Roadmap

• A fourth session state, error · #1796 — a session whose provider call fails, whose credentials are rejected, or whose process dies mid-turn now reads red with the agent’s own failure text, instead of reading ready. Six adapters produce the signal (claude-code, copilot, gemini-cli, opencode, codex, pi and aider), and it reaches the wire, the web dashboard and the macOS menu bar.
• Irrlicht reports its own faults — hook entries that went missing, and a hook channel installed but receiving nothing, now surface as a banner on both surfaces instead of only inside a --diagnose tarball.
• An errored session stays red across a daemon restart · #1815 — a release, a reboot or a rebuild used to reset it to green or delete the row outright. Five separate reapers could take it; a static tripwire now fails any new one that skips the exemption.

Also: the history strip no longer coerces an unrecognised state to green — or overwrites it on disk #1807; the macOS Activity Matrix carries the error series it was silently dropping #1821; and every recording driver now observes its own teardown rather than asserting it, after nine exit_clean runs leaked a live agent apiece #1825. The history strip itself stays three-state: its wire format is 2 bits per bucket and all four codes are taken, tracked in #1805.

• GitHub Copilot CLI adapter · #1256 — the tenth monitored agent. Explicit turn boundaries in a uniformly-enveloped events.jsonl, transcript-tier permission prompts with no hook install, and live per-message tokens and cost. Verified against CLI 1.0.77–1.0.78.
• Hermes Agent adapter · #1325 — the eleventh, and the first whose sessions have no files of their own: every session lives in one shared SQLite store at $HERMES_HOME/state.db, discovered live while the session is still running.
• herdr as a controllable terminal backend · #1348 — alongside tmux and kitty. A session in a herdr pane can be typed into, interrupted and read back from the daemon, headless and over the relay, addressed by the pane’s own $HERDR_PANE_ID rather than variables it merely inherited from a long-lived server.
• Hook-authoritative live state for Claude Code and Codex · #1129 — Claude Code’s Stop #1161 and Notification/idle_prompt #1173 hooks and Codex’s PermissionRequest/Stop tier #1171 replace prose heuristics, so “an approval prompt is on screen” and “the turn is over” are observed rather than inferred.

Plus a correctness sweep: a dropped kqueue creation event can no longer hide a session for the daemon’s whole lifetime #1286; a slow-but-executing edit is no longer mislabelled as a stalled prompt #1132; a timed-out lsof probe no longer permanently purges a live background process #1307; the macOS menu-bar panel stopped burning ~10% CPU while closed #1134; the master “Enable notifications” toggle now silences every channel including spoken alerts #1183; and the task ETA converges as a task progresses instead of staying anchored to one unrepresentative round #1211.

A correctness sweep across session discovery and state. A parent session no longer wedges at working forever once it has spawned a background subagent #1098 — v0.5.8’s guard could never release, because Claude Code writes a zero count as absence rather than an explicit 0. Three agents whose session root is relocated by an env var or config key are no longer silently invisible: Vibe’s $VIBE_HOME #1108 and [session_logging].save_dir #1123, and Kiro CLI’s KIRO_HOME #1074. The transcript tailer now detects a file rewritten in place, not just one that shrank #1120.

• Mistral Vibe agent adapter · #921 — state, model, context, cost, summaries, and backchannel control for vibe sessions, plus a full 44-cell onboarding column.
• Activity Matrix lands on macOS · #1038 — the projects × time grid shipped web-only in v0.5.7 is now a top-level History tab in the app, with nine zoom granularities and CSV/JSON export.

A long sweep of session-lifecycle correctness: a parent no longer flips to ready while a background subagent is still running #1037; a session’s swallowed first turn is synthesized on late or child discovery #1010; backchannel state is re-keyed across presession reconciliation so control is not silently lost #1007; and non-Claude adapters stop falling back to Claude’s model config #1022.

• Activity Matrix chart in History · #986 — a projects × time-bucket grid of working/waiting/ready agent counts, zoomable across nine granularities from 1 minute to 1 year.
• DORA metrics in History · #959 — Deployment Frequency, Lead Time for Changes, Change Failure Rate, and MTTR as a new Metrics section on both macOS and web.
• CO2 equivalent reference lines on the CO2 chart · #955 — reference lines at the height of relatable everyday CO2e equivalents, plus a CO2 Methodology docs page.

