Good morning, it's Tuesday, October 21st, 2026.
The lead story is the daemon moving into the background. The CLI and visual interface now start it for you, and misleading startup errors are being replaced with fixes you can act on.
First, daemon-first operation. PR 4778 changes the command line and text interface so when no local daemon answers, they start a detached loopback daemon automatically. Racing clients serialize on an autostart lock, so exactly one spawns. Background pollers don't trigger a start, and there's an opt-out. PR 4834…
Second, failures that tell the truth. PR 4753 fixes the bundled adapter path collapsing every failure into not found. Now a stale bundled copy tells you to reinstall with the doctor fix command, and too-old runtime tells you to upgrade. PR 4801 names the agent's configured search path when the adapter is missing,…
Third, sessions staying correct. PR 4618 keeps a session running while a background task is open, using start and terminal status signals from the transcript. PR 4774 carries a fork parent's transcript onto the child's store when a custom agent uses its own directory, fixing restarts that couldn't find the history.…
What's next: open work…
