Wing v1.0.0

Wing 1.0.0 is the first release under the Wing name: an independent Android client for a self-hosted Hermes server. It brings together the accumulated workspace, conversation, supervision, file-viewing, administration and Android reliability work recorded throughout the development changelog.

A redesigned Android workspace

• Navigate through a shared drawer for Chats, Activity, Connections, App settings and Hermes administration.
• Work across saved connections and server profiles, with profile-scoped chats, projects, drafts and ongoing work.
• Browse paginated chat history, search chats and projects, and filter unread or automated conversations. Activity offers Running and Needs input filters.
• Create projects from discovered host folders or a manually entered path. Rename projects, choose their icons and colors, and delete them through the project controls.
• Rename, pin, archive, mark read/unread, delete and move chats with server/runtime checks. Move an idle conversation directly from its header, including before its first message.
• Use compact, anchored project and chat menus and a floating New chat button that leaves more room for the chat list.
• Return from a conversation to the chat list with Android Back while preserving the draft; top-level destinations share consistent drawer navigation.

Conversation controls and a more capable composer

• Select a model per conversation from searchable provider groups and choose supported reasoning settings. Inspect context usage without dismissing the keyboard.
• Use gateway slash commands, profile skills and command completion, including supported session-specific YOLO and approval controls.
• Steer a running turn or queue a follow-up. Hold the composer arrow, slide to Steer, Stop, Queue or Fork, and release to act; slide away to cancel. The default action during work is configurable.
• Queue text, files or attachment-only messages. Review, pause, resume, edit or delete queued instructions while keeping the separate composer draft and attachments intact.
• Edit queued instructions directly in the composer, save them in place or steer them into the running turn. Queue dispatch pauses during editing and after stopped, failed or uncertain work.
• Edit and resend saved messages with confirmation before replacing history. Regenerate an answer in the current chat or branch from a saved answer into a separate conversation.
• Open a parent chat when Hermes supplies the relationship. Fork validation handles hidden notices and compacted history without rejecting valid branches.
• Answer structured clarifications and supported approval requests. Dedicated sudo, secret and vault forms keep sensitive answers out of ordinary drafts and conversation history.
• Read side-question and background-task results separately from ordinary replies, with the original question, running status and returned result kept together.

A cleaner transcript and visibility into running work

• Read streamed replies with selectable code, copying, narrow-screen Markdown tables, image previews, reasoning, timing and server todo progress.
• Inspect expandable tool calls and results in compact Activity panels. Tools, Tasks and Agents have their own tabs, with goals and background processes under Work.
• Follow thinking, writing, tool progress, input waits and subagent work above the composer. A subtle live highlight respects reduced-motion settings.
• Keep the selected activity tab, expanded details and transcript position as updates arrive or panels open and close.
• Group historical tools and live work, collapse completed agent deliveries and background-process batches, and present server status as compact notices.
• Hide internal task snapshots, compaction continuation reminders and delivery wrappers from the transcript and chat search while preserving saved history and ordinary quoted text.
• Keep memory-review summaries accessible without a persistent oversized card, and show discreet message timestamps.
• Reopen long conversations near the latest user prompt even when tool activity fills the first history page, with manual scrolling and Back to latest preserved.

Attachments, search and output viewers

• Add photos, camera captures and files, or paste supported clipboard images. Staged images show thumbnails and individual remove controls.
• Review Android shares and choose a connection, profile and destination chat before adding them to a draft. Sending remains a separate action.
• Preserve pending shares, captured photos, draft text and staged attachments across navigation, reconnection and app restart, including camera-return recovery.
• Prepare attachments while a reply is running. Upload photos through the image API, retry or remove partial uploads, and keep saved attachment prompts readable during editing and regeneration.
• Find text within recent messages, load older matches and jump to a result with nearby conversation context. Matching tool results expand automatically.
• Browse per-chat Outputs without loading the whole conversation; load older file references and keep existing results available after a failed page request.
• Open images, text, source and formatted Markdown inside the app, including linked Hermes files from Markdown previews.
• Read PDFs with page navigation and zoom; inspect SVG blocks and files with source access; open completed Mermaid diagrams in an offline viewer.
• Play supported audio and video with seeking, preview web links and self-contained interactive HTML, and save or share downloaded file bytes through Android.
• Show clearer file-opening failures and retry options, apply saved proxy authentication to previews/downloads, and keep search navigation accessible beside long results.

