Syrus v0.1.4

Syrus 0.1.4

Highlights

• Walkthrough Videos → Epics: Record or drag in a narrated screen recording; Gemini analyzes it and chat proposes a matching Epic. Includes live red-pen screen annotation, hold-to-draw, and an OCR handoff so Claude can read stills flagged by Gemini. Ships behind a Labs feature flag (default off).
• Coding Mode: A new chat mode that grants the agent write tools against a real checkout, with a live file tree, diff viewer, and an "Open in Coding Mode" take-over workflow for existing Jobs.
• Local Mode: Run agent work against your own machine via a new reverse-tunnel CLI daemon (syrus local), with a take-over workflow, connection status, and a diff panel in chat.
• Test coverage analysis: Parse LCOV/Cobertura reports, annotate diffs with coverage, track trend over time, post PR comments, and auto-schedule coverage-improvement jobs on regressions.
• Main branch health monitoring: Continuous grading of main, automatic landing-queue pause/resume on breakage, auto-repair jobs, and health status/history surfaced throughout the UI.
• Desktop side-by-side channels: Stable and test builds can now be installed and run at the same time, each with its own CLI profile.
• Full i18n pass: English, German, and Latin translations wired across nearly every route and component in the app.

Chat

• New scratchpad: jot down ideas, stash/queue between the scratchpad and the message queue, /scratch slash command, and a Tab-to-stash shortcut.
• New Jobs tab in the chat workspace with a live status feed for jobs linked to the conversation.
• Hover-preview cards for Job/Epic slugs referenced in chat and elsewhere in the app.
• Chat delete flow renamed and reworked: hard delete with worker-side cleanup.
• Coding Mode / Local Mode toggles with mode-aware system prompts and short in-context hints.
• Send media with no accompanying text; walkthrough videos now appear in the media panel.
• Paste-to-attach in the composer, plus subtle flag-gated animations.

Desktop app

• Side-by-side stable/test channels, with an in-app TEST badge and a "Reset Test Setup" option on test builds.
• Install progress bar, redesigned uninstall menu flow, and Docker image cleanup.
• CLI is now actually bundled and installed with the app; "Open in Syrus" focuses the running window.
• DMG installer prefers /Applications and asks before replacing an existing install; hardened against several edge cases.
• Streamed backend-update notice with progress phases and connectivity-aware gating.
• Recording HUD floats in its own draggable window; true OS-level hold-to-draw for the red pen.

Web app

• New marketing website rebuilt on Next.js under website/, replacing the old Astro-based docs site, deployed via GitHub Pages.
• Rebuilt /credentials page around the setup flow's provider cards.
• Coverage card, diff annotations, source hit map, and trend sparkline on jobs and repositories.
• Main branch health status and history shown on the dashboard, repository, and job views, with manual "Check CI Now" and repair actions.
• Epic progress replaced with a colorful progress bar on the dashboard and kanban cards.
• "Create Epic & Start Implementing" gated to developer/admin users.

CLI

• New syrus local reverse-tunnel daemon subcommand powering Local Mode.
• Test-channel builds ship their own CLI profile (syrus-test), derived from argv0.

Docker and deployment

• New queue-partitioning configs (config/queue.compute.yml, config/queue.home.yml) for multi-node deployments.
• Workspace pruning and disk-health reporting are now per-worker; single-host Docker installs keep correct disk-usage banners.
• Admin-configurable global agent-concurrency cap.
• Trimmed Docker build context; bin/deploy updated for the multi-worker split topology — operators running multi-worker setups should review the updated deployment docs before upgrading.

Fixes

• Merge train: rebuild instead of unapproving on stale-base failures, incremental rebase recovery on moved bases, guards against reopening failed trains and against assembling with open unapproved siblings.
• Resume now reopens the failed step instead of spawning a new Manual workflow; latest-workflow selection now uses finish time instead of creation time.
• More resilient stale-run reaping (aware of live progress) and reconciliation of workflows stuck after hard step failures.
• Fixed dropped first character on scratchpad Enter-submit and a scratchpad badge that failed to clear when all items were deleted.
• Fixed the overflow menu opening off-screen on mobile.
• Numerous CI stability fixes (timeouts, stale test setup) for React and RSpec suites.

