Founding Bot X 0.1.3

Founding Bot X

• foundingbot-x connect logout now also revokes the command line's Founding Bot Connect sign-in on Founding Bot, not just on your machine.

New

• Add a project to another machine from the composer's machine picker: choose Add to another machine under Run on. Its .env files come along.
• Compact idle Claude threads before their prompt cache expires, so coming back to a long thread costs less: turn on Compact idle Claude threads (beta) in Settings → General.
• Choose what the in-app browser's address bar searches, including a custom search URL, in Settings → Integrations.
• Math in messages renders as LaTeX, and Mermaid diagrams show math labels.
• Limits bars mark where an even pace would put you, so you can see whether you're ahead of your quota.
• HEIC image attachments and PDFs in browser previews now display.

Faster

• Switching threads, streaming in other threads, provider status updates, and typing in dialogs re-render far less of the app.
• Opening a thread lands on the newest message right away, and scrolling a huge thread's history no longer loops.
• Large changed-file trees, long composer code blocks, and find in a long thread stay responsive.
• The desktop app shows a connecting screen while the local server starts, and a large database no longer blocks startup for minutes.
• Idle terminals, disabled providers, and Git status checks use less CPU in the background.

Fixes

• Claude Plan mode asks before writing files in Auto and Full access.
• Claude task lists survive a server restart and stay in the composer between turns.
• A full Claude context window no longer shows as a usage limit, and the context meter shows your auto-compact threshold.
• Claude, Codex, Cursor, and OpenCode failures say why a turn couldn't start or was rejected.
• An OpenCode tool killed for using too much memory no longer stops every OpenCode thread.
• A failed run shows Failed, not Completed, and a stopped turn no longer hides the next turn's diff.
• Settings saved while the server starts are no longer lost, and saving settings no longer reverts your own edits to settings.json.
• File saves no longer follow symlinks out of the workspace.
• Sites in the built-in browser can't post notifications without your permission.
• Checkpoints work in Windows workspaces with paths over 260 characters.
• A slow server update download no longer fails after 10 minutes, and foundingbot-x update or foundingbot-x service restart run from inside Founding Bot X no longer leave the service stopped.
• SSH pairing asks for a password or a verification code, and an interrupted SSH pairing picks up where it left off.
• fish shells no longer stall for 10 seconds when a terminal starts.
• Threads that finish together play one completion sound.
• Snoozed threads no longer wake early after background updates.
• Status animations and scrolling respect Reduce Motion.
• Desktop: no more duplicate backends on macOS, half-screen tiling works on scaled displays, and the Windows Start Menu shortcut is back.

Upgrading

Update from 0.1.2 as usual: the desktop app updates itself, and foundingbot-x update updates the command line.
