## Houston 0.4.4

A maintenance release that validates the in-app updater path now that the relaunch fix from 0.4.3 is out in the wild. Also includes a small sidebar polish so you can tell at a glance whether the update applied.

### What's new

- **Sidebar follow-up chip is bigger and lives where it belongs.** The "needs you" badge in the agent sidebar now sits flush right (the same slot the menu used to own), and it's a wider oval so the count is easier to read across the room. The 3-dot menu still appears in the same spot on hover, so renaming and deleting an agent works the way it did.

### Why this release

The 0.4.2 build shipped with a broken in-app updater. The fix landed in 0.4.3, but anyone still on 0.4.2 cannot pick it up over the air. This 0.4.4 release exists to confirm the fixed updater is healthy on 0.4.3 installs and that future updates apply cleanly without manual reinstalls.

### If you are on 0.4.3

Houston should detect 0.4.4, download it, install it, and relaunch into the new version on its own. You will see the sidebar chip change shape, that confirms the auto-update worked end-to-end.

### If you are on 0.4.2 or earlier

Auto-update will not pull you forward. Quit Houston, drag a fresh DMG over `/Applications/Houston.app`, and reopen. After that one manual step you are on the healthy updater path and 0.4.5 onward will apply automatically.

### Before you upgrade

- Quit Houston before installing. macOS does not always replace a running app. If in doubt: `rm -rf /Applications/Houston.app` and drag the new copy in.

### Known limitations

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