Tessera

Tessera v0.1.6

Tessera v0.1.6 focuses on desktop reliability, WSL/Electron fixes, richer Codex session control, better conversation workflows, and stronger release validation across Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Highlights

Codex Goals and Session Control

• Added Codex goal integration so a session can carry an explicit goal through the composer and session controls.
• Added goal-aware UI controls and command handling for Codex sessions.
• Improved Codex protocol parsing so progress, tool events, and richer model output are preserved more reliably.

Conversation Workflows

• Added conversation forking from a specific message, making it easier to branch a useful point in a thread into a new direction.
• Improved session history persistence so progress and intermediate state survive resume/refresh flows more reliably.
• Improved title generation and live session update handling across chat, board, and popout views.
• Fixed regular chat sessions so referenced files are visible and accessible where expected.

WSL and Windows Electron Fixes

• Fixed Windows Electron WSL path handling, including safer conversion between Windows host paths and WSL paths.
• Fixed WSL attachment paths in Electron so uploaded or referenced files resolve correctly in desktop sessions.
• Improved configurable worktree path templates across local, WSL, and hosted environments.
• Added safer host-path and filesystem existence helpers used by project, file, upload, terminal, and export routes.

Desktop and Terminal Reliability

• Fixed packaged macOS terminal startup environment so user shell paths and globally installed CLIs are picked up more consistently.
• Fixed terminal manager compilation for Electron/server builds.
• Improved terminal cwd resolution and packaged node-pty handling.
• Isolated the Windows release build home/profile to avoid runner user-profile build failures.

Board, Popout, and Kanban

• Fixed board popout state synchronization across windows.
• Fixed board popout task creation sync so new tasks appear correctly across views.
• Refined kanban running and processing animations, including the processing border animation.
• Improved cross-window UI synchronization for board/session updates.

Provider and Message Reliability

• Preserved provider tool events more reliably across Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode.
• Improved rendering and storage for richer agent output, tool events, and message groups.
• Improved session export behavior for more complete conversation data.

Feedback and Telemetry

• Added in-app feedback submission.
• Added lightweight product telemetry events.

Release Engineering

• Added a manual Desktop Preflight Builds workflow to test Windows x64, macOS x64, macOS arm64, and Linux x64 before official release builds.
• Published signed/notarized desktop artifacts for macOS Intel and Apple Silicon.
• Published Windows portable, Linux AppImage, and Linux deb artifacts.
• Published @horang-labs/[email protected] to npm and marked it as latest.
