This page summarizes the repository changelog. The source of truth is CHANGELOG.md in the Desk repository.

​
Unreleased

​
0.3.0 — source-backed CLI distribution

  • The curl installer now installs the complete desk CLI on supported macOS and glibc Linux x64/arm64 hosts, including WSL.
  • Plain desk serve launches the private compiled Bun runtime. desk serve --dev explicitly launches Vite; both modes fail without fallback.
  • Releases publish source, install-manifest, and checksum assets instead of a separate public server executable.
  • The installer provisions and rechecks required host packages, owns pinned Node 22.23.1/npm 10.9.8 and Bun 1.3.14 toolchains, validates archives before safe extraction, and builds in an isolated staging instance.
  • Install, upgrade, explicit downgrade, same-version repair, rollback, two- instance retention, launcher ownership, PATH ordering, and uninstall are lock-protected and fail closed.
  • The Docker image now uses the full CLI, defaults to desk serve, and retains the opt-in Vite mode.

​
Channels reliability and operations

  • Pane capture now waits for process close instead of exit, preventing truncated captures from misclassifying ready agents.
  • Channel engine tmux spawns have bounded timeouts and watchdog recovery for stale drain locks.
  • The channels header includes a diagnostics and recovery drawer with live pane classification, queue inspection, force-deliver, mark-idle, drop-queue, drain-ready, and engine rebuild actions.
  • Notification delivery is operator-forced and idempotent: delivery no longer depends on stale busy flags, and stale .delivering artifacts are reconciled.
  • Agent event and hook plumbing now covers Claude, Codex, and OpenCode lifecycle, prompt, stop, approval, delivery-ack, and status evidence.
  • desk channels read supports --message <msg-id>, and generated delivery prompts include both one-message and full-conversation read commands.
  • Channel viewport, read-state, action-panel navigation, modals, picker filters, delivery diagnosis, and regression coverage were expanded.

​
LSP integration

  • Desk now includes the shared LSP runtime, HTTP/WebSocket/MCP surfaces, Monaco wiring, server/session pool, diagnostics, completion, hover, rename, file-operation services, safe workspace edit application, capability tokens, and managed-agent LSP wiring.
  • TypeScript LSP support is detected automatically when the local project has the server dependency available.

​

  • manifest-driven tmux terminal sessions
