Founding Bot X 0.3.0
Released October 21, 2026. All releases
New
- Run threads from the terminal. On the computer that runs Founding Bot X,
foundingbot-x thread start,send,show, andliststart a thread, message it, and read it back, no sign-in needed. See Scripts on the host. - The composer stays usable while an agent waits for an approval. Sending a message declines the request and tells the agent what to do instead.
- Thread links in chat show as chips, and thread chips show their project's icon.
Fixes
- Founding Bot Connect addresses now start with
foundingbot-relay-. A computer linked before this release keeps its old address until you link it again. - The app says "Founding Bot account" everywhere it means your account.
- Checkpoint commits are authored by "Founding Bot", the same as stacked pull request rebases.
- Stop on a delegated task always clears it, even when it is stuck, and delegates finish once their leftover work settles.
- Stopping a thread sends the held messages you selected.
- Steering a finished turn starts a new block of work instead of stacking under the old one.
- ⌘Z undoes a settle even when the composer has focus.
- Thread search shows the same pull request badge as the sidebar.
- Images on their own line no longer sit beside their label.
- Stalled clones say "Stalled" instead of showing a frozen speed.
- Storage cleanup no longer counts space it didn't free.
- Codex compaction and resumed sessions no longer show usage warnings for skipped turns.
- Git commands start faster on macOS.
- The desktop app moves to Electron 44.9.3, which blocks compromised certificate authority keys.
Upgrading
Update from 0.2.1 as usual: the desktop app updates itself, and foundingbot-x update updates the command line.
