Veritas Kanban 6.0.1 is the first supported stable v6 release. It adds
first-class Buzz integration and gives Grok Build, OpenAI Codex, Claude Code,
and GitHub Copilot CLI the same evidence-backed task, worktree, tool, approval,
credential, event, and completion boundaries.
Veritas Kanban 6.0.0 remains available as a quarantined prerelease. Install
6.0.1 or newer.
Highlights
One control plane for agent harnesses
- Buzz Agent, Grok Build, and GitHub Copilot CLI run through the shared ACP v1
adapter. - OpenAI Codex supports CLI, SDK, and the richer app-server JSON-RPC lifecycle.
- Claude Code runs through a supervised bare-mode stream.
- Hermes and OpenClaw retain their supported one-shot and gateway transports.
- Settings, API diagnostics, telemetry, dispatch, and
vk doctor --jsonnow
report the same support tier and redacted readiness evidence.
Equal footing does not mean pretending every provider has the same features.
Veritas probes the installed version and capabilities, persists that evidence,
and blocks unsupported resume, tool, approval, sandbox, or completion behavior
before an attempt starts.
First-class Buzz support
- Connect a pinned Buzz community channel to Squad Chat.
- Import signed public persona and team definitions as disabled profiles.
- Run
buzz-agentthrough ACP with exact version and capability checks. - Expose only the selected run-scoped Veritas tools.
- Trigger allowlisted Veritas workflows from Buzz root messages with durable
replay protection.
Buzz relay delivery remains a communication path. Veritas remains the authority
for tasks, attempts, tools, approvals, and completion.
Safer, recoverable runs
- Every run records its task envelope, launch policy, worktree baseline,
provider runtime evidence, causal events, approvals, tool catalog, and
completion evidence. - Restart and reconnect logic verifies ownership before resuming work, avoiding
silent duplicate runs. - Provider build or capability drift invalidates old certification.
- Credential-bearing tools use one-shot, exact-action leases instead of
exposing raw secrets to provider configuration or logs. - The desktop updater rejects older release metadata instead of offering a
downgrade.
Stabilization fixes in 6.0.1
- Chat is a reversible desktop panel with visible close, Escape, browser Back,
startup-state recovery, and native layout reset
(#945). - Task drawers, shared overlays, Archive cards, scoring pages, and the template
editor have reachable scrolling and resizing
(#935,
#938,
#939,
#941). - Workflow actions handle omitted collections and recoverable load failures
instead of crashing task detail
(#936). - Full-page views, task detail, and nested Workflow overlays preserve their
actual route origin, browser history, keyboard Back behavior, and scroll
position (#937). - New scoring profiles open as visible, validated drafts
(#943). - Operations Digest reconciles board inventory with windowed events and exposes
source IDs and metadata-quality findings
(#944). - The packaged desktop consistently reports its real application version
(#986).
Install or upgrade
Homebrew
brew update
brew upgrade --cask bradgroux/tap/veritas-kanbanFor a first install:
brew install --cask bradgroux/tap/veritas-kanbanDirect download
Download the signed and notarized macOS arm64 DMG or ZIP from the
v6.0.1 release.
Back up the current workspace before upgrading. Keep the v5.2.5 backup until
the v6 runtime is accepted. If rollback requires an older schema, restore the
pre-upgrade backup instead of opening newer data with an incompatible binary.
Follow the
v6 upgrade and administration guide
for the complete migration, remote-access, validation, and rollback procedure.
Important behavior changes
- Provider-less or adapter/profile-mismatched records no longer fall through to
OpenClaw. - Unknown or changed provider builds lose certification until current probes
and deterministic fixtures pass. - Claude Code no longer launches with
--dangerously-skip-permissions. - Credential-bound MCP servers are not copied into provider-native
configuration. They are available only through the mediated run bridge. - Conversation controls appear only when the selected provider proves it
supports them. - The public REST API remains mounted at
v1; the v6 product version does not
rename API routes.
Known limitations
- Buzz Agent sessions are in-memory and do not support session load/resume.
Buzz files, reactions, forums, DMs, and destructive edit/delete projection
are not bridged. - GitHub Copilot CLI ACP is public preview.
- Grok Build's stable artifact self-reports alpha and cannot be fully traced to
the current public source tree. - Claude Code's complete CLI implementation is not public, so certification is
bound to exact release behavior and checked-in fixtures. - Linux and Windows desktop artifacts remain unsigned previews. Signed and
notarized macOS arm64 is the supported desktop distribution. - Deterministic compatibility does not prove provider authentication,
subscription availability, quota, or live inference.
