TaskWraith 1.6.8

1.6.8 - 2026-06-28

Added

• Scheduled messages in the visible queue. The composer Schedule clock now
  creates a timer-locked queued message instead of a separate hidden scheduled
  task. Scheduled rows keep Edit/Delete, show a live countdown where Steer
  usually appears, and dispatch automatically when due.
• Larger composer uploads. Drag/drop, paste, and attachment picker flows now
  keep up to 15 composer attachments.
• Detected Tailscale relay setup. The iOS bridge settings now show this
  Mac's detected wss:// Tailscale relay door with Use this, Copy, and Test
  actions so cellular pairing no longer depends on users hand-entering the
  MagicDNS URL and port.

Changed

• Cleaner trust-mode UX. YOLO / Trust This Session now appears as a compact
  composer chip with an explanatory tooltip and click-to-disable behavior,
  replacing the warning-style banner.
• Clearer approval affordances. Permission, elevation, unattended workflow,
  Ollama parity, and provider sign-in actions now have tooltips that explain the
  consequence and lifetime of each choice.
• Softer visual polish. Sky visual effects have softer orb edges, and image
  attachments show better placeholder behavior while previews load.
• Message actions moved into timestamp footers. Transcript copy/delete
  actions now sit in the message footer area instead of floating over the
  message body.

Fixed

• Share invite reliability. Shared-chat invite copy and relay setup are more
  robust, including stronger validation around collaborator join payloads.
• iOS relay pairing fallback. Tailscale and relay pairing paths recover more
  reliably when the initially advertised route is not usable, and release builds
  honor the configured Tailscale Serve front-door port during startup and
  self-heal.
• Desktop polish fixes. Helper subprocesses no longer appear as extra app
  icons, spellcheck context menus behave correctly in editable fields, thread
  rename persistence is more reliable, and the sidebar rename editor is harder
  to trip up.

TaskWraith 1.6.7

1.6.7 - 2026-06-28

Added

• Universal composer scheduling. Workspace-backed single and Ensemble chats now have a Schedule clock in the composer controls. It opens a glass date/time picker with quick presets and uses the existing scheduled-task pipeline so delayed prompts stay restart-safe and run through the same unattended-authority guardrails.

Changed

• Scheduled task visibility. Scheduled-task pills now show a live countdown and switch to "due / waiting" when the timer has elapsed but the chat is still busy.
• More flexible iOS relay pairing. Device pairing can include a manually configured relay door alongside LAN/Tailscale discovery, making release builds less likely to get stuck on the wrong network path.

Fixed

• Sidebar rename reliability. Inline chat rename fields focus and select consistently, rename can be started deliberately from the row or menu, and renamed titles avoid unnecessary truncation in edit fields.
• Scheduled-task validation. The main process now rejects invalid or already elapsed schedule times before saving delayed work.

Release Verification

• macOS universal app notarized and stapled.
• iOS TestFlight build 56 uploaded successfully.

TaskWraith 1.6.6

TaskWraith 1.6.6

Added

• Decomposition groundwork. App and main-process orchestration have started moving out of the large root files into focused helper, hook, and IPC modules, making future changes easier to review without changing user-facing behavior.
• Sidebar workspace path actions. Workspace path controls are easier to reach from the sidebar during local project work.

Changed

• More robust iOS remote access. Dev and release builds recover Tailscale / relay routing more reliably, retry transient status probes, prefer recently successful relay doors on reconnect, and restart the embedded bridge on demand when pairing needs it.
• Smoother desktop transcript streaming. Electron transcript reveal and scroll ownership now stay active during provider output so streamed text feels less chunky and long-running replies do not fight the user's scroll position.
• Navigable app notices. Welcome / first-launch notification cards can now be dismissed permanently and moved through with explicit carousel controls.

Fixed

• Ensemble orchestration reliability. Role and Bossman mention routing now takes priority over ambiguous provider tags, stale round lifecycle state recovers cleanly, and shared-chat invite joins are harder to trip up.
• Cursor MCP bridge compatibility. Cursor and compatible runtimes can use the brokered TaskWraith MCP tool names that include hyphens while reserved TaskWraith tool namespaces remain protected from repo-provided collisions.
• Security hardening. Release 1.6.6 tightens agent trust boundaries across approval actions, Cursor MCP allowlisting, favicon fetching, external path grants, raw provider event persistence, PTY session ownership, git IPC scope, transcript local-link opening, relay connection caps, and encrypted relay resume/ACK handling. Retired Gemini OAuth profile material is purged instead of being recreated.