Question and waiting-cue detection now understands German, Spanish, French, and Portuguese, not just English #939; WCAG-AA contrast failures in summary/question pills fixed on macOS and web #987; a recurring family of -race test flakes, root-caused to a session-repository aliasing bug, closed out for good #976.

• Subscription quota in the menu bar status icon · #917 — the status icon can render your 5h/7d quota windows directly, as stacked bars or a compact ring, with Lights/Usage/Combined styles and a per-provider picker.

Sessions with a still-active background child no longer flip to ready mid-turn #893 #899, nor when a transcript moves into or out of a git worktree #878; long background-research subagents no longer falsely time out #882; the CO2 estimate no longer wraps to a second line #922; closed every open CodeQL alert and the remaining SonarQube security/reliability findings from the project-wide code-health sweep #894 #896 #910 #912 #913; install.sh no longer kills unrelated daemons on the machine #876.

• Estimated CO2 footprint alongside cost · #831 — click a session's cost figure to cycle to an estimated CO2e footprint, with a tooltip disclosing how confident the number is.
• Cache-regression badge explains itself · #826 — the badge now shows which agent version caused the regression, with a plain-language explanation on hover instead of a bare icon.

History's Model grouping fixed #793 and its tab switcher moved into the header #788; the menu bar app recovers from a stuck local-daemon or relay reconnect #845 #848 and no longer double-counts relay-echoed sessions #830; “Expand All Task Summaries” persists across restarts #800; Antigravity’s non-interactive host poller no longer shows as a phantom session #791; FocusMonitor’s remaining macOS 26 crash path closed #790; subagents are reaped after transcript deletion #850; a fragile SwiftPM resource-bundle dependency removed #847.

• History view with spend analytics · #752 — a cost-analytics surface for both macOS and the web dashboard: cumulative spend with a linear projection, project/branch/provider/model attribution and drill-downs, a concurrent-agents timeline, a productive-vs-reverted yield ratio, faceted cross-filtering, and CSV/JSON export.
• Backchannel that acts on your agents · #731 — control discovered agents locally or remotely, across agents and terminal backends; event→action rules, agent-translated command presets, and a Custom command.
• Plain-language session summaries · #770 — rows lead with a human-readable intent block and the exact waiting-question, built from lightweight markers with a pluggable compaction step.

ETA accuracy improvements surfaced sooner #768; a built-in diagnostics bundle (/debug/bundle + --diagnose) #742; cache-creation regression detection #749; a generic GUI-host fallback for click-to-focus #741; ghost sessions age out / get reaped #740 #734; the Settings panel no longer janks #730; a TTS crash fixed #781; a macOS 26 / Xcode 26 SDK launch crash fixed #782; non-Anthropic-frontend sessions price correctly (codeburn alias sync) #726.

• Google Antigravity support · #715 — one adapter covers both the agy CLI and the Antigravity IDE; transcript-first discovery makes PID-less IDE sessions first-class.
• Publish to relay · #718 — a macOS toggle that streams this daemon’s sessions out to a standalone relay (works behind NAT); the forwarder hot-reloads so toggling Publish or editing the URL/token applies to the running daemon with no relaunch #722.

Relay native multi-tenant workspace isolation #709; the Antigravity context bar renders (tokens read from the sibling conversation store) #719; Claude Code sessions stay “waiting” across a daemon restart #706; the brand flame gradient is legible on light backgrounds #708.

• Gemini CLI adapter · #668 — eighth coding-agent backend (alpha): live working/waiting/ready state from Gemini’s ~/.gemini/tmp JSONL transcripts, nested subagent chats, and per-turn token deltas.
• ~3× less CPU under heavy load · #693 — macOS WebSocket refreshes are coalesced into one redraw per ~100ms window; measured ~100% → ~31% of a core under 40 agents.
• Configurable context-pressure alert · #692 — set the context-fill alert as a percentage (default 80%) or an absolute token count, in a tidied settings panel with an Advanced Settings group and Beta badges.

/ir:doc-review documentation-audit skill #698; dead sessions age out correctly (no-op refresh no longer bumps updated_at) #684; manual /compact shows the full working→ready lifecycle #658; the installer downloads + verifies before removing the old build #654; release DMGs are codesigned before notarization #652.

Session rows stop lying: /compact no longer strands sessions in “working” #642; Claude Code 2.1.168’s background-daemon processes no longer mint permanent ghost rows (and old ghosts are retired on upgrade) #648; sibling-bound ghost pre-sessions are swept continuously #646; the startup-race “?” agent icon heals itself #647; daemon restarts can no longer resurrect idle sessions as “working” (ledger schema v4) #650.