Internal

• Major refactor of the frontend: the 4,700-line Chat.tsx and 2,300-line JobDetail.tsx were split into focused modules and components; large ChatsController, DashboardPayload, and Job model concerns extracted for readability.
• Consolidated duplicated helpers (withRoutePrefix, formatDate, errorMessage, formatBytes, inputClass) into shared libraries.
• Replaced several type-switch anti-patterns (providers, policies, pending actions) with registry-based dispatch.
• CI: shared reusable _build-app.yml build spine, test-release renamed to test-build, and desktop builds parallelized (~40% faster).
• Dead-code removal across Ruby and TypeScript, plus new test coverage for previously untested models and services.

Syrus v0.1.2

Syrus 0.1.2

Highlights

• New uninstall scripts for a clean, complete removal of Syrus — uninstall.sh and uninstall.ps1 join install.sh/install.ps1, and are also wired into the desktop app's uninstall flow.
• Desktop install progress bar with real-time, JSON-based pull progress reporting during backend image download.
• Automatic recovery from stale GHCR credentials during install/pull, avoiding manual re-authentication.

Full Changelog: v0.1.1...v0.1.2

Syrus v0.1.1

Syrus 0.1.1

Highlights

• Collaboration modes for cross-fork and upstream PRs. Syrus can now review and approve pull requests opened from forks (modes 2b/3), poll for reviewer feedback, and route it back into the job automatically.
• PR feedback handling end-to-end. New comment ingestion, attribution, and classification pipeline detects reviewer feedback on open PRs and feeds it back into the active job, with per-repository feedback_policy (confirm or auto) controlling whether Syrus acts on it automatically or waits for confirmation.
• Grace period & rejection handling. Jobs now track PR rejection signals, enter a grace period before giving up, and can recover automatically if a closed PR is reopened.
• Feature branch lifetime tracking. Post-upstream-PR branches now track iteration count and lifetime, surfaced in job details and timeline.

Desktop app

• Windows: Syrus now installs Docker Desktop for you — unattended, per-user install with license pre-acceptance, removing a major manual setup step.
• Windows install can resume after a reboot, with clearer first-start guidance for Docker and better per-user install detection.
• Onboarding and runtime setup flows updated to support the new Docker Desktop installer and resume behavior.

Web app

• Job detail and dashboard pages surface fork-review PR status, feedback, and branch lifetime/iteration info.
• Repository settings now include configuration for feedback_policy and grace period behavior.

Fixes

• Fixed stale GHCR credential guidance shown when pulling images fails.

Internal

Full Changelog: v0.1.0...v0.1.1

Syrus v0.1.0

Syrus 0.1.0

This release introduces native desktop apps for macOS and Windows, shared repositories with team review policies, full internationalization (English, German, Latin), and a substantially reworked release pipeline.

Highlights

• Desktop apps for macOS and Windows. Install and run Syrus from a native app with first-run onboarding, a GUI-driven local Docker install, backend lifecycle management, tray inbox, auto-update, and a bundled CLI you can install with one click.
• Shared repositories. Repositories can now be shared across a team, with per-membership installation and agent provider settings, epic/job authorization, and configurable review policies (self, two-person, and final-say approvals).
• Internationalization. The web app and backend are fully localized in English, German, and Latin, with a language switcher and a saved per-user locale preference.

Desktop app

• First-run onboarding with GUI-driven local Docker install, runtime setup, port-conflict handling, and an install-failure escape hatch.
• Manage the local backend lifecycle directly from the app; retry image pulls before failing an install.
• Web-container main window with dock, single-instance handling, and DMG polish; one universal macOS DMG.
• Auto-update with a tag-driven release pipeline.
• Tray inbox groups jobs by Epic with checkout; context-aware retry actions and tray badge.
• Automatic tray-token provisioning from the signed-in web session, including on in-page navigations, with stale-token healing.
• Register the GitHub App through the default browser; install the App at add-repository time.
• Connect flow is URL-only with live validation; adopt an existing instance or take over stale offers.
• Windows app: local install via install.ps1, bundled CLI, tray parity, one-click WSL, and Azure Artifact Signing (x64).
• Bundle and one-click install the Syrus CLI; offer CLI + skill install after setup.
• Packaged as Syrus.app with signing-ready electron-builder config and a bundled installer.
• Preferences and setup surfaces compacted; "Run Setup Again" escape hatch.

