Tag: v0.4.0
Commit: d237bfe
Date: 2026-04-25
Previous: v0.3.0
Summary
Major release adding live agent collaboration, the Pulse dashboard, ownership metrics, and a hardened harness with full gate schema.
Changes
Features
- Live collaboration by default —
response_requested: truenow wakes target agents immediately. Agents default to live collaboration; async is opt-in. - Ownership metrics + Pulse dashboard — Hex Pulse (
/pulse/) is live: real-time view of all initiatives, experiments, and agent activity. User-outcome metrics replace vanity signals across all charters. - Initiative enforcement — All BOI specs must link to an initiative or use
emergency: true. Orphaned specs are rejected. - E2E guard — Containerized verification gate. Every foundation change runs 22-test Docker E2E suite before merge.
- Harness v1.1.0 — Loop detection, context files, state locking, full gate schema. Gate validation now enforced on all agent actions with required evidence fields.
Fixes
- Safe
AGENT_DIRresolution across all scripts (no more hardcoded paths) - Binary references use
boi/hex-eventsnames, not paths - Companion upgrade (
hex-agent install --upgrade) upgrades in-place - CLAUDE.md now uses binary names throughout
Quality
- Docker E2E: 22/22 PASS
- gitleaks: clean
- PII scan: clean