Verification

• npm run validate:release passed all required gates.
• npm run build:mac:notarized completed successfully.
• macOS app and DMG are Developer ID signed, notarized, stapled, and Gatekeeper accepted.
• npm run validate:mac-update-feed passed after final DMG stapling.
• Packaged Electron smoke and launch smoke passed.

TaskWraith 1.6.5

1.6.5 - 2026-06-27

Added

• User MCP server manager. Settings can now manage user-defined MCP servers,
  import/export provider snippets, show per-server readiness, and copy
  provider-specific config for Codex, Claude, Cursor, and compatible JSON/TOML
  targets. Remote server URLs, bearer headers, naming collisions, and invalid
  exports are validated before they reach provider runtimes.
• iOS diff review sheet. The companion's files-changed / diff summary rows
  now open a dedicated glass diff sheet for quick review from the composer area.
• Shared chats on iOS. Shared-human chat projections and the shared-chat type
  chooser now appear on the companion, with sidebar actions restored on desktop.
• Transcript user gutter. User messages gain a compact gutter/jump affordance
  so long transcripts can move back to the originating request more reliably.

Fixed

• iOS thread rename parity. Chat renames from the iOS companion sync back to
  the Mac, full titles are preserved across the bridge, and headers/sidebar rows
  avoid unnecessary truncation in rename fields and wide-enough title areas.
• iOS Bossman removal. Roster updates from the iOS companion now distinguish
  old clients that omit the Bossman marker from current clients explicitly sending
  isBossman: false, so turning Bossman off clears the Mac-side assignment and
  removes the crown instead of preserving the previous participant.
• Transcript jump stability. Message jump targets now converge more reliably
  through virtualized transcript rendering and stay anchored when navigating to a
  specific user message.
• Transcript table readability. Wide Markdown tables wrap and align more
  consistently across Electron and iOS transcripts.
• Claude picker availability. Fable remains visible but disabled while
  unavailable, and reasoning options such as Extra / Ultracode stay visible but
  unselectable on models that do not support them.

Changed

• MCP setup copy is clearer. Provider-tool setup now labels active MCP
  servers, routes settings searches to the right config panes, and explains the
  Cursor/Grok bridge fallback without implying retired Gemini setup work.
• Media previews are richer. Electron previews and inline audio waveform clips
  gained focused preview affordances and cleaner transcript presentation.

TaskWraith v1.6.4

Added

• Composer-aligned slash picker. Slash commands now open in a wider,
  composer-width picker with grouped sections, richer command descriptions, and
  custom monoline icons for review, planning, side-chat, ensemble, Gemini,
  workflow, settings, and utility commands.
• More slash command coverage. Multiview side panes, ensemble controls,
  workflow helpers, Gemini passthrough commands, prompt templates, model/context
  tools, and settings shortcuts can be run from typed slash commands or picker
  selection.

Changed

• Consistent theme opacity. Every named system theme now obeys Settings ->
  Appearance -> Main pane opacity, instead of only Light, Dark, Alabaster, and
  Obsidian honoring the slider.
• More readable popovers. The Settings menu, Approvals, Shares, and Devices
  mini pickers now use a 75% background material so their contents stay legible
  across glass-heavy themes.
• iOS display scaling. The companion gained a display-size scaling control for
  tuning the remote UI density on-device.

Fixed

• Slash routing hardening. Typed slash commands now route through the shared
  registry, preserve drafts when a pane handler redirects, resolve participants
  per focused pane, refresh Gemini command discovery after /commands reload, and
  handle discovered commands with argument placeholders.
• Share reconnect polish. Shared chat discovery and reconnect signals are more
  resilient when a linked device or collaborator returns after a brief disconnect.

