Highlights

Antigravity is a full agent. Google's agy CLI could already be launched; it now carries nearly the whole harness — context links to other agent nodes, canvas control so it can open and arrange nodes itself, its own model catalogue read from agy models with switching, permission modes, the context meter, the ⌘M transcript view, cross-agent handoff and Open recent. Every leg was measured against real agy 1.2.7 / 1.3.5 sessions and their transcripts, and the context meter takes the window from the session's own settings rather than guessing one. /loop, /schedule, /cron and Branch stay Claude-only.

A whiteboard is a node. New view ▸ New whiteboard (also the sidebar +, the Dock and ⌘K) puts an Excalidraw board on the canvas: double-click to draw in a live editor over the node, a picture of the board at rest, Present and Copy as image in the header. The drawing lives in a side file beside the project (.nodeterm/whiteboards/). The save path is the part worth knowing: a board open in two places refuses the stale write and offers Keep mine instead of silently replacing the other copy, finishing waits for a save that actually succeeded rather than throwing the last strokes away, quitting flushes what the 1.5 s autosave had not written yet, and a hosted Viewer or Commenter opens the board read-only. Not yet run by hand on Windows, Linux, or in a browser tab.

macOS Aerial video wallpapers. Settings → Appearance → Desktop wallpaper gains an Aerials group: one Shuffle tile per Apple category plus a tile per clip you have downloaded, playing behind the canvas and the board with Liquid Glass on top. It reads macOS's own aerial files — nothing is bundled, downloaded or streamed — and the video pauses whenever the window is unfocused or hidden, because Apple's clips are 4K at 240 fps and cost about 70% of a core while they move. Off by default; Reduce Motion shows a still frame.

A live link can be read back. A viewer could not scroll at all, and that was structural: tmux paints the visible screen, and Claude's fullscreen TUI leaves no tmux history to scroll. The viewer page can now ask for the shared agent's conversation — but only the part written after the link was created, with the cutoff enforced on the host, not the page. Prompts, assistant text, tool names with a short argument and plan or question bodies travel; tool results and thinking never do. One read per viewer at a time, and a revoke made elsewhere now reaches a full link within a minute instead of five.

An agent can rebuild an exact layout. Canvas control gains resize, place, arrange --gap and geometry in list, so eight sessions in two tight columns on a vertical monitor is a CLI call that survives every session being replaced, instead of a drag. Sizes are clamped to each node kind's own minimum and the reply says when it clamped; a group frame is refused, because a frame sizes itself to what it holds.

A security audit round — five changes, and one of them had teeth. The relay handshake accepted low-order X25519 keys, where the shared key is a public constant: a client with no secret completed the handshake, both people saw the same short code, and a swapped host key in an offer, join code or QR could read and inject every byte. Those keys are refused everywhere one can enter now. Separately, a scoped Team Access guest could reach terminals outside its projects because tmux resolves a bare target by prefix on a miss — every node id that becomes a tmux target is an exact =name target now, and a node a guest introduces stays pending until its own spawn. The Server Edition's sign-in lockout could be walked past by holding request bodies back; the loopback hook server refuses browser requests before it looks at the bearer; the native SSH transport pins the host key type it recorded, so a MITM holding only one key type is refused rather than quietly trusted; and a live-link Control lock now lifts itself on a backoff, with the unlock sealed to a per-connection key so a password cannot be read back out of recorded relay traffic.

Fixes you will meet. Windows terminals run on node-pty's bundled ConPTY, so fullscreen TUIs scroll properly. Removing a Claude account moves its running sessions to the system account instead of leaving them logged out mid-session. Local dictation runs on Metal in the packaged macOS app and ships an AVX2 build of whisper.cpp on Linux x64. Liquid Glass stays readable at every slider position, and the Dock's add menu stays inside short windows. A relay or team-tab terminal never starts on the wrong machine, and an agent opened from an SSH project's history or a transfer runs on the host. Sticky notes, browsers, editors, simulators and the rest get their own default node sizes, a folder project's canvas can live in app data instead of inside the repo, a session's unread dot clears when its card opens on the global board, and the Settings debug log panel — which had never rendered at all — is mounted.
