What's New

Major overhaul with redesigned terminal workbench and strict security restrictions on tool inheritance and plugin access.

Breaking Changes

  • Children no longer automatically inherit desktop or computer-control tools.
  • Plugin allowlist enforcement may disable plugins previously enabled outside the policy.
  • Session grants for `apply_patch` are now scoped to individual files rather than generic patch shapes.

New Features

  • Redesigned terminal workbench with clearer settings.
  • Plugin allowlist support via `managed-policy.json`.
  • Scoped patch approval security improvements.
  • Configurable statusline metrics (TTFT, output rate).
  • Custom run names for tasks.

Improvements

  • Enhanced security measures via desktop controls and plugin allowlists.
  • Session patch approvals now scoped to specific files for better control.
  • New configuration options for tasks and statuslines.

Upgrade Notes

Users migrating from legacy `deepseek` or `deepseek-tui` names must update to `codewhale` following the docs/REBRAND.md guide. Review `managed-policy.json` to ensure plugins are explicitly allowed if the allowlist is enforced. Check session grants for `apply_patch` to align with the new file-scoping requirements.
