What's New in v0.28.59

TL;DR

Changed: The Agents section in the sidebar is quieter: a plain heading when closed, no panel behind it
Changed: Machine names show only when agents run on more than one machine
Changed: Agent icons are always gently alive, and lean toward your pointer

0.28.59 is a small release that finishes the sidebar's Agents section, which arrived in 0.28.58 in an earlier form. It has 4 PRs, all from @backnotprop. One is a test fix, and one changes nothing you see yet.

Plannotator Inbox

A quieter Agents section

Closed, Agents is now a plain heading row like Projects: no panel behind it and no buttons on it. Open it and the two add buttons (start an agent, link a machine) appear on the heading, with the agents listed under it. The tinted panel behind the open section is gone too.

A machine's name now shows only when agents are running on more than one machine. With one machine, the agents are one list with no name above them. A machine with no running agent shows nothing. A machine that shows no name also shows no filter, sleep note or Update word in the sidebar; those stay in Settings → Machines. #3025

Agent icons that stay alive

Each agent's icon in the sidebar now moves a little all the time, in its own way and at its own pace: Claude's star turns, Codex's prompt blinks and types, Pi's blocks ride a wave, OpenCode's frame sways. While your pointer is in the sidebar, each icon leans slightly toward it. The icons no longer change look for working, waiting or ended; the hover card still says what an agent is doing. With reduced motion on, they are still. #3018

Not yet on

Code review in the Inbox stays off, and its switch stays hidden until a later release. For people who have it on, Reviews and the Pull requests board now show a small profile picture by each person's name, from GitHub or GitLab, with their initial when there is no picture. #2986
