Tempest v0.1.4

The Orchestration release. Running a fleet of agents is one thing. Knowing which ones need you — and getting there in two keystrokes — is another. This release aims to close that gap.

What's in this release

Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P)

Press Ctrl+Shift+P from anywhere in the app to open a searchable command hub. Type a few characters to filter 13 commands across four sections:

Arrow keys navigate, Enter runs, Escape dismisses. Each command shows its keyboard shortcut inline. The palette is registered in the keybindings store automatically, so it appears in Settings → Keyboard and is rebindable like any other action.

Sidebar Orchestration

The sidebar now reflects what every session is doing, even when you are not looking at it.

Activity rollup — each project header shows the highest-priority state across all of its sessions: spinner while any session is working, green dot when everything is done, orange dot when any session needs attention. This is visible even when the project is collapsed.

Attention signals — a new attention state sits above done in the priority hierarchy. Two signals transition a session to it: the OSC 1337 RequestAttention sequence (Claude Code's "I'm blocked" signal, emitted when it needs a permission granted) and Gemini CLI's ✋ terminal title. Either produces an orange dot on the session tab, the sidebar badge, and the project header immediately — no tab focus required.

Attention Pill — an orange bell and count appear in the right end of the toolbar whenever any session is waiting. Clicking it triggers the same jump as Ctrl+Shift+A.

Jump to waiting (Ctrl+Shift+A) — a new keybinding that filters sessions with attention or done state, sorts attention-first, finds the next one after the current tab, and wraps around. One keystroke to reach whatever needs you without breaking flow.

Inline quick-create — click + on a project header to expand an autofocus input at the bottom of the session list. Press Enter and a new Claude Code root session opens immediately with that task. Right-click + still opens the full session menu for other agent types and options.

Drag-to-reorder — project groups and individual worktrees within a project are both draggable. A blue border shows the drop target. Order persists across app restarts.

Claude Permission Dialog — Reliability Fix

Claude Code's permission dialog was previously only detected reliably when the tab was focused. Two underlying issues:

1. Regex mismatch — the \b word-boundary anchors failed when Claude Code's PTY rendered the dialog cell-by-cell, compressing whitespace to "1. Yes2.Yes,allow…" with no boundary between option text and the next digit. Fixed with a negative-lookbehind (?<!\d) that matches the compressed form while rejecting digit-prefixed numbers like 31.

2. Split PTY reads — the fingerprint could arrive split across two PTY chunks, neither of which matched alone. Fixed with a 4 KB rolling window that reassembles the tail across reads.

Additionally, markDone() now spawns deferred rechecks at 3 s, 8 s, and 20 s, scanning the session buffer each time. Late-arriving permission dialogs upgrade the green dot to an orange bell without requiring tab focus.

First-Run Onboarding

New installs open a four-page onboarding flow before the main app:

onboardingComplete is written to runtime-state.json — survives localStorage clears and WebView resets.

Settings — API Keys

A new API Keys section in Settings manages all nine BYOK provider keys in one place.

Each provider row has three states: no key set (Add key button), key set (masked sk-••••••••3f9a display with show/hide, edit, and delete), and editing (full-width monospace input with Save/Cancel). A brief checkmark flashes on save. Ollama shows a "Local · no key needed" badge instead of an input.

Inline Code Review

The Diff pane now supports inline comments that you can send directly to an agent.

Per-line comments — hover any diff line to reveal a + button. Click to open an inline form below the line. Ctrl+Enter or the Comment button saves. Escape cancels.

Multi-line range — shift-click a second line to extend the selection. All selected rows get an indigo wash and a 3 px continuous bar segment. One square + button appears at the center of the range.

Comment on hunk — a button in the hunk header selects the full hunk as a comment range in one click.

Delivery — the Review Comments Bar appears at the bottom of the pane when pending comments exist. Pick a live agent session and click Send. Comments are written directly to the agent's PTY via write_to_pty — the same path as typing in the terminal — so the agent receives them immediately, not on its next idle cycle.

Comments persist across file switches within a session, scoped by working directory.

MSI Installer + Atlas on npm

Two infrastructure improvements that simplify setup:

MSI installer — Windows users can now install Tempest as a native .msi package alongside the existing NSIS .exe.

Atlas on npm — @usetempest/atlas is now published as an external npm package. A postinstall script stages it from node_modules/ into the Tauri resources directory automatically on every npm install. No manual build, copy, or bundle commands needed — npm install is the only setup step.

UI Polish

A focused round of targeted fixes across the interface:

Prompt picker — moved to a createPortal / position: fixed dropdown anchored by getBoundingClientRect. The toolbar's overflow: hidden no longer clips it. Copy button uses inverted colors with a label-only "Copied" state (no color change). Manage Prompts button changed to ghost style.

Agent tab group chips — hardcoded color: #fff replaced with var(--tempest-bg-base) so chips read correctly in both themes. A close-all × button (12 px, strokeWidth 2.2, matching the tab close button) fades in on hover with a gradient mask on the project name.

Diff comment cards — all hardcoded hex values replaced with --tempest-* CSS variables. Comment text uses var(--tempest-bg-base) for legibility on the yellow background in both themes. Left border accent removed. Hunk header buttons no longer stretch to match wrapped hunk range text (align-items: flex-start).

Tooltips — background changed to --tempest-fg-default, text to --tempest-bg-base, arrow updated to match — crisp inverted chip in both light and dark themes.

Settings keyboard nav — clicking the keyboard shortcut icon was opening Settings on the "appearance" tab instead of "keyboard". Fixed.

Changes tab (Right Sidebar) — +N -N line count badges on each changed file. Expandable inline diffs per file with a loading spinner and diff cache. Wrap Lines and Expand/Collapse All toolbar above the list. Stage All / Unstage All show a spinning loader and disable the button while running.

Codex CLI and Antigravity — added to the agent registry with proper SVG icons. All nine agents sorted alphabetically.

Platform Support

Windows requires WebView2 (bundled automatically when necessary).

What's next

• Database branches: each agent gets its own isolated clone of your production database — run migrations, seed data, and make schema changes without touching the shared database
• Per-agent configuration: flags, environment variables, working directory set once and applied to every session for that agent type
