Catalyst Dev — Change Log

6.27.0

Apr 15, 2026

Setup Health Check System

Run /catalyst-dev:setup-catalyst to diagnose your entire Catalyst installation with 47 automated checks covering database, monitoring, secrets, and project configuration. The skill auto-fixes safe issues like missing directories and database initialization, then re-verifies everything in one command. The orchestration monitor now shows version info in the header and includes a smarter launcher that validates prerequisites and handles dependency installation automatically.

PRs

  • dev: add setup-catalyst health check, monitor launcher, and version display (#147) (31c8cba)

6.26.1

Apr 15, 2026

Setup & Configuration Hardening

Catalyst setup now checks for macOS platform and SQLite prerequisites before installation, automatically initializes the session database during orchestrator setup, and fixes OpenTelemetry monitor configuration to read from the correct config path. Run the setup scripts again to ensure your environment has all required dependencies.

PRs

  • dev: harden prerequisites, wire up SQLite init, fix OTel config (#143) (14f7c84)

Standalone Orchestrator Setup

The new setup-orchestrator.sh script lets you bootstrap orchestrator worktrees from Warp tabs, cron jobs, or any external automation without needing a Claude Code session. It supports ticket pass-through, quiet mode for scripting, and one-shot launch flags while maintaining full compatibility with the existing /catalyst-dev:setup-orchestrate skill. Also fixes the orchestration monitor dashboard which was showing zero orchestrators due to incorrect SSE event parsing.

PRs

  • dev: standalone setup-orchestrator.sh for external automation (#141) (c1158b4)

PRs

  • dev: unwrap SSE event envelope in orch-monitor React UI (#137) (8e2e433)

6.25.0

Apr 15, 2026

Modern React Orchestration Monitor

The orchestration monitor is now a React SPA with shimmer loading, worker search/filtering, animated KPIs, and a collapsible sidebar. Code-split lazy loading reduces initial bundle size while 15+ componentized views replace the previous 4000-line vanilla JavaScript implementation. All existing orchestrator functionality (Overview, Workers, Timeline, Events tabs) works identically with improved performance and modern SaaS-style UX.

PRs

  • dev: migrate orch-monitor to React SPA with modern SaaS UI (#135) (0790005)

6.24.0

Apr 14, 2026

Workspace Repository Grouping

The orchestration monitor now organizes sessions by workspace and repository, automatically extracting workspace names from your project directory structure. Toggle between the new grouped workspace view and the familiar flat “All” view using the header controls. Each workspace card shows aggregate stats including total sessions, active count, costs, and last activity across all repositories in that workspace.

PRs

  • dev: add workspace/repo grouping to orch-monitor dashboard (#132) (3c88247)

6.23.0

Apr 14, 2026

Polished Orchestration Monitor UI

Added keyboard navigation (j/k, Enter, Esc), command palette (/ or Cmd+K), sidebar with orchestrator list, and right-click context menus on worker rows. The interface now uses compact table styling with smooth transitions and higher information density, inspired by Linear’s design patterns.

PRs

  • dev: Linear-inspired SaaS UI polish for orch-monitor (#131) (0760882)

6.22.0

Apr 14, 2026

OTel Metrics Dashboard

The orchestration monitor now includes a Metrics tab with real-time charts showing cost breakdowns, token usage, cache hit rates, and tool activity from your OpenTelemetry data. Toggle between Dashboard and Metrics views to track both workflow execution and performance analytics in one interface. Charts automatically refresh across configurable time ranges, with graceful fallback when OTel isn’t configured.

PRs

  • dev: add OTel-powered metrics panels to monitor UI (#126) (014ede1)

6.21.0

Apr 14, 2026

The orchestration monitor now detects and displays preview deployment URLs from your pull requests. Clickable badges show live deployment status with color coding (green for live, yellow for deploying, red for failed) directly in the web UI, with preview URLs also appearing in terminal output. Works automatically with Cloudflare Pages, Vercel, Netlify, and Railway by scanning PR comments and the GitHub Deployments API.

PRs

  • dev: add preview deployment links to orch-monitor (#125) (2400616)

6.20.0

Apr 14, 2026

Terminal UI Monitor

Run catalyst monitor --terminal to get a real-time terminal dashboard alongside the web interface, or use --terminal-only for quick status checks without starting the HTTP server. The terminal view includes aggregate cost tracking with color-coded alerts and compact mode for narrow terminals. All keyboard shortcuts (q/r/0-9/arrows) work as expected for navigation and control.

Session & Orchestrator Annotations

Add display names, flags, notes, and tags to any session or orchestrator through click-to-edit UI controls, star/flag toggles, and an expandable notes drawer. Use the new catalyst-session annotate CLI command to script annotations, or call the REST API endpoints directly for programmatic access.
