Brainstrike 0.1.0-beta.6

New

• Subagents run on the model they choose, and every model shows its maker

Fixes

• Every minimatch the build and lint tools load is 11, past the globparts denial of service
• A thread's folder is only the one it chose, so asking without a folder works
• A tab opened while the agent host is still starting survives quit and relaunch
• A subagent's turn no longer shows a "Changes didn't load" error

Performance

• The packaged MCP task restart spec settles its task tool in 9 s, not 45 s (51.2 s → 15.0 s)
• Agent-host's grants model runs its 100 generated cases in four files (lane 35.3 s → 26.4 s)

Brainstrike 0.1.0-beta.5

New

• A message sent to a running agent shows at once, faded until it reads it
• Steer sends the message into the running run, and run/steer is gone
• A person's message to a working agent is a notice read at its next step
• A running thread takes its notices at the next step
• A worker's report and a command's exit are one notice, taken along the branch
• Open one of a worktree's latest commits from the source picker
• Help opens the privacy policy and terms
• Mark files viewed, open a diff line in its file, and copy a file's path or patch
• Revert a turn's files whole, and show its moved files as renames
• Stage, unstage and revert per hunk, file and view (ADR-0036)
• Core.idle(thread) joins a thread's work, so wake tests assert "nothing woke" without polls
• Pick light and dark code themes separately, with a diff preview
• A turn shows its changes in the chat, and file approvals diff the real file (ADR-0036)
• Code font size, custom code font, transcript size and width, motion
• The Changes diff draws git's own patch with @pierre/diffs (ADR-0036)
• A command session that ends by itself wakes the thread that started it

Fixes

• A turn's revert sees a file where its folder was on Windows, and the Windows nightly's new tests pass
• Keep the context project tree when the workspace sits under an ignored-named folder
• Name a subagent's internet request at the root, not as a question
• Polish backlog second pass (contrast, menus, code blocks, settings errors)
• A turn keeps one checkout: no worktree switch beside live workers, and a fork ends the turns it leaves
• A Stop's cleanup no longer holds other threads, and a continuation never starts in a stopped turn
• A turn Stop ends the whole turn, and every run reads one committed turn
• Stop during a run's end no longer hangs the host, and input typed as a worker finishes is never lost
• Polish pass across focus, theming, navigation, settings, workspace panes, conversation and composer
• Workers report decisions to the parent, and a subagent's outcome cannot pass as the user
• A bad notification reconnects instead of freezing a view, and subscriptions are named by id
• Runs finish the asked-for outcome, each worker result reaches the parent once, and a worktree switch keeps its turn
• A wake names every worker still running, and command-session refusals reach the model
• Drop vacuous propertyNames from model-facing tool schemas
• Workers' results reach the parent, and the parent names workers by call sign
• Session approvals stick, worktrees mount fast, subagents show their colours, commands group
• A damaged thread no longer stops the other threads of its resource
• A subagent keeps the root's explicit denies under Full access
• Subagent output limits are Off by default, and host warnings reach the log
• A browser page's address bar keeps what was typed when focus leaves it
• Main's host connection outlives the host it closes, so quit never loses a request

Performance

• Desktop E2E shards rebalance from current file times (heaviest shard 299 → 213 test-s)
• Host-capabilities integration lane runs the standalone host suite on five workers (37.7 s → 20.1 s)
• Host-capabilities integration lane runs the standalone host suite on five workers (37.7 s → 20.1 s)

Brainstrike 0.1.0-beta.4

New

• Closing the last window keeps Brainstrike and its runs going in the tray
• Explorer search streams from the host's live ripgrep, not the index
• Open Folder replaces the open folders; Recents switch
• Suno joins the MCP catalog as a one-click OAuth install
• Worktrees leave the folder list; the Explorer shows the thread's checkout
• A worktree searches its repository's index, and the worktree index opt-in goes (ADR-0034, BST-2420)
• Right-click opens a native Copy, Cut and Paste menu; Edit follows the platform; ⌘/Ctrl+= zooms in
• Launch logs a startup timeline, and the chat chunk stops carrying CodeMirror Merge
• Tool input deltas stream as telemetry, not committed rows
• The app's top row is the macOS title bar
• Updates arrive while the app stays open, with Check for Updates… and Restart to update
• A command's approval says when it would run with no sandbox
• Packaged builds load only their own app.asar, with Electron's fuses flipped
• The app ships its third-party notices under Help › Open-Source Licenses
• Settings › Updates can turn beta updates on or off
• A crash leaves a local minidump the thread debug pack lists
• Native menus with Help, Settings… and an About panel
• Give macOS the Liquid Glass app icon
• Pretty-print tool call arguments and results

