## Houston 0.4.2

A polish release on top of 0.4.1. Cleaner chats, agents that actually use what they've learned, and a Legal agent rewritten so a non-technical founder reads the picker and instantly knows what every Skill does.

### What's new

- **Cleaner chat.** Long stretches of process detail (file reads, tool calls) now collapse into a single tidy block by default. Tap to expand when you want the full trace, ignore otherwise. The chat reads like a conversation again.
- **Agents remember what they learned.** Every agent now picks up its `LEARNINGS.md` automatically on every turn, so corrections stick across sessions instead of being forgotten the next time you open the app.
- **Better chat summary.** The "what changed this turn" summary now correctly attributes files generated by your agent and stops mislabeling external edits. Generated files surface in the summary instead of getting lost.
- **Houston speaks human, by default.** Every bundled agent now follows strict rules for talking to you: no file paths, no JSON, no command-line jargon, no narrating its own steps. Plain sentences, only what you need to act. If your agent ever slips into technical talk, that's now a bug we can fix.
- **Legal agent, fully rewritten (v0.2.1).** All 40 Legal Skills renamed and rewritten in founder voice. The picker now reads "Is this name free?", "Answer a customer data request", "Calculate my Delaware franchise tax", instead of cryptic slugs. Form labels match. The actual legal advice is unchanged, only the wrapping.
- **Store updates clean up after themselves.** When a bundled agent ships an update that renames Skills, your existing copy migrates to the new names automatically instead of accumulating duplicate old + new entries in your picker.
- **Skill selection sticks.** When you pick a Skill, it stays selected in the composer with a clear chip showing your choice, instead of getting dismissed on the next render.

### Before you upgrade

- Quit Houston before installing. macOS doesn't always replace a running app. If in doubt: `rm -rf /Applications/Houston.app` and drag the new copy in.
- Existing Legal agents installed from the Store will auto-migrate to v0.2.1 names on first launch. Nothing for you to do.

### Known limitations

- Windows support is still in progress (engine compiles for Windows, signing + CI are next).
- Mobile companion is still beta. Expect occasional reconnects. Keep your Mac awake while using it.
