Changelog

Unreleased

v0.16.22026-08-27

Fixed

• Opening a missing file reported success: OpenFile handed the path straight to the platform opener, and those openers detach and report a bad path through their own UI rather than through an exit status, so a file that did not exist looked identical to a successful open. It now validates the path before launching, matching the check OpenDir and OpenURL already performed.
• A configured shell that is not installed was silently replaced: an unknown default_shell fell back to the platform default without any message, so the setting appeared to have applied while a different shell actually launched. The substitution is now reported in the status line, consistent with the existing warning for a shell whose path cannot be resolved.
• Batch launch status messages never appeared: the multi-select limit notice and the resume-interrupted notice were both cleared on the way out of the batch launch, so neither could ever reach the status bar. The stale selection status is now cleared on entry instead, leaving later messages intact.

Changed

• Dependencies: sqlite 1.57.0, bubbletea 2.0.9, and bubbles 2.2.1, plus astro 7.2.4 and marked 18.0.10 for the website.
• npm install policy: website installs now enforce a minimum release age, so a freshly published package is not adopted immediately, and esbuild's install script is denied because its platform binary already arrives as an optional dependency and the script is not needed to build.

v0.16.12026-08-24

Fixed

• Grouped views collapsing to a single group — grouped queries ordered rows by pivot label before applying max_sessions, so the entire row budget was spent on whichever label sorted first and every other group disappeared. The cap now keeps the sessions the active sort puts first, and groups are ordered by label afterwards. This also restores the all time range, which appeared to stop partway through history for the same reason.
• Excluded words not hiding sessions — the filter matched raw stored text while the list displays summaries with whitespace collapsed, so a phrase typed exactly as shown (Task Invoke against a stored ## Task\n\nInvoke…) never matched. Matching now normalizes both sides, folds case for accented and non-Latin text, and covers checkpoint content in addition to summaries and turns.
• Group collapse state lost on refresh — an absent expand entry meant both "never shown" and "user collapsed", so the background refresh re-expanded anything collapsed and made the collapse-all key appear to toggle at random. Groups now track whether they have already been given their default state. This also fixes default_collapsed, which was reverted by the first refresh.

v0.16.02026-08-18

Added

CLI

• dispatch resume — interactively select and resume folder-scoped sessions from a searchable table with full session metadata, incremental result batches, and shared launch behavior. (#392)

Changed

• Session-list and grouped-query performance — reduce query scans and rendering allocations, improving grouping, rendering, and folder toggling. (#395)
• Toolchain and dependencies — require Go 1.26.6 and refresh Go and website dependencies.

Fixed

• Search completeness and filtering — search all user-visible session content fields, preserve uncapped free-text results, and restore excluded-word filtering.
• Search/resume safety and routing — match exact folders and native descendants, normalize Windows paths, sanitize CSV and terminal output, and prevent command names in multi-word queries from hijacking Dispatch.
• Background refresh UI — hide the loading indicator during automatic session reloads.

v0.15.02026-08-12

Added

TUI

• Related sessions in the preview pane — the preview now lists sessions related to the selected one, ranked by shared refs, then repository and branch, then working directory. Press the shown number key to jump straight to a related session. (#183)
• Project quick-start rows — repositories discovered on disk that have no recorded sessions now appear in the list, so you can start a session in a project directly from Dispatch instead of leaving to run dispatch new. (#178)
• Named launch sets — save a group of sessions under a name and relaunch the whole set at once. Missing members are reported rather than silently skipped. (#179)
• Search match highlighting in the preview pane — matches for the active search are highlighted inline in the preview, so you can see why a session matched. (#181)
• Help rendered from effective keybindings — the help overlay is now generated from your configured keybindings instead of a hardcoded list, so remapped keys show their real values. (#260)
• Live activity watcher, dispatch new, and resume rename — sessions update live as activity is pushed, plus a new command and a renamed resume flow. (#359)