Fixes

• Worktree threads reopen with their repository folder and checkout chip
• Threads reopen with their folders as they were left
• A file tab names its folder's one status instead of spinning on "Connecting folder…"
• Thread search answers around a thread whose history cannot be read
• No toast for a thread folder that stays disconnected; time thread loading
• Stop the log noise and false failures from a smoke-test session
• The restoring card stacks above the tree's sticky header
• Reconnect a thread's folders and end endless file Loading
• The provider cassette host lane runs over a disposable home, so the account's skills no longer reach recorded requests
• A profile from before the host's root registry opens again
• A question the window's own first send started notifies even when the view's replay holds it
• A client that goes away while the host retires it no longer holds the host open
• Second pass on user-facing text and stale doc comments
• Connect signs a URL-only HTTP server in with OAuth, and Settings shows MCP errors as the host wrote them
• A tool that names its app by the flat _meta["ui/resourceUri"] key renders as an App
• Toggle Developer Tools moves to the Developer menu, so shipped builds have no Developer Tools item or shortcut
• Factory reset goes through while the agent host is down
• UI text stops naming PGlite and internal components
• A host with no OS sandbox doesn't offer run_python
• Plain side-by-side diffs and a restore dialog that uses the window
• A batch whose worker crashed during its cache read settles
• A run interrupted by host close names why
• Settings → Workspace shows why a managed directory is refused again
• Unset empty signing variables in the unsigned posture
• Ship the macOS icon precompiled, since actool needs macOS 26
• Review findings on the boundary and login-shell PRs
• A login shell that hangs no longer blocks launch
• Keep the Threads heading readable at the default sidebar width
• Provider verify and OpenRouter metadata failures say what to fix
• The agent browser guard covers sign-in and checkout on pages without a form
• The folder trust prompt says when it cannot read trust, and asks about config a pull added
• Spell the app "Brainstrike" in user-facing text
• Windows toasts read as Brainstrike, and the release launches the installed app
• Put the run verdict beside Copy/Retry and quiet quoted text
• Changes diffs, MCP app results and images keep their box while they load
• A command outside the sandbox asks the person even when commands are allowed
• Keep narrow-panel composer and trust banner inside their cards

Performance

• List threads before Core folds every thread's history
• Serve the subagent tree from the host instead of every child's log
• Serve folders while Core folds its thread history
• Start the state index worker without holding startup
• The host counts tokens off its main thread and stops doing per-run work nobody reads
• The token counter loads when the host learns a thread uses an OpenAI model
• The memory calculator loads when the store opens, and a second send is never refused
• Mastra memory calculation runs on its own worker, so the writer never stalls behind it
• Renderers talk to the agent host over a direct port, with no relay in Main
• Publish each text batch in one call and one transaction
• Source blobs fsync their directory once per request
• Host open reads committed model messages without re-parsing them
• A vector workspace rescan skips unchanged files
• A large checkout queues each changed path once

• Every download and export says where the file went, in a toast
• A cloned folder's agent configuration loads only once trusted
• Shell commands run inside the OS sandbox, and only the person approves an escape
• Comment on Changes diff lines, and the comments join the thread's next message
• The agent clicks, types and picks options on its own browser page
• Selectable interface font, code font and code theme
• Selectable palettes generated from shadcn presets
• Add access modes and auto-review to the composer

Fixes

• The OpenRouter metadata notice shows a refusal's remedy
• The thread debug pack carries the errors the status bar counts
• A missing OpenRouter key is a configuration refusal, not a logged error
• A browser page stays over its tab when the app is zoomed
• The agent cannot send a filled login form, or buy with Enter
• Keep the Controls menu still when a run starts or ends
• Stop disposed thread sessions staying reachable from the client
• Keep the child conversation bar and explorer filters from jumping in
• Narrow nested children from unqueued tools
• Derive nested child steps from the root provider
• Point the composer to Permissions when the policy cannot load; drop agent-debug's missing predev step
• Name an unreadable saved policy and let Settings reset it

Performance

• Deliver a thread's live rows and telemetry in timed batches
• Highlight code blocks as they near the visible area
• Keep thread checkpoint and verdict contexts stable across rows
• Coalesce live reply updates and stop per-token recounts
