v1.5.0

1.5.0 - 2026-06-11

• v1.5.0 opens the 1.5 minor line: the fullscreen Agent workspace remains the primary user surface, Agent-local behavior, isolated Agent Knowledge, connected-host operator integration, explicit side-effect boundaries, and release hardening from 1.3.x and 1.4.x all stay in force. This release replaces the split-pane panel system with the Activity sidebar, rebuilds first-run onboarding around readiness, and adds local calendar, direct email, hardware-aware model recommendations, and skill import/export.
• Replaced the 21-panel split-pane system with a single Activity sidebar. Live activity, process output, and runtime state now surface in one consistent lane instead of stacked panels; the footer was slimmed and tool calls show human-readable labels.
• Rewrote the workspace Home as plain-language lanes and merged duplicate categories. The slash-command long tail moved behind /commands so the prompt surface stays focused on what users actually run.
• Added a While you were away digest on return plus a live Coming up sidebar fed by the local calendar, so upcoming commitments stay visible without asking.
• Rebuilt first-run onboarding around a readiness model: setup steps sequence themselves by what is actually configured, the flow can be resumed midway, and a completion recap shows what was set up. The first screen leads with a working path, the first-run model picker opens with a hardware-fit recommendation, and a plain-language hint appears in conversation while setup is incomplete.
• Competitive parity wave: local calendar support, direct email send and read over SMTP and IMAP with TLS or STARTTLS, hardware-aware model recommendations, and automatic skill drafts.
• Skills now import and export in the open skill standard. Exports are lossless, and skills discovered from imports stay disabled until explicitly enabled.
• Hardened the email and calendar surfaces: SMTP and IMAP commands validate addresses and reject control characters, STARTTLS upgrades verify no data arrives before negotiation completes, and calendar parsing is stricter about malformed input.
• Reliability fixes across the TUI: closed a text-wrap hang, made wide-character rendering consistent, fixed webhook notifier reuse, routed the benchmark editor to its real action, and made command failures surface user-visible errors everywhere.
• Release and verification hygiene: the operator token is redacted from release artifacts, the coverage ledger reports honest numbers, release evidence is checked for existence, and operator-facing copy passes a plain-language gate.
• Test suite: 7931 pass / 0 fail / 2 skip across 554 files.
