Prowl 2026.8.5

New

• Agent Profiles now cover the full 15-runtime catalog, with per-runtime controls for model, reasoning effort, approval mode, and Dedicated Home shown only when that runtime actually supports them.

Changed

• prowl handoff now always requires an explicit briefing choice: pass --brief - with agent-authored content, or --no-brief for a context-only handoff. The automatic recorded-session fallback briefing has been removed.

Fixed

• Fixed a crash that could occur when two close-confirmation dialogs tried to appear at the same time.
• Pi's animated braille "Working..." loader is now recognized, so its status no longer gets stuck showing idle or blocked while it's actually working.
• Agent status detection (working/idle/blocked) no longer gets confused by old response text left on screen; only the live status region is checked.
• Tabs and splits launched from the Agents menu now show the correct runtime icon right away instead of a generic terminal icon.

Improved

• Reduced CPU usage from idle-agent monitoring and sidebar updates, and removed tab-bar flicker caused by animated agent titles.
• Uncommitted line-change badges no longer silently undercount large untracked files; when some files can't be counted, the badge shows +N… and explains what was omitted.
