What's new

Breaking

  • OAuth/Max removed. ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is now the only supported auth path. The keychain read, CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN, and the .env write-back fallback are all gone. Every agent turn is now real dollars — see new cost controls below.

New

  • Fast-path triage layer. Simple chat answers via the raw Anthropic SDK with no agent spawn, no tools, no session state. Returns [HANDOFF] when tools are needed, falling through to the full agent. Memory-write phrases (remember, save this, log that, keep in mind, …) always bypass.
  • Default fast-path model: claude-sonnet-4-6. Haiku flunked the [HANDOFF] contract — leaked preamble, occasionally hallucinated tool calls. Sonnet costs ~3x per triage call but is still ~25–100x cheaper than spawning the full agent. Set GHOSTCLAW_FAST_PATH_MODEL=claude-haiku-4-5 to opt back in.
  • Per-turn usage tracking. Every turn (agent or fast-path) writes a row into a new usage_events table.
  • Daily budget cap. GHOSTCLAW_DAILY_BUDGET_USD env var. When today's spend hits the cap, the orchestrator forces fast-path-only mode until UTC midnight and sends one Telegram alert. Manage from Telegram with /budget, /budget set N, /budget off.
  • /model lists current generation: sonnet → claude-sonnet-4-6, opus → claude-opus-4-7, haiku → claude-haiku-4-5. Default Sonnet.

KISS cleanup

  • Container architecture fully removed. Renames sweep: container/agent-runner/ → agent-runner/, container/dashboard.html → public/dashboard.html, src/container-runner.ts → src/agent-spawner.ts. Types ContainerInput/Output → AgentInput/Output. MAX_CONCURRENT_CONTAINERS → MAX_CONCURRENT_AGENTS.
  • WhatsApp removed. Telegram-only.
  • Slash commands extracted to src/channels/telegram-commands.ts. Hard-reset, status report, PID lock, run-agent wrapper each get their own module.
  • Dead code removed: routeOutbound(), CONTAINER_IMAGE/CONTAINER_TIMEOUT, the orphaned x-integration skill, RALPH-PROGRESS.md, fetch_tweets.{js,mjs}.
  • Skill drift fixed in add-discord/add-telegram/add-slack templates.

Migrating from v0.7

  1. Get an API key at console.anthropic.com.
  2. In .env, replace CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN=... with ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-....
  3. Set GHOSTCLAW_DAILY_BUDGET_USD=5 (or /budget set 5 from Telegram) — surprise API bills are no fun.
  4. /update (or pull, build, restart manually).
  5. /budget after a day to sanity-check spend.

TELEGRAM_ONLY=true is now a no-op; can be dropped.

To update: run /update-ghostclaw in your main chat.
