This release improves three existing ChatWalaʻau features so you can pick up out-of-band changes without restarting: Skills runtime reload, MCP tools runtime reload, and a Cron job delete confirmation.

Highlights

Skills runtime reload (v0.86.0)

  • A new Reload button in the Skills manager re-reads SKILL.md from your skills directory and rebuilds the agents, so a skill folder you added or removed on disk is applied without a restart.
  • Reload is guarded by a confirmation dialog and the same blocking "rebuilding" indicator as Save.
  • A skill found on disk but not loaded yet (added since the last build) shows a disabled toggle with a "Reload to apply" hint, so you never toggle something the agent does not actually have.
  • The Skills icon is now always shown when reachable, with an empty state (your skills directory + a Reload button) -- so you can bootstrap from zero skills.

MCP tools runtime reload (v0.86.0)

  • A new Reload button in the MCP Tools manager re-parses mcp_servers.jsonc and fully reconnects the servers, then rebuilds the agents -- so a server you added or edited in the config is connected without a restart.
  • Reconnect uses a new-before-teardown sequence (new connections are established and swapped in before the old ones are closed) to keep the change safe for other concurrent users.
  • A server that is configured but not connected yet appears with a disabled toggle and a "Reload to apply" hint until you reconnect it.
  • The MCP icon is now always shown when reachable, with an empty state (your config path + a Reload button).

Cron job delete confirmation (v0.86.0)

  • Deleting a job from the Cron portal now asks for a final confirmation before it is removed, with a blocking indicator until the delete completes.

Included in this release

This release includes implementation work from:

  • v0.86.0 through v0.86.0

Notes

  • No breaking changes. With no operator action the runtime is unchanged: agents are still built once at startup, and Reload is an explicit, confirmed action. The only visible change is that the Skills/MCP management icons are now always shown when reachable (previously hidden when empty). No new environment variable, no new dependency.
  • Internal design management content and architecture control artifacts are intentionally omitted from this release note.

Installation

See the repository README for setup and usage instructions.
