Bug fixes & Stability
5 items
WorkingTreeWatch freeze fix: Resolved a deadlock in file-tree watching where concurrent callers looped without suspending, eliminating intermittent app beachballs and freezes during agent file edits.
Child process & memory management: Implemented full process-tree tracking via kernel APIs (proc_pidinfo, proc_listchildpids) ensuring child and grandchild agent processes cleanly terminate without leaking memory or leaving orphan zombies. Added 32MB input queue and 256MB backlog safety limits.
Claude background task sync: Fixed unprompted turn synchronization when Claude Code completes background commands, and added real-time "Waiting on a background task" mini spinner indicators to the sidebar.
Hydra multi-chat isolation: Prevented cross-chat write claiming and race conditions when multiple chat threads operate concurrently within the same checkout.
Offline Antigravity guard: Skipped headless usage queries when offline to avoid unexpected browser sign-in popups.

Ensembyte 1.1.0 introduces Hydra Thread View to the sidebar and live status glyphs for child heads.
New features

Switch back to floating panel mode anytime from the same menu.
Head row status: Each Hydra head now shows its live status glyph (thinking, done, error) directly in its sidebar row, matching the floating panel indicator.
Bug fixes
1 item
Fixed sidebar layout for threads with many Hydra heads in thread mode.
