v0.6.1 — Agent reliability fixes (MiniMax reasoning, edit/truncation, circuit breaker) + tab reorder
Reliability-focused release. Now available for both macOS and Windows — Windows users on v0.6.0 should upgrade to pick up these fixes.
Fixes
- MiniMax-M3 reasoning no longer floods the chat. The inline-think splitter now recognizes M3's
<mm:think>tag (previously only<think>), so chain-of-thought is peeled into the reasoning channel instead of dumping repeated[STATUS: …]lines into the timeline. The reasoning tag is now per-model configurable in provider config. - Fewer failed edits from stale context. When a large tool result is evicted from context, the stub now states plainly that it is not the content and must be re-read — instead of embedding the model's own narration as a faux summary. The agent re-reads before making precise edits.
- Clearer edit errors. A failed
edit(target text not found) now names the file, instructs a re-read, and echoes the full target text, so two different failures produce different messages. Matching stays exact. - Circuit breaker only trips on real failures. A not-found edit is a recoverable input mistake, not a tool outage — repeated recoverable errors no longer disable the tool. Genuine tool/infra failures still trip it.
- Chat tab now precedes Queue in the project tab bar, matching the default landing tab.
- Also: the management agent no longer re-summarizes sub-agent output; Enter no longer submits while composing with an IME; chat history reconciles correctly after a turn settles.
Install (Windows)
- Download
Orbital-Setup-0.6.1.exebelow. - Run the installer and follow the prompts.
- Launch Orbital from the Start Menu or desktop shortcut.
SmartScreen: the installer is unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen shows a warning on first run. Click More info → Run anyway to proceed (one time).
Install (macOS)
- Download
Orbital-0.6.1-macOS.dmgbelow. - Open the DMG and drag Orbital to your Applications folder.
- Requires macOS 13 (Ventura)+ and Apple Silicon (M1 or newer) — the bundle is arm64-only; Intel Macs are not supported.
Gatekeeper: the app is ad-hoc signed (not notarized), so macOS blocks it on first launch. Right-click Orbital → Open → Open to bypass (one time).
Known issues
- Unsigned / un-notarized builds → SmartScreen (Windows) and Gatekeeper (macOS) warnings on first launch (see above).
- macOS build is Apple Silicon only; Intel Macs are not supported.