TaskWraith v1.6.3

1.6.3 - 2026-06-26

Added

• Shared chats. You can now invite other people into a chat. Sharing runs over
  the same end-to-end-encrypted relay as the iOS companion: invitees join by
  confirming a short verification code, see a live projection of the conversation,
  and you stay in control from a People header with per-participant revoke and a
  one-click "Stop sharing." A new Shared section in the sidebar, a "New Shared
  Chat" entry in the + New menu, and a dedicated Shares settings tab manage the
  whole lifecycle; collaborator comments are clearly marked as external/untrusted.
• A bigger media toolkit for agents. Agents can now mix multitrack audio and
  encode, overlay and concatenate video natively (VideoToolbox, no ffmpeg),
  transcribe audio on-device, and inspect audio segments and video frames with an
  interactive scrubber, an NLE-style filmstrip and a DAW-style waveform player —
  all over the un-forgeable trusted-media channel. Producer outputs gain automatic
  posters, badges, an expand-to-view viewer and Finder/copy/save actions, and any
  player can be torn off into its own resizable pane.
• Audio & video playback on iOS. The companion streams and plays audio and
  video inline in the transcript over the encrypted link — chunked so it seeks and
  plays without downloading the whole asset first — with posters and metadata.
• Model context lengths. A new Context lengths view (in the sidebar Model Usage
  overlay and a Settings table, on both desktop and iOS) shows each model's
  official context window, and the composer context meter is now a clickable
  popover with per-participant detail.
• Sidebar control cluster. A traffic-light footer — Approvals, Shares and
  Devices — with at-a-glance popovers for pending approvals, active shares, and
  paired devices with a live-connected indicator.
• Composer plan popover. A plan control in the composer for setting a run's
  plan inline.
• Trust guide & setup docs. A top-level trust-and-safety guide (safe first-run
  path, capability matrix, local storage/reset notes, provider data boundaries,
  release-verification commands and known limits), an advanced optional-setup
  guide, a composer-variant gallery and refreshed README screenshots.

Changed

• Codex surfaces media. Codex runs now show their generated images and trusted
  audio/video in the transcript, at parity with the other providers.
• Looping workflows show live progress. A looping workflow reports per-iteration
  progress as it runs, and its verifier can run on a different provider than the
  maker.
• Media tools are gated like shell and file access. Media editing is now its
  own audited, approvable capability with read-only presets, rather than riding
  along with general tool access.
• Cursor/Grok bridge clarity. Write-capable Cursor and Grok runs use
  TaskWraith's scoped MCP broker without manual provider-side config, and the
  shared bridge copy no longer names retired Gemini as an active setup target.

Fixed

• No more repeated notification banner (iOS). The companion no longer raises a
  banner every time it registers for push notifications.
• iOS recovers instead of bricking. A keychain identity error (-34018) now
  recovers the device identity instead of leaving remote unusable, plus sidebar
  polish — single-line chat rows and the workspace utility icons unified into one
  glass pill.
• Collaboration hardening. Shared projections scrub secrets and collapse
  sensitive paths, appends are rate-limited, display-name impersonation is
  tightened, and shares are revoked when their chat is deleted.
• Composer plan control. Stays visible and renders its participant plan lanes
  correctly, and the side-chat composer gained the same parity controls.

TaskWraith v1.6.2

Added

• Refractive "liquid glass." An optional refractive-glass material that brings a
  subtle liquid-glass refraction to the composer, sidebars, pickers, dashboard and
  first-launch sheet in place of the flat frosted look. Toggle it under
  Settings → Appearance — it's independent of the other visual effects.
• Workflows can loop. A workflow can now run a maker → verifier → decide loop:
  each iteration is independently judged (accept / revise / reject), with a durable
  run history. Desktop shows per-iteration history in the sidebar; iOS shows a
  "N× · accepted" loop-progress badge.
• Audio, video & image tools for agents. Agents can play audio and video inline
  in the transcript, run waveform-backed audio analysis and native single-frame
  video decode, and generate images with a bring-your-own image-API-key UI — all
  over an un-forgeable trusted media channel.
• Bossman — ensemble manager. An opt-in manager that can reorder or replace
  ensemble participants and drive a shared goal, gated by an auto-approval policy
  with a full audit ledger.

Changed

• General chats are friendlier. "Global Chat" is now "General" across desktop and
  iOS, with a less technical welcome and softer chrome for non-coding conversations.
• App-icon picker (macOS). The Monoline and WWDC26 variants now render the correct
  canonical artwork in the Dock, and the picker thumbnails are colour-managed
  (8-bit sRGB).
• Branded macOS installer. The DMG now uses a branded background from the brand kit.

Fixed

• The transcript stays where you put it. Scrolling up is no longer overridden by an
  auto-snap to the bottom on new activity, and the streaming tail no longer flashes;
  the side-chat panel gained the same scroll-up release (desktop).
• No more dropped characters. Several per-keystroke text fields — ensemble role and
  goal/brief, the roster preset name, audit budgets and the guest model id — no longer
  drop or jumble characters as you type.
• More reliable iOS ↔ Mac pairing. Dev and release builds use distinct serve ports,
  dead relay doors are dropped from the QR code, and off-LAN pairing tries the right
  door first with clearer, actionable error copy.
• iOS polish. Smoother streaming with a reliable "Show more", a fixed transcript
  scroll crash on ensemble send, and no more false "Mac busy or asleep" banner when a
  request times out while still connected.
• Empty "New Chat" tabs are tidied up. Never-used New Chat tombstones are reaped
  automatically (drafts, ensembles and workflow-compose are left alone).
• Grok remembers across turns. Grok's default transport re-injects cross-turn
  context instead of starting fresh each turn.
• Composer glass polish. The native-glass composer renders its exact shell variant
  (no stale replica) with a smooth top edge.

