v0.1.4

Tempest v0.1.4

The Orchestration release. Running a fleet of agents is one thing. Knowing which ones need you — and getting there in two keystrokes — is another. This release aims to close that gap.

What's in this release

Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P)

Press Ctrl+Shift+P from anywhere in the app to open a searchable command hub. Type a few characters to filter 13 commands across four sections:

Section	Commands
Navigation	Next Tab, Previous Tab
Layout	Toggle Left Sidebar, Toggle Right Sidebar, Split Side by Side, Split Top/Bottom
Workspaces	Open Project, New Workspace, Close Tab, Broadcast to Agents, Open Message Queue
Appearance	Open Settings, Switch Theme

Arrow keys navigate, Enter runs, Escape dismisses. Each command shows its keyboard shortcut inline. The palette is registered in the keybindings store automatically, so it appears in Settings → Keyboard and is rebindable like any other action.

Sidebar Orchestration

The sidebar now reflects what every session is doing, even when you are not looking at it.

Activity rollup — each project header shows the highest-priority state across all of its sessions: spinner while any session is working, green dot when everything is done, orange dot when any session needs attention. This is visible even when the project is collapsed.

Attention signals — a new attention state sits above done in the priority hierarchy. Two signals transition a session to it: the OSC 1337 RequestAttention sequence (Claude Code's "I'm blocked" signal, emitted when it needs a permission granted) and Gemini CLI's ✋ terminal title. Either produces an orange dot on the session tab, the sidebar badge, and the project header immediately — no tab focus required.

Attention Pill — an orange bell and count appear in the right end of the toolbar whenever any session is waiting. Clicking it triggers the same jump as Ctrl+Shift+A.

Jump to waiting (Ctrl+Shift+A) — a new keybinding that filters sessions with attention or done state, sorts attention-first, finds the next one after the current tab, and wraps around. One keystroke to reach whatever needs you without breaking flow.

Inline quick-create — click + on a project header to expand an autofocus input at the bottom of the session list. Press Enter and a new Claude Code root session opens immediately with that task. Right-click + still opens the full session menu for other agent types and options.

Drag-to-reorder — project groups and individual worktrees within a project are both draggable. A blue border shows the drop target. Order persists across app restarts.

Claude Permission Dialog — Reliability Fix

Claude Code's permission dialog was previously only detected reliably when the tab was focused. Two underlying issues:

1. Regex mismatch — the \b word-boundary anchors failed when Claude Code's PTY rendered the dialog cell-by-cell, compressing whitespace to "1. Yes2.Yes,allow…" with no boundary between option text and the next digit. Fixed with a negative-lookbehind (?<!\d) that matches the compressed form while rejecting digit-prefixed numbers like 31.

2. Split PTY reads — the fingerprint could arrive split across two PTY chunks, neither of which matched alone. Fixed with a 4 KB rolling window that reassembles the tail across reads.

Additionally, markDone() now spawns deferred rechecks at 3 s, 8 s, and 20 s, scanning the session buffer each time. Late-arriving permission dialogs upgrade the green dot to an orange bell without requiring tab focus.

First-Run Onboarding

New installs open a four-page onboarding flow before the main app:

Page	What
Welcome	Tempest wordmark, "The Agentic IDE" tagline, landing screenshot (dark/light adaptive), Get Started
BYOK	Provider grid, API key entry with show/hide toggle, custom model selector — keys stay on-device and power the Chat tab
Agents	All supported CLI agents with ready/missing badges and one-click install links — informational only, no selection required
Configure	Token Intelligence, Agent Isolation, Bypass Permissions, and Co-author toggles with defaults pre-set

onboardingComplete is written to runtime-state.json — survives localStorage clears and WebView resets.

Settings — API Keys

A new API Keys section in Settings manages all nine BYOK provider keys in one place.

Each provider row has three states: no key set (Add key button), key set (masked sk-••••••••3f9a display with show/hide, edit, and delete), and editing (full-width monospace input with Save/Cancel). A brief checkmark flashes on save. Ollama shows a "Local · no key needed" badge instead of an input.

Inline Code Review

The Diff pane now supports inline comments that you can send directly to an agent.

Per-line comments — hover any diff line to reveal a + button. Click to open an inline form below the line. Ctrl+Enter or the Comment button saves. Escape cancels.

Multi-line range — shift-click a second line to extend the selection. All selected rows get an indigo wash and a 3 px continuous bar segment. One square + button appears at the center of the range.

Comment on hunk — a button in the hunk header selects the full hunk as a comment range in one click.

Delivery — the Review Comments Bar appears at the bottom of the pane when pending comments exist. Pick a live agent session and click Send. Comments are written directly to the agent's PTY via write_to_pty — the same path as typing in the terminal — so the agent receives them immediately, not on its next idle cycle.

Comments persist across file switches within a session, scoped by working directory.

MSI Installer + Atlas on npm

Two infrastructure improvements that simplify setup:

MSI installer — Windows users can now install Tempest as a native .msi package alongside the existing NSIS .exe.

Atlas on npm — @usetempest/atlas is now published as an external npm package. A postinstall script stages it from node_modules/ into the Tauri resources directory automatically on every npm install. No manual build, copy, or bundle commands needed — npm install is the only setup step.

UI Polish

A focused round of targeted fixes across the interface:

Prompt picker — moved to a createPortal / position: fixed dropdown anchored by getBoundingClientRect. The toolbar's overflow: hidden no longer clips it. Copy button uses inverted colors with a label-only "Copied" state (no color change). Manage Prompts button changed to ghost style.

Agent tab group chips — hardcoded color: #fff replaced with var(--tempest-bg-base) so chips read correctly in both themes. A close-all × button (12 px, strokeWidth 2.2, matching the tab close button) fades in on hover with a gradient mask on the project name.

Diff comment cards — all hardcoded hex values replaced with --tempest-* CSS variables. Comment text uses var(--tempest-bg-base) for legibility on the yellow background in both themes. Left border accent removed. Hunk header buttons no longer stretch to match wrapped hunk range text (align-items: flex-start).

Tooltips — background changed to --tempest-fg-default, text to --tempest-bg-base, arrow updated to match — crisp inverted chip in both light and dark themes.

Settings keyboard nav — clicking the keyboard shortcut icon was opening Settings on the "appearance" tab instead of "keyboard". Fixed.

Changes tab (Right Sidebar) — +N -N line count badges on each changed file. Expandable inline diffs per file with a loading spinner and diff cache. Wrap Lines and Expand/Collapse All toolbar above the list. Stage All / Unstage All show a spinning loader and disable the button while running.

Codex CLI and Antigravity — added to the agent registry with proper SVG icons. All nine agents sorted alphabetically.

Windows requires WebView2 (bundled automatically when necessary).

What's next

• Database branches: each agent gets its own isolated clone of your production database — run migrations, seed data, and make schema changes without touching the shared database
• Per-agent configuration: flags, environment variables, working directory set once and applied to every session for that agent type
