Latest
0.8.1: security fixes
- When an owner removes a person from a shared Desk, that person cannot undo it. Only the owner can let them back in.
- What a joined person's routine learns comes only from that person's own decisions. Results the helper writes itself do not count as evidence.
- Run counts must be valid numbers. A bad count stops that person's own run and is ignored for everyone else. The Desk-wide cap counts only people still serving, and nobody who joined can block the owner.
Not yet released
Unreleased
- The template catalog moved to a
catalog/folder at the root of the repo. - The landing page is no longer part of the repo.

Earlier releases
0.8.0 back to 0.5.0
- 0.8.0: join a DeskYou can open your Desk so other people do part of the work from their own accounts, with a daily cap. Two helper kinds were added: one drafts mail, one sends it after approval. A Workers page shows who does what and how each is doing. An approval counts only for the exact content the person saw, and the approval email is a notice only. The docs also became a read-only MCP server bundled with the plugin. Technical entry
- 0.7.0: Desk iconsTypes and views on the Desk can name an icon from a set of 28. The sidebar shows icons instead of letter badges, the phone bottom bar was tidied, and two accessibility bugs in slim mode were fixed. Technical entry
- 0.6.0: packs, templates and migrationA routine can be one pack file you install, export and check. Eight new templates arrived, none piloted yet. You can convert an n8n workflow or a Windmill flow into a routine, and a Zapier Zap is guided from a description. Converted routines start report-only, and any step that writes sits behind an approval gate. Packs also got more safety checks. Technical entry
- 0.5.0: Desk v2The Desk got a new shell with a sidebar and command palette, an Approvals page, a History page, a notifications column, snooze and saved views, record Drop and Restore, and Settings history with Revert. Technical entry
