New Agent Execution Model - The Agent Runner

Added

• The Agent Runner - the desktop app used to directly launch the terminal, navigate to the working directory, and call the agent. The problem with this was poor reliability when trying to launch agents via some background process. We now use an agent runner, which automatically claims and runs queued tasks in your local terminal using a new execution queue. Clicking the "Run" button queues the objective, then the runner opens the terminal and runs it (not, you may notice a bit of delay before the terminal opens). This architecture facilitates:
• Auto-advance Objectives - Objectives can now launch automatically. Draft objectives can be set to run after the preceding objective completes. Users can now create future objectives, which automatically move to the draft position once the draft moves into execution. Each new draft then executes in sequence.
• Remote Execution- The new architecture means that the CLI-only version of Overlord can now launch objectives in the terminal as well. Future updates will leverage this to allow users to trigger execution remotely.

Improved

• Per-objective agent selection — choosing an agent for a specific task now stays scoped to that objective and no longer overrides your global default preferences.
• Optimized agent context — internal plugin documentation now uses progressive disclosure to save space and improve agent performance.
• Redesigned changelog — a new card-based layout for easier reading of product updates on the web and in-app.
• Enhanced session tracking — improved how agent sessions are linked to objectives to ensure better data integrity and more reliable task history.

Fixed

• Precise mention editing — backspacing an @mention now removes one character at a time instead of accidentally deleting the entire reference.
• Reliable tool discovery — fixed issues where the Desktop app could not find required CLI binaries on certain system configurations.
• Improved light mode readability — resolved visibility issues on public pages where hardcoded styles caused unreadable text in light mode.