CLI

• dispatch path — print only a session's working directory so you can cd "$(dispatch path <id>)". Resolves the session by full ID, alias, short ID prefix, --last, or --current the same way dispatch open does. Errors if the session has no recorded directory or the directory no longer exists.
• dispatch alias: set, reassign, clear (--clear), or remove (--remove) a session alias from the command line, completing the CLI parity that tag and notes already have. Supports --json.
• dispatch watch --exec <cmd>: run a command on each session attention transition while streaming. Session context is passed through DISPATCH_SESSION_ID, DISPATCH_SESSION_STATE, DISPATCH_SESSION_PREV_STATE, DISPATCH_SESSION_REPO, DISPATCH_SESSION_BRANCH, DISPATCH_SESSION_FOLDER, and DISPATCH_SESSION_SUMMARY environment variables. Hook output goes to stderr and a failing hook never stops the watch loop.
• dispatch config validate and dispatch config schema — check a config file against the JSON Schema and print the schema itself. (#259)
• dispatch config export / import — move your configuration between machines. (#363)
• dispatch aliases list output — print every session alias in a readable list. (#382)
• dispatch tags --csv and --markdown — machine- and doc-friendly tag output. (#374, #380)
• dispatch views --csv — CSV output for named views. (#381)
• dispatch stats folder breakdown — sessions grouped by working directory alongside the existing repository and branch breakdowns. (#375)
• dispatch doctor workspace reporting — doctor now flags sessions whose recorded workspace no longer exists. (#362)

Fixed

• Session state and launch reliability — reject oversized continuation plans, preserve legacy configuration compatibility, keep scoped watch results scoped on metadata failures, propagate watcher cancellation, and surface companion-updater failures.
• Storage safety and performance — use read/write-only SQLite maintenance, report busy WAL checkpoints, bound Chronicle reindex memory, remove a redundant search query, move event reads off the TUI update loop, and reuse known repository metadata.
• Installer and release trust — verify future release artifacts with Sigstore identity, use a pinned v0.14.0 checksum trust anchor during migration, publish immutable installer assets, constrain releases to main, and make retry behavior safe.
• Website and dependency safety — sanitize rendered changelog HTML and enforce strict npm peer dependency resolution.
• Session repository detection — Dispatch now prefers the live git origin of a session's working directory over the repository recorded at session creation, so renamed or re-pointed remotes display correctly. (#350)
• Keybinding config mirror drift — new_session and focus_window were present in the key map but missing from the config schema and help groups, so they could not be remapped and were absent from help.
• Silent ID truncation in session lookups — looking up sessions or session refs by ID silently dropped everything past the first 500 IDs. Both lookups now run in batches, so large launch sets and related-session ranking are correct at any size.
• Unquoted {cwd} in the new-session command — the working directory is now shell-quoted before substitution, so directories containing shell metacharacters can no longer inject commands.

Changed

• Screenshot workflow — one command now regenerates screenshots across platforms. (#261)
• Documentation screenshots — regenerated all 240 UI captures across five themes and synchronized installation, CLI, configuration, sorting, and quality-pipeline documentation with the current code.
• Automation hardening — pin setup tools, fail CI when required tools cannot install, add Linux ARM64 cross-compilation, and improve Windows/macOS/Linux portability.

Removed

• Runtime Copilot SDK features: removed semantic AI session search and SDK completion analysis. Session search now uses local SQLite FTS5 and LIKE exclusively, while continuation plans use deterministic plan.md parsing.
• Recent/frecency sort: removed the confusing launch-frequency sort and its persisted launch statistics. Existing frecency defaults and named views now fall back to updated.

v0.14.02026-07-18

This release turns Dispatch from a TUI-only tool into a scriptable CLI: most session operations are now available as non-interactive commands with JSON output, and the TUI gains a git status overlay plus several navigation and organization features.

Added

CLI commands

• dispatch open — resume a session by ID, alias, or short ID prefix. Supports --last (most recent), --print (print the resume command without launching), --stdin (batch resume piped IDs), --mode (inplace, tab, window, pane), scoped resume (--repo, --branch, --folder, --current to auto-detect from the working directory), and per-launch --agent, --model, and --yolo overrides
• dispatch new — start a fresh session from the CLI in the current or a given directory, with the same per-launch overrides as open
• dispatch stats — session totals and breakdowns by repository, branch, and host type, with --json, --csv, --calendar (activity heatmap), --top, and date/scope filters
• dispatch search — non-interactive session search with --json, --table, and --ids / --format ids output, --deep search, and repo/branch/date/limit filters
• dispatch export — save a session as Markdown, JSON, or HTML, with --redact (mask secrets), --stdout, and batch export by --repo, --branch, or --query
• dispatch config — list, get, set, unset (reset to default), edit (open in your editor), and path
• dispatch tags — list every tag in use with per-tag session counts
• dispatch tag <id> — add, remove, or set tags on a session (--add, --remove, --set, --json)
• dispatch notes — get, set, or clear a session's local notes
• dispatch views — list named views and switch the active view
• dispatch aliases — list every session alias
• dispatch compare — compare two sessions side by side (metadata, files, refs), with --json
• dispatch info <id> — print a concise summary of one session
• dispatch watch — monitor attention state across sessions; stream transitions or take a one-shot --once snapshot, with --json and --interval
• dispatch prune — report and remove stale config entries for sessions that no longer exist (--apply, --json)
• dispatch man — generate a roff man page
• dispatch completion — bash, zsh, fish, and PowerShell scripts, with dynamic completion of session aliases and config keys
• dispatch doctor --json — machine-readable diagnostics; doctor also reports the detected Copilot CLI version and stored session count

