Linear — cloud-v0.5.34
AI Models
- HOU-951 — If an user is with gemini and wants to continue the conversation with anthropic, claude says "it is a new conversation". We're not moving this correctly between Pi and antrhopic I think 🐛
- HOU-925 — Update Pi
Activity
- HOU-932 — Renaming missions doesn't allow adding a space, it closes the change of the mission
- HOU-941 — Searching for a mission is taking +15 seconds
- HOU-981 — Missions are sometimes when I login not seeing them
Admin, Settings & Permissions
- HOU-818 — Bug report cannot be sent from Settings 🐛
Agent Store
Backend
- HOU-1007 — Desktop: stackless "Load failed" unhandled rejection + error toast when the global events stream drops (WebKit double-report)
- HOU-1004 — Prod nodes exhaust inotify watch budget (ENOSPC) — engine pods crash-loop, users see all-routes "Load failed"
- HOU-978 — User can't install Houston in Windows 🐛
Chat Experience
- HOU-831 — Improve approval card from an integration in coworker mode
- HOU-762 — The skills from the chat should have the same look and feel as the skills page. They should use the same component so that if we change one, we change both
- HOU-763 — The skills in there should also have a searchbar, so probably we should use the catalog component, but not for installing, but just for using the skills so we ensure the experience is the same
- HOU-764 — Skills in the modal should be ordered alphabetically
- HOU-773 — When the chat goes to "Done", instead of doing a generic question inside the chat, but suggested actions in bubbles that are clickable so people can continue with other stuff
- HOU-974 — ask_user cards should be collapsable so that the user is able to read the chat (this is an issue specially with plan mode). Also, I don't think the plan should be on the card, that'll just create a gigantic plan. We need to find a better UX for this 🐛
- HOU-766 — Improve the experience when the Plan is done and the AI is ready to execute. Benchmark how others handle this. What if the plan is big?
Files
- HOU-971 — When an user tries to upload a heavy file like a video it says something like "some files couldn't be uploaded" 🐛
- HOU-970 — Improve Files UI
Global Interfaces & Components
- HOU-812 — The catalog should have a functionality of that when something is installed the searchbar is cleaned AND should always have an X to close that
- HOU-975 — Agents can't be renamed!
- HOU-814 — Reorder the tabs to be (1) Activity, (2) Settings, (3) Integrations, (4) Routines, (5) Files. Permissions should be inside agent settings and archived should be a binder button somewhere instead of a tab
- HOU-816 — Sometimes when changing from an agent to another the missions and files from the prior one stay in there. So we're having refreshing issues.
- HOU-813 — User should feel that the loading time of a screen is 0 seconds. E.g. when moving from one screen to another (like mission control to integrations) loading time should be 0 seconds. How can we do this? Maybe caching? Optimistic loading? etc
Integrations
- HOU-901 — Allow users to connect multiple profiles into each integration
Local Models
- HOU-805 — It is not working on windows. Test, debug, and fix.
Multiplayer
- HOU-969 — For the chat in multiplayer we need to change the UI of the chat from when it is just a sinlge person and multiple person
Performance
- HOU-894 — Fix that is taking a lot of time with skills and they are not being completed
Triggers
- HOU-893 — It is not working. Debug why and fix.
