Updates install themselves, and Linux joins

Windows updates download, verify and install from inside the app, terminals take pasted images and dropped files, the agent rail and chat tabs match the Mac app, the app is called BridgeMind, and the first signed Linux packages ship as release candidates.

  • Signed automatic updates. Windows checks for a new build, downloads it, verifies its signature and installs it from Settings, the title bar or the sidebar. Anything unsigned is refused.
  • Terminals take what you drop. Paste an image or drop files from Explorer and the exact terminal you aimed at receives them as paths the agent can open — WSL sessions included.
  • Linux, signed. AppImage, .deb and .rpm packages for x86_64 and aarch64, each with a detached signature — the first Linux build since 0.1.0, shipping as release candidates.

Added

  • Windows: automatic updates. The app checks for a signed build, downloads and verifies it, and installs it from Settings, the title bar, or the sidebar's Update row; an unsigned or tampered download is refused.
  • Windows: paste an image into a terminal and it is staged as a file whose path is typed for the agent; drop files from Explorer and their paths land in that exact terminal, translated for WSL sessions.
  • Linux: signed AppImage, .deb and .rpm packages for x86_64 and aarch64 are published as release candidates.
  • An agent's chats are a tab strip across the top of its page: each tab leads with its status dot, tabs reorder by dragging and keep their order across relaunches, and a right-click renames or deletes. Ctrl+N opens a new chat.
  • The agent rail shows a status pip on each face, the teammate's last line beneath its name, and one trailing slot for the running count, "Needs you", or when it last spoke.
  • Agents get faces: pick one in the editor when you create an agent, and it leads the header and the rail in place of the engine mark.
  • Kimi Code joins the roster of coding agents you can launch.
  • A Usage dashboard in the workspace menu, with a share card you can save as an image.
  • Handoff: from a terminal or thread pane's ⋯ menu, hand the conversation to another teammate; it opens beside the source with the transcript and your ask as its first turn.
  • An engine availability Recheck button in agent settings, so installing Claude Code or Codex mid-session is picked up without a relaunch.

Changed

  • The app is called BridgeMind — in the window title, the installer, and the Start Menu shortcut.
  • The sidebar no longer lists the Dashboard, Routines, Plugins, and Skills rows; the rail is the mode's list and nothing else, matching the Mac app.
  • Windows: Ctrl+V in a terminal pastes text again instead of becoming an agent's image-paste control sequence.
  • Terminals restored at launch stay paused until you act, so no agent process starts on its own when the app opens.
  • Linux: the window uses native decorations, opens at 1280×768 so it fits a 1280×800 display, and the Browser pane is hidden where no browser surface exists.
  • Creating an agent rejects an empty or duplicate name, shows character counters, and disables Create while the selected engine is not installed.

Fixed

  • Linux: agent terminals no longer inherit TERM=dumb from the desktop session, so Codex and other TUIs start.
  • Linux: the app starts signed out instead of crashing when the system keyring has no default collection, and an update feed without a signature reports "cannot be verified" instead of erroring.
  • Routines can be created again: the form's footer is visible and Escape closes it.
  • Keyboard shortcuts no longer fire while you are typing in a text field, and Ctrl+Enter in the launch wizard launches instead of opening a stray chat.
  • Header chips, sidebar tooltips, and the composer no longer clip or sit under the dock on a 1280×800 display.
  • Choosing a sidebar destination closes Settings instead of leaving it open over the page.
