GitView v0.1.5

A features + polish release: a reasoning-effort control, a nicer chat transcript, friendlier model
names, and a cleaner workspace toolbar — and the bridge now drives the Claude Code CLI already on your
host instead of bundling one.

Bridge

  • Chat drives the host's Claude Code CLI. The .deb no longer bundles the agent CLI (the SDK ships
    it as a ~222 MB per-architecture binary); the bridge points at the Claude Code installed on your
    machine, so the package stays ~3.7 MB and Architecture: all. Chat now requires Claude Code
    installed and signed in on the host
    — browsing, diffing, and editing don't. The CLI is
    auto-discovered on PATH (and the usual install dirs); set claude.cliPath in the config to pin a
    specific binary. A missing CLI now fails with a clear, actionable message instead of an opaque one.
  • Reasoning-effort selector. Choose low / medium / high / xhigh / max for the host agent
    at runtime (support varies by model — the CLI silently downgrades an unsupported level). Set a default
    with claude.effort in the config, or change it live from the app. Unset leaves the CLI's own default.

App

  • Chat opens at the newest message, and transcript text is now selectable and copyable — replies,
    code blocks, and tool output. Auto-tail resumes when you scroll back to the bottom.
  • Reasoning-effort dropdown under Model in the Claude-agent dialog.
  • Friendlier names in the pickers — Opus 4.8, Extra high — while the raw model ids / effort
    values remain exactly what's stored and sent.
  • Cleaner workspace toolbar — Files / Chat moved into the Git dropdown's View section (phone /
    e-ink); the branch chip sits in the top bar.

Upgrading

Install the .deb over your existing one — the service restarts itself:

sudo dpkg -i gitview-bridge_0.1.5_all.deb

For chat, make sure Claude Code is installed on the host (which claude).
