Gyro v0.1.0-alpha.29.1

Gyro v0.1.0-alpha.29.1

Gyro Alpha 29.1 gives chat models a live, versioned view of the Workspace and
adds bounded tools for inspecting, navigating, proposing, and verifying work.

Download and install

Gyro requires macOS 14+ and is not Apple-signed or notarized. The application
uses a complete ad-hoc signature, so the first launch still requires Apple's
one-time Open Anyway approval.

• Apple Silicon DMG
• Intel DMG
• SHA256SUMS

What changed

• Chat turns now receive a versioned snapshot of the visible Workspace,
  including the active file and view, selection, open buffers, diagnostics,
  test failures, and active output.
• The model can request the current Workspace context, read precise file
  ranges, reveal files, and open IDE panels without guessing at visible state.
• New bounded tools let the model propose reviewed edits, run configured tasks
  and tests, and read their captured output under the project's capability
  policy.
• Workspace context is tied to the chat turn and persisted with it, making
  retries deterministic while allowing tools to detect newer editor state.
• The composer shows the attached active file, selection, or unsaved-buffer
  state so users can see which editor context accompanies a prompt.
• The Create menu now groups chat and CLI session choices more clearly, while
  the tool launcher and permission summary use more compact labels and chrome.
• The Explorer remains persistent and removes its incomplete outline control.

Behavior changes and known limits

• Workspace tools remain bounded to the selected project and its capability
  policy. Restricted and Plan modes continue to block disallowed mutations.
• Proposed edits still require Gyro's guarded review and apply flow; models do
  not receive unrestricted filesystem access through the Workspace tools.
• Context snapshots are size-limited and may omit full unsaved buffer content;
  tools can read the relevant range when more detail is needed.
• Gyro remains an unsigned public Alpha. Managed Macs may prohibit Open
  Anyway, and Gyro does not bypass device policy.
• Apple Silicon and Intel remain separate downloads; there is no universal DMG.
• Homebrew installs the gyro CLI only. Gyro.app remains a direct DMG install.
• Existing Alpha 29 sessions, projects, settings, and editor state remain
  compatible; no destructive data migration is required.

Upgrade and rollback

Alpha 29 data remains compatible with Alpha 29.1. Update from Gyro or replace
the existing application with the matching Alpha 29.1 DMG.

Before changing versions, quit Gyro and back up

• Apple Silicon DMG
• Intel DMG
• SHA256SUMS

What changed

• Completed file-change summaries now appear after the assistant's final
  response, keeping each turn's outcome in a more natural reading order.
• Interactive chat-artifact responses now wait briefly for follow-up protocol
  activity, preventing late artifact operations from being dropped.
• Rust files use a richer editor grammar with clearer highlighting for types,
  lifetimes, macros, functions, namespaces, constants, and operators.
• Thread chrome and workspace menus are more compact, with a branch-focused
  context control and shorter workspace action descriptions.
• Settings gains consistent hide, back, and forward sidebar controls, while the
  Workspace shell avoids duplicate footer controls and aligns its divider with
  native window chrome.
• The menu-bar popover uses bounded row heights that match the native window
  calculation, and OpenAI marks remain monochrome in both color schemes.
• Contributor and release documentation now defines responsible AI-assisted
  development, privacy, review, and release-evidence requirements.

Behavior changes and known limits

• The thread header now shows the current branch as its primary compact context;
  project and workspace-mode details remain available from the context menu.
• File-change summaries are intentionally placed after the final response once
  a turn completes.
• Gyro remains an unsigned public Alpha. Managed Macs may prohibit Open
  Anyway, and Gyro does not bypass device policy.
• Apple Silicon and Intel remain separate downloads; there is no universal DMG.
• Homebrew installs the gyro CLI only. Gyro.app remains a direct DMG install.

