Crew Mode, a Built-in Agent Browser, and Wider Platform Support

This version lets the agent run several threads of your work at once, drives a real browser inside the dashboard, and broadens the desktop lineup with a native Linux ARM64 build and first-class Windows. Sessions now explain themselves when you come back to them, the dashboard gains a Git panel and a dockable side panel, and you can talk to the agent by holding a key.

A few changes need your attention before updating:

• Node.js 22 is now the minimum (24 LTS recommended). A Node 20 install is refused up front rather than failing partway through a build.
• Telegram is single-account. Only one bot token is served; move the token you want to telegram.bot_token. Existing config is preserved but the account map is no longer read.
• kirocrew logout now revokes refresh tokens, so signing out ends the session everywhere.
• Terminal output is no longer scanned for credentials. The scan corrupted CJK text and emoji and could hide secrets you printed on purpose; terminal output now passes through untouched.
• Knowledge auto-ingest is opt-in. A fresh install ingests nothing until you switch it on.

Send your next message without waiting for the last one to finish. Crew Mode dispatches topics to parallel sub-sessions and returns answers independently, so a single chat can advance several pieces of work at the same time. Learn more ->

The dashboard's Browser panel is now something the agent drives directly: it navigates, clicks, types, and screenshots right where you're already looking. A private browser build is fetched for you, so a locked-down machine is one step from a working browser, and native desktop automation (Computer Use) is offered on macOS, where it works.

A side-panel tab summarizes what each thread of a session was trying to do and where it landed, with anything still open pulled to the top — opt-in, and its token cost is shown before you turn it on. Earlier chats resume in the background while you read, so the first message sends immediately instead of waiting on a cold start, and you can watch the context window fill as a percentage and token count.

A Git panel shows repository status and commit log alongside the folder tab, the side panel can dock to the bottom as well as the right, and GitHub, GitLab, and Jira links render inline as chips. Feature Previews get their own page, the session list is redesigned with a status gutter and draggable folders, and URL previews now unfurl in your own messages too.

The opening turn's latency drops from roughly 7.4 seconds to about 350 milliseconds, a cold dashboard load moves a quarter of the bytes (7.8 MB to 1.85 MB), dictation is about twice as fast on a many-core host, and long replies render smoothly instead of building pressure as they stream.

A native Linux ARM64 build lands, and Windows becomes a first-class target alongside macOS and Linux x86. A system-wide hotkey (Cmd+Shift+K on macOS, Alt+Shift+K elsewhere) raises the dashboard, you can switch release channels without reinstalling, publish the dashboard on your Tailscale network with kirocrew tailnet up, and launch a cloud crew from the dashboard as a restartable job.
