Why it matters

GitHub published Reasonix CLI v1.17.15 on July 18, 2026. The stable line adds the new official desktop-theme release cycle, restores MCP persistent sessions, hardens long task and session switching reliability, improves CLI draft scrolling and model switching, and removes the retired Memory v5 compiler path.

Why it matters

GitHub commits 9d1925e and 36c9a44 on July 5 switch release-pointer smoke checks to the authenticated R2 API, restore the compatibility latest.json follow-up path, and keep desktop-v1.17.0 from stealing the repository-wide Latest badge from the CLI release.

Why it matters

The official npm registry now points `latest` to Reasonix 1.17.15, with `next` still at 1.17.6-rc.1 and both channels declaring Node >=18. That keeps the default install path on the current Go rewrite for users who verify `npm view reasonix dist-tags` before running `npx reasonix code` or `npm i -g reasonix`.
