changelog
Deck View v0.17 (99 releases, June to August)
## Sessions outlive the window
The persistence daemon now ships inside the app, so closing Deck View, updating it, or reopening it after a crash reattaches every tile to the session it had, scrollback included. It had only ever worked on one Mac in the world; now it works on yours. Tiles adopt a live session for their project instead of spawning a second one, popped-out sheets survive a reload of the main window, and a crashed daemon no longer disables persistence until the next reboot.
## Pocket Deck
The companion iPhone app. Pair by scanning a code shown on your own Mac; there is no account. Each phone gets its own key, traffic is encrypted end to end, and the relay in between cannot read it. See every session and its state, open one, read it, type into it, answer a prompt, attach an image, star favourites, search by name or path. The terminal fits itself to the phone, tmux-style, and pinch-to-zoom never shrinks the type past readable. A push arrives when a session needs you. Remote access is off by default and visibly on when it is on.
## Workshop
The editor and the agent in one tile. This series took it from a file viewer to a working editor: a real file explorer, tabs, multi-format preview, project-wide search, git awareness, inline Cursor-style diffs for the agent's edits, select-and-Ask-AI, Ask AI to fix, and language servers for TypeScript, Rust and Python with the LSP power pack. Editor theming follows the skin.
## Look and feel
Skins: Midnight, Glass (native macOS vibrancy), Blueprint, Topo and more, with full terminal theming. Tiles and sheet tabs signal activity: green is working, hollow blue is finished and unread, amber needs you. The attention marker is a dot. Narrow tiles shrink the font so the agent wraps wider. The tab bar wraps to several rows.
## The browser drawer
A real browser inside the workspace that your agents can read and drive, one per owner, with a Connect button so nobody has to remember the incantation.
## Multi-screen
Pop a sheet out to its own window on another display, and rebuild the view when you bring it back.
## Auto Yes and Auto Task
Auto Yes moved into the app's core, where it watches the real screen: it now catches wrapped questions, out-of-project file prompts, subagent and statement dialogs, and no longer turns itself off when you switch sheets. Idle detection is server-side, and Auto Task dispatches from the same signal Fleet Control uses. The command queue lives in the app, not the window.
## Reliability
- The white screen on waking a laptop recovers itself, and a dead renderer can no longer make the window invisible.
- Memory: inactive sheets unmount, and three leaks on unmount are closed.
- The window can no longer strand itself on a display that has gone.
- Terminals refit on maximise; scroll-up works after a remount; the duplicate-project guard covers every tile kind.
- Four verified bugs from an external code audit, and every dependency advisory cleared.
## For agents
A sheet registry lets the API see the whole workspace, including sheets nobody is looking at, and API commands can no longer land on the wrong terminal.
