v0.17: Setup wizard & reasoning effort

Setting up a project is now a guided, multi-step flow, and how hard your agents think is finally a first-class setting.

Highlights

  • Setup wizard — multi-step project setup and template import (Providers, Agents, Teams, Review), with provider selection driving preset and per-agent configuration.
  • Reasoning effort — per-provider effort levels as a first-class parameter, selectable as provider defaults and overridable per agent from a new chat Overrides dialog.
  • Mobile — durable message outbox with transcript cache and app version gate, plus an on-screen key pad for terminal prompts.
  • Bug fixes — tmux scrollback duplication on resize, terminal viewport jumps, seed capture timing, and session restore blocked by stale terminal entries.

Since 0.17.0

Patch releases 0.17.1 and 0.17.2 followed with stability work:

  • Performance — much lower memory usage when reading session transcripts; long-running sessions no longer bloat the app over time.
  • Sign-in stability — fixed unexpected logouts on desktop and mobile; temporary network hiccups now retry silently instead of signing you out.
  • Terminal — live history updates restored, smoother scrolling, and more reliable session restore.
  • Projects — importing a template no longer overwrites your already-configured providers.
  • Security — hardened webhook verification in the cloud bridge.

Install or update with npm install -g devchain-cli.
