Highlights

• First-class Clawdis tools (browser, canvas, nodes, cron) replace the old clawdis-* skills; tool schemas are now injected directly into the agent runtime.
• Per-session model selection + custom model providers: models.providers merges into ~/.clawdis/agent/models.json (merge/replace modes) for LiteLLM, local OpenAI-compatible servers, Anthropic proxies, etc.
• Group chat activation modes: per-group /activation mention|always command with status visibility.
• Discord bot transport for DMs and guild text channels, with allowlists + mention gating.
• Gateway webhooks: external wake and isolated agent hooks with dedicated token auth.
• Hook mappings + Gmail Pub/Sub helper (clawdis hooks gmail setup/run) with auto-renew + Tailscale Funnel support.
• Command queue modes + per-session overrides (/queue ...) and new agent.maxConcurrent cap for safe parallelism across sessions.
• Background bash tasks: bash auto-yields after 20s (or on demand) with a process tool to list/poll/log/write/kill sessions.
• Gateway in-process restart: clawdis_gateway tool action triggers a SIGUSR1 restart without needing a supervisor.

Breaking

• Config refactor: inbound.* removed; use top-level routing (allowlists + group rules + transcription), messages (prefixes/timestamps), and session (scoping/store/mainKey). No legacy keys read.
• Heartbeat config moved to agent.heartbeat: set every: "30m" (duration string) and optional model. agent.heartbeatMinutes is removed, and heartbeats are disabled unless agent.heartbeat.every is set.
• Heartbeats now run via the gateway runner (main session) and deliver to the last used channel by default. WhatsApp reply-heartbeat behavior is removed; use agent.heartbeat.target/to (or target: "none") to control delivery.
• Browser act no longer accepts CSS selector; use snapshot refs (default ai) or evaluate as an escape hatch.

Fixes

• Heartbeat replies now strip repeated HEARTBEAT_OK tails to avoid accidental “OK OK” spam.
• Heartbeat delivery now uses the last non-empty payload, preventing tool preambles from swallowing the final reply.
• Heartbeat failure logs now include the error reason instead of [object Object].
• Duration strings now accept h (hours) where durations are parsed (e.g., heartbeat intervals).
• WhatsApp inbound now normalizes more wrapper types so quoted reply bodies are extracted reliably.
• WhatsApp send now preserves existing JIDs (including group @g.us) instead of coercing to @s.whatsapp.net. (Thanks @arun-8687.)
• Telegram/WhatsApp: reply context stays in Body/ReplyTo*, but outbound replies no longer thread to the original message. (Thanks @joshp123 for the PR and follow-up question.)
• Suppressed libsignal session cleanup spam from console logs unless verbose mode is enabled.
• WhatsApp web creds persistence hardened; credentials are restored before auth checks and QR login auto-restarts if it stalls.
• Group chats now honor routing.groupChat.requireMention=false as the default activation when no per-group override exists.
• Gateway auth no longer supports PAM/system mode; use token or shared password.
• Tailscale Funnel now requires password auth (no token-only public exposure).
• Group /new resets now work with @mentions so activation guidance appears on fresh sessions.
• Group chat activation context is now injected into the system prompt at session start (and after activation changes), including /new greetings.
• Typing indicators now start only once a reply payload is produced (no "thinking" typing for silent runs).
• WhatsApp group typing now starts immediately only when the bot is mentioned; otherwise it waits until real output exists.
• Streamed segments are stripped before partial replies are emitted.
• System prompt now tags allowlisted owner numbers as the user identity to avoid mistaken “friend” assumptions.
• LM Studio/Ollama replies now require tags; streaming ignores content until begins.
• LM Studio responses API: tools payloads no longer include strict: null, and LM Studio no longer gets forced / tags.
• Identity emoji no longer auto-prefixes replies (set messages.responsePrefix explicitly if desired).
• Model switches now enqueue a system event so the next run knows the active model.
• /model status now lists available models (same as /model).
• process log pagination is now line-based (omit offset to grab the last N lines).
• macOS WebChat: assistant bubbles now update correctly when toggling light/dark mode.
• macOS: avoid spawning a duplicate gateway process when an external listener already exists.
• Node bridge: when binding to a non-loopback host (e.g. Tailnet IP), also listens on 127.0.0.1 for local connections (without creating duplicate loopback listeners for 0.0.0.0/127.0.0.1 binds).
• UI perf: pause repeat animations when scenes are inactive (typing dots, onboarding glow, iOS status pulse), throttle voice overlay level updates, and reduce overlay focus churn.
• Canvas defaults/A2UI auto-nav aligned; debug status overlay centered; redundant await removed in CanvasManager.
• Gateway launchd loop fixed by removing redundant kickstart -k.
• CLI now hints when Peekaboo is unauthorized.
• WhatsApp web inbox listeners now clean up on close to avoid duplicate handlers.
• Gateway startup now brings up browser control before external providers; WhatsApp/Telegram/Discord auto-start can be disabled with web.enabled, telegram.enabled, or discord.enabled.

