Good morning, it's Tuesday, October 27th, 2026.
The signal today is consolidation. The harness catalog got simpler and larger at the same time, while sandbox safety and install reliability got tighter, all landing in version 0.27.0.
First, a cleaner harness experience. Pull request 1530 makes grok, antigravity, and muse the canonical install names. The older aliases like grok-build, antigravity-cli, and muse-code still work, but banners, documentation, and the changelog now point to the short versions. For developers, that means less guessing…
Second, guardrails against footguns and flaky releases. Pull request 1537 stops destroy, stop, and restart from acting on the sandbox you are currently working inside. That closes a destructive failure mode where a single command could take down your own environment. The same change introduces an automatic release…
Release pull request 1535 ties it together, cutting version 0.27.0 and dating the changelog so the command line and published docs carry the same harness and tool fixes.
What's next: migrate scripts to the short harness names, re-try microsandbox installs with the pinned installer, and expect documentation to stay in sync…
