Fredrin

The Fredrin changelog

Every feature and fix we’ve shipped to the app, newest first, straight from what merged.

  1. New

    • Optimize the website for Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)
    • Automatically complete a goal when its completion condition is met
    • centre the Notes document in a capped reading column
    • show plan progress on the Workflow panel's Plan checklist row
    • fold note Copy link and Share into the meta line, retire the full-width toggle
    • Update Atrium hover UX: replace full emoji list with action buttons
    • Make starting a new session an obvious, always-available action
    • simplify the open report's header into one toolbar row
    • CI spillover: run on ryzen-9 while a slot is free, overflow to Blacksmith when all three are busy
    • Fix garbled text shown at the start of a chat agent session
    • smooth directional transitions for Notes folder navigation and note open
    • Fix incorrect blocking: user is blocked when they should not be
    • Remove the Community app
    • Investigate intermittent Fredrin Cloud errors reported by user
    • add Settings → Project → Prompts and move every prompt setting out of General
    • Replace bottom-of-screen update notice with a one-time glassmorphism update popup
    • manage Claude setup tokens only from each machine's Credential list
    • Shrink the glob lane's "unknown, always run" set: resolve what each file reads so it stops running on unrelated PRs
    • Remove docs/reference and guard docs/ top-level directories
    • open the composer's workflow, model and runs-on selectors with Cmd+W, Cmd+M, Cmd+B
    • Runbook becomes the sixth OKF kind: docs/runbooks moves into docs/concepts/runbooks, shape-guarded and retrievable
    • complete a goal from a Complete button instead of the ⋯ menu
    • Select glob-lane guards by the paths they scan, so a PR runs only the guards its diff can trip
    • Narrow FULL_RUN_TRIGGERS per lane: a migration, biome.json or one package's package.json must not rerun the whole repo
    • Move all GitHub-related settings into a dedicated Project → GitHub section
    • simplify the Dev app into a two-column layout: command list left, selected command's terminal right
    • PR CI runs the specs the diff can reach: `pnpm test --affected <base>`, vitest lanes first
    • Investigate and restore missing Workflow/Artifacts section in live demo
    • Add a Memory section under Project and move all memory-related functionality into it
    • Simplify UI: remove "New tab runs" label and the cmd+T/project default bottom section
    • Vercel tab says "no repositories" for projects with a GitHub repo: ProjectRepo rows are never written
    • Investigate: completed clean worktrees never appear in listStaleWorktreeCleanups (e.g. FRED-21HDHT)
    • Remove separator between models and browser/shell options
    • Desktop worktree retention runs for ALL local projects from the main process, plus an orphan/root scan
    • Worktree reclaim: a merged ticket whose remote branch is [gone] should be reclaimable, not 'no upstream'
    • Fix model grouping for Fredrin AI/Cloud: Claude-only section, Others group, search, remove OpenCode, add Grok
    • Workflow wait: broker parks hookless runtimes (opencode, cursor, copilot, pi, hermes, grok) until answered
    • Workflow-wait guard hook holds Claude and Codex until the human answers
    • Workflow wait: inferred sign-off items must be released only by a real answer
    • tell Fix CI and other non-build runs which Workflow waits hold them
    • Set a default agent for new Chat tabs from the + ▾ menu
    • never auto-merge or auto-complete a ticket with an unanswered required answer

    Fixed

    • align pricing across visible copy, code docs and Memory
    • settle the two reads-audit escapes that keep main red
    • close nine audited live bugs across v1 key scope, project delete, job API keys, seat billing and remote/desktop runs
    • split the FRED-JGCX19 coexistence case so a red names its cause
    • run Vitest lanes under a scratch TMPDIR the orchestrator removes
    • show the ticket's workflow name in full instead of clipping it by 6px
    • fire the coexistence test's synthetic SessionStart only after the fixture CLI is up
    • defer dropping Workspace.memoryEnabled to a later release
    • remove separator between remote-agent providers and Shell in spawn menu
    • give the workflow coexistence test's PTY waits one shared deadline
    • treat regenerable tool/build files as known-ignored so the remote worktree GC stops retaining everything
    • say why the ticket Preview is unavailable when GitHub withholds Deployments access
    • Resume hint ignores settled jobs that never started a conversation
    • Keep the Settings → Workflow source rail in view while the step editor scrolls

    • Scope the workflow-activity refetch to the ticket its event names

    • Toast needs "X"
    • Remove the Compare panel from workflow settings
    • A workflow rewrite keeps the old workflow name after silently dropping its steps
