Changelog
-
See what each session is doing from its tab, its sidebar row and its space, and which pane has the focus, with Esc to leave a pane.
New
- Show what a session is doing in place of its icon, on its sidebar row, its tab and the space holding it: an orb while a turn runs, a breathing ring while the agent asks for permission, a dot when a turn finished while the session was not on screen, and a circle with ! when the last turn failed
- Press Esc to give the focus back to the window from a pane, unless what holds the focus in it takes Esc itself
Changed
- Step through the stack of the pane holding the focus with ⌃⇥ and ⌃⇧⇥, and through the tabs anywhere else, the spaces included while the sidebar lists them
- Show the pane holding the focus by raising its floating card over the others, or by its title's chip in the Flat layout, in place of a stronger edge
- Draw the selected row in the sidebar and the library lighter while the focus is elsewhere
Fixed
- Keep your messages on the right of a session's transcript
- Type into a file in the right panel without clicking it first
- End a project heading's buttons in the sidebar where its rows' buttons end
- Keep the gaps between floating cards even
- Keep the terminal's cursor still while output arrives

-
Fixes to the order of spaces, the Settings window and the right panel in the Flat layout, and a faster sidebar and transcript.
Changed
- List the sidebar's rows, and lay out a running turn, faster in large projects and long sessions
Fixed
- Switch spaces with ⌘1 to ⌘9 in the order the sidebar lists them, which is now the order of their tabs
- Keep the open Settings window on the section it shows when ⌘, brings it forward
- Fill the right panel like the content beside it in the Flat layout, where the window showed through it
- Find a new session through the Cydonia tools as soon as it has a number
-
Each window has one strip of tabs, a tab for each entry and each space, and a pane can hold a stack of entries. Spaces can be listed in the sidebar in place of the tabs.
New
- Open entries and spaces as tabs in one strip along the top of the window, reordered by dragging and scrolled sideways once they no longer fit
- Stack entries in one pane by dropping one on a pane's middle. The pane's title row shows the stack as a deck: press it to pick the entry in front or move it out, and step through the stack with ⌃⇥ and ⌃⇧⇥
- List each space with its entries in the sidebar in place of the window's tabs, with Settings › Appearance › Sidebar › Spaces in sidebar. The panes' title rows then run along the top of the window
Changed
- Show a pane's tools in its title row while the pane has the focus or the pointer is over its title row
- Draw the strip's tabs flat in the Flat layout
Fixed
- Open a board an agent makes in the default board view, and its cards with a plain title
- Bring the Settings window forward on ⌘, pressed in it, instead of opening another
-
Find entries by their labels from the search palette and @, and fixes to floating tabs, the formatting bar, selections and the Settings window.
New

- Keep the formatting bar up while its block menu is open, so opening the menu no longer dismisses it
- Drop a selection in a session or a comment once the focus moves elsewhere, such as into the composer
- Bring the open Settings window forward instead of opening a second one after the main window was closed and reopened, and apply what it changes to the reopened window
- Set the composer and other glass controls off a light floating card with a soft shadow, where they blended into it
- Keep a link's preview card opaque while the pointer is over it
-
What is open floats on a card over the window, the new default layout, with Flat a pick away in Settings. A What's New sheet says what changed the first time a release opens.
New
- Draw what is open on a floating card over the window, picked as a layout in Settings › Appearance › Window, with Flat to go back. Floating is the default
- Set how much of the window shows through the card with Card transparency, as see-through as it goes by default

- Return to the pane a space was last focused on when switching to it

- Draw a letter under a block caret in the same colour a selection of the caret's colour gives it, in articles, code blocks, text fields and terminals
-
Apps: install one from a registry and it runs in its own view, reaching only its own tables and the hosts it names. Links to files open the file, and text stays readable under a selection, a highlight or a block cursor.
New
- Install an app from File › Install App… with its reference, as in ghcr.io/owner/app:1.0.0. Apps are listed in the sidebar's Apps group and the Library's Apps tab, belong to no project, and keep their own tables
- See what an app reaches while it starts: tables of its own, and the hosts it fetches from, the only ones it can reach

- Keep each pane's tab in front when a space opens
- Leave a dragged lane's or group's rows out of the list while it is carried

Article threads: ask about a passage and the answer stays with the article. Cards sent to a session you pick, cards that wait on other cards, and a description on each board for the agents working it. Agents' notes in an article's margin, @ links to board cards, an extended sidebar, and a window that redraws only what changed.

