Solid-collaboration foundation: agents invoke STRUCTURED tools instead of
shelling out to the CLI — so a tool can't be narrated away, hallucinated as
"doesn't exist", or mistyped. Confirmed working for Claude / Codex / Kimi
(all speak MCP).
- src/mcp/server.ts: `agenthub mcp` starts a stdio MCP server exposing 16
tools (work, task_list/show/create/assign/claim/review/reopen/done,
memory_add/search, handoff_read/create, decision_create, hello, status).
Thin layer over the SAME core: proxies through the REST API (remoteClient)
when a hub is configured — so board, SSE, status auto-refresh and CLI keep
working unchanged — else local services. agenthub_work blocks on SSE until
a task addressed to the agent is claimable, then returns it + its handoff.
- `agenthub mcp` command; excluded from the update-notify (stdio purity).
- Verified: initialize + tools/list (16) + tools/call (status, task_list)
proxy to the live hub.
Does NOT change the dormant-agent reality (agents still loop agenthub_work);
it makes every interaction reliable. Bump 0.6.1 -> 0.7.0.

The old auto path checked `HEAD..origin/branch` right after kicking off a
background fetch, so it read a stale origin ref and only fired on the SECOND
invocation (and never if the agent sat in one long-running `work`).
Now: when AGENTHUB_AUTO_UPDATE is set, a throttled tick (≤1h) spawns
`agenthub update` directly in the background. update does its OWN fresh fetch
+ reset + build and no-ops when current — so it self-heals on the FIRST
invocation, no stale-ref lag. Notify-only path (no flag) unchanged.
Removed the now-unused cooldown const. 122/122 green. Bump 0.6.0 -> 0.6.1.

Closes the addressing gap that left a waiting `agenthub work` blocked: the
remaining Win tasks were titled "Win L2: …" / unassigned, so they matched
no agent and the daemon waited forever.
`agenthub task assign <id> --agent <name>` sets assignedTo WITHOUT claiming
(status stays open) and fires task/updated — so an agent's blocked `work`
re-checks, matches via assignedTo, and auto-claims it. The architect can now
route a specific open task to a specific agent and have its daemon pick it up.
- taskService.assignTask; PATCH /tasks/:id handles assignedTo-without-status;
remoteClient.assignTask; CLI `task assign`.
- test: assign keeps status open + sets assignedTo; start/work then claims it
via the assignedTo match. 122/122 green.
Bump 0.5.0 -> 0.6.0.

Closes the architect-side gap: the auto-claim daemon wakes implementers on
new tasks, but the architect had no signal when an implementer submitted.
`agenthub watch --await-review` exits (after printing) the moment a task
enters `review` — including any task already in review on connect (initial
check) — so the architect can run it in the background and be re-invoked by
the harness the instant a submission needs a verdict.
- watch.ts: awaitReview option, initial fetchReviewTasks() check + SSE exit
on task→review.
- index.ts: --await-review flag.
- tests: returns immediately on already-pending review; exits on a review
transition while watching. 121/121 green.
Bump 0.4.0 -> 0.5.0.

The missing autonomy step: an implementer no longer needs a human prompt
per task. `agenthub work --agent <name> --role <role>` announces, then:
- claims an already-open task addressed to the agent immediately, or
- blocks on the SSE stream until one appears (newly delegated OR
reopened after review), then claims + prints it.
Loop: work → implement → `task review` → work. New/reopened tasks are
picked up automatically; run it in the background so the wait doesn't tie
up the turn.
- src/cli/commands/start.ts: extracted announceAgent / findAddressedOpenTask
/ claimAndPrintTask (shared by start + work); addressed-match now also
covers assignedTo (reopened tasks coming back for rework).
- src/cli/commands/work.ts: wait-and-claim via /events, with a gap-close
re-check after subscribing and an optional --timeout.
- index.ts: `agenthub work` command.
- templates: implementer guides lead with `work` (the autonomous loop),
keep `start` as the one-shot.
- tests: immediate claim (local) + wait-then-claim (server SSE). 119/119.
Bump 0.3.1 -> 0.4.0.

The status snapshot (.agenthub/status/latest.md) was only refreshed on an
explicit `status --update`, so it drifted stale and misled agents that
follow golden rule #2 ("read status/latest.md") — e.g. an implementer
seeing an old task list and picking the wrong task.
- src/server/statusRefresh.ts: subscribe to the event bus and regenerate
the snapshot on every task/handoff/decision/memory change (REST and
filesystem-watch paths), debounced 300 ms. Presence ('agent') events
are skipped; the snapshot lives outside the watched dirs so it can't
feed back into the watcher.
- wired into startServer lifecycle (start + stop on close).
- test: status/latest.md reflects a new task shortly after POST /tasks.
117/117 green.
Bump 0.3.0 -> 0.3.1.

