Agent Zero Release Notes

• Consolidated goal tool — Replaced the separate create, get, update, and storage modules with a single multi-action goal tool while preserving the slash command, API, goal strip, and active-goal response behavior.

• Resumable, secret-safe chat compaction — Compaction now preserves authorization, evidence, pending work, loaded skills, and secret references in a fixed resumable-state summary. The stale context-window cache is cleared after compaction.

• Smarter runtime secret redaction — Masking of usr/.env values is now limited to API keys and login/password credentials, preventing ordinary settings from corrupting chat text. Global and project secrets remain fully protected.

• Shell and SSH process exits handled as completion — Terminated local, SSH, and TTY shells are now detected and treated as definitive command completion. New is_terminated and get_exit_code helpers are available across session types. Terminated sessions are recreated lazily before the next command.

• Deferred task resource cleanup — Callables and arguments are now released after task completion or cancellation, preventing retained references. Child tasks are cleaned up and best-effort destructors added for local and SSH sessions.

• Paramiko import traceback leak fixed — Cleared a stale traceback retained by Paramiko's optional-import cache that was keeping the code-execution tool-loading stack and first agent in memory.

• Chrome Web Store extension installs fixed — Redundant same-version reinstalls are skipped, updates are staged before replacing files, and active browser runtimes are restarted safely.

• Stabilized internal Docker browser rendering — WebUI navigation now returns after the initial document commit, socket timeouts align with browser command deadlines, and cropped or mismatched screencast frames are rejected to prevent viewport stretching.

• Inline confirmation for extension deletion — The native confirm dialog is replaced with the shared inline confirmation UI, with proper escaping of extension names.

• Page-tail history snapshots for connectors — Interactive clients can now receive a bounded tail snapshot and cursor-based older pages. Clients that do not request history hints still receive complete replay.

• Hardened malformed response and tool handling — Missing or malformed response arguments now raise a repairable exception instead of exposing a KeyError. Fenced or structurally broken tool intent is routed through the existing misformat repair path so streamed chats no longer stall in a thinking state.

• Stabilized WebUI mount geometry — Added responsive shell styling with a 250 px desktop sidebar that yields to the mounted left panel and collapses on mobile. The welcome composer now reserves its final height during hydration.

• Launcher download links updated to v1.4 — README and platform installer links now point to the published v1.4 Launcher artifacts.
