Aiden v4.13.0 — "Hand it a job and walk away"
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.
