title: "v0.26.0 — Session Monitoring & Live Statusline"
date: 2026-03-25
version: v0.26.0
---

## New features

**SOTA session monitoring hardening** — closed 5 gaps in session lifecycle tracking. Sessions are now identified by process ID instead of heuristics, eliminating misattribution when multiple Claude Code instances run in the same project.

**Live statusline via SSE** — Claude Code's statusline updates (current file, tool use, thinking state) now broadcast to the Live Monitor in real-time via Server-Sent Events. The chat panel receives this context too, so you can see what the agent is doing without switching views.

**PostHog telemetry integration** — opt-in analytics with a polished consent UX. The API key is baked into release builds so telemetry works out of the box for users who opt in — no configuration required.

## Improvements

**Batch process scanning** — process tree classification now batches `ps` calls instead of spawning one per session, reducing CPU overhead on machines with many concurrent sessions.

**PID-based session identity** — sessions use process IDs as their primary identity, replacing the previous heuristic approach that could confuse sessions sharing a working directory.

## Getting started
