v0.5.4 beta

Release v0.5.4

February 20, 2026

Major AI workflow release: plan approval UI, helper tool approvals, session history, markdown rendering, agent service CLI, doc-verify tooling, and forced Viewer update gate.

Added

  • AI plan approval UI: review and approve AI action plans before execution begins.
  • Helper tool approval workflow: approve individual tool calls inline in the helper.
  • Session history: browse and restore previous AI chat sessions.
  • Markdown rendering and thinking indicator in the AI helper.
  • Agent service CLI with IPC tool routing and AI action plan backend.
  • Forced Viewer update gate: outdated viewer shows full-screen update prompt, gracefully skips when offline.
  • Version injection: CI now injects the git tag version into Tauri configs before building, fixing version stuck at 0.1.0.
  • Doc-verify CLI with extract, run, and all commands plus JSON and HTML report generation.
  • GitHub Actions workflow for automated documentation verification.

Improved

  • Notifications and tags UI across the dashboard.
  • Helper and viewer CI build pipeline with macOS capture support and better artifact management.
  • CORS now allows private network origins (10.x, 192.168.x, 172.16–31.x, 100.x Tailscale) in dev mode, with CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS configurable via env.
  • Auth middleware coverage with comprehensive unit tests.

Fixed

  • Reconnect ping-pong when opening repeated remote desktop sessions to the same device.
  • Windows deep link URL delivery — added std::env::args() fallback for protocol handler when get_current() fails.
  • Doc-verify workflow label and rerun resilience.

v0.5.4 was the biggest single release in the v0.5.x line. The headline is the AI approval workflow: operators can now review AI action plans before execution begins, and approve individual tool calls inline from the helper. Session history lets you browse and restore previous conversations. Markdown rendering and a thinking indicator make the helper feel significantly more polished.

The agent service CLI brings IPC tool routing and AI action plan support to the agent layer. Doc-verify ships as a proper CLI with extract, run, JSON, and HTML report commands, plus a CI workflow that runs on every push.

The forced Viewer update gate prevents support sessions from running on outdated clients — the Viewer checks GitHub releases on launch, blocks with a clear “Update Required” screen, and skips gracefully if offline. Version injection fixes the long-standing issue of Tauri builds shipping with version 0.1.0 instead of the real tag.
