Summary

Windows reliability, a native Windows launcher, multi-agent teams with a generic agent connection, and browser companion hardening. These come from running Codexify daily on Windows 11.

Base: this branch is built on v2.3.15 (ca9f41b). main has moved on since then (v2.3.16 to v2.3.29), and several areas overlap, so GitHub will report merge conflicts. I'm opening the PR against the version I actually run so you can review the changes cleanly. I'm happy to rebase onto current main, or to split this into smaller PRs (one per section below), whichever you prefer.

Changes

Windows launcher and service lifecycle

• Launch Codexify.cmd and a WPF launcher (scripts/windows-launcher.ps1, windows-launcher-core.ps1, windows-launcher.xaml) start the installed service, its saved tunnels and the browser companion. scripts/install-windows-launcher.ps1 adds desktop and Start menu shortcuts. No admin rights are needed. See docs/WINDOWS_LAUNCHER.md.
• START CODEXIFY.cmd and windows-start-local(-core).ps1 start the service locally in a console.
• Graceful updates: browser-only patch staging that applies on exit, a native backup, update guards so an update never interrupts running agent work, agent update build and activation, and live renderer priority.
• Autowork status and state-file helpers (windows-autowork-status.ps1, windows-autowork-team-status.mjs).
• Each script has a PowerShell test (scripts/test-windows-*.ps1).

Agent teams and the generic agent connection

• New src/agent_automation/agents.rs and agent_clients.rs: parent and worker agent teams with per-worker goals, revision-checked control (agent_control), messaging (agent_message), status and reports.
• New tools src/tools/agents.rs and src/tools/agent_client.rs. One agent connection over MCP, HTTP and a dependency-free JS helper (~/.codexify/agents/connection.json, client.mjs). See docs/CODING_APP_AGENTS.md and docs/AGENT_COORDINATION.md.
• conversation_recovery.rs and goal_blocking.rs recover stalled conversations and report blocked goals. The supervisor, store, turn renewal and turn analytics were extended to support this.
• Both features are off by default, behind the "Agent teams" and "AI agent control" settings.

Owner chat

• New modules: agents panel, agent client, change review (changes.rs), chat listing, and recovery (recovery.rs).
• UI updates to owner_chat.html and the global settings UI, including feature toggles.
• More reliable markdown chat queue and wait behaviour.

Browser companion (ChatGPT driver)

• Windows Chrome recovery: orphaned and stale Chrome processes, and Windows process priority handling.
• A browser pool, draft and editor recovery, stop controls, approval monitor, submission network tracking and conversation readiness.
• Renderer memory limits, minimal page and presentation mode for long chats, and faster navigation and model selection.
• Hardening across the driver, navigation, session, turn binding and pairing.
• Protocol schema and fixtures updated. Many new unit tests and smoke scripts under browser-companion/tests and browser-companion/scripts.

Core

• exec_command and write_stdin session handling, diff output, config CLI, fast setup (src/fast_setup.rs), service and registry fixes.
• codexify.config.example.json, README.md and docs/REFERENCE.md updated for the new settings.

Docs

• docs/WINDOWS_LAUNCHER.md, docs/CODING_APP_AGENTS.md, docs/AGENT_COORDINATION.md, docs/PERFORMANCE_FIXES.md.

Not included

Machine-specific deploy scripts, build output (browser-companion/dist, bundled .smoke.mjs files), and local screenshots and logs were left out on purpose.

Testing

Developed and run day to day on Windows 11 against v2.3.15. Each area has new Rust tests (tests/agent_*, tests/turn_renewal.rs, src/*_tests.rs), browser-companion tests, and Windows PowerShell tests.

Yes do that, the fixes I’ve done since then have the priority.

Thanks for the review. As you asked, I merged main (v2.3.29) into this branch and resolved all the conflicts, then split the work into themed PRs:

• Add a native Windows launcher and local service tooling #21 Windows launcher and local service tooling. Scripts and docs only, independent of the others.
• Harden the browser companion and support parallel action pages #22 Browser companion hardening and parallel action pages. Independent; still defaults to one page.
• Keep command output and Git checkpoints reliable on Windows #23 Command output and Git checkpoint reliability on Windows. Independent.
• Add agent teams, owner chat recovery and goal continuation improvements #24 Agent teams, owner-chat recovery and goal continuation. Stacked on Harden the browser companion and support parallel action pages #22 and Keep command output and Git checkpoints reliable on Windows #23; review its last commit.

Closing this one in favour of those. The merged branch stays here for reference.
