• localStorage Name Recovery: Agent names and colors are persisted to localStorage so they survive app updates and runtime restarts.
• Onboarding Polish: Returning users get auto-filled email on the sign-in screen, plus a window drag region before login.
• Windows Build Parity: Cross-platform code quality improvements and Windows-specific build fixes.

Bug Fixes

• Agent Export Fixed: Export now fails loudly when no files can be read, instead of producing an empty package.
• Memory Probe Errors: Specific error messages for “runtime not connected,” “no active session,” and “timeout” instead of generic failures.
• sendMessage Spam Eliminated: Fixed duplicate message sending and separated system chat from user conversations.

New Features

• Task Management Overhaul: Removed the task creation modal : start typing a title inline and click to expand for details. Default due date and assignee set to current date and yourself. Tasks organized by date groups (Past Due, Today, Tomorrow, Later, No Due Date).
• Inline Task Editing: Labels, assignee, priority, and due date are now editable directly in the task row without opening the detail panel.
• Drag & Drop Sub-tasks: Drag a task onto another to nest it as a sub-task. Sub-tasks can have their own sub-tasks. Re-order tasks within date groups by dragging.
• Task Completion UX: 4-second undo toast on task completion. Warning dialog when completing a task with incomplete sub-tasks.
• GitHub Workflows on Dashboard: Build statuses display on the project dashboard with toaster notifications on completion. Removed terminal from the dashboard. Full commit message expansion on click.
• Export & Import Rework: Export now captures all files and per-agent capabilities (tools, skills, plugins). Auth key/token scanning with placeholders like {{OPENAI_API_KEY}}. Import redesigned as full page with action bar and card-style mode selection. Importing to existing agents now works properly.
• Password Generator: Added password generator for signup, reset, and forgot password pages with 12-character minimum (up from 6). Auto-login after reset, auto-save for pre-fill.
• Project Root Auto-Detection: Auto-detects when your folder selection isn’t the root of the actual project and prompts to correct it.
• Project Header Controls: Start, stop, and restart controls added to the project header with icons in the submenu.
• Sub-Agent Chat History: Sub-agent chats now save to their respective database and display in history. Main chat shows all chats with the sub-agent indicated. Chat history UI fits within the sidebar.
• Per-Agent Tools: Each agent now has its own capability group and item enable state. Properly saved, packaged in export, and restored on import.
• Source Control & File Explorer: Commit history on project dashboard, gitignore-aware file explorer.
• Stripe & Billing Overhaul: Full subscription lifecycle with usage-based billing, webhook handling, and account portal migration to account.moxby.com.
• Display Names & Collab UI: Display names throughout collaboration, overflow popover, online/offline indicators.
• Multi-List Task Management: Multiple task lists, expandable commit history, owner-only doc delete.
• Native File Drag & Drop: Drag files from your desktop directly into the chat window. Supported across macOS and Windows.
• Voice Input & Wake Words: Wake word activation from any screen, voice input prefix handling, and system audio detection.
• Notification Center: Full notification center with improved positioning, layout, and project tools integration.

Improvements

• Sidebar Collapse UX: Projects, agents, and tasks submenus now collapse to icons when entering a project or agent. Hover to re-expand. Bottom toggle for expand/collapse matching across all sections.
• Header Alignment: All header rows (sidebar, chat, tasks, detail panel) aligned to consistent heights for a clean flat layout. Dashboard/Code toggle updated to tab bar.
• Agent Navigation: Clicking an agent opens sidebar chat with dashboard instead of main chat. Menu collapses to icons for more workspace.
• Memory & QMD: QMD search/probe shows actual search results instead of just hit counts. Sub-agents restricted to their own vector DB, memory, and chat. QMD enabled universally via the main agent.
• Notification Read State: Notifications mark as read when opening the panel instead of needing manual mark.
• Sign Out Flow: Sign out properly returns to the sign-in screen.
• Per-Agent Workspace Isolation: Each agent gets its own workspace directory. Fixes agent identity bleed, export/import failures, and memory cross-contamination.
• Instant Agent Name Persistence: Agent names stored immediately by the runtime. Removed 15-second timer that caused name reversion.
• Profile JWT Auto-Refresh: Profile API calls proactively refresh expired JWT tokens instead of failing with session errors.
• Agent Import Retry: Marketplace imports retry with exponential backoff (up to 4 attempts) and seed core files for new agents.
• Auto-Scroll Chat: Chat auto-scrolls during streaming with react-virtuoso for smooth scrolling in long conversations.
• Onboarding Polish: Returning users get auto-filled email on sign-in, plus window drag region before login.

Bug Fixes

• Import Key Handling: Updating a key during import no longer skips user input and imports placeholders.
• Import to Existing Agent: Importing to an existing agent works and properly overwrites files.
• Import Rollback: Rollback on import failure no longer deletes all agents.
• sql.js Upsert: Fixed learned_skills upsert using prepare/bind/step instead of unreliable d.run with params.
• Runtime Error Extraction: Improved error message extraction in invokeToolRaw.
• Agent Name Sync: savedName now beats runtime identity in the sync loop, preventing name reversion.
• Drag & Drop: Fixed WebKit ghost/cursor issues with pointer-based DnD in task list and agent submenu.
• Tools Missing in Packaged App: Use fileURLToPath for runtime-wrapper path resolution, fixing space-encoded paths.
• Agent Export: Export now fails loudly when no files can be read, instead of producing an empty package.
• Memory Probe Errors: Specific error messages for runtime not connected, no active session, and timeout instead of generic failures.
• Agent Delete Cleanup: Full cleanup on agent delete : removes capabilities, secrets, memory records, and project associations.
