Fredrin

The Fredrin changelog

Everything we shipped between August 25, 2026 and August 29, 2026 — page 6 of 18.

  1. New

    • Enforce incremental check-off of acceptance/verification checkboxes during build (no gaps at completion)
    • Provider error bodies leak Fredrin's solvency and an OpenRouter key URL to users
    • markdown in a project's own Memory folder is Project Context
    • Fix bug: system reports no session running while a session is actually active
    • Improve security and performance: Aug 29, 2026
    • record a completed Fredrin Cloud hosted run in HELLO.txt
    • record a completed Fredrin Cloud hosted run in HELLO.txt
    • Cloud: OpenRouter 403s the credential, so every hosted run dies in 22 seconds

    • Redesign workspace/project dropdowns and fix content not refreshing on selection
    • Add voice chat screen accessible from mic button in create ticket

    • Make the bottom option popup mobile friendly
    • Direct messages reach a phone: an avatar-menu row and a bottom sheet
    • Auto-start merge-to-main ticket when staging goal finishes with auto-merge enabled
    • hyper-minimalistic first-run onboarding: the screen is the step

    Fixed

    • authoritative settle writes the log before the wallet, so model spend draws down purchased credit
    • reap a completed ticket's broker session instead of leaking its slot
    • request the GitHub App permissions the product needs, so "no access" can clear
    • mobile presence avatars are no longer cut off at the top of the screen

  2. New

    • Settings: one destination per subject, with the scope inside the pane
    • Shared planning sessions: swap the pane from localStorage to the shared session
    • Plan-mode entry audits the existing plan and grills, instead of asking what to change
    • Remove the 'own login' label
    • Cloud: a failed terminal status PATCH loses the run's token billing (status_write 500)
    • Let a ticket's auto-merge be turned off before the build starts, not just after its PR opens
    • Daily smoke and regression test creation and CI fix-up
    • Audit codebase security and performance, grade and remediate if below 70
    • Add bulk edit for 'Runs on' (machine) field in multi-select mode
    • Cloud: the sprite boots but its agent never dials home: two silent attempts, no boot log
    • Move the typecheck gate to TypeScript 7 (native): 32s to 6s
    • A PR mentioned in prose can kill a ticket's merge button
    • Cloud: every hosted run dies on /api/agents/jobs/<id> -> 500 {}, and the route cannot say why
    • Cloud: no API can name an instance or read an AgentJob, so "is cloud working" has no number
    • skip CI's expensive steps on a prose-only pull request
    • Detect if local git is available
    • /demo cards open the real ticket they depict, not a fabricated sample
    • Shared planning sessions: fan turns and section state out over Ably
    • Move login page off /welcome to a proper login route

    Fixed

    • goal-driven tickets now move into Running when their Worker starts
    • ship the connect-fork ADR as accepted, unreddening main
    • a local-git ticket must not need a signed-in gh to start

    • Add automatic Fix CI trigger option to reduce human-in-the-loop
    • Fix non-functional transcription feature in Create Ticket flow
    • Retire the proposed ADR step: author status on the branch, delete the post-merge sweep

    • Billing: the statement's Balance column interleaves three separate accounts
    • Hide Publish to GitHub section when Local Git toggle is on
    • Reuse 'Add .fredrin/' ticket for new project setup instead of separate ticket
    • Cloud: the Sprites orphan sweep is not reaping - 4 leaked sprites, one running 13 days

    • Improve security and performance: Aug 27, 2026
    • Sync ticket plan mode in real-time across multiple users

    • Add visual indicator for comments left on other users' tickets
    • Fix CI on main

    Fixed

    • Improve desktop notification message content beyond 'Claude finished'

    • Auto-pull toasts a failure when a concurrent fetch wins the origin/main ref race
    • Add ability to copy workflow items from one profile to another (e.g. default → jae)
    • Observe Ticket only works on locally-run sessions: reach the paired machine that owns the transcript
    • Standup and product-history skills are one person hardcoded: move both into the repo and give the API a way to say who the caller is
    • Fix ticket FRED-WABITP incorrectly appearing under "Just Me" filter
    • pnpm release cannot push to main, and publishes to Spaces before the push so a failure half-ships
    • Detect GitHub App permission drift and ask the installation to accept it
    • Prevent auto-loading chat session when opening a completed ticket
