The most important Orkestrai changes, organized by delivery.
01
Remote agent access with explicit boundaries
Trusted collaborators can talk to agents without turning remote access into unrestricted machine access.
Operators can hold structured, traceable conversations with an agent; Administrators can also start or restore an offline agent.
Raw terminal control is a separate per-device Administrator permission, disabled by default, limited to one terminal, rate-limited, end-to-end encrypted, and audited.
The sharing dialog keeps stable dimensions across Invitation, Access, and Audit and clearly marks the active tab.
The canvas map stays within the phone viewport instead of creating page-level horizontal scrolling.
Primary buttons keep readable white text over violet in the dark theme.
Browser and mobile device approvals reach the host after the production relay was recreated with the official Remote PWA origin enabled.
02
Workbench, verified decisions, and secure collaboration
Orkestrai becomes a complete operating surface for focused work, review, automation, mobile validation, and encrypted collaboration.
Workbench opens live workspace artifacts in up to eight persistent resizable panes with vertical or horizontal tabs.
A native file explorer, Monaco editing, offline previews, universal search, and provider usage make focused work complete.
Control Center tracks real agent state and message delivery; Review Center keeps Git diffs, evidence, risks, and decisions traceable.
Council compares independent provider perspectives while the human selects the final plan and any isolated floor to land.
Mobile Device controls iOS Simulator and Android emulators or approved physical devices from Canvas and Workbench.
Workspace sharing now creates separate browser/mobile and installed-app invitations through the opaque production relay.
The installable Remote PWA follows agents, tasks, reviews, activity, provider usage, and leader messages with role-bounded actions, a non-extractable browser key, and immediate host revocation.
The website now demonstrates these capabilities with interactive Motion-powered showcases and reduced-motion support.
The remote subdomain opens the companion directly, including behind a reverse proxy.
03
Terminals mode and ten complete themes
A focused view organizes every workspace artifact, while terminals gain more choice without crowding their controls.
The new Terminals mode provides a searchable explorer across every workspace and opens terminals, boards, notes, portals, files, flows, and usage in the full work area.
Returning to the Canvas preserves the workspace and centers the selected item.
Existing PTY sessions resize to the full focused area instead of rendering chats compressed or garbled at their smaller Canvas dimensions.
The voice orb finds and opens the active workspace leader in Terminals mode as well.
Provider, role, theme, reload, Maestro Mode, and removal stay organized in a compact header menu.
Terminals now offer ten complete ANSI palettes with visual named selection.
The locate-on-canvas action uses one centered icon, while Settings explains the standalone Fn/Globe limitation on macOS.
04
Reliable Kimi roles and visible voice controls
Kimi role profiles start correctly, while the voice orb makes its position behavior discoverable.
Orkestrai adds the required frontmatter and automatically repairs legacy or missing Kimi role files, preventing invalid-agent PTY failures.
The voice orb has a clickable pinned or movable badge that opens position controls directly, while its tooltip also exposes the platform-specific shortcut.
05
Native roles and precise quota windows
Preset instructions now enter at the correct provider level, while Usage routes against the exact period you choose.
Claude receives preset roles as a system prompt, Codex as developer instructions, and Kimi through its agent file; other providers receive a short role-file reference instead of long pasted text.
Quota routing can monitor the 5-hour, weekly, or monthly window and explains when a provider does not report the selected period.
Kimi remaining quota and Codex additional limits are normalized into one bar per reported period.
shadcn switches display their real state, the workspace editor is responsive and scrollable, and the Windows title-bar divider spans the full width.
The website now identifies Orkestrai as Apache 2.0 open source and links source code and downloads to the primary repository.
06
Dictation that can send when you are ready
Terminal speech can now submit automatically, while the model picker remains searchable and correctly framed.
A new opt-in setting appends Enter after terminal dictation.
Regular fields such as tasks, roles, notes, and forms remain insert-only.
The searchable provider model selector now follows the shadcn-svelte combobox composition and no longer clips or misaligns its search field.
07
Agent conversations that can be proven
Cross-provider messages now bind to the correct workspace, fail clearly without confirmation, and hand completed tasks back to the leader.
Claude and Codex were validated talking in both directions with real replies from their provider transcripts.
Codex uses the real workspace directory and Kimi uses its exact path hash, preventing concurrent projects from crossing conversations.
