Changelog

Features

• Install and update Notifai as a standalone native CLI on macOS, Linux and Windows. The runtime needs no Node, npm, Bun or Git, verifies signed release inventories, and follows a signed beta update channel.
• Put the notifai command in the User command directory ($XDG_BIN_HOME or ~/.local/bin), as Claude Code's native installer, uv and pipx do. A shell startup file is edited only when that directory is not already on PATH (zsh, bash, sh and fish); other shells get the exact line to add instead of an error.
• Link registered questions to the Claude Code question picker.
• Use the Claude Code session inbox on native Windows.
• Name a Claude Code Agent Session from the session's own title.
• Offer Claude Code approval for the commands an away User needs.

Bug Fixes

• When an agent cannot find Notifai on PATH, look for the existing native CLI before installing. Native installation instructions replace the frozen npm-runtime fallback, which could shadow an updated installation.

• Give each Claude Code wake its own token. Claude Code drops a message identical to the previous one, so a repeated wake to an idle session never arrived.

• Hand an open Claude Code session over to the installed runtime at its next prompt or turn end, so a session open across an update no longer keeps the previous wake behavior.

• Order session lifecycle events written by different processes correctly in the native runtime. In 11.8.0-beta.2 its clock restarted in every process, so an open session did not hand over to a newly installed runtime and Codex session ownership checks were unreliable.

• Install on Windows over the ~/.notifai folder an earlier npm CLI left behind. 11.8.0-beta.3 refused it as unsafe before migrating its permissions.

• Open Claude Code inbox writes with the session token.

• Refresh and verify the skill copy each harness loads.

• Keep explicit questions and owed answers independent of Project Enablement.

Dependencies and limits

• Protocol stays at 8.2.1.
• Native archives embed Bun 1.4.2. Its corresponding source is the runtime-sources-bun-1.4.2 release, and every archive carries the notices and rebuilding instructions.
• macOS executables are Developer ID signed and notarized. Windows executables are unsigned in this beta.
• This beta is distributed as native archives through the shell and PowerShell bootstraps or a manual download. It is not published to npm, and the optional npm bootstrap is not yet available.
• An existing npm installation moves to the native runtime only through the explicit migration step; it is never replaced automatically.
• 11.8.0-beta.1 was tagged but never published. 11.8.0-beta.2 and 11.8.0-beta.3 were published with the defects above; update to this beta with notifai update.

Bug Fixes

• Avoid redundant permission changes when private state already has the required modes, including in sandboxes that deny chmod.
• Report Project Enablement write failures as actionable question-command errors before registration.

Bug Fixes

• Start question submission immediately so agents can continue independent work; preserve answer observation across concurrent questions and uncertain network responses.

• Preserve accepted note order across release and retry, and wake the resident Claude delivery process promptly when answers become available.

• Deliver pending notes and answers together at supported Codex and Claude input boundaries, and queue content-free wake prompts to avoid stale answer copies.

• Observe automatic Codex turns at trusted tool callbacks so busy sessions can receive pending input without waiting for another human prompt.

• Record delivery stages, batch sizes and oldest pending note age for clearer local diagnostics.

• Accept repeated successful CI evidence for one release commit while requiring all checks from one complete run.

Bug Fixes

• Keep child callbacks from consuming parent input or changing parent activity.
• Wake pending input even when activity suggests a later tool callback, retaining claim and duplicate-delivery protection.

Bug Fixes

• Reconcile Codex Working and Idle state with the exact native turn lifecycle.
• Activate existing session attendants during update recovery and verify their loaded implementation.
• Preserve parent notes and pending delivery while child agents work, with queued fallback delivery.

Dependencies

• Pin the verified @raidiant/notifai-protocol artifact at 8.1.4-beta.2.

Bug Fixes

• cli: migrate owned integration during updates and detect local drift without repeated notices (#219) (fea78df).
• cli: isolate healthy lifecycle fixtures and verify one-time native-approval diagnostics (#220) (51ef7c9).

This beta includes the harness and session-naming improvements from beta.2. The protocol remains 8.1.2. Updates preserve pending questions, answers, acknowledgements and native approval; native activation is reported separately from package installation.

Bug Fixes

• cli: preserve Codex approval identities during missing-hook repair, including empty groups and foreign handlers (#221) (e085037).
• cli: migrate owned integration during updates and detect local drift without repeated notices (#219) (fea78df).
• cli: isolate healthy lifecycle fixtures and verify one-time native-approval diagnostics (#220) (51ef7c9).

This beta replaces beta.3's missing-hook repair, which could reorder otherwise healthy Codex handlers and invalidate their approval. Existing hooks now refresh in place; ambiguous duplicate or retired Codex slots require an explicit migration. The protocol remains 8.1.2. Pending work, native trust and existing matcher restrictions remain User-owned. This beta also includes beta.2's harness and session-naming improvements.