Supervision, goals and background work

• Discover ongoing work across profiles, including chats whose delegated agents are still running after the main turn ends.
• Inspect subagents, their recent activity and live output, and use supported targeted Steer or Interrupt controls. Failed steering preserves the guidance for retry.
• View goal status, criteria, verification details, turn limits and waiting reasons; pause, resume or clear goals without losing drafts or queues.
• Add, remove and clear goal criteria, retaining unsaved additions when a request fails.
• Inspect supported session loops, heartbeats and background processes, including recent output and exit status; stop processes or dismiss finished work.
• Keep background-task results attached to the correct chat when events arrive out of order, and retain previously confirmed work when a refresh fails.
• Configure local completion and attention alerts, optional chat-title previews and sample notifications. Observed transitions in unopened chats can also alert while the app remains connected.
• Recover notification setup after temporary startup failures, avoid duplicate chat screens on notification taps, and prioritize the latest tapped destination.

Profile, server and health administration

• Use separate Profile, Server and Health tabs, keeping profile defaults, shared server configuration and runtime observations in their owning scopes.
• Change supported model defaults, reasoning and speed settings; manage auxiliary model assignments and ordered fallback models.
• Edit profile descriptions and SOUL content. Browse retained memory and configure supported memory and context-compression settings.
• Browse and search installed skills, read their full instructions, toggle skills and toolsets, inspect setup readiness and manage supported skill installation and updates.
• Manage supported shared provider accounts and profile overrides with clearer connection, authentication and token-expiry status.
• Inspect MCP connections, test their status and use supported enablement, authentication and removal controls. Browse agent-plugin status and enablement.
• Create, clone configuration, rename and delete supported server profiles, checking the resulting server state.
• Configure supported approval, security and speech settings, with settings search and clear unavailable states for unsupported operations.
• Run connection and profile diagnostics, inspect bounded runtime logs and supported Doctor/security-audit actions, and check backend versions.
• Check and update eligible selected Hermes hosts with explicit confirmation, separate progress and an outcome for each host.
• View server-recorded sessions, API calls, tokens and estimated costs, with supported date ranges and per-model breakdowns.
• Preserve edits after rejected or partial saves, guard duplicate submissions, and keep editor actions reachable above the keyboard.

Wing identity and Android presentation

• Adopt the Wing name, lowercase wordmark, portrait artwork, feather accents and matching launcher and notification icons.
• Introduce the navy splash screen and light/dark first-connection welcome, with an offline connection guide and restore access before setup.
• Apply the Studio design across the app: paired light/dark themes, refined Teal accents, compact controls, consistent feedback and improved native previews.
• Bring the portrait identity into the drawer, empty-chat greeting, settings and assistant badges while keeping short screens scrollable.
• Simplify alert headings to “Finished working” and “Needs your attention,” with optional chat titles underneath.
• Display the public version as 1.0.0, and update repository, support, store and release links for Wing.
• Use the independent com.tarkilhk.wing application identity, with Wing Dev for development builds. Wing starts with separate local data from the inherited Hermes application.

Recovery, privacy and release delivery

• Restore unsent drafts, attachments and queues to their originating connection, profile and chat, including recovery from Chats after a cold restart.
• Refresh execution and pending-input state when reopening a chat; preserve newer composer edits and pause uncertain queued sends for review.
• Mark chats read on Hermes only after successful history loading, and recover saved chat titles in Activity after restart.
• Fix clarification and secure-input forms rejected or omitted under strict gateway request validation, and prevent cancelled skill secret setup from leaving work stuck.
• Prevent Queue from taking attachments while an ordinary send awaits acknowledgement, and stop dashboard redirects from forwarding session credentials to another endpoint.
• Export and restore connection configuration and allowlisted preferences. Backup protection is optional: a passphrase encrypts the export; an unencrypted export contains readable credentials.
• Access the privacy policy offline in App settings, along with first-connection guidance, public feature documentation and known limitations.
• Install signed ARM64, ARMv7 or x86_64 APKs from GitHub Releases, with checksums, archived debug symbols and source/signing metadata.
• Prepare future releases with major, minor or patch version bumps and dated changelog notes. Release automation runs analysis and tests, verifies every APK, and checks uploaded assets before publication.

Scope of this first release

Wing requires a compatible modern Hermes dashboard and gateway; individual controls depend on the server's capabilities. Accepted work continues on Hermes when the phone leaves, but local queues and alerts need a running, connected client. Firebase push delivery and synchronized older answer alternatives are not part of this release. Configuration exports do not back up drafts or the full app state.

The full development changelog retains the detailed intermediate entries. See the v1.0.0 known limitations for recovery, file and backend boundaries.
