Clowder AI v0.12.0
v0.12.0 brings desktop updates into the app, expands publishing and creative workflows, and includes a broad reliability pass across agents, messaging, memory, tracking, and Windows support.
Highlights
Desktop in-app updates
- The desktop app can discover newer stable GitHub Releases at startup, every 24 hours, or from Check for Updates in the tray.
- Downloads support progress reporting and resumable transfers, then verify both the GitHub-provided SHA-256 digest and byte size before installation.
- Windows installer builds can upgrade in place, preserve user data, and recover from UAC cancellation or an interrupted install using a persistent update journal.
- macOS downloads the correct arm64/x64 DMG, verifies it, opens Finder, and guides the user through replacing the app.
- Incomplete releases are ignored until the Windows installer and both macOS DMGs are present with digests.
Publishing, creative workflows, and observability
- Added the WeChat MP publisher plugin, skill-management integration, guided user journey, and capability tips.
- Added Video Forge, a declarative video-production protocol with inline video delivery.
- Added InjectionTrace and migrated the Hook Pipeline with trace bridging for better prompt-injection observability.
Console and Windows experience
- Redesigned the thread sidebar, added inline title editing, and made the active thread easier to locate.
- Added cross-drive Windows directory navigation with VS Code-style drive breadcrumbs.
- Propagated Clowder AI branding through desktop installers, launchers, documentation, and release asset names.
Reliability and compatibility
- Improved ACP credential refresh, empty-output recovery, idle-timeout handling, iterator cleanup, and zombie queue convergence.
- Made Redis delivery transitions atomic and restored truthful PR/issue tracking wake delivery.
- Added OpenCode stale-session self-healing and compatibility probing.
- Added GLM v4 endpoints, native Codex bearer-token mapping, and provider-native CLI effort preservation.
- Fixed memory sidecar activation, ASR service selection, Rosetta architecture detection, and quota refresh/display.
Upgrading
Existing v0.11.1 and older desktop installations
This is the first stable release that contains the in-app updater, so existing stable installations cannot discover it automatically. Download v0.12.0 once from this release page and install it over the existing app. Threads, memories, configuration, and other user data are preserved.
After v0.12.0 is installed, future complete stable releases can be discovered from inside the desktop app.
Windows
- Recommended:
ClowderAI-Setup-0.12.0.exe - Portable:
ClowderAI-0.12.0.zip - If an upgrade is interrupted, rerun the preserved installer from
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Clowder AI\updates\without opening the app.
macOS
- Apple Silicon:
ClowderAI-0.12.0-arm64.dmg - Intel:
ClowderAI-0.12.0-x64.dmg - The app is not Apple-notarized. If macOS blocks the first launch, right-click the app in Applications and choose Open. The updater does not bypass Gatekeeper or remove quarantine attributes.

Clowder AI v0.12.0
v0.12.0 把桌面升级能力带进应用内，同时扩展了发布与创作工作流，并集中增强了 Agent、消息、记忆、GitHub tracking 和 Windows 支持的稳定性。
重点更新
桌面应用内更新
- 桌面端会在启动时、每 24 小时或通过托盘菜单的 检查更新 查找新的稳定版。
- 下载支持进度展示和断点续传；安装前同时校验 GitHub 提供的 SHA-256 digest 与文件字节数。

- macOS 会按 arm64/x64 下载正确的 DMG，校验后打开 Finder，引导用户替换应用。
- Windows installer 与两份 macOS DMG 未全部上传并带 digest 前，客户端不会把半成品 release 当成可升级版本。
发布、创作与可观测性
- 新增微信公众号发布插件、skill 管理集成、用户旅程与 capability tip。
- 新增 Video Forge：声明式视频生产协议与聊天内视频交付。
- 新增 InjectionTrace，并完成带 trace bridging 的 Hook Pipeline 迁移，提升 prompt injection 可观测性。

- 桌面安装器、启动器、文档和 release 资产名统一为 Clowder AI 品牌。
稳定性与兼容性

- Redis 消息投递状态改为原子迁移，并恢复 PR/issue tracking 的真实唤醒语义。
- OpenCode 支持 stale session 自愈与兼容性探测。
- 支持 GLM v4 endpoint、Codex bearer token 映射，并保留 provider 原生 CLI effort。
- 修复记忆 sidecar 激活、ASR 服务选择、Rosetta 架构识别和 quota 刷新/展示。
升级说明
现有 v0.11.1 及更早桌面版本
这是第一个内置应用内更新器的稳定版，所以现有稳定版还无法自动发现它。请先从本 release 页面手动下载 v0.12.0，直接覆盖安装；threads、memories、配置和其他用户数据都会保留。
安装 v0.12.0 后，未来资产完整的稳定版本即可在桌面应用内被发现。
