# What shipped.

Every release of Axocoatl. Keep-a-Changelog format. Curated release notes live as blog posts; this is the bullet record. The canonical source is `CHANGELOG.md` in the repo.

v0.1.2 2026-06-11

## Coordination and memory.

### Added

- Coordinator role: an agent with `role: coordinator` decomposes a goal into subtasks, assigns each to a worker by a capability and budget auction, runs them in parallel, and synthesizes the result. Symbolic HTN planning when methods are provided, otherwise LLM decomposition. Resumable from the last checkpointed subtask.
- Agent-editable core memory (the MemGPT model): small blocks the agent curates as it works, rendered into its context every turn. Agent-driven recall (`recall_search`, `recall_timeframe`) and a background sleep-time pass that promotes durable facts up into the core blocks.
- Automatic context compaction: long conversations summarize toward the model window instead of being snipped, so early context survives.
- OpenAI-compatible servers: point the `openai` provider at LM Studio, MLX, or vLLM via `base_url`, with the agent's model sent per request. Stdio MCP servers now receive their env vars.

### Changed

- Tier 3 is now agent-editable core memory; the old shared long-term fact store is retired.
- `overflow_policy` is strictly a spend cap (`abort` default, or `warn`); context compaction is automatic and independent of the budget.

v0.1.1 2026-06-09

## The cockpit.

### Added

- Variants: fan one prompt into N parallel attempts, each a real agent in its own git worktree, and keep the one you like.
- A conversation-forward session cockpit: an N-surface layout (files, activity, browser, terminal, agent graph) that starts as just the conversation. Agent edits land as change cards; a running dev server lands as a preview card.
- Unified conversation UI across Chat and Sessions; persisted session transcripts with Retry and Rewind.
- Git-native sessions: a live Source Control pane (status, diff, commit, discard, branch switch) inside the cockpit.
- Multi-turn tool-calling verified across all six providers.

## The runtime that runs.

### Added

- Stigmergic multi-agent coordination via EventLattice — agents activate themselves off accumulated signals, with no central orchestrator.
- Workflow execution — CLI, HTTP, and IPC paths. Entry agents activate directly; downstream agents cascade via `TaskCompleted` events.
- Per-agent token budgets, four-tier persistent memory with neural Tier 4, and checkpointed agent state.
- Directory sessions with podman-sandboxed bind-mounts, full PTY terminal support, and resumable state.
- MCP integration: bundled server catalog, install flow, permission gate, and a Tools view in the dashboard.
- Provider matrix: Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, Gemini, OpenRouter. Per-agent selection.
- Always-on system service (systemd / launchd) via `axocoatl service install`.
- Interactive `axocoatl onboard` + `axocoatl doctor`.
- Dashboard: Sessions cockpit, Studio lattice canvas, Automations editor, Chat, Files, Skills, MCP, Agents.
- 340+ tests passing across the workspace.
