Argus v1.0.0 — first stable release

Argus is a local-first hook control center for AI coding agents: manage hook
configs with one-click presets, test any hook in the built-in simulator before
a live agent fires it, share and install community hook scripts, and observe
every Claude Code / Codex session in real time. Runs as a single local binary —
no cloud, no external infra.

Highlights

  • Hook management — structured + JSON editors for Claude Code and Codex with one-click presets.
  • Hook simulator — run any hook command or ~/.argus/hooks script against a synthetic payload and inspect stdout/stderr/exit code before a real agent fires it.
  • Community script sharing — browse, install, and (via optional GitHub login) publish hook scripts to the public registry; back up your collection to a private gist.
  • Observability — live event feed (SSE), dashboard stats, usage breakdown, projects/sessions explorer, diagnostics.
  • Lean storage — raw_payload is stored gzip-compressed; the Diagnostics page has a Compact database action (gzip-backfill + VACUUM) and optional retention (ARGUS_RETENTION_DAYS / ARGUS_MAX_EVENTS, off by default).

Security posture

Binds to 127.0.0.1 by default; cross-site browser requests to sensitive and
state-changing endpoints are rejected. Captured data (prompts, diffs, tool
output) never leaves the machine. ARGUS_ALLOW_REMOTE=1 opts into non-loopback
bind and is unsupported for public exposure — the hook simulator and reveal
endpoints run local commands.

Upgrade notes

Migrations run automatically on first start. Argus refuses to open a database
created by a newer version. No manual action required.