• Apple Silicon DMG
• Intel DMG
• SHA256SUMS

What changed

• Workspace now has a dedicated VS Code-style Activity Rail for Explorer,
  Search, Source Control, Run and Test, AI tools, and Workspace contributions.
• The Workspace Activity Rail animates away when switching to Sessions, while
  the Sessions sidebar moves cleanly to the window edge and Workspace layout
  state is restored on return.
• Multi-root projects can add and remove folders or be saved and reopened as
  versioned .gyro-workspace.json files with per-folder settings.
• Explorer gains richer file actions, multi-selection, contextual operations,
  workspace-root awareness, document outlines, and dirty-buffer recovery.
• Workspace Search supports include and exclude globs, Quick Open, structured
  results, guarded replace previews, and multi-root result routing.
• Source Control gains repository grouping, staged and unstaged sections,
  batch selection, stage and discard actions, diff routing, and guarded commits.
• Run and Test now exposes detected tasks, structured test results, debug
  sessions, output channels, problems, terminals, and a persistent tool panel.
• Workspace Trust gates executable project capabilities, including terminals,
  tasks, tests, debugging, Git mutations, and replace operations.
• User, Workspace, and Folder settings now resolve predictably for exclusions,
  result limits, editor minimap behavior, keybindings, and local contributions.
• Language tooling adds definition, reference, and rename request paths, while
  provider commentary streaming is more resilient to cumulative or missing IDs.
• Regression coverage now exercises Workspace persistence, multi-root routing,
  trust boundaries, search and replace, SCM, tasks, tests, contributions,
  keybindings, Activity Rail motion, and provider stream ordering.

Behavior changes and known limits

• New project roots may require an explicit trust decision before commands that
  execute code or mutate Git state become available.
• Removing a folder from a multi-root Workspace does not delete it from disk.
• Workspace files store folder membership and scoped editor preferences; they
  do not embed project contents or credentials.
• Language features still require a compatible local language server.
• Debugging, tests, and tasks depend on project configuration and local tools.
• Gyro remains an unsigned public Alpha. Managed Macs may prohibit Open
  Anyway, and Gyro does not bypass device policy.
• Apple Silicon and Intel remain separate downloads; there is no universal DMG.
• Homebrew installs the gyro CLI only. Gyro.app remains a direct DMG install.
• Existing Alpha 28 sessions, projects, settings, and editor state remain
  compatible; no destructive data migration is required.

• Apple Silicon DMG
• Intel DMG
• SHA256SUMS

What changed

• Linked Git worktrees now appear in the branch menu and can be removed without
  deleting their branch or Chat history.
• Gyro refuses to remove the active worktree, a worktree with an active Chat,
  or a dirty worktree that Git cannot remove safely.
• Streaming provider activity keeps its original activity order independently
  from text and lifecycle events.
• File edits now appear as one completion-only change summary instead of moving
  around while a response is still streaming.
• Completion receipts no longer duplicate information already presented by the
  final response and change summary.
• Composer menu buttons and the segmented Chat control have more consistent
  native appearance and alignment.
• Regression coverage now includes linked-worktree safety, activity ordering,
  completion-only edit summaries, and the streamlined completion presentation.

Behavior changes and known limits

• Removing a linked worktree keeps the branch available for later checkout.
• Dirty linked worktrees must be cleaned up or committed before Gyro can remove
  them; Gyro does not force deletion.
• File activity remains available during a run, but the aggregate edit summary
  appears after the turn completes.
• Gyro remains an unsigned public Alpha. Managed Macs may prohibit Open
  Anyway, and Gyro does not bypass device policy.
• Apple Silicon and Intel remain separate downloads; there is no universal DMG.
• Homebrew installs the gyro CLI only. Gyro.app remains a direct DMG install.
• Alpha 28 sessions, settings, attachments, plans, approvals, capabilities,

• Apple Silicon DMG
• Intel DMG
• SHA256SUMS

What changed

• Chat can now render bounded interactive artifacts for decisions, commands,
  completion receipts, workspace files, previews, tables, diagrams, and
  explicit memory proposals.
• Artifact actions reuse Gyro's existing guarded terminal, diff, browser, and
  workspace surfaces; command execution continues through normal approval
  checks.
• Completed turns with tool activity now include a concise receipt covering
  completion state, commands, and changed files.
• Streaming commentary, commands, searches, and file edits retain their first
  observed timeline order after persistence, refresh, and reconciliation.
• File activity is grouped into one stable change summary with direct access to
  the full diff.
• Grid Chat headers use one compact workspace context control and align their
  right-side controls to the pane edge without an unnecessary titlebar gap.
• The Plan approval prompt stays attached to the composer and offers explicit
  implement or revise actions.
• The menu-bar popover identifies the active model provider and can keep recent
  successful Chat outcomes visible without treating them as active work.
• Regression coverage now includes artifact validation, stream ordering,
  aggregate edit summaries, menu-bar completion state, and Grid presentation.