Unquoted multi-word ask messages are preserved, and timeouts or unconfirmed replies fail explicitly.
task done automatically hands completion back to the leader without overwriting an unfinished human draft.
08
A sharper canvas on every platform
Voice, recovery, model selection, Windows integration, and the light theme now behave consistently in daily work.
The voice orb targets the focused field on the first click, can be pinned or dragged, and moves away from open panels.
Large provider model catalogs are searchable and scrollable, including Devin.
Orkestrai Light keeps accessible contrast across nodes, panels, text, icons, provider marks, buttons, and hover states.
Canvas organization aligns selected nodes or the whole workspace and keeps connections behind nodes.
Usage severity colors match between the panel and node, while Skills loads initial results automatically.
Workspace recovery validates real provider conversations and avoids stale session errors or unnecessary role reinjection.
Windows gains the correct CLI launcher, DPI-aware terminal selection, and a styled desktop title bar and menu.
09
Quota-aware teams and personal themes
Provider limits become part of the canvas while the whole application gains configurable light and dark themes.
Usage can be added as a persistent canvas node for Claude, Codex, and Kimi.
The node configures source, fallback, and threshold, and the leader reads the same recommendation through CLI or MCP before assigning new work.
Settings adds three dark themes, one light theme, and a semantic token editor with live preview.
Custom themes support duplication and validated JSON import/export and persist across restarts.
Canvas nodes and the main operational pages now honor global theme tokens.
10
Your agents, without toolbar clutter
One Agents menu keeps every provider available while favorite services remain one click away.
The eight provider buttons are consolidated into one responsive Agents menu while Shell stays directly accessible.
Up to four ready agents can be pinned beside the menu in the user’s preferred order.
Pinned preferences persist globally across workspaces and app restarts.
Unavailable agents remain discoverable through Provider Center and never occupy toolbar space.
11
Devin joins the local team
The official Devin CLI now works as a native canvas agent with models, bridge tools, and exact resume.
Provider Center detects the official Devin CLI and loads the models available to the user’s account.
Devin terminals start with autonomous workspace access and support both interactive and headless work.
The Orkestrai skill and MCP bridge are provisioned in Devin’s native project directories.
Local ATIF transcripts provide clean agent replies and spoken responses, while concurrent sessions are matched by workspace.
Cursor starts with workspace trust and MCP approval; Antigravity starts autonomously with selectable effort.
12
Long dictation and reliable workspace bridges
Voice uploads, restored Portals, and concurrent Claude conversations keep their correct runtime state.
Local dictation accepts recordings of approximately 15 minutes instead of failing at the adapter’s former 512 KB request limit.
Saved Portals retry until their local dev server returns and wait for a real page before automation.
Concurrent Claude agents reserve distinct conversation ids so clean replies always come from the intended transcript.
Portal failures retain their actionable detail and provider replies never expose raw terminal redraws.
Workspace resume no longer injects roles again and submits continuation only to agents with unfinished work.
The server stays responsive while macOS waits for workspace-folder permission.
13
Terminal sessions recover after restart
Process-local PTY ids no longer prevent saved provider conversations from reopening.
Obsolete PTY ids are removed when a workspace loads while each provider conversation id remains preserved.
Recovery uses a stable protocol code and persists the replacement session before reattaching.
Team context stays visible while voice and providers become usable wherever the work happens.
Dictation inserts text into the active task, role, note, or form field and falls back to the canvas leader only when no field is active.
Agent providers can be switched in place without losing roles, floors, layout, or connections.
Preset roles now carry complete operating protocols and reach agents automatically when their PTY starts.
The leader receives every unassigned initial task with its complete description, images, and linked note before delegation.
Native notifications distinguish task completion, project completion, and attention.
Floors shows each task title, stage, and assignee; shape editing now matches large rendered typography.
15
Seven providers, one team
Cursor, Antigravity, and Cline join the canvas with the same native integration as existing agents.
The toolbar detects Claude, Codex, Kimi, OpenCode, Cursor, Antigravity, and Cline.
Models, effort, resume, and permissions follow each CLI's actual capabilities.
Skills and MCPs are provisioned in each provider's native format without erasing existing configuration.
Documentation guides agent selection by desired outcome without requiring terminal expertise.
Provider Center adds local CLI detection, OS-aware installation, official sign-in guidance, and capability details.