• Remote session relay — irrlichtrelay · #547 — a standalone binary that aggregates every machine’s sessions into one macOS app + web view, secured with TLS/wss, bearer-token auth, an origin allowlist, and per-IP / per-connection caps.

  

• Linux daemon · #482 — irrlichd builds and runs on Linux (amd64 + arm64) behind a portable ProcessObserver seam; same curl … | sh install.

Per-provider windowed usage spend + subscription empty-state #441; OpenCode inherits OpenAI rate limits via JWT account_id #424; backgrounded Bash processes hold a session working #450, #452; claudecode permission prompts surface as waiting #490; codex turn_aborted settles interrupted turns #464; 22 new frontend pricing aliases synced from codeburn; editable relay URL + token in macOS Settings #550; web dashboard split into three files #418; onboarding-factory rewrite — of CLI as sole replaydata/ writer, shard migration, 4-verb skill #514.

• Sparkle 2.x auto-update integration · #413 — in-app update prompts with a signed EdDSA appcast at irrlicht.io/appcast.xml. First Sparkle-enabled release; v0.4.6 users need one manual upgrade before auto-updates begin.
• Developer-ID signed + Apple-notarized DMG · #409 — first launch through curl installer or Homebrew cask no longer trips Gatekeeper; quarantine-strip workarounds removed.
• OpenCode todowrite as task-progress dots · #410 — dashboard parity with Claude Code’s TaskCreate/TaskUpdate pipeline.

OpenCode working→ready tail latency drops ~2.5 s #412; Claude Code wrapped command preserves user statusLine output #404; curl installer survives GitHub API rate limits #401; get-task-allow removed from production entitlements before notarization #407, #415; /ir:onboard-agent pipeline lands with first-class opencode driver #328, #408; Focus entitlement + DevID codesigning restored #406; coverage-viewer and find-flicker-sessions retired #411, #414; kitty docs clarify full-restart requirement #402.

• Public roadmap page · #395 — chronological newest-at-top timeline at /docs/roadmap.html with concept tiles for every future release and ALSO SHIPPED roll-call for every past release.

  

Brand: gradient flame refresh propagates to remaining surfaces (docs sidebar dot, design-system tiles) #394; working-state icon switches to a breathing solid dot #393; web subagent dot-matrix row dropped to match macOS overlay #397; Claude Code task list prunes entries absent from task_reminder snapshots #396.

• Pro / Max subscription burn-rate forecast in the macOS overlay · #309, #379 — stacked 5h/weekly progress bars with linear-projection forecast.

  

• New gradient flame brand system · #388 — single-path silhouette across app, icon, navbar, design system.

  

• Unified per-row state icons across web and macOS · #382 — heartbeat halo / pause bars / checkmark, same vocabulary in both surfaces.

  

• Web dashboard reaches overlay parity, beta · #354 — http://127.0.0.1:7837 mirrors the macOS overlay row anatomy, header controls, and settings.

  

Codex sessions price at real-dollar instead of $0 (split-event token_count attributed to session model) #361; adapters honor agent-CLI env vars for relocated session dirs (#349).

• macOS app autostarts at login · #343 — SMAppService.mainApp registers the app on first launch; the menu-bar overlay is up before you open your first terminal.

Click-to-focus follows VS Code / Cursor / Windsurf across macOS Spaces and fullscreen windows #344; daemon no longer kills a neighboring session when two Claude Code instances open in one VS Code window #345.

• macOS overlay aligned with the official design system · #229 — typography, spacing, and color tokens unified with the brand system; foundation the v0.4.5 brand refresh built on.

Drop legacy file-polling path and retire the vaporware IRRLICHT_DISABLED env var; document the four env vars that actually exist (#337).

kitty click-to-focus lands on the right window and tab #326.

OpenCode ghost-session cleanup after upgrade; Homebrew tap kept current on every release #299.

• OpenCode adapter · #255 — first SQLite-backed monitoring path; sets the pattern for non-JSONL agents.

ir:triage skill for diagnostic GitHub-issue triage #283.

Serve stale LiteLLM cache instead of zeroing costs #275; aider stays open across re-prompts under --yes-always #274.

Session history streams over WebSocket (replaces 30s polling) with bit-packed 60-bucket rings #249; daemon serves dashboard from disk so the UI is hot-editable in dev #267.