Behavior changes and known limits

• Interactive artifacts are accepted only from a bounded, validated schema.
  Unknown, incomplete, oversized, or malformed items are ignored safely.
• A command artifact never executes by itself. Run with approval creates a
  normal Chat request that remains subject to Gyro's permission policy.
• Diagram artifacts use a safe node-and-edge representation and do not render
  arbitrary HTML.
• Memory cards require an explicit user action before Gyro asks the model to
  save, edit, or forget local memory.
• Gyro remains an unsigned public Alpha. Managed Macs may prohibit Open
  Anyway, and Gyro does not bypass device policy.
• Apple Silicon and Intel remain separate downloads; there is no universal DMG.
• Homebrew installs the gyro CLI only. Gyro.app remains a direct DMG install.
• Alpha 28 sessions, settings, attachments, plans, approvals, capabilities,
  and projects remain compatible; no destructive data migration is required.

• Apple Silicon DMG
• Intel DMG
• SHA256SUMS

What changed

• The Chat attachment picker now accepts images and videos together while
  enforcing the existing four-image and two-video limits independently.
• Streaming commentary that resumes after a command stays split around that
  command, preserving the order in which work happened after completion and
  refresh.
• Completed Chat turns present one stable edited-files summary with a direct
  Review action instead of changing labels while a run is active.
• The dark theme now uses a more neutral grayscale foundation across the app,
  terminal, root error state, and menu-bar popover.
• The macOS menu bar now uses the official Gyro silhouette, while its wider
  popover improves spacing, job hierarchy, metadata, controls, and footer hit
  targets.
• Codex app-server Chats now honor Gyro's explicit Full Access mode, restoring
  approved Git metadata writes, network operations, and user credential access
  instead of silently falling back to the workspace sandbox.
• Auto Approve remains automatic inside the workspace but can now request a
  focused approval when a task needs protected Git metadata or network access.
• Regression coverage verifies commentary continuation ordering, response
  reconciliation, and persisted-session refresh behavior.

Behavior changes and known limits

• A mixed media selection can add up to the remaining allowance of four images
  and two videos; files beyond either limit are skipped with a clear notice.
• Video attachments remain limited to supported containers and 50 MB per
  video. The existing total attachment limit also applies.
• Providers receive validated local media references as Chat context; media
  interpretation still depends on the selected provider and model.
• Gyro remains an unsigned public Alpha. Managed Macs may prohibit Open
  Anyway, and Gyro does not bypass device policy.
• Apple Silicon and Intel remain separate downloads; there is no universal DMG.
• Homebrew installs the gyro CLI only. Gyro.app remains a direct DMG install.

• Apple Silicon DMG
• Intel DMG
• SHA256SUMS

What changed

• A native menu-bar item now shows whether Gyro is idle, working, waiting for
  attention, or has recently completed work.
• The menu-bar popover lists active Chats and automations, opens their owning
  surface, and can stop supported Chat runs without reopening the main window.
• A General setting controls whether the Gyro menu-bar item is visible.
• Chat accepts validated MP4, M4V, MOV, and WebM video attachments alongside
  images and workspace context.
• Streaming commentary keeps its chronological position around intervening
  commands, so the activity history reads in the order work happened.
• Each Chat turn now shows one aggregate live file-change summary with totals,
  expandable files, inline diffs, and a direct Review action after completion.
• Branch selection pins main first and sorts the remaining local branches by
  recent activity.
• Grid Chats expose a consistent close control, and composer, attachment,
  sidebar, queue, and light-theme details have been polished.
• Regression coverage now exercises menu-bar state, video validation, activity
  chronology, branch ordering, change summaries, and close behavior.

Behavior changes and known limits

• The menu-bar item is enabled by default and represents active Chats and
  automation runs; terminals, tests, tasks, and future schedules do not create
  menu-bar jobs.
• Video attachments are limited to supported containers, at most two videos
  per turn, and 50 MB per video. The existing total attachment limit also
  applies.
• Providers receive a validated local video reference as Chat context; video
  interpretation still depends on the selected provider and model.
• Gyro remains an unsigned public Alpha. Managed Macs may prohibit Open

• Apple Silicon DMG
• Intel DMG
• SHA256SUMS

What changed

• OpenAI and Anthropic chats can use Gyro-owned workspace, IDE, terminal, and
  loopback-browser capabilities with bounded inputs and outputs.
• Project capability policies provide Allow, Ask, and Deny controls,
  including allow-once and project-scoped approval decisions.
• Capability requests, approvals, running activity, resources, failures, and
  completion are visible inside the owning Chat.
• Plan mode acts as a hard capability ceiling, sensitive paths require
  additional approval, and capability access stays scoped to the current
  project and Chat.
• Chat now supports a persistent project-scoped grid for working across
  multiple conversations without losing focus or draft placement.
• The CLI launcher can open a prepared multi-pane workspace directly, with
  clearer pane controls, responsive layouts, and preserved project context.
• Provider readiness and model-tool availability are clearer in Chat and
  Settings.
• Regression coverage now exercises capability policy, scoped resources,
  multi-chat state, CLI launch presets, and the supported responsive layouts.

