v1.9.1 — Talent Market, Per-User Onboarding & Template Automation

What's New

Talent Market & Agent Templates

• Talent Market added to the hiring flow, letting teams browse, compare, and hire curated agents directly from the product UI
• Folder-based template loader for agent templates, making template packaging and rollout more maintainable
• 19 new curated templates across business, engineering, content, and trading scenarios, including:
• backend architect, chief of staff, code reviewer, content creator, devops automator, frontend developer, growth hacker, rapid prototyper, SEO specialist, TikTok strategist, LinkedIn content creator
• macro watcher, market intel aggregator, technical analyst, pre-market briefer, watchlist monitor, risk manager, trading journal coach, tilt-bias coach, COT report analyst, earnings/filings analyst
• Trading-focused built-in skills added for market data and financial calendar workflows
• Post-hire settings now supported, so newly hired agents can be configured immediately after creation

Per-User Onboarding & Default Model Experience

• Per-(user, agent) onboarding introduced, so onboarding runs once per user-agent relationship instead of once per agent globally
• Two-turn onboarding ritual added for newly hired or newly contacted agents: a focused introduction followed by an immediate deliverable
• Onboarding backfill logic prevents historical agent-user pairs from being re-onboarded after upgrade
• Tenant default LLM model support added, including backend APIs and frontend selection flows
• Model switcher UI added and refined to better reflect tenant and agent defaults during chat

Template Automation & MCP Provisioning

• Template-defined default MCP servers can now auto-install when an agent is created
• Template default skills merging improved so agent creation preserves template-defined skills alongside platform defaults
• Template bootstrap metadata added, including capability bullets and bootstrap content for richer cards and onboarding prompts

Chat, Workspace & UX Improvements

• Workspace switcher added to agent chat and detail flows for faster context switching
• Clawith-styled modal and toast system replaces native browser dialogs in key frontend flows
• Agent chat and workspace interactions polished for smoother file and panel operations
• Agent creation flow improved with better structure and clearer template-driven setup
• Company logo settings added to the admin/company experience
• Company region picker added to enterprise settings
• Agent detail, layout, enterprise settings, and admin company pages received usability and visual refinements

Localization & Marketplace Readiness

• Locale-aware greeting behavior added for hired agents
• Chinese translations and template localization expanded across Talent Market and onboarding experiences
• Hardcoded English copy removed from key hire/onboarding paths to improve multilingual consistency

Platform & Integration Enhancements

• WeChat channel support completed in the mainline release path
• Webpage tools enhanced for richer browsing and page interaction workflows
• Smithery/MCP tool discovery and invocation made more resilient with live schema override behavior and improved request headers

Optimizations & Fixes

• Onboarding performance optimization: the greeting turn now skips the full tool list, significantly reducing prompt size on first contact
• Onboarding stability fixes: prevents ritual leakage into later sessions and avoids duplicate/late onboarding triggers
• Model picker fixes: better default syncing, improved dropdown positioning, and clipping fixes
• Channel user identity reuse and outbound routing fixed for more reliable cross-channel delivery
• Agent creation fixes: template skills and auto-installed MCP tools now attach more consistently
• Migration graph fixes: release migrations were stabilized and merged to avoid broken multi-head upgrade paths
• UI polish fixes across chat panels, dialogs, agent cards, and company branding

v1.9.1 — Upgrade Guide

Database migration required. Run alembic upgrade heads before restarting application services.

This release introduces new schema changes in the v1.9.0..main range, including:

• tenants.default_model_id
• agent_user_onboardings
• agent_templates.capability_bullets
• agent_templates.bootstrap_content
• agent_templates.default_mcp_servers
• release-head merge migration cleanup

Docker Deployment (Recommended)

:::bash
git pull origin main

# Run database migrations
docker exec clawith-backend-1 alembic upgrade heads

# Rebuild and restart services
docker compose down && docker compose up -d --build

Source Deployment

:::bash
git pull origin main

# Run database migrations
cd backend && alembic upgrade heads
cd ..

# Rebuild frontend
cd frontend && npm install && npm run build
cd ..

# Restart backend / frontend services

Kubernetes (Helm)

:::bash
helm upgrade clawith helm/clawith/ -f values.yaml
# Run migration job / command: alembic upgrade heads

Notes

• Existing user-agent pairs are automatically backfilled into agent_user_onboardings, so established conversations should not be re-onboarded after upgrade.
• If your deployment provisions agents from templates, review any template metadata that now uses bootstrap_content, capability_bullets, or default_mcp_servers.
• If you rely on tenant-scoped model management, validate the new default model selection in Company / Enterprise settings after migration.
• New template-driven MCP auto-install flows require a valid Smithery/system MCP configuration in environments that use those templates.