Sweep zombie sessions on daemon startup #242.

Prune deleted sessions from apiGroups synchronously so the overlay updates immediately instead of after a 30s rehydrate #244.

• Aider adapter shipped · #220, #224 — first agent through the new /ir:onboard-agent flow; tmux-driven interactive driver, scenario fixtures, trailing-? waiting contract.

Homebrew cask via own tap #187 — brew install --cask irrlicht.

• Menu bar rewritten on NSStatusItem + NSPanel · #196 — eliminates the one-frame background flash on collapse/expand; panel grows downward from the status item.

"…" overflow indicator on the menu-bar icon when more than five project groups are active #193; unified agent registration via agents.Config #199 — foundation for the v0.4 Phase A refactor.

• Agent history bar — per-session state timeline with 1s / 10s / 60s granularity — cycling mode button switches between context display and history; persists across daemon restarts.

  

Click-to-focus extends to 17 terminal/IDE hosts (Zed, Rio, Tabby, WaveTerm, Alacritty, Nova, Kitty, JetBrains family, …); Claude Code task-list progress dots in the session row.

• Click-to-focus the launching terminal or IDE · #170 — clicking a session row raises iTerm2 / Terminal.app / VS Code via AX title-matching; ppid-chain host resolution.

Web dashboard renders on initial load (was empty until the 30s rehydrator) #167; project-group reorder chevrons restored #172.

• Per-group cost display with day / week / month / year timeframes · #83, #162 — project headers cycle through cost windows instead of a single hard-coded one.
• LiteLLM as the single source of truth for model context windows + pricing · #165 — hand-maintained capacity table removed; the daemon picks up new models without a restart. 1M context for Sonnet 4.6 lands.

curl | sh installer at irrlicht.io/install.sh; daemon binds localhost-only and rejects cross-origin WebSocket upgrades #94, #155.

• Gas Town full role support with recursive group nesting · #154 — first-class role registry (mayor, deacon, witness, refinery, polecat, scribe, …) instead of ad-hoc strings.

Desktop notifications on macOS state transitions #147.

• Full session lifecycle recording + offline replay harness · #107, #138 — ir:test-mac writes a sidecar; replay replays it byte-identically against the production tailer and fails on drift.

Cost display toggle in the macOS menu bar, off by default #130.

• Claude Code session-state flicker eliminated · #102 — four distinct bugs fixed: stale-tool timer, open-tool tracking desync, interrupt-vs-cancel, stop_reason allow-list.

Offline replay harness lands — any Claude Code, Codex, or Pi transcript runs through the production tailer + classifier in virtual time; a 500-hour session replays in under a second.

• Dynamic model capacity from LiteLLM — context-window sizes and pricing fetched at daemon startup, replacing hardcoded fallbacks. Sets the stage for v0.3.5's single-source-of-truth lookup.

Reorderable project groups in the macOS popup and menu bar; agent landscape page launches with 63 tracked agents.

• Will-o'-the-wisp brand identity lands — macOS app icon plus SVG/PNG favicons across the landing page and docs; SEO metadata (Open Graph, Twitter Card, canonical URL) on every site page.

/ir:release automation skill drives DMG + PKG + universal-binary builds, changelog updates, and GitHub release creation from one command; branded DMG background asset.

• Subagent lifecycle end-to-end — background and foreground subagents detected, tracked, and shown as children with a purple count badge on the parent; cascade cleanup on parent exit.

  

• Hierarchical dashboard API — GET /api/v1/sessions returns Orchestrator → Group → Agent → Children with SubagentSummary counts.

PID-discovery retry with backoff (500ms, 1s, 2s) plus CWD fallback resolves multi-instance race.

• Embedded daemon in app bundle · closes #35 — Irrlicht.app ships as a single artifact with both SwiftUI UI and the Go daemon; DaemonManager spawns, monitors, and restarts it with exponential backoff. No separate LaunchAgents.

Idle ready sessions auto-delete after 30 minutes (configurable); dark-forest landing hero with floating wisps animation.

• UI state icons land — hammer (working) / hourglass (waiting) / checkmark (ready) replace the earlier dot-only menu-bar rows. Same vocabulary survived through v0.4.5's unified-state-icons milestone.

Session persistence across daemon restarts (sessions kept as ready instead of deleted); worktree awareness via git-common-dir; MCP tool detection prevents browser-automation tools from flipping state to waiting.
