v1.11.2 — Group creation enhancements and runtime reliability

What's New

Core Features

• Select members during group creation
• You can now pick group members at the time you create a group, streamlining setup and reducing follow-up steps.
• Unified workspace formats for groups and agents
• Groups now support the same workspace formats as agents, providing a consistent collaboration experience and simplifying content sharing.
• Preserve history on deletion of models and agents
• Historical activity and references remain intact when models or agents are deleted, improving auditability and preventing accidental loss of context.

Optimizations

• Faster, single-pass group greetings
• Simple group greeting flows run in a single pass, reducing latency and improving responsiveness during onboarding.
• Faster CI image builds
• Image builds now use a faster Alpine mirror, shortening build times in CI pipelines and reducing release turnaround.

UI/UX Enhancements

• Planned group collaboration stays visible
• Planned collaborative actions remain visible to all group members, improving transparency and coordination.
• Cached group announcements persist across tab switches
• Announcement content no longer disappears when switching tabs, ensuring consistent visibility across the app.

Bug Fixes

• Restored automatic execution for Agent task schedules
• Fixes a regression where scheduled agent tasks were not executing automatically, restoring expected automation behavior.
• Restored reliable runtime and end-to-end behavior
• Addresses multiple stability regressions to ensure predictable runtime and E2E test behavior in v1.11.2.
• Prevented deterministic compaction failures from poisoning retries
• Runtime retries are no longer affected by deterministic compaction failures, improving overall task reliability.
• Stopped invalid request budgets at compact input boundary
• Adds guardrails to block invalid request budgets before compaction, preventing downstream errors and wasted cycles.
• Prevented image payloads from failing before provider dispatch
• Image payloads are correctly prepared and dispatched to providers, reducing pre-dispatch failures.
• Preserved backend error semantics across user-visible surfaces
• Error semantics are consistent across backend and UI layers, improving clarity and debuggability.
• Preserved human assignments before group planning
• Human role assignments remain intact when initiating group planning, preventing unintended loss of ownership.
• Kept completed group plans from disappearing silently
• Completed plans no longer vanish without feedback, improving traceability and user confidence.
• Kept oversized file generation recoverable
• Oversized file generation now fails gracefully and remains recoverable, reducing disruption in long-running tasks.

Upgrade Guide

Docker

• Update services to v1.11.2 and restart:

  docker compose pull docker compose up -d

Source

• Upgrade to the v1.11.2 tag, rebuild the frontend, and restart services:

  git fetch --tags git checkout v1.11.2

  Install/update dependencies

  npm ci npm run build

  Restart your application processes (example)

  systemctl restart clawith || pm2 restart all

Kubernetes

• Deploy the v1.11.2 image and restart workloads:

  Update image tag in your manifests to v1.11.2, then:

  kubectl apply -f deploy/ kubectl rollout restart deployment/clawith kubectl rollout status deployment/clawith

Notes

• Node runtime compatibility
• Release checkout now enforces a supported Node runtime. Ensure your CI and build environments use a current, supported Node LTS.
• CI and tooling
• Release notes workflow and GPT model updated; test branches are constrained to deployable source to improve pipeline reliability.
• Faster Alpine mirror is used during image builds; no configuration changes are required for standard setups.
• No manual database migrations
• Database migrations run automatically on application startup. No manual steps are required.
