first public release (experimental)

• create tentacles as scoped work areas with their own context and todo files
• launch and monitor multiple claude code or codex terminal sessions
• use the canvas and deck views to organize active agent work
• spawn worker terminals from todo-driven workflows
• send messages between agents through octogent channels
• persist transcripts, terminal state, ui state, and worktree metadata
• manage terminal lifecycle with stop, kill, prune, close, and minimize flows
• mark stale terminals after restart so old sessions are visible instead of silently drifting
• cap concurrent terminal sessions to reduce host resource exhaustion risk
• support shared-workspace and git-worktree terminal modes
• expose local api and websocket endpoints for runtime state and terminal streams
• include docs for installation, cli usage, api routes, filesystem layout, and troubleshooting

known limitations:

• npm registry install is not available yet; use a local clone/global install flow for now
• pty subprocess cleanup is improved but not fully solved; descendant process cleanup needs a separate ownership-aware pass
• windows dev startup may still need compatibility work
