Release Ghostties v0.1.0-beta.16 · seansmithworks/ghostties

The tasks sidebar is now fully wired up, with six status zones, Linear preset support, and a complete gt CLI.

Added

Six-zone task sidebar — Inbox, Backlog, Running, Needs You, Review, and Graveyard lanes are all live. Done tasks no longer appear in Inbox.
Linear Sync preset — a "Linear Sync" template in the New Session picker pre-configures the MCP server with your Linear workspace. Source dots show indigo for Linear-sourced tasks, sage for shell tasks.
set_task_fields MCP tool — agents can write back worktree path, PR URL, branch name, and PR state directly into task files.
Sessions tab — sidebar now has a recents tab showing recent terminal sessions alongside tasks.
New Session template picker — flyout menu now shows available agent templates when starting a new session.
Sidebar View submenu — Sessions/Projects toggle moved to the View menu and grouped with other sidebar layout options.
Wordmark animation — assembly/erosion loop for empty terminal panes. Off by default; opt in with defaults write com.seansmithdesign.ghostties ghostties.emptyStatePhysics.wordmark -bool true.
gt smoke — new subcommand for automated task-state verification.
Claude Code template default — new sessions default to the Claude Code agent template.
install-gt.sh — installer script for the gt CLI with PATH setup guidance.

"Check for Updates" visibility — progress and result messages now appear correctly in hidden-titlebar and tabbed windows (previously only showed in standard windows).
Auto-update channel — channel is now user-controllable via defaults write com.seansmithdesign.ghostties ghostties.autoUpdateChannel beta (or stable / tip). Previously hardcoded.
gt done speed — done command is noticeably faster with cleaner progress output.

Suppressed 1Hz sidebar re-render when session states haven't changed — reduces CPU overhead while Claude is running.
