Release notes

The short version:

Finish the job keeps Empryo working until what you asked for is done.
Edit, Rewind and Resend any prompt, on the desktop, in the terminal and on your phone.
Several Chrome profiles at once, and a browser you can pop out into its own window.
Lite mode, a lightweight Empryo with every tool.
One tab order everywhere, and agents get as many sub-tabs as they need.
A new Experimental page to try features early and see how far along they are.
Phones queue messages while a chat compacts and get a much better chat list.

Finish the job keeps a turn going until the work you asked for is done. It shows what is still open, and you choose headless runs only, everywhere, or off.
A new Experimental page in the terminal and the desktop lists the features you can try early, with how each one works, what testing found and how far along it is.
Lite mode (experimental) is a lightweight Empryo that keeps every tool and the same intelligence.
Compact on resume shrinks an old chat when you come back after its cache went cold.
After a compaction, the agent can read back anything that was cut, word for word.

Edit a sent prompt. The new version replaces the old one and everything after it.
Rewind here takes the chat back to that prompt, as if nothing after it happened.
Resend runs a prompt again, from its menu on the desktop and in the terminal, or with a long press on the phone.
In the terminal, the actions for your own messages sit in their own row when you hover.

Drive several Chrome profiles at once through the extension, so work and personal sign-ins stay apart.
Pop the browser out into its own window.
Start the browser muted with a new setting.
Empryo asks before it looks at a tab on a site it has not visited yet, and it stops asking for screen recording over and over.

One tab order everywhere. Move a tab on the desktop and it moves in the terminal and on your phone too.
Agents open as many sub-tabs as they need instead of squeezing work into one.
Phone chat list: drag to reorder, swipe to close, close every idle chat at once, sort, filter by status, and start a new chat in one tap.

Architect, Socratic and Challenge are now part of Plan. Plan draws the diagrams, weighs the options and stress-tests the idea. Chats and settings that used the old modes open in Plan.
Cycling through modes in the terminal reaches every mode.

A refresh button sits beside the usage meter.
Messages you send while the agent works show up at once and stay marked as running until it answers.
Side-by-side tabs shrink down to 380 pixels wide.
Each turn shows when it finished, in your own clock format.
The rubber duck notice spans the whole chat, so you can't miss it.
When agents in different tabs message each other, a new setting decides whether the message wakes the other tab, waits in its queue, or lets Empryo choose.

Edit, Rewind and Resend from a message's long-press menu.
Messages you send while a chat compacts wait in the queue and say so, instead of looking stuck.
Tool details show which models and steps were used, and Empryo asks before it shares a chat's content.
The status sheet lists what broke the prompt cache; tap one for the full report.
Subagents sit under the chat title.
iPhone answer cards show tables and bold text.
Chats that finish while your phone is away still get their Done tag.

empryo update shows the installer's progress live, and a dropped download picks up where it left off.
The Windows installer repairs files that another program removed during an update.
The shell the agent uses now loads your aliases and variables, like a new terminal window.

Stop and Clear cancel a pending automatic follow-up too.
Claude accounts switch at the limit each provider actually reports.
Language servers start on Windows, and they no longer start until a project needs them.
Shell scripts show up in the project map again.
Python tests run in the project's own virtual environment.
Phones catch up again after the computer drops some of their updates.
The desktop stays on the tab you were viewing after a reconnect.
Edits that introduce a syntax error now say so, in any language Empryo reads.
Android releases the camera when you close the QR scanner.
Phone access keeps working when Empryo runs from an AppImage or a portable folder.
Plus many smaller fixes across the desktop app, the terminal, the phone apps and model providers.
