This release streamlines the toolbar layout and improves the accuracy of agent status detection for Claude and Codex.

New

  • prowl agents --json can now include a detection_reason field, showing why an agent was classified as blocked, working, or idle.
  • Added prowl read --source detection, which reads the same screen buffer Prowl uses internally for agent state detection.

Improved

  • Unified the top toolbar across Normal, Shelf, and Canvas modes around Agents + Quick Launch, with the notifications bell surfaced separately. The branch/folder name was removed from the toolbar since it's already shown in the sidebar.
  • Rename Branch moved from the toolbar into the worktree's context menu (and an app-level sheet), keeping its configurable shortcut.

Fixed

  • Codex's directory-trust, hook-review, and first-run sign-in prompts are now correctly detected as blocked instead of being read as idle or working.
  • Fixed Claude's history-search viewer being misdetected as idle after its filter/navigation footer text changed.
