CCCC v0.4.8 Release Notes

v0.4.8 builds on v0.4.7 with a focused round of workflow, runtime, and operator-surface improvements.

Compared with v0.4.7, this release makes Web Pet materially more useful, tightens task and messaging behavior across Web and MCP, improves actor/runtime visibility, hardens projected browser flows, and adds another round of platform polish.

Highlights

1) Web Pet became a real attention assistant

v0.4.8 turns Web Pet into a more practical follow-up surface instead of a decorative extra.

Review scheduling, reminder generation, decision handling, and the Web Pet panel/bubble flow were substantially reworked so the system can surface clearer reminders, better suggestions, and more stable task proposals from live group state.

2) Task workflow handling is more reliable

This release continues the task workflow cleanup that started in v0.4.7.

Task handling across Web and MCP is more consistent, peer-created MCP tasks now default to self-assignment, and status/update flows are less fragile in day-to-day use.

3) Actor and runtime state are easier to trust

v0.4.8 improves visibility into what actors are actually doing.

The actor list now exposes richer terminal-derived working state, startup paths gained stronger runtime preflight checks, and daemon transport diagnostics are surfaced more clearly for operators.

4) Browser-backed and auth flows were hardened

Projected browser support took a meaningful step forward in this release.

Browser-backed sessions used for embedded views and NotebookLM / Google auth are more robust, with better reconnect and compatibility behavior across the supported desktop environments.

5) Messaging, search, and Web behavior were cleaned up further

This release also includes a broad reliability pass across the Web and daemon surfaces.

Highlights include:

• tighter Web-to-daemon messaging semantics
• faster ledger/search and unread-index paths
• clearer context and chat UI behavior
• modularized Web API services for a cleaner frontend integration layer

6) Platform polish

v0.4.8 also includes smaller but useful platform-facing fixes.

Notably, the Web secret editor now accepts Windows-friendly env snippets such as set KEY=VALUE and $env:KEY="VALUE" in addition to the existing Unix-style forms.

Summary

In short, v0.4.8 is the release that brings together:

1. a more useful and better-behaved Web Pet
2. more reliable task workflow behavior across Web and MCP
3. clearer actor/runtime working-state visibility
4. stronger projected browser and auth flows
5. another round of messaging, search, and Web reliability work
6. small but important cross-platform polish
