The Fredrin changelog

Everything we shipped between June 29, 2026 and July 10, 2026 — page 14 of 18.

  1. New

    • allow naming a remote agent instead of showing only hostname
    • Desktop broker: PTY master writes can EAGAIN-spin the broker event loop (same libuv blocking-writes bug as FRED-3FHO6G)
    • Redesign ticket approval indicator: approver avatars + quiet "Approved" instead of a loud thumbs-up
    • Alert when a remote agent goes dark while owning live runs (notification + at-risk card marker)
    • Agent daemon hang: runaway stream-write loop in a timer callback pins the event loop at job launch
    • Remove top menu icon tray
    • replace goal shaping interview with plain inline goal create
    • SEC: Promote site-wide CSP from Report-Only to enforcing (protect the Electron bridge + managed/BYOS keys)
    • Goal panel: quick-add tickets into a goal (+ filter-aware orb create)
    • Add user autocomplete/selection when typing @ in comment field
    • Live remote run: surface agent heartbeat staleness + one-click Stop & Re-run
    • Community API plumbing: expose boards read + reply via v1 API and CLI so agents can read and respond

    • Add ticket approval signal similar to GitHub PR approval
    • Send email notification when someone replies to a user in community
    • Remove dispatch-time model routing: model shown in picker is what runs
    • add ability to re-phrase a ticket description/plan to language easier for the user to understand. like 'explain to me like i'm 10.' , it should be like a mini-summary report section somewhere perha
    • Notify users when they are @-mentioned (bell notification → deep-link to thread)
    • Worktree binding guard false-positive: stale FREDRIN_BOUND_TICKET_ID stamp bricks a ticket's build with no self-heal

    • Fix CI action on the Review red-CI banner: dispatch the Worker to fix failing GitHub checks
    • Fix chat scrolling feeling like it glides / has poor scroll experience

    • add multi-select assignee filter to the board header
    • Remote dispatch hardening: no silent remote fallback on desktop, no false Running state, persistent dispatch-failure surface
    • Assigned ticket loses mission screen: keep first-run surface, dispatch remote on Plan/Build
    • Remote-agent jobs always mirror conversation to server: gate applies to local broker sessions only

    • Fix workflow item not persisting after save

    • Remote dispatch policy for blocking add-on steps: park+notify attended, degrade unattended
