Releases#
v0.16.02026-03-05
Added
- -Token Conservation Engine — smart model routing based on complexity scoring (0-100) across 5 tiers (nano → flagship), with context window optimization and token budget management, saving 40-60% on API costs
- -Chat-to-Automation pipeline — create workflows directly from conversation using /automate, /schedule, /trigger, and /remind slash commands with natural language time parsing
- -Agentic Session Management — sessions now support categories (general, task, research, support, automation, creative, debug), statuses (active, completed, paused, archived), pinning, and grouping
- -10 new slash commands: /automate, /schedule, /trigger, /remind, /status, /pin, /category, /done, /export for chat-driven automation and session management
- -Cron trigger execution engine — every-minute cron evaluates all enabled workflow triggers with full cron expression parsing and double-fire prevention
- -Billing safety-net cron — hourly job catches agents whose billing period elapsed but wasn't reset by Stripe webhooks
- -Webhook retry with exponential backoff — 3 attempts at 0s, 5s, 30s with smart retry logic (skips 4xx except 429)
- -Enhanced analytics — per-model token breakdown, hourly aggregation for peak detection, and composite efficiency scoring
- -Token budget API — GET returns budget status and burn rate, POST returns model routing recommendations with savings estimates
- -/export command — downloads conversation as formatted markdown file
Fixed
- -Dashboard template dropdown — replaced overflowing horizontal category buttons with proper select dropdown in AgentConfigPanel
- -N+1 query in health cron — batch fetch all agent logs instead of per-agent loop queries
- -Admin listUsers() N+1 — replaced loading all Supabase Auth users with targeted email-based DB query in user sync and assign-user routes
- -Dashboard over-polling — tiered polling (15s fast for status/tokens, 60s slow for analytics/workflows) reduces API calls ~40%
Improved
- -Chat session sidebar — grouped by Pinned → Active → Completed → Archived with category icons, pin indicators, and context menu for rename/pin/categorize/complete
- -SELECT * elimination — admin routes now fetch only required columns for agents, users, and logs queries
- -Session API rewritten — GET/POST/PATCH/DELETE support category, status, icon, pinned, and message_count metadata
- -Slash command registry expanded to 22 built-in commands with rich descriptions and examples
v0.15.02026-03-03
Added
- -8 new AI model providers: DeepSeek (V3, R1), Qwen (Max, Plus), Mistral (Large, Small), Meta Llama 3.3 70B via Groq, Ollama self-hosted, expanding from 16 to 24 supported models
- -Edit workflow functionality — modify existing workflows (steps, triggers, name, description) without deleting and recreating
- -Redesigned Settings model selector with provider-grouped layout, color-coded provider headers, and model badges (Latest, Fast, Cheap, Free, Reasoning, Open Source)
- -Expanded bento box on landing page from 3 to 8 models with cycling carousel and color-coded category badges
- -SVG brand icons for Google, DeepSeek, Mistral, Meta, Groq, Qwen, and Ollama
- -Ollama self-hosted model support — runs locally on agent VM with no API key required
- -Firecrawl Scrape tool added to workflow builder with default markdown output format
Fixed
- -Critical workflow execution JSON parse error ("Extra data: line 1 column 2006") — _truncate_result was creating malformed JSON by truncating mid-stream and appending invalid suffix
- -Workflow variable interpolation double-serialization — dict/list values from step outputs were being stringified twice, breaking downstream tool inputs
- -Firecrawl Scrape field name mismatch — builder used "formats" (plural) but bridge expected "format" (singular), causing format parameter to be silently ignored
- -Agent Messages metric race condition — non-atomic read-then-write lost counts under concurrency; now uses ground-truth DB count
- -Messages counter backwards jumps — status endpoint could compute lower count than cached; fixed with Math.max(dbCount, cachedCount)
- -Performance Intelligence chart flickering blank every 10-20 seconds — polling reset loading state unnecessarily; now uses stale-while-revalidate pattern
- -Workflow execution no longer injects status messages into Chat — results shown only in Sandbox Executions tab where they belong
- -Incorrect social links in docs pages — Discord, Twitter/X links now match Footer
- -SettingsPanel API key provider detection for DeepSeek, Qwen, Mistral, Groq, and Ollama models
Improved
- -Settings panel model selection UX — flat 24-item radio list replaced with 10 provider groups, badges, and scrollable layout
- -Workflow builder UX — Edit button in workflow actions, builder shows "Save Changes" vs "Create" based on mode
- -API key section dynamically adapts to provider — shows correct key format placeholder and provider name for all 10 providers
- -Ollama models show "Self-hosted — no API key needed" instead of key input
- -Documentation updated: Models page expanded to 24 models with 10 providers, Workflows page includes Edit feature and best practices, Changelog updated

Improved
- -Workflow execution pipeline hardened end-to-end: event trigger → queue → bridge pickup → result reporting
