Full changelog
Aura v1.3.6 – Planner/Worker Coordination, Large-Task Reliability, and Dispatch UX
This release tightens the Planner → Worker handoff for larger implementation tasks, improves project-generation consistency across multi-step sessions, and refines the dispatch experience.
Planner/Worker Coordination
- Improved Worker handoff quality for larger, multi-file implementation tasks. Dispatched work now carries stronger structure, helping the Worker stay focused and making changes easier to review.
- Refined Worker behavior around validation, scoped changes, and completion reporting — fewer ambiguous completions and cleaner task summaries.
- Improved project context handling so subsequent passes remain aligned with earlier planning decisions.
Large-Task and Project-Generation Improvements
- Strengthened generated project consistency for larger bootstrap-style builds. Multi-step work now produces more coherent development slices.
- Reduced noisy or generated-looking artifacts during larger repo generation.
Auto-Commit Messages
- Improved auto-commit message quality. Git history from Worker sessions is now cleaner, more descriptive, and easier to follow in log/diff review.
Dispatch Spec Visibility Fix
- When Auto-Dispatch is off, the dispatch spec card now correctly displays so you can review and edit the spec before handing off to the Worker. Previously the card was hidden in certain states, making manual review unnecessarily difficult.
Fixes and Polish
- Improved handling of Worker dispatch metadata.
- Improved persistence of Worker dispatch details for later review and conversation continuity.
- Tightened validation-command handling in Worker handoffs.
- Small reliability improvements around dispatch flow and project context refresh.
Notes
This release is primarily internal workflow quality and reliability. The visible result should be smoother multi-pass coding sessions, cleaner plans, more reliable project generation, and a more useful Git history.
