v0.8.3 — Session Self-Management, Compact Mode & Automation Reliability

Features

• Session self-management tools — Agents can now set their own labels, status, and query other sessions via set_session_labels, set_session_status, get_session_info, and list_sessions. Enables self-closing automation workflows where an agent completes work and signals done.
• Compact mode UI — Added compact mode toolbar controls for permission mode, attachments, sources, and working directory selection with drawer-based selectors, plus compact chat and session info layouts.

Improvements

• Legacy provider cleanup — Removed deprecated provider types and improved error handling across connection setup.
• Docker build performance — Replaced blanket chmod -R with targeted find commands, significantly speeding up Docker image builds.
• Docker multi-arch CI — Release and promote workflows now build multi-architecture Docker images.

Bug Fixes

• fs.watch reverting metadata on idle sessions — Fixed a race condition where filesystem watchers would revert programmatic metadata writes (labels, status) on idle sessions.
• Stale server lock file — Handle stale .server.lock files on Docker container restarts so the server starts cleanly. (Partially addresses [#493])
• Automations not firing on headless servers — Eagerly initialize the automation system at boot instead of lazily, so scheduled and event-driven automations work on first run. (Partially addresses [#491])
• setSessionStatus silent failures — Properly await the async setSessionStatus call to surface errors instead of swallowing them silently.
• Session tools targeting other sessions — set_session_labels and set_session_status can now correctly target sessions other than the caller.
• Session tool validation — Label IDs and status IDs are now validated before applying, preventing cryptic errors from invalid values.
• Session tool display names — Session management tools now show human-readable names in the TurnCard UI.
• Model refresh on connection setup — Await the model list refresh after configuring a new connection, preventing stale model lists.
• Co-author preference ignored — Respect the includeCoAuthoredBy: false user setting for git commit trailers. (Fixes [#500])
• Local file URL routing — Fixed markdown routing for file:// URLs so local file links render correctly. (Partially addresses [#416])
• Toast text truncation — Allow toast notification descriptions to wrap up to 2 lines instead of cutting off.
• Docker Compose image tag — Updated the default server image to v0.8.2 in Docker Compose config.