- Open every switch in the composer as a submenu, and scroll a long one

- Sort a project's entries by hand, by name or by when they were written to
- Open an entry's menu with a right press anywhere on its row
- Find the entry a pane is showing in the sidebar, with the projects above it opened to it
- Start a first run with a project already open and sessions turned on
Changed
- An entry's menu drops from the end of its row rather than its left edge

- Name a page article_path in the agent tools, the way the app spells it
- Move to bezel 0.1.23
Fixed
- Put a cover on an article only where one was asked for
- Measure a page by one inset whichever width it is read at
-
A layout is a space, the docs are on the site, and a selection follows the pointer off the text.
New
- Pick the families the app is set in, and one size for everything fixed pitch
- Open the right panel beside an article or a board, not only beside a session — one panel per project, with its terminals and files kept there
- Start a session with any ACP client the registry publishes, not a fixed few
- Order layouts by hand, and open a new shell tab where you already are

- Put an article or a board away from an agent, and bring it back
- Let agents delete an article or a board, behind a switch of its own in Settings › MCP
- Turn article covers off for the app, giving the band's space back to the page
- See which installed agents the registry has moved on from, and update them in place
Changed
- A layout is a space, named the same on screen and on disk
- The right panel stands beside a space as the shell does, rather than going down when one opens
- Pane tabs and the right panel's tabs are one strip: an icon, a reference, a mark for unsaved work, and a row that scrolls once it fills
- Reach the Developer section with a feature rather than a debug build
- Lead with running agents on the front page, and tighten the site's radii and buttons
- An agent is asked about before it is installed: what it fetches, where from, and whether the download is checked
- Install, update and remove are glyphs on the agent row, and the version is the link to what it was published from
Fixed
- Keep extending a selection when the pointer leaves the text it started in
- Draw the queue of the session the pane is on
- One layout per entry, and one meaning per sidebar row
- Keep a right panel per session, land the caret in an open card, and put the focus in the pane that was pressed
- Scroll a board, a list of cards or the agent catalogue without the window working for it
-
Tabs in every pane, a board that reads as a list, and entries that move between projects.
New
- Open several entries in one pane and step between them as tabs, carrying a tab to another pane
- Lay a board out as a list instead of columns, switched from its foot
- Find cards on a board by typing, and jump to the one you meant

Fixed
- Move the caret with the pane the focus lands in
- Land the caret in the composer when a session opens, and align the pending row

-
Split the window into panes, and a sidebar that stays where you put it.
New
- Split the window into panes and drag entries between them
- Group a layout’s entries under it in the sidebar, and let one span projects
- Arrange a project’s entries by hand, dragging a row where it belongs
- Pin an entry to the top of its project from the band’s menu
Changed
- List entries where they were left rather than by what was written to last, so an agent’s writes no longer reshuffle the sidebar
- Raise a new entry to the top of the list until it is arranged, and keep pinned rows above it
- Unpin an entry and take it out of its layout when it is archived
- Give the right-hand panel a share of the window instead of a fixed width, and keep a width you dragged
- Look for a new release every hour rather than every six
Fixed
- Draw each pane from its own state, so moving the focus no longer moves what the other panes are showing
- Cover the column with the right-hand panel in a window too narrow to stand it beside the chat
-
Quote what an agent said, hear when a turn finishes, and boards that arrange themselves.

- Move or delete a board column from its own menu, and reorder columns through agent tools
- Step between panel tabs with ctrl-tab, the chord that steps between entries elsewhere
- Archive an entry straight from its sidebar row
Changed
- Name board columns in upper case as they are typed
- Scroll to the newest message after sending one, and follow a card being written
- Light every turn the transcript is showing, not only the one being read
- Drop the terminal panel's static label and the composer menu's new-session row
- Upgrade Bezel to 0.1.19
Fixed
- Keep the composer band's presses and scrolling off the transcript beneath it
- Contain a wheel inside an expanded step's output instead of moving the stream with it
- Spend a press that dismisses a popover on the dismissal alone
- Put board scrollbars beside the cards rather than over them
- Say seconds without a leading 00m in the composer's status line
-