An agent runs ONE command and is working: it announces presence, claims
the open task addressed to it, and prints the task + its handoff + the
next step. Removes the per-agent kickoff copy-paste.
- src/cli/commands/start.ts: `agenthub start --agent <name> --role <role>`.
"Addressed to <agent>" = task title starts with "<agent>:" OR a handoff
has toAgent=<agent>. Claims it, prints task body + handoff + the review
gate reminder. No addressed task → lists open role tasks to pick.
Works on local + --server paths.
- templates: implementer guides (AGENTS/CODEX/KIMI.md) now lead with
"On your first turn, RUN `agenthub start …` — do not just summarize",
so a fresh session self-onboards from one trigger word.
- tests: start auto-claims the addressed task, ignores others, no-ops on
empty queue; templates test updated for the new commands. 116/116 green.
Bump 0.2.2 -> 0.3.0.

Set AGENTHUB_AUTO_UPDATE=1 and the install keeps itself current with no
manual `agenthub update` — ideal for the Windows client.
maybeNotifyUpdate now:
- auto mode: refreshes the behind-count hourly (vs 24h) and, when behind,
spawns a detached `agenthub update` (fetch → reset → install → build)
that doesn't block the current command; the next invocation runs the
new version. A 10-min cooldown stamp prevents a second build spawning
while one is in flight.
- otherwise: unchanged "run `agenthub update`" hint.
Safe to enable anywhere: `update` no-ops when current and refuses to
discard unpushed local commits, so the authoring machine is protected.
Cross-platform (no OS scheduler needed). Bump 0.2.1 -> 0.2.2.

Implements the architect-controlled workflow: implementers submit work
for review, only the architect closes tasks.
- CLI: `agenthub task review <id>` (implementer submits → status review)
and `agenthub task reopen <id>` (architect re-triggers → status open).
Server already supported both statuses; now exposed on local + --server
paths, with remoteClient.reviewTask/reopenTask.
- templates: AGENTS.md + role guides rewritten so agents self-drive the
CLI on open (hello → claim → implement → task review → wait), with the
hard rule that ONLY the architect runs `task done`. Implementer guides
(codex/kimi) never call done; architect guide documents done/reopen.
- tests: review/reopen SSE events + formatEvent "Task review"/"Task
reopened" lines. 113/113 green.
Bump 0.2.0 -> 0.2.1.

Agents now connect to the hub with no manual env/flag, and announce
themselves on join — restoring the agreed onboarding flow.
Auto-connect (resolveContext):
- An initialized project WITHOUT a configured serverUrl now falls
through to LAN auto-discovery (previously it went straight to local
mode, so agents in an initialized repo never found the server). The
discovered URL is persisted to the project config, so the next
command is instant.
- IP-change self-heal: when a configured server is unreachable,
runRemote re-discovers the live server and updates the config so the
next command reconnects automatically.
Presence (join-announce):
- POST /announce broadcasts an ephemeral 'agent/joined' event (not
written to disk). New `agenthub hello --agent <name> --role <role>`
posts it; watchers print "AgentHub: <agent> joined (<role>)".
- AgentHubEvent extended with type 'agent' + actions 'joined'/'left';
formatEvent renders presence lines; remoteClient.announce() added.
Tests: formatEvent agent lines + /announce SSE e2e. 109/109 green.
Bump 0.1.2 -> 0.2.0 (CLI --version too).

Every user-facing line — the watch stream and each command's success
line, on both the local and --server (remote) paths — now carries an
"AgentHub:" prefix so it's recognizable in any agent's console
(Claude / Codex / Kimi), independent of the board.
- watch: formatEvent rewritten to verb-based, branded lines
("AgentHub: Task received <id> <title> [status]",
"AgentHub: Task done <id> by <agent>", "AgentHub: Handoff …"),
plus an "AgentHub: connected" line on stream start.
- task/handoff/decision/memory/delegate/init + server-listening lines
branded on the local command path.
- cli/index.ts: same branding on the --server remote path (the path
agents actually hit), so CLI line and SSE stream now match.
- tests: formatEvent assertions updated to the branded format
(regex-tolerant of column padding). 106/106 green.
codex + kimi stay implementers by convention (role=implementer +
assignedTo) — no schema change. Bump 0.1.1 -> 0.1.2.

Closes the documented /events limitation: mutations made through the
local CLI (direct file + SQLite writes, no --server) bypassed the
in-process event bus and were invisible to SSE subscribers. A watcher
(e.g. a Windows client) was therefore NOT triggered when another agent
created a task via plain `agenthub task create`.
- src/server/fsWatch.ts: watch the entity dirs (tasks/handoffs/
decisions/memory); on any .md change, parse the entity and emit the
matching AgentHubEvent. Debounced per-file; self-creates dirs so it
attaches even before the first write.
- src/server/events.ts: shared dedup cache (signature = type🆔stamp)
+ emitChange() so the REST path and the watcher deliver each change
exactly once (no echo when REST writes the file the watcher sees).
- src/server/routes.ts: route emits go through emitChange(); update the
stale limitation comment.
- src/server/index.ts: start/stop the watcher with the server lifecycle.
- tests/sse.test.ts: CLI-write -> SSE, CLI-update -> SSE, and REST
dedup (exactly-once). 102/102 green.
Effect: a watcher is auto-triggered the instant any agent creates a
task, with or without --server. Bump 0.1.0 -> 0.1.1.