TaskWraith 1.6.1

TaskWraith 1.6.1 — local-first macOS workbench for running and reviewing AI coding agents.

Added

• Composer drafts persist across switching threads, backgrounding, and an app restart (desktop + iOS).
• Per-participant context meter — the composer context donut is clickable, opening a context-meter popover; in ensembles it follows the focused participant and live-ticks the running one.
• iOS — rich completion notifications — a banner with the final message line and a coloured "N files · +A −B" diff summary, composed on-device over the encrypted link.
• iOS — inline @mention tinting in the composer (single-provider and guest chats too).
• Provider API rate limits in Model Usage.

Changed

• Smoother streaming — a matched type-out reveal plus render-coalescing and scroll/markdown perf retunes (desktop + iOS).
• Kimi defaults to K2.7 Code.
• Grok native goals via slash commands; Codex long-context estimates.

Fixed

• Ensemble completion alerts fire once per round, not per participant.
• Multiview diff stats are per-pane in the Create-PR row.
• Live usage meters — Codex reads live; no false 0% on stale windows.
• iOS transcript stability — fixed a crash scrolling during an ensemble send, reduced streaming flicker, kept the @mention hue while typing.

---

macOS universal build is notarized + stapled. Windows and Linux artifacts are added by CI.

TaskWraith v1.6.0

Added

• Multiview — split the workbench into up to four live panes. Open several
  chats side by side over one shared environment, each with its own composer,
  agent aura, and ambient FX; drag the dividers to resize. Welcome and split
  states render correctly per pane.
• Workflows are now a first-class chat type. A dedicated Workflows welcome
  screen with its own compose controls and a "Run as ensemble" toggle where the
  ensemble feature gate is enabled, plus a Workflows sidebar section. Scheduled
  workflows recover after a restart, and workflows project to paired iOS devices
  (read/view).
• Reusable notification area. The welcome and first-launch screens now host
  a dismissable notice card for significant changes — provider deprecations, new
  models or providers, shipped features — rotating through more than one with the
  same swipe effect as the activity heatmaps.
• Hover labels on the composer footer icons. Screen Watch, Goal, Copy
  transcript, and Multiview reveal a frosted glass label on hover/focus, so the
  icon-only buttons are discoverable without taking up resting space.
• Grok Composer 2.5 Fast. Grok now runs on Composer 2.5 Fast — the new
  default — selectable from the Grok model picker.
• iOS — offline Demo Mode. Explore the companion with no paired Mac:
  interactive sample replies, a populated Inspector (Changes / Agents / Side
  chats / Notes / Usage), an offline File Editor + Diff Studio, and demo chat
  creation. Also new on iOS: a Workflows section, an iPad sidebar that opens
  collapsed to headers, a live "still working" anchor during tool calls, and
  attached images that render inline in the transcript.
• Ollama local models — per-chat tool tiers, run profiles, and Cloud
  sign-in. A two-pane composer picker sets how much tool access a local model
  gets per chat (a four-step tier ladder, Tier 4 = full provider parity) with an
  independent run profile; the run path and mid-run tool gates honor the per-chat
  tier, and the chip warns when a Tier 4 selection can't take effect. You can
  also sign in to Ollama's hosted Cloud models from the provider login terminal,
  Settings → Providers, and onboarding.
• TaskWraith Canvas — a live web surface agents can see and drive. A
  read-only preview surface, then ref-based click / fill and Set-of-Mark
  annotation, plus signed-elevated evaluation behind a dedicated, non-grantable
  approval lockbox. Open it as a floating window or an embedded multiview pane
  from the composer; read-only Canvas previews project to paired iPhones with
  close / reload controls, and an iOS-simulator device driver can drive a
  screenshot-only canvas.
• Multi-host iOS pairing. One iPhone can pair with several Macs or PCs —
  per-host session management and per-OS host glyphs — plus optional Tailscale
  tailnet discovery and on-demand pairing.
• Settings → Roster, plus a dedicated iOS Roster page. A full
  ensemble-roster preset manager: per-participant provider, model, reasoning,
  permissions, role, brief, and turn order, with orchestration controls and
  cross-device preset load / save / delete on iOS.
• App icon switcher. Choose between Regular, WWDC26, Monoline, and Glass app
  icons from Settings → Appearance (the desktop dock) and the iOS Settings sheet.
• Proposed plans. An agent can propose a structured plan that appears as an
  inline card you approve before it implements — and the approve / respond /
  dismiss round-trip works from paired iPhones too.
• Cross-thread recall. An agent can resolve a vague reference to a past run
  on another thread and read how far it got, through gated tools: zero-prompt for
  your own workspace, gated across workspaces, allowlist-scoped from a phone, and
  with verifiable citations.
• Inline transcript media. Provider image outputs, tool image results, and
  workspace images embedded in markdown become first-class transcript media with
  full-size preview, and project to iOS.
• Run and launch targets. Discover and run VS Code shell tasks and Xcode run
  targets, and open previews straight from launch-output URLs, with launch
  attempts surfaced in the run rail.
• Inline questions + an iOS first-launch guide. ask_user_question renders
  as an inline transcript card on desktop and iOS, and a new iOS first-launch
  guide mirrors the desktop onboarding with live provider readiness from your Mac.

