AIHawk Releases

This release refactors the Server-Sent Events (SSE) implementation by centralizing framing logic into the `sse()` function and introducing `marker_at()`/`resume_point()` to prevent drift. The changes reduce code duplication and add a direct wire format test, ensuring no observable behavior changes for users.

v0.36.0 refactors the monolithic 3370-line `web.py` file into separate, modular files for CSS, JavaScript, HTML, and Python logic. The release ensures the refactored output remains byte-for-byte identical to the original, fixing line ending issues and improving JavaScript regex handling.

This release focuses on UI consistency by unifying the styling of the model badge and clear button into a single rule, ensuring they share the same height and padding. It also introduces a validation gate to prevent inconsistent control sizing from appearing across the interface.

Sep 9, 2026

This release enhances the UI by adding a rail icon for the SESSIONS category that appears on hover or keyboard interaction, standardizes all dimensions to published design tokens (Material Design), and fixes the pane resizing logic to allow the chat to expand dynamically based on user input.

Sep 9, 2026

This release focuses on UI cleanup and accessibility improvements, removing redundant elements like the model header and token meter. It refines typography for better readability and fixes critical layout overflow issues on narrow screens. Additionally, it introduces automated validation gates to prevent common CSS and layout bugs.

This release modifies the instruction handling regarding emojis, changing the rule from one with exceptions to a flat prohibition. It prevents the model from exploiting the original instruction to include emojis as status markers and adjusts the test gate logic to enforce the new restriction. The update also fixes a comment-versus-code defect in the test suite.

Sep 9, 2026

This release focuses on a comprehensive overhaul of the browser pane and visual design, significantly improving accessibility and performance. It introduces strict error handling for failed steps and deletes, ensuring the interface accurately reflects the agent's state. Several UI refinements, including dark mode adjustments and keyboard navigation fixes, are included to enhance usability.

Sep 9, 2026

This release focuses on accessibility compliance with WCAG 2.2, adjusting color contrast ratios and minimum touch target sizes. It also refines layout logic to adapt dynamically to the actual number of running screens and centers images correctly within their containers.

Sep 9, 2026

This release fixes a critical bug where the browser engine binary path was incorrectly saved to session files, causing browsers to launch on the wrong engine or fail to launch when the local path did not exist on the target machine. The engine is now resolved dynamically at runtime using the launch plan rather than being persisted to the file.

Sep 9, 2026

This release introduces a redesigned UI with a full-height session column spine and adds support for viewing 1, 2, or 4 live browser screens in a grid. It also includes performance optimizations based on actual frame timing measurements and visual indicators for stale browser connections.

Sep 9, 2026

This release focuses on improving prompt adherence by refining the output strategy to reduce 'machine-like' decoration in AI responses and updating the content gate to validate prompt intent. It also enhances UI accessibility by explicitly labeling the sessions control and fixing state management bugs related to ARIA attributes.

Sep 8, 2026

This update focuses on improving the readability and accessibility of the reading interface by adjusting typography calculations and making text sizes responsive to browser settings. It introduces a dynamic divider between panes that adapts to the user's specific task, allowing for a more flexible layout.

Sep 8, 2026

The answer pane now supports full Markdown rendering, including headings, lists, and other elements, replacing the previous limited inline mark support. Additionally, the release resolves a display issue where the last sentence of a conversation was hidden and fixes logic regarding how instruction changes apply to saved transcripts.

Sep 8, 2026

This release transitions all browser controls to natural language commands, removing dedicated UI buttons. It introduces a pane pinning system allowing users to focus on specific views while the agent manages others. The session column is also redesigned to be hidden by default and remembers user interaction history.

Sep 8, 2026

This release fixes a critical bug where user input typed while an agent is processing is now preserved even if the application crashes or the page is refreshed.

Sep 8, 2026

This release optimizes the live view by removing unnecessary page title fetching during frame updates, resulting in significant latency reduction. It refines session saving logic to use URLs instead of full tab descriptions to minimize round trips.

Sep 8, 2026

This release significantly boosts the performance of the live pane by increasing the frame rate from approximately twelve to twenty-five frames per second. It improves speed across the engine, wrapper, and page collection layers, though the default wrapper speed remains at ten frames per second to save bandwidth for batch jobs.

Sep 8, 2026

This release focuses on session resumption and crash recovery, allowing browsers to resume exactly where they left off with their tabs and URLs. It introduces a 'wake' mechanism that provides visual feedback during engine startup and improves the reliability of browser rebuilding after failures.

Sep 8, 2026

This release introduces a multi-browser workspace feature allowing a session to manage up to eight browsers with a split-screen interface. It includes performance optimizations for rendering and updates the `browser_list` API to return detailed browser and tab information.
