Angel v0.0.6-alpha — boot 400 fix

fix: hard-clear rolling history at boot. orphan tool_use/result blocks left from a crashed prior session no longer 400 the first anthropic call. session always starts clean.

Angel v0.0.5-alpha — Opus 4.7 brain

what's new

model upgrade — orchestrator + boot greeting now run on Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context). materially better at:

• multi-step tool chains (delegate → verify → say with state preserved)
• recursive skill proposal (notices subtler patterns sonnet missed)
• voice consistency across long sessions
• tighter refusal calibration (less overcautious about host actions)

verifier still uses Haiku 4.5 for cheap haiku_review checks (cost-bounded).

also includes from v0.0.4: codex binary resolution fix (no more 'sandboxed' false alarm in packaged dmg).

Angel v0.0.3-alpha — discord cross-surface + refusal fix

what's new

discord is her second body — discord_send and discord_read tools let her post to and pull from discord from inside the desktop room. bot token stays in convex (never on your machine). same nia memory, same personality.md, same person — synced contexts across surfaces.

refusal hallucination killed — she no longer says "i can't open files on your machine" when you ask her to open something. system prompt now explicitly tells her the tools ARE in her toolbox and refusing is a lie. canonical pattern for "open my X" is documented in her head.

better tool error recovery — when open_file fails with "must be absolute path" or "file not found", the error tells her HOW to recover (call find_file_anywhere first). she chains gracefully instead of giving up.

already in v0.0.2 (re-shipping for completeness):

• recursive skills: ~/.angel/skills/{proposed,active,archived}/ + propose_skill tool
• time-aware boot greeting (just_closed → long_absence)
• host superpowers: find/open files, urls, apps + web_fetch + applescript + screenshot + clipboard + bash_unsandboxed + python/node exec
• judge personalization via personalize_for_user
• CMD+SHIFT+A in-app admin window
• AlwaysOn landing section + /admin/heartbeats live multi-source dashboard

Angel v0.0.2-alpha — AGI-tier

what's new

recursive self-improvement — angel writes her own skills. when she notices a recurring pattern she drops a markdown file in ~/.angel/skills/proposed/. you move it to active/ and it loads into her system prompt next session. she gets smarter over time, by herself.

time-aware boot greeting — ~/.angel/lifecycle.json tracks when she last saw you. opening her after 10 min vs 6 hours vs 2 weeks gets you a different voice. "changed your mind?" / "morning. coffee?" / "stranger. you alive?"

host superpowers — she actually moves your machine. find_file_anywhere / open_file / open_url / open_app / web_fetch / applescript (controls Music, Messages, Notes, Calendar) / screenshot / clipboard get/set / notify / say_aloud / bash_unsandboxed / python_run / node_run. say "open my resume" — she finds it and opens it.

judge personalization — personalize_for_user(handle, source='github') pulls a public github profile so her cold-open greeting can reference one specific thing about you.

in-app admin window — CMD+SHIFT+A opens the deployed /admin (timeline / traces / memory / heartbeats) inside the app. no browser tab needed.

rubric story — landing page now has the AlwaysOn section + new /admin/heartbeats live multi-source dashboard.
