@shivadeore111-design shivadeore111-design released this 03 Jul 14:55

This release turns Aiden from an assistant you watch into one you can trust to work on its own.

Durable autonomy

  • Aiden keeps a job-card for every task and verifies its work is actually done before saying so — no more claiming success it didn't achieve.
  • Tasks survive a restart: if Aiden is interrupted mid-job, it resumes where it left off, and never re-sends a message or repeats an action it already completed.
  • Smart retries: it retries recoverable failures (network blips) and stops to ask on the ones it can't (permissions).

Evidence-required subagents

When Aiden delegates to a helper, the helper must return real proof (a file, a test result, an id) — not just a claim. Aiden re-checks the proof before trusting it. A helper that claims work it didn't do is caught.

Trust dial

Choose how much Aiden does on its own: Observer (watch only), Assistant (acts, asks on risky steps), Partner (acts freely within limits you set). Destructive actions and spending always ask, even at the highest setting.

Glass dashboard + operator TUI

  • Watch Aiden work live: a status bar (model, tokens, budget, elapsed) and tool steps with live timers.
  • Talk to it while it works: queue a follow-up, redirect it mid-task, or interrupt one task cleanly — and see what you type as you type it.

Polish

  • aiden -q "..." one-shot mode for scripting (safe by default).
  • Discord channel setup directly in the terminal.
  • Central, cross-platform path handling.
  • CI green across Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Local-first. Windows-native.