Changed

• Gemini has been retired. Google ended the Gemini CLI sign-in, so Gemini is
  no longer available for new runs and is removed from new-run and picker
  surfaces, the sidebar usage meter, Settings (Providers + MCP), onboarding, and
  new iOS run surfaces. Existing Gemini chats, labels/glyphs, transcripts, and
  usage history are preserved; new chats default to Claude with sticky last-used.
• Grok and Cursor are full first-class providers. The experimental
  eligibility gate has been removed — both are accepted everywhere like the other
  providers, write-capable and gated by approval mode.
• Cleaner startup. The window stays masked until the renderer finishes
  hydrating, so there is no flash of half-loaded UI.
• Readability + performance polish. Slash / mention / context / palette
  popovers are frosted; welcome heading sizing is consistent across composer
  shells; the iOS Pair-with-Mac screen was rebuilt in TaskWraith chrome;
  re-visiting a chat reuses its cached hydrated state to skip a redundant render;
  and iOS streaming auto-follow is smoother.
• Automatic provider failover (opt-in). When a provider hits a quota wall,
  TaskWraith can pause and reroute the run to a healthy provider without
  escalating its permissions. Off by default, behind a setting.
• Settings, reorganised. A more discoverable settings sidebar and a safety
  overview on desktop and iOS, and the Tailscale remote-access helper now sits
  above Bridge networking on the pairing screen.

Fixed

• iOS image attachments work end to end. Attached photos now reach the agent
  and render inline in the transcript, and the encoder no longer silently drops a
  dense image.
• iOS Grok composer keeps focus. The composer shell no longer flips its
  layout — losing the tucked tabs and focus — when you tap in.
• Multiview robustness. Per-pane composer parity and routing, a
  reasoning-options crash, focused-state leaking into resting panes, per-pane
  Screen Watch gating, and welcome cards/dashboard hiding when the view is split.
• iOS polish. The roster editor no longer dismisses when you focus the role
  field, the jump-to-latest pill stops sticking, long markdown list/quote items
  wrap instead of truncating, and demo mode can't contaminate a real paired
  session.
• iOS no longer gets stuck "running" after backgrounding. A run that finishes
  while the app is backgrounded now reconciles its streaming state on reconnect,
  so the thread leaves the running state and shows the final message.
• Read-only Grok seats can't hard-cancel a run. The Composer Shell tool is
  denied on read-only seats instead of cancelling the whole run.
• Clearer activity diffs. Inline tool-diff add / delete lines read as red and
  green through theme-aware tokens.

TaskWraith v1.5.9

TaskWraith v1.5.9

A same-day follow-up to v1.5.8 with two field-feedback fixes.

Changed

• iOS composer collapses to one line when idle. On the phone, when the composer isn't focused (keyboard down) it now collapses to a single-line input + model pill + send — the diff/changes rows, participant roster, queued prompts, and telemetry rail tuck away and reappear when you tap in.

Fixed

• Ensemble "Task Complete" summary covers the whole round. The end-of-round completion card now sums tokens and cost across every participant, unions their file changes, and spans the full round duration — previously it showed only the last participant's numbers, which badly understated long continuous ensembles.

---

macOS: notarized + stapled universal (.dmg / .zip + update feed). Windows/Linux installers are attached by CI shortly after publish.