CLI

• syrus checkout EPIC-N gains a --complete flag.
• Accept job and epic slugs (JOB-N, EPIC-N, bare ID) across all commands.
• New skill command and agent-aware skill offer; open-url support.
• Humanized login flow and email-format hint.

Web app

• Filter/search jobs and epics by slug (JOB-N, EPIC-N, bare ID).
• New Owner filter chip for jobs and epics, replacing the Mine/Team/Claimable tabs.
• Copyable slug in Epic and Job page titles/headers.
• Epic detail: segmented progress bar with an ordered legend, standardized headings.
• Notify the agent when pending actions are confirmed, rejected, or dismissed.
• Hover timestamps on chat message bubbles; Mark as read/unread in the chat sidebar context menu.
• Context-aware job retry actions.
• Standardized button styles, form input dark-mode/focus styles, detail panel metadata layout, tag pills, and admin subpage widths; Repository overview restructured to a 2/3 + 1/3 sidebar layout.
• New brand mark (winged stylus) and unified terracotta accent.
• Latin flavor throughout: status pill tooltips, error-page subtitles, Roman calendar cron dates, PR-description quotes, and a few easter eggs.

Merge train & workflows

• Rebuild the merge train when the base moves, restoring approvals, with explanations for rebuild blockers.
• Harden merge-train land retries; refresh git tokens on auth failure.
• Sync GitHub PR review approvals to job approvals.
• Cross-fork PR creation with fork-to-upstream routing and PR repository tracking; sync forks with upstream at prepare time.
• Release epic-blocked jobs once dependencies complete; skip redundant amend/test-plan turns when upstream has already submitted.

Docker and deployment

• New bin/build-local-image builds an installable backend from your working tree in one command.
• Install script gains a GUI-drivable Docker path and hardened machine interface.
• Renamed backend image syrus-local → syrus-backend; publish with GITHUB_TOKEN instead of a PAT.
• Install prebuilt Ruby (MISE_RUBY_COMPILE=0), cutting image build from ~13 min to seconds.
• Backend image built natively per-arch (no QEMU).

Fixes

• Release epic-blocked and permanently stuck blocked_by_epic jobs when dependencies resolve; clear landing_failure_reason on retry.
• Fix stale association cache bypassing epic dependency blocks.
• Fix job self-approval when owner_user_id is nil.
• Fix duplicate filter suggestions and search fields showing base64 filter values.
• Remove remaining Telegram remnants from the May 2026 migration.
• Fix deprecated Context tab in repository navigation and various layout/spacing glitches.

Upgrade notes

• Global repository uniqueness. A migration adds a repository_memberships table and makes repository uniqueness global. If you have repositories with duplicate [owner, name] rows, review your data before upgrading; the migration deduplicates existing rows.
• New migrations add slugs to jobs and epics, review policies, job approvals, target/PR repository tracking, and per-user locale. Run migrations as part of the upgrade.

Syrus v0.0.6

Syrus v0.0.6

Highlights

• Read-only chat sharing — Share a chat with teammates via share links; recipients get a read-only view.
• Chat slash commands — New /copy, /search, /pin, /branch, /report (file a GitHub issue), and bookmark-picker commands, plus editable proposal cards inline in chat.
• Switch agent providers mid-chat — Change a chat's provider (Claude ⇄ Codex) from the UI; the switch runs as an async job and per-chat provider selection is persisted.
• Agent memory — Worker runs now read from memory: a read_memory MCP tool in the worker sidecar and memory context injected into worker prompts.
• Automatic branch cleanup — Syrus deletes its own branches after PRs merge (immediately, with a daily reaper sweep as backstop).

Chat

• Temporal markers in message streams and compact history carried into resumed turns.
• Per-chat provider selection controls and a gear icon in the chat header for Chat Settings.
• Pinning with sidebar ordering (via slash command and sidebar context menu).
• New chats default to your most recently used repository and preserve the default repository.
• Structured Codex tool events are now persisted; ChatMessage content is canonicalized to Anthropic content-blocks, with transcript_jsonl reduced to a derived cache rehydrated on resume.
• Hardened stop handling: stopped turns are reconciled after process exit, queued messages are promoted after terminal turns, and stale chat turns are reaped.
• Compose polish: accessible icon buttons, compact attachment popup that stays open on tab change, empty thinking-only assistant bubbles hidden, constrained agent-question card width, and a Copy button beside Bookmark.
• Proposal outcomes now surface as system events and broadcast live so sidebar indicators update in place.
• Fixed Excalidraw crash by remapping the sticky shape type to rectangle.

