Gentleman-Programming/gentle-ai v1.41.0 on GitHub

✨ Highlights

Reworked update experience (#875, #878, #879, #880) — the CLI now prompts for self-update by default (instead of silently auto-applying), shows a Codex-style update prompt before the Welcome screen, surfaces an informational remote advisory at launch, and caches the update check with a 6h cooldown to stop hammering the GitHub API.
Beta channel support — opt into pre-release builds per OS via --channel beta, with the channel correctly inferred and carried through self-update on every platform, including the Windows installer.
Profile-scoped judgment-day agents in OpenCode (#868) — judgment-day agents are now scoped per profile, and Hermes gained an ephemeral delegation skill so it orchestrates via native subagents instead of exhausting its context inline.
Trigger-rules review system — a new declarative rule set decides when heavier review (4R) kicks in, injected into every generated agent asset, with validation and hot-path glob bindings.

update: prompt for self-update by default on the CLI; non-TTY auto-declines, GENTLE_AI_YES=1 auto-accepts (#878)
update: Codex-style update prompt before the Welcome screen, defaulting to "Keep current" so a stray Enter is safe (#880)
update: informational remote advisory fetched at launch and shown on Welcome (no version gate, no forced update) (#879)
update: cache the update check with a 6h cooldown via LastUpdateCheck in state.json (#875)
upgrade: complete the sync automatically after a gentle-ai self-upgrade instead of forcing a manual re-run (#877)
upgrade: honor GENTLE_AI_CHANNEL when upgrading Engram (#876)
engram: always fetch the latest engram-core and gentle-engram so new Engram releases reach users on their next upgrade (#874)
opencode: support profile-scoped judgment-day agents
hermes: add an ephemeral delegation skill and orchestrator guidance so Hermes delegates via native subagents (#868)
sdd: add an automatic-mode gatekeeper that validates each phase before launching the next (#871)
sdd: inject a trigger-rules section into all generated agent assets
catalog/model: add the trigger-rules type model, default rule set, validator, and payments hot-path glob binding
skills: bundle the required workflow skills

opencode: migrate the legacy command prompt field to template, fixing an OpenCode startup crash (ConfigInvalidError) on strict schemas
opencode: enable judgment day in the single overlay
tui: repair Codex and SDD-mode Back navigation in the model picker flow
tui: align DependencyTree Back Esc/Enter paths and unify forward/back picker navigation
tui: show update progress and wrap the advisory text correctly
update: detect beta updates on main and infer the beta channel from pseudo-versions
update: pass the beta channel through to the Windows installer self-update
install: add an npm prerequisite gate and a graceful Engram stop on Windows (#866)
install: use the -f operator in install.ps1 to support PowerShell 5.1 (#865)
install: use portable lowercase for the go owner so --channel beta works on bash 3.2 / macOS (#892)
install: keep the PowerShell installer ASCII-only
sdd: scope the native dispatcher guard to file-based artifact stores so it no longer freezes Engram-backed flows
catalog: enforce a positive MinDiffLines and prohibit 4R on everyday-always bindings

Thanks to the community contributors in this release:

@serberato and @skiveldev — Windows stop-script regression coverage (#884, issue #815)

Everything else is a core maintainer release.

If Homebrew reports the tap as untrusted, trust the Gentle AI tap once before upgrading:

brew trust gentleman-programming/tap
brew upgrade gentle-ai

Or trust only the formula:

brew trust --formula gentleman-programming/tap/gentle-ai
brew upgrade gentle-ai

(or self-update on the next run)

To try pre-release builds, install on the beta channel:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Gentleman-Programming/gentle-ai/main/install.sh | bash -s -- --channel beta
