State safety, durable channels, session rewind, and Wear OS companion ship

2026.7.2

Highlights

• State safety and recovery: protect persisted data with a quarantine store that survives primary-database damage, crash-recoverable SQLite snapshots, crash-durable filesystem publication, schema-upgrade data-loss rejection, and rollback-writer snapshot recovery. (#110453, #113367, #113453, #113473, #113580) Thanks @vincentkoc.
• Durable channel delivery: keep accepted messages recoverable across gateway restarts and local crashes through the shared ingress drain and dead-letter recovery, covering Telegram, Signal, Slack, QQBot, Twitch, Synology Chat, Tlon, IRC, and Zalo User. #108656, #107246, #109911 (#108924, #107288, #109907, #109910, #110844, #110852, #110899, #110910, #110914, #110916, #111029) Thanks @obviyus and @edenfunf.
• Session rewind and branching: rewind or fork conversations from individual messages, switch transcript branches across web and native apps, fork upstream Codex sessions, preserve branch-safe queued sends, reject stale-pane writes, and restore prompt images after a fork. (#110660, #110857, #110886, #111149, #112056, #112284, #113073, #113945) Thanks @vincentkoc.
• Interactive MCP Apps and dashboards: host ticketed MCP Apps with bound tools, resources, and bounded context updates; open them from channel replies, pin them to durable dashboards, harden their shared sandbox, and let native plugins declare them directly. #109851, #110451, #113218 (#109861, #109807, #110515, #111211, #111212, #111524, #111687, #111748, #113224) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
• Questions and approvals everywhere: let agents ask structured questions with option cards across web, channels, macOS, and native apps, while approvals gain push notifications, history, fair queuing, headless resolution, Claude tool-request relay, reviewer detail, and clearer formatted prompts. #85954 (#108505, #108709, #108776, #109922, #110242, #110372, #110584, #110681, #110989, #111060, #112918, #113027, #113193) Thanks @omarshahine.
• Meetings and realtime Talk: join Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet calls with default-enabled meeting plugins and durable transcript collection, while realtime Talk adds OpenAI and Gemini video and requires a supported OpenAI Platform API key instead of the rejected Codex OAuth fallback. #86425, #113353, #115021 (#109579, #109719, #109964, #111048, #113022, #113053, #113122, #113354, #115211) Thanks @shushushv, @Solvely-Colin, and @vincentkoc.
• Wear OS companion: add the phone-proxied Wear companion with home-screen agent/session/model selection, realtime Talk controls, audio-reactive playback, and an instant-talk tile. #108781 (#108835, #109341, #109433, #109483, #110661, #111516, #112721) Thanks @sibbl, @IWhatsskill, and @Solvely-Colin.
• Guided setup and local inference: guide setup across browser, Linux, and macOS with local-provider detection, strongest-model selection, downloadable models, lean mode, memory imports, and an in-process RAM-gated llama.cpp/Gemma path. #108604 (#108605, #108868, #108977, #109250, #109444, #109585, #110054, #110141, #110596, #113476)

• Channels: add the Buzz plugin, Slack user-identity and Agent View modes, Telegram Bot API rich blocks and native Markdown lists, and richer Matrix formatting. (#113419, #109837, #103895; related #103673; #107986, #113158, #113199) Thanks @Patrick-Erichsen and @obviyus.

• Control UI setup: continue verified model setup into Custodian, explain that the web app is ready without a channel, and offer an optional dismissible path to Channels. (#116078, #116079) Thanks @vincentkoc.
• Buzz messaging: preserve Markdown and structured room content, then add room- and thread-scoped typing indicators with reconnect-safe lifecycle handling. (#116096, #116194) Thanks @shakkernerd.
• Automations naming: rename the scheduler-facing cron agent tool and visible CLI/UI surfaces to Automations while retaining the compatible CLI alias. (#114841, #114854, #114853) Thanks @omarshahine.
• DuckDuckGo search: move DuckDuckGo search into the plugin boundary so provider ownership, installation, and runtime behavior stay outside core. (#116740) Thanks @vincentkoc.

Fixes

• Security and authorization: prevent channel allowlists from granting owner access, keep session exports inside the workspace, close a forged-marker/web-search boundary bypass, prevent non-owner ACP session exposure, reject unsafe explicit approval IDs, harden secret redaction and exec/OAuth approvals, validate downloaded install scripts, and prevent insecure secrets-plan writes. (#107403; related #104984; #104708; related #102391; #110417, #110745; related #103055; #111055, #112947, #112952, #112953, #112956, #112946, #112957, #113307; related #90013; #113707) Thanks @obviyus, @yetval, @VACInc, @pgondhi987, and @SebTardif.
• SQLite and data safety: commit session indexes before transcript eviction, preserve state through maintenance races and live-WAL verification, reject invalid backups and schema data loss, make snapshot publication crash-recoverable, retain complete backups after interrupted commits, and evict only the exact corrupted cached database owner so repairs recover without a Gateway restart. (#108378, #113216; related #113209, #113210, #113211; #113287; related #113265; #113367, #113473, #113607, #114016, #114278) Thanks @yetval, @vincentkoc, @VACInc, and @rizquuula.
• Channel delivery: stop Telegram durable-ingress loss across restarts and persist offsets only after spool writes, preserve Discord/iMessage/WhatsApp traffic across crashes or restarts, restore assistant context and interrupted turns after restart, suppress outbound echoes, deliver ingress retries whose queued run was dropped, report finalized Telegram previews to plugins, explain invalid native queue arguments instead of false model-failure fallbacks, validate native settings, and preserve Telegram ingress outcomes.

• Sessions and transcripts: preserve final replies, active turns, Codex-bound history, and transcript cursors; prevent repeated tool-call IDs from poisoning sessions; close lifecycle races and cross-agent deadlocks; keep migrated transcripts usable after restart; keep restart prompts on the active transcript tail; and preserve TUI session state across switches and reconnects. (#107799; related #106594; #110389, #110518; related #109443; #112016, #112988, #114477; related #103077, #103089, #113005, #114187; #114524, #114504, #116077, #116399, #117260) Thanks @joshavant, @lockhartheavyindustries, @flashosophy, @yetval, @realaudreyserber-afk, @hvhoon, and @vincentkoc.

• Provider reliability: prevent false Codex exhaustion and silent replies, honor Anthropic Retry-After, preserve selected Claude CLI profiles and adopted chats, remove the rejected Codex OAuth realtime fallback, recover stalled Claude CLI sessions without losing native cache continuity, reuse plugin metadata during model selection, bound stalled provider response bodies, and stabilize Ollama/LM Studio/local-model discovery.