TUI

• Git status overlay (i) — shows the git status of the folder a session is mapped to: current branch and upstream, push/pull stats (commits ahead to push, behind to pull), working-tree counts (staged, modified, untracked, deleted, conflicts), and a scrollable changed-file list. The same push/pull stats appear inline on each session row and in the preview pane
• Open linked reference (b) — open a session's linked pull request, issue, or commit on github.com
• Frecency sort — rank sessions by a blend of launch frequency and recency
• Session tags (#) — attach comma-separated tags and filter with the tag: search token
• Session aliases (A) — give a session a short alias and resume it with dispatch open <alias>
• Fullscreen preview zoom (z) — view the preview pane fullscreen
• Configurable list columns — choose which optional columns (repo, folder, turns, host) appear in the session list
• Jump navigation — g / Home jump to top, G / End jump to bottom
• Date search tokens — after: and before: narrow the list by session activity date
• Waiting notifications — optional desktop notification when a session enters the waiting state
• Configurable keybindings — remap any key via config.json
• Split-pane launch — open sessions in a tmux split when running inside tmux
• Open working directory (O) — open the selected session's working directory in the system file manager (Explorer, Finder, or the Linux file manager)
• Bulk hide and favorite — with sessions marked via Space, h and * apply to the whole selection instead of just the cursor session
• Search query argument — pass a search string on the command line (dispatch auth or dispatch fix auth bug) to launch the TUI with the search box pre-filled and the list already filtered

Configuration

• DISPATCH_CONFIG — environment variable to override the config file path
• Configurable auto-refresh — set auto_refresh_seconds (also in the settings panel) to tune the session-list poll interval, or set it to 0 to turn polling off and refresh only with r or reindex

Changed

• Upgraded Go and website dependencies to latest

Fixed

• Hardened the swarm CLI commands: open scoped resume now picks the most recently active match, open --current errors instead of resuming an unrelated session when nothing can be detected, watch counts interrupted sessions separately, stats --csv neutralizes spreadsheet formula injection, prune refuses to apply against an empty store, and tag resolves ID prefixes

v0.13.02026-06-30

Added

• Markdown export (X) — export selected sessions as structured Markdown documents to ~/.config/dispatch/exports/
• Git workspace badges — colored status indicators (dirty, untracked, ahead, behind, missing) next to each session based on its working directory
• Search tokens — structured filtering in the search bar with repo:, branch:, folder:, host:, status:, has:plan, is:favorite, is:hidden

• Activity timeline (T) — chronological view of all session events (turns, checkpoints, files, refs) in the preview pane
• Compare sessions (D) — side-by-side comparison of two selected sessions (metadata, files, refs with diff highlighting)
• Command palette (:) — filterable overlay listing all available commands with keyboard shortcuts
• "Git changes" filter in the attention picker

Fixed

• Security: replaced cmd /c start with explorer.exe for file opening on Windows to prevent command injection
• Reduced false positives in secret redaction (20-char minimum for Bearer, segment boundaries for .env keywords)

Changed

• Work status scan no longer runs on startup — press R to scan explicitly
• Conversation sort click target enlarged — clicking anywhere on the "Conversation" header zone (separator, label, or gap) toggles sort order
• conversation_newest_first config now defaults to true; explicit false preserved when saved

Breaking — Keybinding Overhaul

• F removed: "Filter favorites" absorbed into ! status picker as "Favorites only" row
• M removed: "Filter plans" absorbed into ! status picker as "Has plan" row
• R → N: "Resume interrupted" moved to N (uppercase; n = next waiting — related concepts)