Providers & Routing

• New Discord provider for DMs + guild text channels with allowlists and mention-gated replies by default.
• routing.queue now controls queue vs interrupt behavior globally + per surface (defaults: WhatsApp/Telegram interrupt, Discord/WebChat queue).
• /queue supports one-shot or per-session overrides; /queue reset|default clears overrides.
• agent.maxConcurrent caps global parallel runs while keeping per-session serialization.

macOS app

• Update-ready state surfaced in the menu; menu sections regrouped with session submenus.
• Menu bar now shows a dedicated Nodes section under Context with inline rows, overflow submenu, and iconized actions.
• Nodes now expose consistent inline details with per-node submenus for quick copy of key fields.
• Node rows now show compact app versions (build numbers moved to submenus) and offer SSH launch from Bonjour when available.
• Menu actions are grouped below toggles; Open Canvas hides when disabled and Voice Wake now anchors the mic picker.
• Connections now include Discord provider status + configuration UI.
• Menu bar gains an Allow Camera toggle alongside Canvas.
• Session list polish: sleeping/disconnected/error states, usage bar restored, padding + bar sizing tuned, syncing menu removed, header hidden when disconnected.
• Chat UI polish: tool call cards + merged tool results, glass background, tighter composer spacing, visual effect host tweaks.
• OAuth storage moved; legacy session syncing metadata removed.
• Remote SSH tunnels now get health checks; Debug → Ports highlights unhealthy tunnels and offers Reset SSH tunnel.
• Menu bar session/node sections no longer reflow while open, keeping hover highlights aligned.
• Menu hover highlights now span the full width (including submenu arrows).
• Menu session rows now refresh while open without width changes (no more stuck “Loading sessions…”).
• Menu width no longer grows on hover when moving the mouse across rows.
• Context usage bars now have higher contrast in light mode.
• macOS node timeouts now share a single async timeout helper for consistent behavior.
• WebChat window defaults tightened (narrower width, edge-to-edge layout) and the SwiftUI tag removed from the title.

Nodes & Canvas

• Debug status overlay gated and toggleable on macOS/iOS/Android nodes.
• Gateway now derives the canvas host URL via a shared helper for bridge + WS handshakes (avoids loopback pitfalls).
• canvas a2ui push validates JSONL with line errors, rejects v0.9 payloads, and supports --text quick renders.
• nodes rename lets you override paired node display names without editing JSON.
• Android scaffold asset cleanup; iOS canvas/voice wake adjustments.

Logging & Observability

• New subsystem console formatter with color modes, shortened prefixes, and TTY detection; browser/gateway logs route through the subsystem logger.
• WhatsApp console output streamlined; chalk/tslog typing fixes.

Web UI

• Chat is now the dashboard landing view; health status simplified; initial scroll animation removed.

Build, Dev, Docs

• Notarization flow added for macOS release artifacts; packaging scripts updated.
• macOS signing auto-selects Developer ID → Apple Distribution → Apple Development; no ad-hoc fallback.
• Added type-aware oxlint; docs list resolves from cwd; formatting/lint cleanup and dependency bumps (Peekaboo).
• Docs refreshed for tools, custom model providers, Discord, queue/routing, group activation commands, logging, restart semantics, release notes, GitHub pages CTAs, and npm pitfalls.
• pnpm build now skips A2UI bundling for faster builds (run pnpm canvas:a2ui:bundle when needed).

Tests

• Coverage added for models config merging, WhatsApp reply context, QR login flows, auto-reply behavior, and gateway SIGTERM timeouts.
• Added gateway webhook coverage (auth, validation, and summary posting).
• Vitest now isolates HOME/XDG config roots so tests never touch a real ~/.clawdis install.
