Major Changes

  • Search: Unified Search is now Apple Notes-style: fast across all sessions, within a specific session, and compatible with all filters.
  • Search: Use SQLite full-text indexing to speed up global search after analytics indexing completes.
  • Search: Instant search now indexes full tool inputs and outputs for recent sessions (last 90 days), reducing the need to wait for background scanning.
  • Search: Tool output indexing now redacts embedded base64/data URL blobs to keep search responsive and the index compact.
  • Search: Instant search now uses token-prefix matching by default (for example, magic behaves like magic*) to improve identifier and structured-text recall without trigram/substr indexing.
  • Search: Background scanning of large tool outputs is now opt-in by default, keeping Instant search more responsive (Settings → Advanced).
  • Search: Instant indexing now samples long assistant messages and tool inputs (head + middle + tail) to reduce false negatives without indexing the full transcript.
  • Search: Instant indexing now captures more of long tool outputs (head + middle + tail slices) and keeps active Codex sessions searchable while they are updating.
  • Search: Multi-word Unified Search queries now behave like phrase searches (for example, exit code) to match transcript navigation and avoid accidental boolean parsing.
  • Search: Unified Search highlights now use token-phrase matching across punctuation/newlines, and Session view reports visible vs total match counts when role filters are active.
  • Search: Global search now accepts quoted repo: and path: filters, and background deep scans run at low priority with on-demand prewarming for opened sessions.
  • Search: The Search Sessions menu item and ⌥⌘F shortcut now reliably focus the global search field.
  • Search: Unified Search highlights matches in the selected transcript and jumps to the first match when switching sessions.
  • Indexing: Analytics refresh is now incremental (skips unchanged files and removes deleted ones) to reduce startup work and keep search data current.
  • Startup: When Codex sessions are already indexed, the app now shows the hydrated list immediately while scanning for newly created sessions in the background.
  • Transcript: Replace the read-only search box with a Unified Search navigation pill that appears only when Unified Search has a free-text query.
  • Transcript: Find in Transcript (⌘F) now opens a local find bar with its own query and navigation.
  • Transcript: Unified Search now auto-jumps to the first match after typing or switching sessions, and local Find uses a solid blue current-match marker aligned with the match.
  • Transcript: Session view now auto-scrolls to the last user prompt by default, with a Unified Window setting to choose first vs last user prompt.
  • Transcript: Color view is now called Session view and presents a colored timeline with improved formatting.
  • Transcript (Session view): Use system font for narrative blocks; keep tool call blocks monospaced.
  • Transcript (Session view): Blocks now render as rounded cards with subtle tints and left accent borders.
  • Transcript (Session view): User prompts now use a thicker accent rail, slightly brighter tint, and semibold first-line text for readability.
  • Transcript (Session view): Assistant blocks now use per-agent brand tints and the role legend matches transcript accents.
  • Transcript (Session view): Find highlights now mark matched substrings and add a line indicator for easier scanning.
  • UI: Consolidate unified-window status indicators into a single cockpit-style footer.
  • UI: In dark mode, the cockpit footer now uses a transparent HUD style with crisp borders instead of a solid fill.
  • UI: Menu bar usage now uses the same monospace, logo-forward cockpit styling as the footer.
  • UI: Persist split-view divider positions per layout mode (horizontal vs vertical) so switching layouts doesn’t reset pane sizes.
  • UI: Session list typography now uses monospaced text with softer timestamp gray, taller rows, lighter message counts, and footer-blue selection accents.
  • UI: Increase session list row height to 48px for easier scanning.
  • UI: Codex now uses a blue brand accent distinct from the cockpit footer tint; the transcript toolbar spacing is tighter, and the terminal view adds a subtle top border.
  • Onboarding: Replaced the onboarding flow with a four-slide tour covering sessions, agent enablement, workflow tips, and usage tracking.
  • Onboarding: Show all supported agents and discovered sessions in the tour regardless of Sessions toolbar filters; disabled agents appear as inactive.