New installations start in English and save the user's language as the first onboarding step.
Startup now waits for the saved locale before enabling interaction, preventing mixed-language screens and lost clicks.
Preset terminals start with each provider's autonomous full-access flags, and existing empty-argument terminals are repaired without overwriting custom commands.
16
Workflows for multidisciplinary teams
Custom Kanban stages and complete presets expand Orkestrai to marketing, design, content, and product work.
Boards support up to ten stages with custom names, colors, and order.
New ready-made teams cover campaigns and launches, brand and design, and content and SEO.
The Orkestrai Contributing preset coordinates a leader, two independent oracles, and specialist agents.
The bridge keeps the whole team aware of custom columns and the selected process.
17
Presets, roles, and clearer operations
Ready-made teams become easy to find, duplicate, and adapt to real work.
Preset library with search, filters, and install flows for new or existing workspaces.
Twelve complete roles, portable skills, and ready-made teams for multiple stacks.
The Floors overview now shows agents, tasks, changed files, and branch state.
Native menus plus refreshed Settings and Documentation improve navigation and consistency.
18
Reliable messages and quiet notifications
Communication between people and agents no longer mixes drafts or silently cuts content.
Human drafts remain intact while automated messages wait in a per-session queue.
Inter-agent messages are no longer silently truncated at 4,000 characters.
Normal silence and successful reloads no longer produce false attention alerts.
Brazilian Portuguese accents were corrected across the main interface.
19
Signed and notarized for macOS
The first trusted macOS release removes the Gatekeeper block and prepares automatic updates.
Apple Silicon and Intel builds are signed with Developer ID Application and notarized by Apple.
CI validates the signing authority, Team ID, Hardened Runtime, Gatekeeper acceptance, and stapled ticket before publication.
The release remains available from the public legacy feed while the source repository transition is completed.
Mac users on 0.1.3 or earlier need one manual installation of 0.1.4; subsequent signed releases support trusted in-place updates.
20
Valid macOS package and protected updates
An emergency fix for Gatekeeper and unsafe replacement by builds without Apple signing.
The partial ad-hoc signature in 0.1.2 was replaced with a complete signature with sealed resources.
CI now verifies deep signatures, DMGs, and ZIPs for Apple Silicon and Intel before publication.
Legacy Mac updaters are blocked; the new app detects releases and guides manual installation without removing the current app.
On the first launch without a Developer ID, try to open the app, dismiss the warning, then use System Settings → Privacy & Security → Security → Open Anyway; authenticate and confirm Open. Windows was not affected.
21
Lighter Usage polling for long sessions
A maintenance fix that protects provider rate limits.
Automatic Usage refresh moved from 60 seconds to 5 minutes.
The server cache uses the same interval to avoid duplicate calls when reopening the panel or returning to the app.
The manual refresh button still fetches fresh data immediately.
Fewer requests reduce the risk of Claude returning HTTP 429 during long sessions.
22
Updates restored and tasks with complete context
A maintenance release for the desktop package and Kanban delegation.
The updater module is now included in the installed application, fixing the incorrect message that automatic updates were unavailable in the package.
Versions 0.0.1 and 0.1.0 require one manual installation of 0.1.1; later updates return to the normal flow on supported platforms.
Manual tasks reach the leader only after persisting the title, markdown description, and every image.
The leader and assigned agent receive the complete briefing in their terminals without losing descriptions or visual references.
23
Multilingual voice, Ports, and leader dictation
A release focused on local operation, speed, and workspace control.
Supertonic 3 INT8 replaced Kokoro for spoken replies, with pt-BR, en-US, and Latin Spanish presets, preview, and 0.75x to 1.50x speed.
The new Ports panel lists listeners tied to local Portals and stops them with confirmation and PID revalidation.
A global voice orb now triggers the leader microphone flow and sends transcription to the exact nodeId.
Codex MCP now uses absolute paths on Windows and starts correctly even outside a workspace.
Fixes for Claude session resume, deleted voice model downloads, and the Cmd/Ctrl+K dialog on large displays.
24
A more expressive canvas and reliable automation
Kanban, markdown, images, workflows, and the agent bridge received a broad revision.
Task composer with markdown descriptions and images before creation.
New Image node for mockups, screenshots, and diagrams connected to the team.