Web app

• Epic detail redesigned into a two-column layout with a progress bar, state chips, a clearer action hierarchy, and an Add Job link.
• Job detail redesigned: state badge, red Cancel, ⋯ menu, sidebar Claim, improved blocking banner and dependency panel, typeahead dependency search, and a timeline toggle.
• Summary tab moved to a content-first two-column layout.
• Action Cable connection lost/reconnected indicator, with app queries refetched after reconnect.
• ANSI terminal styles now render in transcripts.
• Admin: confirm before revoking an invitation, copy invitation share URLs to the clipboard, and hide the empty clearable-secrets section on Admin Settings.
• SPA shell responses are no longer browser-cached.

Terminal

• Rewrote TerminalRelay for multi-client broadcast with scrollback; the frontend handles replay frames.
• Multiple terminal viewport/sizing fixes for reliable initial fit and resize.

Reliability & fixes

• Reject cron expressions with a zero day-of-month or month field.
• Skip parsed dependencies for non-issue jobs, with repair for stale rows.
• Recover queued workflows that were left blocked without runs, and warn when this happens.
• Fail fast on MCP sidecar startup failures and fix the sidecar bundle boot.
• Dynamic push-rebase recovery, plus guards for retry workflows and branch divergence.
• Landing fixes: correct queue positions for blocked jobs and continue landing after a clean local mergeability check.
• Normalize job and epic slug presentation; fix proposal-card confusion and wrong pending counts on slug reuse.
• Fix chat sidebar sort order being corrupted by updated_at bumps.
• Fix the restart action for direct/cron jobs and wrap it in a transaction.
• Cascade rejected Epic proposals to their proposed child Jobs.

Docker & deployment

• Fixed release image passthrough in bin/release-image.

Internal

• Removed the legacy repository-note system (models, MCP tools, and API endpoints).
• Refreshed architecture notes for recent workflow changes.

Upgrade notes

• Syrus now deletes its own branches after PRs merge. If you relied on merged Syrus branches persisting, note that they are now removed immediately and swept daily.
• The legacy repository-note feature has been removed, including its MCP tools and API endpoints.

Syrus v0.0.5

Syrus v0.0.5

Highlights

• Chat provider selection. Syrus Chat now runs on either Claude or Codex. Pick your provider in Credentials; the choice persists per user and per chat session, with availability checks so unconfigured providers aren't offered.
• Adversarial review loop. The initial workflow can now run an adversarial review step that critiques the agent's own work before opening a PR. The number of review rounds is read from repo config (.syrus.yml).
• Role-aware Epic workflows. Accounts now carry a selectable role (product owner / developer). Product owners get scoped Epic advancement and job triage; developers get an Epic elaboration mode. Epics also gain version history with an audit display.
• Native desktop notifications. The desktop app can raise native OS notifications on job state changes, with per-event preference controls in notification settings.

Web app

• Chat compose page supports attachments.
• Dependency references render as clickable Job slugs.
• Scheduled job headers link back to their source ScheduledTask.
• Chat exposes a "question" tool at the start of a turn.
• Fixed generated titles for chat sessions that haven't started yet.

Configuration

• New repo config knobs: adversarial review rounds, and hooks.post_checkout schema cleanup so schema files are restored after post-checkout hooks run.

Fixes

• Fixed contradictory chat run failure title.
• Fixed role-aware Epic proposal actions.
• Hardened terminal relay readiness and branch-patch-presence guard behavior.

Internal

• Extracted chat provider strategies (ChatProviders::Claude / Codex) and an agent environment snapshot service.
• Removed duplicated ownership and terminal helpers; consolidated terminal session APIs.
• Refreshed architecture and agent-guide documentation for current workflow paths.

Syrus v0.0.4

v0.0.4

Highlights

• Job dependencies from chat — chat proposals can now declare dependencies between proposed Jobs (including cross-proposal and Epic-proposal dependencies), and the chat MCP sidecar gained add_job_dependency / remove_job_dependency tools plus dependency support in propose_job.
• Auto-generated direct job titles — direct Jobs now get a concise title generated from their prompt text by the agent, produced asynchronously so Job creation stays fast.
• Image annotation in chat — attach images to a chat and annotate them inline; thumbnails show an edit affordance on hover.
• Smarter unified search — search terms are parsed with Google-style semantics, chat matches are grouped in unified results, and match toggles use chevron icons.