Minor Changes

  • Onboarding: Refine tour icon and primary button colors to better match native macOS accents.
  • Sessions: Hide housekeeping-only sessions (no assistant output and no real prompt content) by default; use “Show housekeeping-only sessions” in Settings → General to reveal them.
  • Sessions: Show a live session count in the unified list that updates while indexing and when filters/search change.
  • Preferences: The Menu Bar pane now groups label options into sections and aligns toggles consistently.
  • Transcript: Removed the duplicate Jump to First Prompt control from the transcript toolbar.
  • Sessions list: The Size column can now be sorted.
  • Search: Tooltips now include keyboard shortcuts for search fields and navigation arrows.
  • Analytics: The By Agent card now auto-scales rows and falls back to an internal scroll when space is tight.
  • Menu Bar: Reset menu items now include weekday; menu bar label can hide reset indicators per provider.
  • Menu Bar: Removed pill backgrounds from the menu bar label for a cleaner, more native look.
  • Usage: Time-only reset strings now roll forward to the next day to avoid showing stale "<1m" countdowns.
  • Transcript: Toolbar controls now use monospaced typography to match the session list.
  • Sessions list: Added a context menu action to copy the session ID to the clipboard.
  • Sessions: Resume context menu actions now include the selected terminal app (for example, Terminal or iTerm2).

Critical Fixes

  • Search: Prevent missing results while the search index is still warming by falling back to legacy matching for unindexed sessions.
  • Search: Backfill missing per-session search data during incremental refresh so sessions don’t remain “not yet indexed” indefinitely.
  • Search: Claude sessions now keep transcript match highlights in sync with the active search query.
  • Transcript: Remove the ghost control inside the Unified Search navigation pill.
  • Transcript (Session view): Match counts now update when Unified Search is active.
  • Transcript (Session view): Search markers now appear only on matching wrapped lines and replace the block accent for that line.
  • Sessions: Auto-select the first session on launch so the transcript pane isn’t blank.
  • Sessions: Stabilize message counts for large sessions while full parsing completes to reduce list row jumps.
  • Copilot: Normalize tool output newlines when logs include escaped \\n sequences.
  • Parsing: Preserve non-zero exit codes in Gemini/OpenCode tool outputs and classify them as errors for error navigation.
  • Parsing: Droid stream-json now handles numeric timestamps, tool call IDs, and error flags in tool results.
  • Parsing: Treat Claude Code queue-operation and file-history-snapshot events as metadata so new versions don’t pollute transcripts or inflate message counts.
  • Parsing: Gemini sessions now account for model/tokens/thoughts fields in newer chat logs.
  • Parsing: Treat Copilot assistant.turn_start/end, tool.execution_start, and session.truncation events as metadata so they don’t clutter transcripts.
  • Transcript: Clearing Find now immediately clears match highlights.
  • Transcript: Terminal view no longer leaves a stale find highlight when the Find query is empty.
  • Transcript: Toolbar filters now use dot + count labels with compact navigation chevrons.
  • Transcript (Session view): Render Codex review blocks as labeled Review meta entries instead of user prompts.
  • Transcript (Session view): Split system reminder and local-command caveat blocks into meta lines so user prompts stay visible.
  • Transcript (Session view): Treat Claude local-command tag-only blocks as Local Command meta lines.
  • Transcript (Session view): Local Command meta blocks now render with a thin blue accent strip.
  • Transcript (Session view): Request interrupted-by-user markers now use a thin blue strip and regular text.
  • Parsing: Ignore empty JSONL lines during scanning for improved robustness.
  • Parsing: Surface Codex thread rollback events with readable text in timelines.
  • Claude: Avoid UI stalls when opening sessions with embedded base64 blobs (for example, Chrome MCP screenshots).
  • Claude Usage: Detect the Claude Code first-run terms prompt and surface a “Setup required” state instead of timing out silently.
  • Toolbar: Keep action icons visible and overflow actions accessible when a project filter is active.
  • Toolbar: Refined agent tabs and icon groups, updated the layout/theme controls, and tightened toolbar button sizing and hover states.
  • UI: Update Codex and Claude brand accents to blue and warm brown for clearer agent recognition.
  • Transcript: Rename view mode buttons to Session/Text/JSON, align them with HIG-style leading padding, and space the session ID control.
  • Menu Bar: When usage data is stale, reset indicators now show “n/a” instead of an incorrect countdown.
  • Claude Usage: Refresh usage automatically after wake when the usage strip or menu bar label is visible.
  • Menu Bar: Show an updating spinner next to reset indicators while probes run.
  • Search: Unified Search now accepts quoted repo/path filters with spaces.
  • Claude/Codex Usage: Add a conservative startup sweep for probe tmux servers and harden cleanup/timeouts to avoid orphaned CLI processes after stalled probes or restarts.
