## Houston 0.4.9

A polish pass on the first-run tutorial. The "Plan my next working day" mission now runs noticeably faster, works for Microsoft accounts, and finishes on a full-bleed report screen instead of an easy-to-miss card in the chat split. No engine changes, no breaking changes. Drop-in on top of 0.4.8.

### What's new

- **Provider choice on the tutorial mission.** The agent now asks "Google or Microsoft?" and binds Gmail + Calendar or Outlook + Outlook Calendar accordingly at runtime. Microsoft 365 users are no longer pushed through a Google-only flow.
- **Tutorial mission is faster.** Instead of dispatching two subagents and waiting on each, the agent reads your calendar and your 20 most recent emails inline as parallel tool calls in the same turn. Reply drafts are created the same way: three drafts, one turn, three parallel tool calls. End-to-end the AHA reaches "drafts ready in your inbox" in roughly half the time of 0.4.8.
- **No more Sheets step + no follow-up email back to you.** The 4-tab Google Sheet and the post-mission email are gone. The agent now produces a single structured chat reply with bold "Don't miss / Your day / Worth replying / Your commitments" sections, in your language, and leaves the actual reply drafts sitting in your inbox where you'd reply from anyway.
- **Full-bleed success screen.** The agent's final report renders on its own screen with a sticky-footer "Enter Houston" CTA, instead of a card inside the chat split. Much harder to miss the next-step button.

### Before you upgrade

- **Mac:** quit Houston before installing. macOS does not always replace a running app cleanly. If in doubt, remove `/Applications/Houston.app` and drag the new copy in.
- **Windows:** auto-update from 0.4.7 or 0.4.8 should pull you forward automatically. The MSI is still not OS-code-signed (SignPath is still pending). One SmartScreen "Run anyway" prompt on first install only.

### If you are on 0.4.5 or later

Houston should detect 0.4.9, download it, install it, and relaunch into the new version on its own.

### If you are on 0.4.2 or earlier (Mac)

Auto-update will not pull you forward from those builds. Quit Houston, drag a fresh DMG over `/Applications/Houston.app`, and reopen. After that one manual step you are back on the healthy updater path and future versions apply automatically.

### Known limitations

- **Windows ARM64 not yet shipped.** v0.4.9 is x64-only on Windows.
- **Windows MSI not yet OS-code-signed.** SignPath integration still pending. One SmartScreen "Run anyway" click on first install only.
- **"Continue with Microsoft" sign-in for Houston itself remains hidden** while we reconcile the Supabase Azure provider with the production callback URL. Note: this is the Houston app login, separate from the Microsoft 365 + Outlook tutorial path that this release adds. Google sign-in is unaffected.
- **Mobile companion is still beta.** Expect occasional reconnect hiccups. Keep your Mac awake while using it.
