Atelier Studio v1.3.1

Atelier Studio 1.3.1

Atelier Studio 1.3.1 is a substantial workflow, agent-runtime, and interface release. It builds on the Rust-first foundation introduced in 1.3.0 with scheduled agent automations, a read-only Narval and Slurm monitoring surface, deeper Codex and Claude workflow parity, richer scientific-gallery actions, unified CodeMirror review surfaces, native screenshot context, and a broad shadcn/Base UI refinement across desktop and mobile.

Highlights

• Added persistent scheduled tasks and heartbeat automations with pause, resume, run history, target validation, and Rust-backed execution.
• Added a read-only Narval and Slurm workspace for active jobs, recent runs, remote directories, logs, outputs, and terminal handoff.
• Expanded Codex activity rendering, native command handling, follow-up queues, steering, handoffs, drafts, history recovery, and subagent visibility.
• Added fullscreen Mermaid diagrams with native dialog behavior and an unobtrusive transparent close control.
• Added AppSnap for native window capture and local-image context inside conversations.
• Unified editor and review workflows around CodeMirror 6, including clearer diffs, intervention history, and safer restore behavior.
• Completed a large shadcn/Base UI migration while preserving Atelier's Precision Native tokens, compact geometry, and accessibility contracts.
• Expanded the scientific gallery and mobile companion with stronger file, viewer, pairing, and context-transfer workflows.

Scheduled tasks and automations

• Added a dedicated Scheduled Tasks surface in the desktop rail.
• Added persistent automation records in the Rust store and compatibility support in the Node sidecar.
• Added minute-based heartbeat scheduling, due-run detection, target validation, and active-target protection.
• Added creation, editing, pause, resume, manual-run, and deletion flows with localized states and accessible controls.
• Added execution history and clear status reporting for scheduled agent work.
• Kept automation state project-aware and integrated with the existing thread/runtime model.

Narval and Slurm monitoring

• Added a dedicated Narval surface for research-compute monitoring.
• Added configurable SSH host and gateway aliases, including the supported nas to narval-vpn two-hop route.
• Added read-only Slurm snapshots using active squeue jobs and recent sacct history.
• Added job inspection with state, elapsed time, partition, CPU and memory requests, working directory, command, and pending reason.
• Added bounded log previews and output-file discovery for a selected job.
• Added lazy remote-directory browsing restricted to configured roots.
• Added stale-response protection so older network replies cannot replace a newer selection.
• Added manual refresh, visible-surface polling, disconnected, empty, loading, stale, authentication, and timeout states.
• Added a terminal handoff that opens the matching SSH route in Atelier.
• The Narval integration is intentionally read-only: it does not submit, cancel, edit, move, or delete remote jobs or files.

Agent chat and runtime

• Aligned the chat activity stream with Codex event semantics, including stable running/completed lifecycles for commands, searches, image operations, dynamic tools, and subagents.
• Added richer agent and subagent activity groups with inspectable details without overwhelming the primary transcript.
• Improved queued follow-up turns, steering, interruption, retry, rewind, provider handoff, and fork behavior.
• Added durable per-thread drafts and safer restoration when switching conversations.
• Ported more native Codex commands into the Rust runtime, including permission, model, plan, usage, diff, status, review, compaction, and goal-related paths where supported.
• Improved Codex and Claude model defaults and per-thread selection persistence.
• Added semantic automatic chat titles while protecting explicit manual renames.
• Added richer native-history recovery for Codex and Grok sessions.
• Improved provider status reporting and normalized event handling across the Rust and Node runtimes.
• Added direct terminal-output publication without requiring a follow-up WebSocket poll.
• Improved tool presentation, completed-turn anatomy, result capsules, and file-change summaries.

Rich responses and visual context

• Added fullscreen Mermaid diagrams that reuse the already-rendered SVG, close with Escape, and preserve the inline diagram.
• Added AppSnap, a native macOS helper for capturing application windows as conversation context.
• Added local-image previews and structured image-view activity.
• Improved Markdown typography, syntax highlighting, tables, task lists, math, and long-response layout.
• Added clearer image-generation, web-search, and attachment activity states.
• Refined message editing so the editor preserves the original bubble typography and expands without scaling the text.

