Good morning, it's Tuesday, October 27th, 2026.

The lead pattern is consolidation around the daemon as the single runtime authority, with interface cleanup and reliability fixes built on top of it.

First, direct file reads are going away. PR 4886 removes transitional disk fallbacks for list, status, and session commands, requiring a daemon-backed read with shared auto-start. Related work routes the send command through the daemon API in PR 4827, and PR 4882 restores strict boundaries for which server routes…

Second, the user surfaces are getting simpler and more consistent. PR 4972 changes the R key to open Connections instead of the web flow, and folds runtime health into one footer entry instead of a constant ready indicator. PR 4958 rebuilds web sidebar group headers as single disclosure buttons with full arrow-key…

Third, structured sessions get materially more reliable. PR 4967 derives sidebar status from the folded agent state without touching turn dispatch, and PRs 4966 and 4989 fix agent switching and terminal handoff for dormant sessions. PR 4985 stops parking turns when extra usage still allows them.
