v0.6.0 - Master Gardener: agents that direct other agents

Highlights

Master Gardener: link agent terminals as managers and workers (app + plugin, #30)

• Orchestrate graph. The new ⛓ Orchestrate button in the terminal toolbar opens a graph of the garden's open agent terminals. Drag from the ● on one node onto another to make the first its manager. Click ✕ on a line to remove the link. Loops are refused.
• Managers direct workers. Give a manager its goal in its own terminal. Through the plugin's new garden-control MCP server it can list_terminals, send_prompt a task to a worker, and read_output of a worker's screen. Workers report_to_manager, and the report lands in the manager's terminal as a message.
• The app enforces the links. Only linked terminals can reach each other. The app runs a local endpoint (127.0.0.1, random port) and gives each agent terminal its own secret. Plain shells get none, and outside the app the MCP server offers no tools.
• Prompts are typed into the worker like your own, so a busy agent queues them. Terminal titles are now unique per garden ("Claude Code", "Claude Code 2"), so managers can name them.
• Needs the context-garden plugin 0.6.0 or newer in the account (Claude Code). Codex is not wired up yet.

Checklist popup, improved (app, #31)

• Remove items from a checklist, send items to the agent individually, and sent items drop off the list.

Multiple windows (app, #34)

• New window opens an additional, independent app window.

Mixed SSH and HTTPS cloning (app, #35)

• Cloning follows the protocol each source is typed in, so one garden can mix SSH and HTTPS remotes.

Benchmark: forced delegation (mycelium, #2)

• New mycelium-forced-delegation benchmark, where delegation is mandatory.

Fixes

• The terminal folder picker refreshes from the garden every time it opens (#36).
• The launcher's account dropdown refreshes when accounts change (#33).
• Helper processes no longer flash a console window on Windows (#32).
• The home page shows the real app version (#29).

Upgrade notes

• Master Gardener needs plugin 0.6.0. Update the context-garden plugin in the account you start agents with. Terminals without it behave as before.
• Terminal titles are made unique within a garden, so a second terminal of the same agent is renamed (for example "Claude Code 2").

• Refresh the terminal folder picker from the garden each time it opens (#36) (#41)
• Allow mixed SSH and HTTPS cloning: follow the protocol each source is typed in (#35) (#42)
• Add mycelium-forced-delegation benchmark: delegation is mandatory (#2) (#43)

• fix(app): show the real version on the home page (#29)

Full Changelog: 0.5.0...0.6.0

v0.5.0 - A more economical context garden

v0.5.0 - Cheaper subagents, parallel agents in worktrees, shareable facts

Highlights

Subagents that cost less and always finish (mycelium, #27)

• No more resend loops. The delegation gate no longer rejects a thin brief. It fills in what is missing instead: Task: from the description, default Return: and Budget: lines, and matching shared notes as Known:. Only a$
• Hard tool budget per subagent. Each subagent's tool calls are counted. Three calls before the limit, the agent is told to wrap up. After the limit, every call is refused with "reply now", so the agent returns a partial report$
• Budget levels. Choose low, medium, high or extreme with the plugin's new agent_budget option, MYCELIUM_BUDGET, or mycelium budget <level>.
• Specialists instead of general-purpose. Delegated work is routed by task type: scout searches, the new landscaper makes one bounded change, and the new botanist runs builds and tests and diagnoses failures. Add a `Why$
• Less feedback noise. The reminder injected after every Agent call is gone. Notes: blocks are still recorded automatically.

Agent terminals in their own git worktree (app, #26)

• Each agent terminal opened on a repo now runs in its own worktree, <garden>/.worktrees/<repo>/…, on a branch cg/<agent>-<account>-<id>. Several agents can work on one repo without touching each other's files.
• Cleanup. When you close a terminal, its worktree and branch are removed if they hold nothing unsaved. Stale worktrees are swept when you open a garden's terminals. Worktrees with uncommitted changes, or with commits that exis$
• Turn this off in Settings → Terminals.

Checklist popup (app, #24)

• When an agent lists steps for you to do, its terminal header shows a checklist chip. Open it to tick off each step and leave a comment under it.
• Send to agent sends the results back to the agent.
• Ask about this takes you back to the terminal with a reference to the list already typed, so you can ask a question about it.
• To open detected checklists automatically, use Settings → Terminals.

Share facts with others (seedbank + greenhouse, #25)

• seedbank export and seedbank import <bundle> share a repo's curated facts.
• greenhouse export [--repo …] and greenhouse import share a platform's repo cards and notes.
• Each bundle carries a project fingerprint (the origin URL plus the root commit). It is only imported into the matching project unless you pass --force, and it never overwrites newer local content.

Resync a garden's groups (app, #23)

• Resync groups lists the GitHub orgs and GitLab groups a garden was built from again. It offers to clone repos that are new in a group, and to remove repos that left it. Files on disk are never deleted.

Upgrade notes

• Agent terminals open in worktrees by default. Terminals saved before this release still reopen in the repo itself.
• The mycelium gate rewrites briefs instead of denying them. Agent calls may run with an added Known:/Budget: block, or as a different agent type than you asked for. Why delegate: is no longer required.
• The PostToolUse → mycelium hook post-agent hook was removed. If you copied it into your own settings, it is now a harmless no-op. Copied skills should add the new PreToolUse → mycelium hook budget hook (see `skills/m$
