Updates

Board minutes.

Every pixel.ceo release, in order: what shipped, what got fixed and what changed for you. The app updates itself; this is the record.

v0.5.1

Latest

A security and stability release: your accounts, terminals and connections, better protected.

New

  • GPT-6.1 Sol. Available in Codex, with a reasoning level and Fast mode per agent. If your Codex is older than 0.159.0, the app warns you before you pick it.
  • CLI update guide. Each engine shows its installed and latest version. A guide gives you the exact command to update it in your terminal and detects damaged installs.
  • Quota from allowed sources. Claude's quota is read from its status line. MiniMax quota comes on by default and Gemini's stays.
  • Experimental legends and parodies. Those characters move to Experimental features and come off by default.

Security

  • Slack allow-list. Only the people you approve in Settings → Connections → Slack can give orders. Other messages wait for your approval in Triggers → Slack.
  • Webhooks and Slack on this machine only. The servers listen on 127.0.0.1 only: nobody on your local network can call them directly. If you called a webhook from another machine on your network, you now need a tunnel.
  • Sealed credentials. Slack and webhook secrets are stored encrypted with the system keychain and never reach the interface. Rotating a secret asks for confirmation.
  • Protected worktrees. Restarting or removing an agent no longer deletes a worktree with unintegrated work.

Stability

  • One writer per terminal. Only the app's queue writes to an agent's terminal, so text no longer gets mixed.
  • Git without locks. The Git and editor panels no longer take index.lock while an agent works.
  • Steadier Codex. The Codex quota check never runs while a Codex agent is alive.

Fixes

  • Polished screens. Notices and guides no longer clip buttons or text, the time of an old quota reading is always shown, and Arabic text is translated and in the right order.
  • Damaged engines in view. A damaged CLI no longer shows «Up to date» in Settings, and the installed version is kept when offline.

v0.5.0

First public release

The first public release of pixel.ceo: run your AI company from a pixel office on your own machine.

New

  • pixel.ceo. «Black Tie» icon, its own palette and a website at pixel.ceo.
  • Edit office. A builder for floors, walls, modules and furniture. Each agent's seat is set from their card.
  • Team in Settings. A list with each agent's card: folder, access and limits. An agent's autonomy never exceeds the floor's.
  • Current models. Engine pickers show the models each installed CLI offers.
  • Close the office. Close now or at a scheduled time, with a closing card that doesn't block you.
  • Chrome. Agents can use your Chrome through each engine's official routes.
  • Dispatch desk and floor screen. They replace the cork boards and show live data.

Experience

  • Responsive window. The interface adapts to every Windows window size, including half-screen, without clipping text or controls.
  • A livelier office. Agents no longer freeze in place.
  • Performance. The app detects the GPU and has a Canvas 2D fallback and a light profile. Opening a floor no longer freezes the window.

Fixes

  • Codex Remote on Linux. The agent no longer quits when you enter the floor: project folders aren't passed twice, and a resumed remote task keeps its permissions.

Scope

  • Floors in tabs (experimental). Off by default; turn it on in Settings and restart the app. On secondary floors, the Slack and webhook URL changes on each start because those floors have no fixed port.
