CodeWhale 0.8.44 ڈاؤن لوڈ

Added
- codew convenience alias. codew is a short-form command that silently forwards to codewhale. Six fewer keystrokes, same binary. Ships with the Rust codewhale-cli crate and the npm codewhale package (#2013).
- Session picker inline rename. Press r in the session picker (Ctrl+R) to rename the selected session inline. Type the new title, Enter to confirm, Esc to cancel (#1600).
- Plan detail display. The "Plan Confirmation" modal now shows the plan explanation and step list from update_plan so you can review what was proposed before accepting (#834).
- Agent team UX. Delegate cards in the transcript now show human-readable roles (scout, builder, reviewer, verifier, executor) and the completion summary instead of raw agent_xxx IDs (#1981).
- --continue / -c CLI flag. codewhale --continue resumes your most recent interactive session for the current workspace.
Changed
- App state migrates to ~/.codewhale/. New installs write product-owned state (config, sessions, tasks, skills, logs, etc.) under ~/.codewhale/. ~/.deepseek/ continues to work as a compatibility fallback — no data loss, no forced migration. CODEWHALE_HOME and CODEWHALE_CONFIG_PATH env vars are now supported alongside existing DEEPSEEK_* vars (#2011).
- Project config overlay prefers .codewhale/config.toml before .deepseek/config.toml. Both are read; the CodeWhale root takes precedence.
- Doctor reports active state root and whether legacy ~/.deepseek/ state is also present.
- README contributor acknowledgements are current for this release. Thanks @jeoor, @LING71671, and @ousamabenyounes for the fixes and reports now reflected in the public credits.
- Harvested-contribution credit audit completed. The README Thanks list now includes previously missed community helpers whose code, reports, or review notes were already credited in older changelog entries but not in the public contributor surface: @mvanhorn, @krisclarkdev, @tdccccc, @LittleBlacky, @AnaheimEX, @THatch26, @alvin1, @knqiufan, @IIzzaya, @duanchao-lab, @imkingjh999, @eng2007, @chennest, @kunpeng-ai-lab, @asdfg314284230, @maker316, @lalala-233, @muyuliyan, @czf0718, @MeAiRobot, @tiger-dog, @MMMarcinho, @lucaszhu-hue, @sandofree, @zhuangbiaowei, @NorethSea, @Jianfengwu2024, @Fire-dtx, @oooyuy92, @qinxianyuzou, @tyouter, @xulongzhe, @YaYII, @47Cid, and @JafarAkhondali.
- Harvest guidance now requires GitHub-visible attribution. Maintainer harvests should preserve the original commit author where possible or add Co-authored-by trailers from the original PR commits, in addition to the existing Harvested from PR #N by @handle trailer and changelog credit.
- Enter now steers when busy-waiting. When the model is busy but not actively streaming (waiting on tool results, sub-agents, or shell commands), pressing Enter tries to steer your message into the current turn instead of silently queueing it. During active streaming, Enter still queues to avoid interrupting in-flight reasoning (#2009).
Fixed
- /save no longer creates repo-local session_*.json. Default saves now go to the managed sessions directory instead of the current workspace. Explicit /save path/to/file.json exports still work as before (#2010).
- Boot-time session prune caps managed sessions at 50 on every startup, preventing unbounded growth of ~/.codewhale/sessions/.
- Checkpoint path resolution no longer hardcodes ~/.deepseek/ — uses the resolved session directory instead.
- Plain startup no longer auto-opens the session picker. codewhale and codew start in a fresh composer again even when saved sessions exist. Use /sessions, Ctrl+R, --resume, or --continue when you want to resume.
- Work sidebar now refreshes immediately after checklist_write, checklist_update, and update_plan tool calls, matching the existing todo_write behavior instead of relying on the 2.5s periodic poll (#1787).