Behavior changes and known limits

• Gyro model capabilities are available for OpenAI and Anthropic providers in
  this release. Other providers continue to run without Gyro-owned tools.
• Browser capabilities are restricted to approved loopback previews.
• Terminal capabilities create visible, Chat-owned processes; execution and
  stopping remain subject to the active project policy.
• Sensitive workspace paths continue to require explicit approval.
• Gyro remains an unsigned public Alpha. Managed Macs may prohibit Open

• Apple Silicon DMG
• Intel DMG
• SHA256SUMS

What changed

• Agent stream handling is more reliable under duplicate, delayed, and
  out-of-order provider events, with deterministic turn ordering and stronger
  recovery behavior.
• Context accounting now stays synchronized with the active model and thread,
  shows a usage bar, and presents compaction as a first-class Chat activity.
• Ask Before Executing consistently requests approval across models and can
  raise a macOS notification that routes back to the correct Chat.
• The updater is now a one-click flow with download progress, a quieter icon,
  clearer failure handling, and a restart action when installation is ready.
• Chat, Settings, the composer menus, branch selection, title bar, traffic
  lights, sidebar controls, and light/dark themes received a detailed polish
  pass with stronger layout and accessibility consistency.
• The CLI and Workspace preserve more state, surface real local progress, and
  avoid unnecessary polling when native events are healthy.
• The website now uses current product captures for Chat, split-terminal CLI,
  and real Workspace diff review at both responsive image sizes.
• Regression coverage now exercises provider ordering, context usage, updater
  behavior, notifications, workbench persistence, and the refined UI states.

Behavior changes and known limits

• Clicking an update begins the download immediately. Restart remains an
  explicit action after the update is ready.
• macOS notifications require notification permission and only appear when
  Gyro has a question that needs user input.
• Context percentages depend on provider usage metadata when available and use
  bounded local estimates otherwise.

• Apple Silicon DMG
• Intel DMG
• SHA256SUMS

What changed

• The Workspace replaces the older IDE framing with a more purposeful project
  entry state, stronger editor-region separation, clearer tabs and active-group
  states, a refined file sidebar, and a more legible status bar.
• Tools, Tasks, Automations, Providers, and Settings now share a consistent page
  hierarchy, icon treatment, spacing rhythm, card language, and responsive
  behavior.
• Dark and light themes have more consistent depth, contrast, focus states, and
  surface transitions across the app.
• Workspace preparation now reports honest native stages while opening a
  project and uses filesystem events when available, with an explicit polling
  fallback.
• Global search groups projects, sessions, local actions, and workspace file
  search behind the shared command palette with keyboard navigation.
• Empty, selected, hover, focus, and disabled states have been tightened across
  the main product surfaces without changing their underlying workflows.
• Regression coverage verifies the shared shell, project-first Workspace,
  provider boundaries, responsive viewport contracts, and the graphite design
  token system.

Behavior changes and known limits

• Workspace functionality is still tied to a user-selected local project.
  Search, source control, run/test, and AI workspace actions remain unavailable
  until a project is open.
• Filesystem event watching can fall back to bounded polling when the native
  watcher is unavailable.
• Gyro is still an unsigned public Alpha. A warning-free first launch requires
  Apple Developer ID signing and notarization, which this release does not use.
• Managed Macs may prohibit Open Anyway. Gyro does not bypass device policy.
• Apple Silicon and Intel remain separate downloads; there is no universal DMG.
• Homebrew installs the gyro CLI only. Gyro.app remains a direct DMG install.
• Alpha 26.2 sessions, settings, attachments, plans, approvals, and projects
  remain compatible; no database or session schema migration is required.

Upgrade and rollback

Alpha 26.2 data remains compatible with Alpha 26.3. Update from Gyro or replace
the existing app with the matching Alpha 26.3 DMG.

To roll back, quit Gyro, back up
~/Library/Application Support/Gyro/, and reinstall
v0.1.0-alpha.26.2.

CLI

This release does not change CLI command behavior. After the release Formula
reaches the tap:

brew tap wytzeh197/tap
brew trust --formula wytzeh197/tap/gyro
brew install gyro

Direct archives remain available for
Apple Silicon
and
Intel.

Alpha notice

This is a GitHub-built public macOS Alpha for Apple Silicon and Intel. Updater
archives are signed with Gyro's updater key, while app bundles use ad-hoc code
signing and DMGs are not Apple-signed or notarized.
