Major 0.16.x Additions
🪄 Maestro Cue is a new trigger-based cross-agent orchestration capability that lets heartbeats, GitHub issues/PRs, file system monitors, and other data sources bring your agents to life and pass work between one another.
💻 Full-featured xterm.js terminal tabs sit alongside your AI and file preview tabs, with support for opening and renaming multiple terminals.
🧑✈️ GitHub Copilot-CLI joins Maestro as a first-class agent with end-to-end integration for both local and remote (over SSH) execution.
🌐 The web/mobile interface gained real PTY terminals, swipeable panels, notification dropdowns, and dozens of desktop-equivalent features for a full touch-friendly experience on tablets and phones.
🔗 SSH Shared History synchronizes Maestro instances working on the same project, with each host writing per-hostname JSONL files to .maestro/history/ on the remote so participants see each other's work.
🌍 Browser tabs open web pages directly inside Maestro as first-class tabs with a full address bar, navigation controls, session persistence across restarts, and bulk close support.
Changes in v0.16.18-RC
📝 File preview was rewritten on top of CodeMirror 6 so selection, scroll position, Cmd+Up/Down, line jumps, and search highlighting all flow through the new editor.
🎨 Every code surface (chat, Fast tier, Giant tier) now shares one Shiki highlighter load with on-demand language grammars.
⏰ New Cue time.once event type fires one-shot scheduled subscriptions with fire_at, grace_minutes, and an optional self-destruct on failure.
🔔 New Cue notify action sends a toast (optionally sticky) instead of spawning an agent, perfect for scheduled reminders.
🧪 Auto Run gained a "Fresh Context Per" mode toggle so you can choose per-task or per-document and have the right prompt template injected automatically.
♻️ A new Session Recovery Card restores crashed or orphaned agents on startup so an unexpected quit no longer means losing your place.
🗂️ Files Pane added Finder-style multi-select (Cmd/Shift+click), multi-source drag-and-drop, and a batched move-conflict modal with Auto-rename, Overwrite-all, and Skip-conflicts choices.
📁 Right-click any folder to preview every file inside as tabs at once, with a safety confirmation for huge folders.
🆕 New Agent modal now offers an Agent Group dropdown, seeded from the source agent when duplicating.
🪟 Prompt Composer modal can go fullscreen, and the preference sticks across sessions.
ℹ️ A new About tab in Settings shows the Maestro glyph, version, and install origin without leaving the modal.
🔍 Fuzzy File Search now recognizes absolute paths and offers an "Open in Maestro" affordance no matter where the file lives on disk.
🏷️ Every tab now sports a leading kind icon (AI, browser, file) tinted by type so you can tell tabs apart at a glance.
⌨️ Cmd+Shift+[ and Cmd+Shift+] now cycle the internal tab pills inside the Execution Queue and Tab Switcher modals.
🛑 Auto Run progress strip gained a Stop button so you can halt a running batch without killing the underlying agent.
⏯️ Auto Run's Run button no longer disables while the agent is thinking; a pulsing badge floats nearby instead and the BatchRunner Go button gates the actual launch.