Web app

• Chat drafts persist across navigation; pending proposal indicators appear in the chat sidebar, with a jump banner in the compose area when a proposal needs attention.
• Pending feedback actions render inline within the chat message stream, anchored to the current message.
• New chats are created lazily from the sidebar, reuse unstarted chats, and default to your most recently used repository. Repository chips moved above the composer input and can be removed; the empty-compose layout was aligned.
• Detaching a chat attachment now requires confirmation.
• Source browser preserves folder expansion when selecting a file and highlights file contents with syntax highlighting.
• Job detail surfaces a link to the originating chat.
• Memory content in settings renders as Markdown, with full content viewable in a modal and an always-available expansion action.
• Proposal outcomes notify chat agents when they resolve; notification read state broadcasts live; healthy MCP status messages are suppressed.
• Inactive chat bookmarks now show in sidebar menus with working links; bookmarks refresh when menus open.
• Jobs with an active workflow are hidden from actionable lists; saved smart-folder labels are aligned and the folder drag handle stays reachable.
• Admin Features page added as a proper SPA route; several missing SPA shell routes registered so hard reloads resolve.
• Epics with all child Jobs closed can be marked done.

CLI

• syrus checkout runs configurable hooks.post_checkout commands after a branch checkout.
• syrus status reworked: renamed status jobs and added local branch / checkout status.

Desktop app

• New Job detail tabs (summary and feedback); PR review feedback and local checkout status shown in the tray history.
• Job title tooltips on hover; a dismissible checkout success toast; tray link to the originating chat message.
• Job menu flips near the tray edge to stay on-screen; test-plan code spans render inline; header brand focus outline removed.
• Fixed tray feedback submission (with fallback) and tray renderer startup.

Terminal

• Terminal sessions survive reconnects: the relay and PTY stay alive, relay threads wake on stop, and scrollback is restored across route remounts.

Configuration & docs

• .syrus.yml supports hooks.post_checkout; configuration, CLI, features, API, recipes, and troubleshooting docs updated. Architecture documentation refreshed.

Fixes

• Reconcile orphaned queued steps after a worker dies.
• Chat image attachments emit absolute paths in prompts; Git askpass env is passed to Claude chat turns; chat repository checkouts refresh on each turn.
• Duplicate chat sidebar pagination entries removed.

Operational notes

• Fixed the terminal_sessions migration for MySQL — relevant if you are upgrading a MySQL deployment that had not yet applied it.

Syrus v0.0.3

Syrus v0.0.3

Highlights

• Interactive terminal sessions (labs). A new worker-side PTY relay lets operators open browser terminal sessions that survive navigation. Sessions are persisted, exposed through a JSON API and Action Cable relay channel, and surfaced in the web app as a terminal route with session tabs and a badge. The whole feature is off by default and gated behind the terminal feature flag. See the deployment docs for relay host discovery configuration on Kubernetes and Docker Compose.
• Job feedback from the desktop tray and web app. A new direct app API accepts job feedback, with an inline submission form in the web Job detail and a dedicated tray feedback view in the desktop app.

Web app

• Added a diff mode to the job source browser.
• Search now finds Jobs and Epics by slug.
• Chat JOB- and EPIC- slugs link to their detail pages, and pending-action job slugs are now linked too.
• Unified the chat confirmation card presentation.

Desktop app

• New tray notifications page with an unread bell and a compacted tray header.
• Inbox repository groups now remember their collapsed state.
• Chat message fields focus automatically when starting a new chat.
• Fixed tray feedback header title sizing.

Chat

• Split chat MCP tools into a deferred sidecar.
• Redirected chat memory guidance toward the Syrus MCP tools.

Docker and deployment

• Docker builds now ignore release artifacts and the local bundle directory.
• Added terminal relay host discovery configuration for Kubernetes and Docker Compose.

Fixes

• Forced the chat message cursor index on MySQL.
• Restored the v2 UI feature declaration and handled missing feature flags gracefully in the app chrome.
• Fixed Electron runtime install for desktop development and avoided stale desktop release artifacts.
• Removed a duplicate terminal relay enqueue.

Internal

• Release tooling now prevents reuse of a release version.
