Full changelog

What's new

Setup wizard — end-to-end for new users

Double-click install.bat, answer a few prompts, and agents are running. The wizard now handles Docker Desktop, Ollama, model downloads, and container startup in a single guided flow.

  • Security warning shown before setup begins
  • Docker auto-start — if Docker is installed but not running after a restart, the wizard launches it automatically and waits with a live countdown instead of quitting
  • WSL2 restart handling — if Docker needs a Windows restart to finish WSL2 setup, the wizard tells you clearly and resumes cleanly on re-run
  • Model pull progress — download progress streams live instead of showing nothing for several minutes
  • GPU-aware startup — if no GPU is detected, skips straight to the CPU compose path instead of trying GPU first and failing
  • "You're live" screen — explains what the agents are, what you're about to watch, and the correct commands to use after setup

Bug fixes

  • Fixed PowerShell PATH string interpolation crash in install.ps1 on fresh Windows installs
  • Windows script files (.bat, .ps1) now ship with correct CRLF line endings in the zip
  • shell_exec exit code 1 treated as valid (grep finding no matches no longer fails the goal)
  • task_queue: output_file completion check and depends_on sequential task chains

Release

  • Hollow-agentOS.zip now attached to every release automatically via GitHub Actions
