Aiden v4.17.0 — Durable Autonomy Kernel + Operator TUI

Aiden v4.17.0

Durable Autonomy Kernel + Operator TUI

Aiden v4.17.0 strengthens durable execution and unifies the terminal operator experience.

Durable execution

• Production entry points share one authoritative Job and Attempt lifecycle.
• Generations, leases, fence tokens, terminal-state guards, and persist-first cancellation reject stale execution.
• Durable input, execution graphs, effect reconciliation, child supervision, and budgets retain recovery-safe state.

Evidence and verification

• Completion is projected from authoritative evidence rather than response prose.
• File mutations require fresh exact readback before verified completion.
• Replay, migration, recovery, and failure-injection coverage protect durable state transitions.

Operator experience

• The canonical Aiden startup identity adapts across terminal widths.
• The boxed composer and separate provider, model, context, and timer strip remain stable while work runs.
• Theme-aware rendering, compact outcomes, durable queued input, /cls, /clear, and clean shutdown improve daily operation.

Platform reliability

• Windows terminal ownership, process cleanup, and ConPTY behavior are covered alongside Ubuntu and macOS CI.
• Node 20 and Node 22 remain covered by the release matrix.

Known non-blocking polish

• /quit output remains more verbose than desired.
• First-run name extraction and onboarding transitions can be polished later.
