[5.3.0] — 2026-05-22

TUI Redesign. devloop-tui graduates from a rough side-binary into a first-class user surface. Dashboard, Focus Mode, Command Palette, and an Onboarding Wizard land together — plus the backend hooks they consume.

CLI behaviour is unchanged. The redesign is purely additive: devloop-tui is opt-in, and the existing devloop run/work/review/fix commands keep running exactly as before.

Added — TUI (cmd/devloop-tui)

  • Dashboard with provider top bar, fuzzy task filter, collapsible SPEC and DIFF side panels, and stuck-task detection.
  • Focus Mode — single-task full-screen view with LOG / SPEC / DIFF / PERMIT tabs, phase track, and ←/→ task navigation.
  • Command Palette — 18 default actions, dispatched through a single audited shell entry point.
  • Onboarding Wizard — first-run setup wraps devloop init and devloop doctor in a guided flow.

Added — engine

  • phase.escalate event emitted when the fix loop exhausts its retry budget and re-architect kicks in. The TUI subscribes to this to flip the active phase card.
  • Permission queue formalised at .devloop/permission-queue/<UUID>.json with a contract documented in Events Stream.

Changed

  • devloop with no arguments now launches the dashboard by default. Set DEVLOOP_DEFAULT_VIEW=help to restore the old behaviour.

[5.2.0] — 2026-05-12

  • Auto-failover restored — main and worker chains, configurable probe interval, restart-safe overrides in provider-health.sh.
  • devloop agent-sync introduced — 24h-TTL cache of provider docs.
  • devloop resume rebuilt around session events for safe re-entry.

[5.1.0] — 2026-05-08

  • devloop do natural-language entry point.
  • Smart Permissions modes (off/auto/smart/strict).
  • Fix escalation strategy (escalate vs standard).

[5.0.0] — 2026-04-XX

  • Multi-provider architecture: claude, copilot, opencode, pi.
  • github-agent worker mode.
  • Session viewer + replay.
