v0.159.0 (2026-09-30)

Self-hosted: before upgrading the server, make sure every machine that runs agent sessions has ud 0.158.0 or later. From this release every agent session starts with a short line and reads its brief from disk; an older ud cannot read it. No new database migrations. Details under "Upgrade Notes".

Improvements

  • Agent sessions always start the short way. The agent is handed one short line and reads its full brief from disk, instead of having the whole brief pasted into its terminal. This used to be the opt-in instance setting workspace.promptDelivery = short-string; it is now the only behaviour, and the setting is gone.
  • Claude Code and Codex sessions no longer get a stray go after their first message. The short line is passed on the command line and submitted as it is.
  • A session that never reads its brief is reported, not silent. If the agent has not confirmed reading its brief within 60 seconds, the short line is sent again; after 120 seconds a reply is posted in the thread that started the session.

Upgrade Notes (self-hosted)

  • No new database migrations.
  • The workspace.promptDelivery setting is removed, and every agent session now uses the short line. On every machine that runs agent sessions, upgrade the desktop app or CLI daemon, and the ud on its PATH, to 0.158.0 or later before you upgrade the server. An older ud ignores the flag the short line asks for, so the agent does not receive its instructions; the server notices the missing read receipt and, after 120 seconds, posts a reply in the thread that started the session. A value already stored for workspace.promptDelivery (either value) stays in the database and is ignored; the upgrade does not fail because of it.

The CLI is yours to upgrade: publishing a release does not change the ud on anybody's machine. There are three routes; use exactly one.

npm i -g @oatnil/ud # installed via npm
brew update && brew upgrade ud # installed via Homebrew

If your ud came from the desktop app, neither line above is your route: install the new desktop app. The app's "Install ud CLI" makes /usr/local/bin/ud a symlink into the app bundle, so the ud you run is the one the app ships.

Then confirm it took: ud --version must print udctl version 0.159.0.
