## Houston 0.4.16

Archive missions you have finished, manage your connected apps without leaving Houston, and keep an eye on how full each conversation is getting, plus a round of chat and routine reliability fixes.

### Added

- **Archive missions.** Select one or more missions on the board and move them to the new Archived tab, so the board only shows what you are actively working on. Archived missions stay available and can be brought back anytime.
- **Manage connected apps in-app.** Reconnect or disconnect a connected app, like Gmail or Slack, right from Houston, without going elsewhere to fix a broken connection.
- **Conversation length indicator.** The chat composer now shows how full the current conversation is getting, so you know when it is a good time to start a fresh chat for the best results.

### Fixed

- **Switching conversations is reliable.** Messages no longer duplicate or linger from the previous chat when you move between conversations, including conversations started by a routine.
- **Two routines at the same time both run.** If you schedule two routines for the same moment, both now run instead of only one.
- **The model picker shows live status.** Sign-in status updates the instant a provider connects or disconnects, so the picker always reflects what is actually connected.
- **Claude Opus 4.8 on its highest effort setting.** Fixed an issue that could stop Opus 4.8 from running at its extra-high effort level.
- **Recover from a stuck chat.** If a chat got stuck mid-activity, Houston now repairs it on its own instead of staying frozen.

### 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 x64:** auto-update from 0.4.7 or later pulls you forward automatically. The MSI is still not OS-code-signed (SignPath integration still pending).
- **Windows ARM64:** there is no auto-update path from an emulated x64 install. Download the ARM64 MSI manually, uninstall the x64 build first, then install the ARM64 one.
