* feat(settings): IPC bridge for global update settings (get/set) Expose readUpdateSettings/writeUpdateSettings to the renderer via updateSettings:get/set so the Global Settings page can read and persist the auto-update channel choice. Refs #2207. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(cli): show ao start download + install progress The fetch path streamed a hundreds-of-MB asset and ran a silent install with zero output, so a slow download looked like a hang. Print a start line (asset, ~size, repo), stream a TTY-aware progress reader (live \r percentage on a terminal, start+done lines off a TTY), and announce the otherwise-silent unpack/install step. stderr only, so --json stdout stays clean; no new dependency. Closes #2234. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(settings): Updates (channel) + Migration sections in Global Settings - UpdatesSection: pick Stable vs Nightly auto-update channel, persisted to ~/.ao/update-settings.json via the new IPC bridge. Closes #2207. - MigrationSection: drop-in card showing migration status + last report/error and a Run/Re-run button hitting the idempotent POST /api/v1/import; works even after Don't Migrate. Closes #2205. - Wire both into the (previously blank) GlobalSettingsForm; cover both with tests. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: format with prettier [skip ci] * fix(browser): re-measure preview bounds after layout transitions The native WebContentsView preview is positioned from a renderer-measured rect, re-measured on ResizeObserver + window resize/scroll. But a ResizeObserver fires on size changes only, so a position-only layout shift (entering/leaving pop-out moves the slot to another panel; opening the inspector, which ao preview does, reflows its x) left the overlay at stale bounds, visibly spilling over the sidebar/terminal until an unrelated resize fixed it. Drive a settle re-measure on mount and on active/pop-out transitions (immediate frame + once the ~240ms panel transition settles) so the final geometry always wins. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(backend): gofmt + goimports pre-existing files (fix red CI) config.go, project_test.go, importer_test.go and spawn_windows.go were committed unformatted earlier and fail go.yml's gofmt check and golangci's goimports formatter on main. Apply `golangci-lint fmt`; formatting only, no logic change. Unblocks this PR's lint/build-test jobs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(settings): manual Check for updates + Update button Auto-update only checked at launch, so users with auto-updates off (or who just want it now) had no way to update from the app. Add an on-demand flow: checkForUpdatesNow/downloadUpdateNow/quitAndInstallUpdate in auto-updater (works regardless of the opt-in; not-packaged dev surfaces 'unsupported'), forwarded to the renderer as a live UpdateStatus over updates:status. The Updates section gains a Check for updates button and an Update button that downloads then installs (Restart & install), with checking/available/ downloading%/downloaded/error status. Refs #2207. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: format with prettier [skip ci] * fix(sidebar): always offer Global settings in the footer menu The footer Settings menu showed either Project settings (with a project selected) or Global settings (with none), so global settings was unreachable while inside a project. Always list Global settings; add Project settings above it when a project is active. Refs #2205. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(settings): show current app version in Updates section Surface app.getVersion() as a 'Current version vX.Y.Z' line above the update controls so users can see what they're running.

| Isolated Workspaces | Each session spawns into its own git worktree with dedicated runtime |
| Platform-Native Runtimes | tmux on Darwin/Linux, conpty on Windows for optimal performance |
| Live PR Observation | Provider-neutral SCM observer with automatic feedback routing |
| Automatic Feedback Routing | CI failures, review comments, and merge conflicts routed to the owning agent |
| Durable Facts Storage | SQLite persists immutable facts with display status derived at read time |
| CDC Broadcasting | DB triggers append changes to change_log, broadcasted via SSE |
| Desktop Experience | Native Electron app with React UI and live terminal streaming |
| Loopback-Only Daemon | HTTP control over 127.0.0.1 with no auth, CORS, or TLS by design |
Supported Agents
Works with 23+ CLI-based coding agents including Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Aider, Amp, Goose, GitHub Copilot, Grok, Qwen Code, Kimi Code, Crush, Cline, Droid, Devin, Auggie, Continue, Kiro, and Kilo Code.
If it runs in a terminal, it runs on Agent Orchestrator.
Quick Start
Prerequisites
| Requirement | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Go | 1.25+ | Latest |
| Node.js | 20+ | Latest LTS |
| Git | Any | Latest |
| pnpm | Any | Latest |
Optional:

Direct Download: Latest Release
Telemetry
Agent Orchestrator collects minimal telemetry for reliability and product understanding. Data is stored locally by default; remote transmission is opt-in via environment variables. Read the full telemetry policy.
Architecture
Agent Orchestrator is a long-running Go daemon built around inbound/outbound port contracts with swappable adapters.
Core mental model: OBSERVE external facts → UPDATE durable facts → DERIVE display status / ACT
Key components:
- Frontend - Electron + React UI with TanStack Router/Query and shadcn/ui
- Backend Daemon - Go-based HTTP server with controllers, services, and adapters
- Runtime - Platform-specific:
tmuxon Darwin/Linux,conptyon Windows - Storage - SQLite with change-data-capture (CDC) for real-time updates
- Adapters - 23+ agent adapters, git worktree workspace, GitHub SCM integration
For detailed architecture diagrams, data flows, and load-bearing rules, see architecture.md.
