Gyro v0.1.0-alpha.26.4

Gyro Alpha 26.4 strengthens the agent runtime and gives the desktop app a more
consistent, responsive finish across Chat, CLI, Workspace, Settings, and the
download experience.

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.

Use the Gyro download site to select the
correct build, then follow the
macOS installation guide.
Do not disable Gatekeeper or remove quarantine globally.

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.
  • 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 26.3 sessions, settings, attachments, plans, approvals, and projects
    remain compatible; no database or session schema migration is required.

Upgrade and rollback

Alpha 26.3 data remains compatible with Alpha 26.4. Update from Gyro or replace
the existing application with the matching Alpha 26.4 DMG.

Before changing versions, quit Gyro and back up
~/Library/Application Support/Gyro/. To roll back, reinstall
v0.1.0-alpha.26.3.

CLI

After the release Formula reaches the tap:

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

Direct archives are 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 application bundles use
ad-hoc code signing and DMGs are not Apple-signed or notarized.
