• Active pane colour indicators via theme.pane_indicators
• Rounded popup borders for help overlay and command palette via theme.popup_border_style

System Prompt Delivery

v0.2.10

0.2.10 (2026-03-26)

This was a version bump only, there were no code changes.

v0.2.9

Documentation

Updated all READMEs to reflect v0.2.8 changes and current codebase state:

• Root README — orc add now shows the interactive setup prompt flow; removed stale "Configure (optional)" section since setup is prompted automatically after registration
• CLI README — added adapters/ directory and send.sh to architecture tree; documented the adapter contract and auto-detection; fixed command routing docs ($LIB_DIR, not $ORC_LIB); added --background flag
• Commands README — expanded installation table to cover all 5 supported agent CLIs (Claude Code, Windsurf, OpenCode, Codex, Gemini) with their install targets and adapter behavior
• Personas README — already accurate, no changes needed

No code changes in this release.

v0.2.8

Highlights

• Auto agent CLI detection — agent_cmd = "auto" (new default) detects installed CLIs: claude → opencode → codex → gemini. No manual config needed. (Thanks @AlexandraIM! — #2)
• Project orchestrator isolation — runs in a dedicated worktree, preventing workspace contamination from scout sub-agents
• Worktree setup hook — [worktree] setup_instructions bootstraps new worktrees (install deps, copy env files, etc.)
• orc add → setup flow — registering a project now prompts to launch guided config setup immediately

What's Changed

Features

• Add auto agent CLI detection with _resolve_agent_cmd (9dcb667)
• Isolate project orchestrator in dedicated worktree (2baad42)
• Add [worktree] setup_instructions config field (0b308e4)
• Prompt to launch guided config setup after orc add (4a7015a)

Fixes

• Guard signal files from being committed in engineer worktrees (53b4c0b)
• Guard config files from agent modification (e5bd082)
• Guard Ruflo MCP registration for non-Claude CLIs (d3fb475)

Refactors

• Rename doctor flags --auto-fix/--fix → --fix/--interactive (4ae8c08)
• Make review launch adapter-aware via _launch_agent_in_review_pane (261c1fd)
