Fredrin

The Fredrin changelog

Everything we shipped between July 27, 2026 and July 31, 2026 — page 3 of 10.

  1. New

    • Offer Fredrin Cloud as an explicit machine option in web Chat
    • Fix Claude failing to launch in yolo mode on first task (new machine)
    • Show user avatar in /community page
    • Metric trigger editor: describe the condition, confirm what it compiled to
    • Fix slow, jaggedy ticket drag animation between columns
    • Open the PR without gh: REST fallback in `fredrin finish`
    • Fix blurry Cmd+Tab app icon using public/logo.png
    • Fix premature "session has ended" screen when opening ticket right after backlog→running move
    • METRIC trigger takes a freeform prompt, compiled once by AI into a deterministic binding
    • Fix "New Project" flow failing to clone via SSH with passphrase-protected key
    • Calm the failed-checks message on the review card
    • Move sign-in onto the GitHub App and make user tokens expire: refresh-on-read at the token boundary
    • Workers ignore each users own Claude default: stop hardcoding --model, inherit it
    • METRIC edge detector: confirmation count + deadband so a metric hovering on the threshold stops spawning Workers
    • Remove workspace default subscription from Settings > Models
    • Migrate blog storage from file-based to database-driven
    • A firing METRIC check briefs its Worker with the reading, delta and report detail it already fetched
    • Local worktree spawn should accept Fredrin's injected GitHub credential
    • Defer ptyScrollback out of the desktop-jobs payload so a ticket opens on ~35KB, not 2.6MB

    • Fix: new remote agent terminal sessions don't start in YOLO permission mode
    • Automations appear broken

    • jq's install hint still tells brew-less users to run brew
    • reaccuring issue
    • Remove test pages /team and /enterprise

    • Audit database queries and optimize for maximum performance
    • Investigate why Chat feature is missing from the web app
    • Create /team page displaying team information
    • "Active" misses Fredrin's entire ship loop, so power users read as churned
