Torch 10.0: Watchfire in your pocket

7 min

Torch pairs a Telegram bot with the daemon so you can supervise every project from your phone — and not just with commands: just type in a paired chat and you're talking to a chat agent, with the replies streaming back. It works with no public endpoint, no tunnel, and no port forward, because the daemon dials out. Around the tentpole: a definition-retrofit mode, batch quick-add, and a burn-down of long-standing friction.

Firestorm 9.4: the tofu and the bell

3 min

Two GUI issues had been sitting open: every Nerd Font icon in the embedded terminals rendered as a missing-glyph box, and the notification bell was a read-only list with a count that only ever went up. 9.4 closes both. The font fix is a small lesson in how Chromium resolves glyphs; the notification fix is a small lesson in never shipping a badge without a way to clear it.

Firestorm 9.3: cleaning up after ourselves

4 min

Every non-Claude agent session materializes a scratch home directory under ~/.watchfire — and until now, nothing ever deleted it. One directory per project × mode × task, forever, surviving even project deletion. 9.3 fixes the leak twice: sessions clean up after themselves, and deleting a project sweeps whatever its sessions left behind. The interesting part is deciding what not to delete.

Firestorm 9.2: charts that state their numbers

5 min

9.2 is a legibility release for the dashboard. The list view hid task counts exactly when an agent was working, a leaderboard cap silently ate the 'shipped' chip for any project ranked sixth or lower, and both Fleet insights charts rendered shape without a single number on them. Here's what was wrong, why each bug is a little embarrassing in an instructive way, and what changed.

Firestorm 9.0: Watchfire becomes a factory agents can drive

7 min

For nine majors Watchfire drove coding agents. Firestorm inverts that: watchfire mcp serve exposes the whole orchestrator to any MCP-capable client as an 18-tool factory, so an outer agent plans and reviews while Watchfire manufactures the code in sandboxed, worktree-isolated runs. It is the fourth thin client, it holds no orchestration logic of its own, and it is local-only by construction.

Inferno 8.0: one window per project

6 min

Inferno is the first feature-forward major since Beacon, and it's built around a single idea — supervising many projects at once. The Electron GUI goes multi-window, the Project View flips to chat-primary, wildfire becomes a GUI control, the dashboard becomes mission control, and a new analytics layer measures what the agents actually shipped, not just how many tasks closed.

Forge 7.3: the 300 GB log, and a quieter GUI

6 min

The 7.2 → 7.3 arc is a tidy little story about operability. We made the daemon log durable, the durable log grew to 300 GB, and 7.3 caps it. Along the way we closed two wildfire YAML bugs that were silently eating tasks, and gave the GUI a focus-chat mode. Here's what shipped.
