwork from Codex. Older windows cannot reintroduce external character catalogs or file paths; removed selections fall back to Byte. Codex and Claude Code chat tracking continues as before.

Current README images, GIFs and the feature video have been re-rendered with these original characters. The repository also contains the media rendering tools.

The native helper remains ad-hoc signed, without Developer ID signing or Apple notarization. Marketplace upload of agent-pet-marketplace-0.14.0-darwin-arm64.vsix is pending.

Validation: 59 Node tests; native UI checks including original pet selection and legacy snapshot rejection; visual inspection of the characters and regenerated media.

Agent Pet v0.12.0

Agent Pet v0.12.0 — Regular release

Agent Pet now uses the regular release channel. Marketplace packages no longer carry the prerelease flag, and the installation documentation no longer asks users to install a preview.

This version includes all 0.11.4 fixes:

• Hide pet, Hide panel and Hide all work independently, with menu labels refreshed immediately.
• A running desktop helper detects installed updates and switches to the newer version without interrupting chats.
• Visibility preferences, workspace groups and live chat snapshots are preserved.

Existing 0.11.4 users can receive the higher 0.12.0 release through VS Code updates. Users on 0.11.3 or earlier need one window reload to activate automatic helper handover. Active chats continue to postpone extension-host reloads.

Apple Silicon · macOS 26+ · English / Türkçe.

Marketplace upload is pending. Upload agent-pet-marketplace-0.12.0-darwin-arm64.vsix using the existing extension’s Update action.

Agent Pet v0.11.4 — Automatic panel handover

Agent Pet v0.11.4 — Replace the running panel after updates

Once this version is active, the desktop panel checks for an installed Marketplace update every five seconds. It closes the older helper and opens the new version without interrupting chats. Visibility preferences, workspace groups and the live window snapshots are preserved. A deliberately quit helper stays closed.

Repeated starts reuse the existing helper. Older VS Code windows cannot downgrade a newer running helper, and a missing replacement executable leaves the working helper running.

First upgrade: Users on 0.11.3 or earlier still need a window reload to activate this mechanism. The extension host continues to use the safe idle reload with a 15-second countdown; active chats are not forcibly reloaded.

Includes the independent Hide pet / Hide panel / Hide all controls and menu label fixes from 0.11.1–0.11.3.

Apple Silicon · macOS 26+ · English / Türkçe · Prerelease.

Validation: Node regression tests and a real macOS process/lock handover test, including background detection during active chat snapshots, hidden state preservation, old-process termination, and a stale second window.

Marketplace upload is pending. Use agent-pet-marketplace-0.11.4-darwin-arm64.vsix instead of the previous package.