The app keeps itself current and the keys are yours: a release is found and staged quietly and swapped on the way out of one click, every command's chord is Settings' to move, and one of them brings cydonia forward from inside anything else.
New
- Take the next release without leaving the app: found and fetched quietly, staged beside this one, and swapped as the process exits
- Say whether to look for releases at all, and read what is waiting, from Settings > General
- Watch an install rather than wait on it: a spinner while it runs, the step it has reached beside the name, and what it printed when it fails
- Move any command's chord from Settings > Shortcuts, recorded off the keyboard rather than typed
- Bring cydonia forward from inside another app, on a chord macOS holds on its behalf
- Format a run of selected text from a ribbon that arrives with it: bold, italic, strikethrough, code and a link
- Read a page as the markdown it is on ⌘E, and write it there
- Set the width every page defaults to, rather than answering it page by page
- Wrap a long line inside a code block, or leave it to scroll sideways, from Settings > Appearance
- Open and close a project from an agent, making the directory if it is not there
- Read a card's text as the markdown it is
- Spawn an agent off the PATH a shell would give it, whichever way the app was launched, and read the stderr of one that will not start
- Hold the window opaque in light, where there is no frost to keep
- Keep every preference in settings.toml, leaving state.toml the bookkeeping it is named for
Fixed
- Keep the transparency the appearance asks for when the theme is moved to System, rather than holding the one the pinned mode left
- Hold the settings window opaque when the palette goes frosted around it
- Hold a session to the agent's registry id rather than its name, so an agent the publisher renames stops stranding every session opened under the old one
- Keep a new session's empty state, and its file unwritten, when all the agent has done is clear its throat on stderr
- Reach an agent installed after the session that names it, rather than holding the placeholder until a relaunch
- Name no agent on a fresh install, and stop opening a project starting one nobody configured
- Put a notice where the blank pane was when there is no agent to run, and stop a new session taking a stale one
- Copy a card's text to the clipboard as the text it is, and let the lane scroll while a card in it is being written
- Stop a sideways gesture over the lanes being read as a vertical one
- Send a window command to the window in front rather than the one that owned the menu
-
cydonia answers as a server of its own now: the boards and articles a project holds are tools the agents you run can reach, behind one door on this machine at an address that is the same every launch.
New
- Open one door on this machine and offer cydonia's own tools to the agents it runs
- Work a project's boards from an agent: read them, write and move a card, add or drop a column
- Read and write a project's articles from an agent, a rename included
- Keep the address across a restart, on a port pinned rather than picked
- Turn the tools on, and whether they may edit, from Settings > MCP
- Bind a session's tools to the project it was opened in, so a call cannot reach past it
- Name every tool by the surface it works, so a flat list reads as the sets it is
- Offer pi ACP in the agents catalog
- Set a page across the pane rather than in the reading column, from its header menu
- Paste a screenshot straight into a document, kept in the article's own directory
- Copy a dropped picture in beside the document rather than pointing at where it came from
Fixed
- Stop the slash picker's highlight walking back to the first row on the composer's caret blink
- Hold the slash picker to the composer's width instead of letting it run as wide as the window
-
Boards are yours to shape: name the columns, address every card by a handle you can say out loud, and read what a pane is showing off a header that carries its own controls.
New
- Name a board's columns, and add or drop them as the work changes
- Give every card a handle, ROAD-12, from a board key you can edit
- Open a board's name and key together from its name in the header
- Put a header on every pane: what it is showing, and what to do to it

- Keep the session a card was dispatched to across a quit
- Move to bezel 0.1.11 and the Lucide icon set
- Come back to the entry the window was left on, in the pane it is read in
Fixed
- Stop a re-read of a project dropping the card being written
- Stop a sidebar row's menu opening the header's with it
- Leave a card's last session alone when a dispatch is refused
- Name a page from one place, so a rename cannot land on half of it
- Stamp an article by both the files it is written to, so renaming one stops sinking it down the list
-
The turn in flight carries a name and what it spends, the agent's model and mode move into its menu, and an open project reconciles whatever lands in .cydonia.
New
- Put bezel's thinking orbs on the working turn and its row
- Rebuild the menus on bezel 0.1.8, and describe the slash commands
- Meter the context in the agent menu and keep it across a load

- Select and copy text out of the transcript
- Pick the agent's model and mode from its menu, and meter the context

Fixed
- Capture an agent's stderr instead of inheriting it
- Close an agent's connection before killing its process
-
The first release.
