CCCC v0.4.1 Release Notes

v0.4.1 is a stabilization release after the v0.4.0 launch. It focuses on operational correctness, safer secret workflows, and tighter docs parity.

Highlights

1) Lifecycle correctness and event consistency

Actor/group lifecycle handling was hardened so state transitions and emitted events stay aligned. This reduces drift between runtime truth and observer surfaces (Web/MCP/stream consumers), especially around start/stop/restart paths.

2) Automation semantics tightened around idle operation

Automation behavior under idle state was clarified and aligned with explicit group-state semantics. The result is more predictable reminder behavior and fewer operator surprises in long-running groups.

3) Safer secret operations in Web flows

Web actor editing now shows masked secret previews for configured keys. Operators can verify that the intended key/value shape exists without any plaintext exposure.

Security posture remains unchanged:

• secret values are never returned as plaintext
• write-only private env storage is preserved
• masked previews are metadata-only UX

4) Terminal/runtime guardrails

Terminal maintenance and resize-related handling received additional hardening. This reduces fragile behavior under mixed runtime conditions and lowers regression risk for active sessions.

5) Documentation and distribution polish

v0.4.1 also refreshes outward-facing assets:

• updated README surfaces and release hub references
• SDK entry-point visibility improved
• project logo assets integrated consistently across docs/web

Validation Summary

Release preparation checks passed on the branch:

• pytest -q -> 146 passed
• npm --prefix web run typecheck -> pass
• npm --prefix web run build -> pass
• npm --prefix docs run build -> pass

Upgrade Notes

From v0.4.0, this is a drop-in minor upgrade. No migration procedure is required.

Recommended post-upgrade checks:

1. restart daemon/web once to ensure clean runtime state
2. verify actor lifecycle behavior in one test group (start/stop/restart)
3. confirm masked secret previews appear as expected in Web actor edit