Scientific gallery and project actions

• Added a stronger gallery command bridge between agent actions, the desktop shell, and project-scoped gallery servers.
• Added explicit gallery actions for opening, selecting, inspecting, annotating, and returning artifacts to chat.
• Added gallery-aware agent tool instructions and bundled helper CLIs.
• Added CSV table viewing and expanded file-type handling.
• Improved favorites, filters, collections, status state, live rescans, and recent-artifact behavior.
• Improved gallery server identity and stale-instance handling across rebuilds.
• Refined image, PDF, SVG, Markdown, LaTeX, and code-viewer integration.
• Expanded Zotero passage extraction and context transfer with bounded, explicit tool contracts.

Editors, diffs, and review

• Unified review and intervention surfaces around CodeMirror 6.
• Improved side-by-side and inline diff rendering, change navigation, background computation, and large-file behavior.
• Added clearer intervention history, restoration, reconciliation, and review-state presentation.
• Improved Git status, staging, diff, commit-context, and project-subdirectory handling.
• Refined LaTeX, Markdown, code, PDF, and SVG workflows while preserving source-to-output context.
• Improved SVG text editing, zoom, pan, typography, shape styling, and durable edit replay.
• Added safer path and revision validation across gallery and workspace operations.

Interface and design system

• Migrated the authored interface to a comprehensive shadcn/Base UI component layer.
• Added or standardized dialogs, alerts, fields, menus, tabs, tables, scroll areas, inputs, toggles, tooltips, badges, empty states, skeletons, messages, bubbles, attachments, and activity primitives.
• Preserved Atelier's compact Precision Native geometry, semantic colors, motion budget, focus behavior, and Tailwind prefix.
• Refined the command palette, sidebar, project headers, composer, settings, Git surface, terminal, and embedded atelier layouts.
• Improved responsive behavior, keyboard navigation, accessible names, focus management, and reduced-motion behavior.
• Added stronger UI contracts and visual fixtures to prevent legacy primitives from reappearing.

Desktop, mobile, and remote access

• Expanded the mobile companion gallery, file viewers, syntax highlighting, settings, diagnostics, and pairing experience.
• Improved remote gateway file routes, scoped authorization, replay handling, and security tests.
• Improved desktop/mobile protocol parity and shared fixtures.
• Added stronger local-image, attachment, and file-transfer boundaries.
• Refined mobile build staging and packaged desktop resources.

Reliability, security, and release engineering

• Strengthened Rust and Node parity for chat, automations, gallery actions, Narval requests, and provider events.
• Improved process lifecycle, stale-lock recovery, gallery-server cleanup, and backend health reporting.
• Preserved the no-runtime-write rule inside the signed application bundle.
• Added stricter path validation, bounded outputs, numeric Slurm job IDs, fixed remote-command shapes, and typed error handling.
• Expanded CI and release verification across frontend, sidecar, gallery, Rust, protocol, mobile, and browser tests.
• Kept the Apple Silicon release runner requirement and embedded Node.js 22 verification.
• Updated release staging for AppSnap, gallery helpers, Zotero passages, mobile assets, and Rust server artifacts.

Validation coverage

The merged 1.3.1 checkout was validated locally with:

• TypeScript type checking and a production Vite build.
• 504 frontend unit and integration tests.
• 384 Node sidecar tests.
• 169 gallery diff-suite tests plus gallery route parity.
• 60 gallery Playwright end-to-end tests.
• The complete Rust workspace test suite, including Narval, automations, providers, remote security, storage, workspace, and runtime coverage.
• A native Tauri release build and live packaged-app verification.
• Live confirmation that the Scheduled Tasks and Narval surfaces are present in the rebuilt application.

The tag-driven GitHub workflow repeats the full verification surface, runs gallery Playwright end-to-end coverage, builds the Apple Silicon DMG, and verifies the embedded Node.js runtime before publishing artifacts.

Upgrade notes

• Existing projects, conversations, gallery state, highlights, and provider settings remain compatible.
• Scheduled tasks are stored locally and should be reviewed after upgrade before enabling recurring execution.
• Narval access uses the existing SSH configuration and does not store passwords, tokens, or private keys in Atelier.
• The Rust backend remains the default. ATELIER_BACKEND=node is available only for explicit compatibility testing.
• Restart project-scoped gallery servers after changing gallery assets; the packaged app handles this during a normal upgrade.

Platform and prerequisites

• macOS on Apple Silicon.
• Claude Code CLI for Claude sessions.
• Codex CLI for Codex sessions.
• Existing SSH access for the optional Narval integration.
• Node.js and the project gallery runtime are bundled with the desktop application.

If macOS Gatekeeper blocks the downloaded build, run:

xattr -cr "/Applications/Atelier.app"
