Desktop v1.38.8 requires manual installation on every platform
The official Desktop release is manual-download only; automatic-update channels remain on v1.38.7. Windows packages lack Reasonix Authenticode signatures because SignPath is unavailable and may show an unknown-publisher warning. Detached minisign signatures and SHA-256 checksums remain available. CLI and npm publication are unaffected.

Reasonix v1.38.8 ships session storage v4 and desktop installer repairs
Stable CLI/Desktop v1.38.8 and all four npm tags are available. Session storage v4 removes the former 128 MiB replay limit; continuing old sessions migrates them into a separate v4 directory while preserving originals. Older clients cannot read new v4 history, so update Desktop and CLI together. Browsing or migration does not resume Goals or restore execution approvals. The release repairs Goal restoration, macOS app-bundle updater lookup, Windows installer file-lock retries and Linux package permissions. Desktop v1.38.3 and earlier require a manual full-package install. These release notes supersede earlier merged-source availability caveats for the included fixes.

Merged permission presets clarify full access and Windows limits
Official PR #10209 replaces Ask/Auto/Yolo with read-only, workspace-write and danger-full-access; new sessions default to workspace-write. Full access runs as the current OS account without the Reasonix filesystem or network sandbox; explicit host denies apply before launch only. Legacy Ask migrates to read-only and Auto/Yolo to workspace-write. Windows restricted-token enforcement is reported as partial; older remote services need the new execution contract. These are merged main-v2 changes, not verified stable v1.38.7 behavior.

Official PR #10223 checks observed file versions at mutation time and removes full-read debt, Auto Guard and proof-driven completion gates. A bounded read observes a version without claiming full-file review. Unknown external effects remain recorded facts but no longer block later tools or require recovery confirmation; the host no longer guarantees exactly-once handling. Old recovery records become read-only and cannot replay operations. Permissions, sandboxing, Plan approval and checkpoints remain. This is merged source, not a new stable release.

Merged macOS updater repair: v1.38.7 needs a manual full-DMG upgrade
Official PR #10194 fixes the updater failing to recognize the v1.38.7 service inside the macOS app bundle. Users on 1.38.7 need one manual full-DMG replacement when the repaired build is released, because the old updater fails before installing it.

Merged execution change retires Delivery mode and automatic quality gates
Official PR #10198 changes main-v2 so ordinary turns end when the model finishes, without host-added validation rounds for changed-file risk or unfinished todos. Delivery mode and the separate Goal evaluator are retired; the model reports Goal completion or blocking. Plan preapproval, explicit constraints, permissions, sandboxing and budgets remain enforced. Restored or forked Goals require an explicit start or resume. Old services retain their actual behavior, and downgrading may restore old Delivery semantics. These changes are merged source, not capabilities verified in stable v1.38.7.

Reasonix v1.38.7 adds browser controls and Windows reliability fixes
Stable CLI and Desktop v1.38.7 are available on GitHub with native CLI archives and macOS, Windows and Linux Desktop packages. At the September 12 check, all four npm tags still point to 1.38.6. Desktop adds browser settings for Chrome login-state import and browser-data clearing, fixes Windows startup recovery and taskbar grouping, and keeps long transcripts within the chat panel. CLI fixes UTF-8 clipboard copying in WSL; both clients preserve per-model max_output_tokens overrides and add configurable checkpoint retention.

The official v1.38.6 release fixes mismatched version information between the Desktop shell and bundled service. If v1.38.5 cannot open, the release instructs users to install the complete v1.38.6 package without deleting configuration or sessions. The first upgrade from v1.38.3 or earlier Wails builds to Electron also requires a full manual installation because the old updater cannot install the new layout. This startup fix does not resolve the previously reported OpenCode Go Responses native-search limitation.

Reasonix v1.38.5 ships Electron Desktop and interrupted-tool recovery
Stable CLI and Desktop v1.38.5 are available on GitHub, and all four npm tags point to 1.38.5 at the September 11 check; v1.38.4 was not publicly released. Desktop now uses Electron, with macOS signing fixes and verified macOS, Windows and Linux package listings. The release adds DeepSeek V4.1 Flash image input and evidence-backed interrupted-tool recovery. Review and confirm pending tool outcomes before downgrading: older runtimes do not enforce the new recovery guards, and safe retry is off by default. OpenCode Go is a new provider preset, but its DeepSeek Responses native search remains unverified; the release recommends its tested Anthropic path for web search.

Reasonix v1.38.3 saves model settings and fixes stuck task status
Stable CLI and Desktop v1.38.3 are available on GitHub; npm latest, next, canary and latest-staging also point to 1.38.3 at the September 10 check. Desktop can save model preferences and provider connections before a session starts; active work keeps its original connection until the next run. Local and remote sessions now synchronize completion state to fix lingering spinners. Per-turn results show confirmed file changes and executed checks with exit codes and logs; missing evidence is labelled rather than treated as a pass. Older Desktop-managed Serve instances without settings snapshot support need an upgrade or safe reconnect after active work finishes. Verified installers cover macOS, Windows and Linux.

Reasonix main-v2 documents the Electron desktop shell
After v1.38.3, merged main-v2 documentation PR #10018 replaces retired Wails host descriptions with the Electron shell. The current README says source builds need Go 1.26+, Node 24+ and pnpm 10; Chromium is bundled, so platform webview dependencies are no longer needed. This describes current source builds, not a claim that the verified v1.38.3 installers use Electron.

Reasonix main-v2 bounds recovery waits and tool cancellation
Merged main-v2 PRs #9899, #9901 and #9900 on September 7 add a 10-minute provider recovery waiting budget with a countdown and Stop control, bound the wait for parallel tools after cancellation to a 15-second grace period, and show running-tool elapsed time plus a warning after 10 minutes of silence. Abandoned tools may still have unknown effects; the silence warning does not terminate them. Recovery-dialog backend failures become actionable notifications instead of a full-window crash overlay.

Reasonix CLI v1.38.0 separates web search and adds protocol recovery
GitHub published stable CLI v1.38.0 on September 5 with independent web search and one recovery attempt from valid history via /recover-context.

Reasonix main-v2 makes planner fallback explicit and removes the Classic desktop style
Official `main-v2` merges on 2026-09-04 turned planner, continuation, compaction, and model fallback paths into explicit opt-in behavior, moved vision handling to model-level capability metadata instead of manual lists, and retired the Classic desktop layout by migrating existing users to Workbench. The evidence is in merged PRs #9794, #9787, and #9796. These are user-visible source changes after stable `v1.36.0`, not a newer stable release.

Reasonix now runs compatible Claude Code plugins inside normal sessions
Reasonix now reads `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` directly and maps compatible Claude Code plugin skills, slash commands, agents, hooks, MCP servers, and root `CLAUDE.md` context into its existing CLI and Desktop sessions. Before writing files, `reasonix plugin install <source> --dry-run` reports whether each declared capability is fully, partially, or not compatible; a July 20 follow-up also repaired MCP tool bindings used by imported plugin skills.

Reasonix documents its default credential-store fallback and no longer blocks saves on shadow warnings
GitHub commits a148c43, d6d18e1, and a4037eb on June 16 document `credentials_store = "auto"` as the default path, clarify that OS keyrings are preferred before the file fallback, and keep provider-key saves successful even when an existing environment variable would override the stored key after restart.

Reasonix main-v2 now backfills missing tool-call names when older sessions replay
GitHub commit abb0310 on June 17 backfills empty tool-call names and arguments from paired tool results so pre-adde2d3e sessions no longer fail replay with HTTP 400 missing-field errors; the same-day regression follow-up 1e5d796 keeps healthy sessions unchanged.
