v2.22.0

[2.22.0] - 2026-03-26

Added

• File locking for dashboard state writes using mkdir-based POSIX locking (macOS compatible)
• state_lock, state_unlock, and state_locked_update helpers in hook-helpers.sh
• Stale lock detection and automatic cleanup after 30 seconds
• Empty-output protection: jq transforms that produce empty results no longer overwrite the state file
• Active Claude session detection: agents with a running Claude process show yellow terminal icon + "ACTIVE" badge
• Repurposed worktree detection: warns when branch name ticket doesn't match commit content
• Agents sorted by active sessions first, then by most recent activity

Changed

• All state file writes (hooks, scan, PR create) now go through state_locked_update
• "Ahead" drift badge colour changed from grey to green
• Active agents cannot be marked stale

Fixed

• Dashboard stage hook resolves agent by branch to enrich scan entries instead of duplicating
• dashboard_update() resolves existing agent by branch before creating new entry

v2.21.0

[2.21.0] - 2026-03-26

Added

• Left accent bar on agent cards colored by stage (blue=feature, yellow=staging, red=production, green=active/complete, grey=idle)
• "Awaiting staging" stage detection for branches that have been pushed but not yet merged to staging
• Contextual status hints in agent meta row: "Pushed — awaiting staging", "Committed — not yet pushed", "Working locally", "Ready for cleanup", "No recent activity"
• Stage-aware progress bar colours (yellow=staging, red=production, green=complete)

Changed

• Agent cards now use transparent background with soft bottom dividers instead of bordered cards
• Progress bar uses subtle background instead of border
• Agent meta row shows actionable status instead of repeating the branch name when branch matches agent name
• Stale threshold increased from 60 minutes to 1 week

Fixed

• Dashboard stage hook resolves agent by branch name to enrich scan entries instead of creating duplicates
• Hook skips protected branches when matching agents, preventing wrong agent enrichment
• Hook excludes completed deployments from repo-level matching

v2.20.0

What's New

Branch Drift Detection

• Stage hook and scan detect how far branches are behind/ahead of production
• Drift warning badges on agent cards (yellow 1-10, red 11+, grey ahead count)
• Deploy framework enforces drift rules: informational at early stages, blocking at Staging Contention onwards

Dashboard Improvements

• Development bar separates dev branches from agent cards, like staging
• "In development" progress bar for agents without active DeployNOPE
• Descriptive stage labels (e.g. "Working on feature branch" instead of "Feature")
• Scan button and /api/scan endpoint restored
• Production branches (main/master) filtered from work agent cards
• Duplicate branch→target row hidden when identical

Workflow Tracking

• Stage hook tracks by DeployNOPE context (e.g. "timeline-fixes") not session/cwd
• All stage updates for a workflow go to one card regardless of cwd changes
• Dedup prefers most advanced pipeline stage over most recent timestamp
• "Complete" terminal stage with modified-after-complete flag

Tests

• Timeline progression tests (49 assertions covering all 18 stages)
• Branch drift detection tests (6 assertions)
• Visual timeline test with optional drift simulation

Fixes

• Branches with no unique commits no longer marked "safe to delete"
• Scan button missing from worktree dashboard builds

Full Changelog: v2.19.0...v2.20.0

v2.19.0

Dashboard Timeline & Worktree Management

Added

• Dashboard: group agent cards by repository with dedicated repo headers
• Dashboard: per-repo staging environment bars showing claimed/available status with timeline
• Dashboard: progress bar timeline on all agent cards, inferred from branch context when no hook data
• Dashboard: finer-grained deployment stages in timeline (19 steps)
• Dashboard: clickable PR banner showing awaiting-merge status with link to PR
• Dashboard: agent remove button with worktree cleanup and dirty-check confirmation modal
• Dashboard: worktree cleanup detection in scan — shows "safe to delete" / "review" banners
• PostToolUse hook to capture PR URLs from command output
• Render-time deduplication of agents by cwd to prevent duplicate cards
• Scan deduplication: skip repos already registered by hooks

Fixed

• Scan no longer fabricates fake staging validation gate for branches on staging
• Stale threshold increased to 60 minutes, based on last action timestamp not scan time
• Reduced agent name font size for lighter visual weight

See CHANGELOG.md for full details.

v2.18.0

What's Changed

Dashboard — Human Gate Tracking

• Stage hook auto-sets/clears gate when stage name implies a human gate (validation, sign-off, awaiting)
• Scan infers gate for repos sitting on staging branch
• Dashboard renders gate banner on agent cards
• Card layout: repo/branch on dedicated row below title
• Production tag only inferred from target branch, not checked-out branch
• Small red warning when agent is checked out on production branch
• Agents with active gates no longer shown as stale
• Gate count shown in header status bar

v2.17.0

Added

• Real-time web dashboard for monitoring DeployNOPE activity across all agents and worktrees — run with ./dashboard/start.sh
• All 9 hooks now write agent state to ~/.deploynope/dashboard-state.json for dashboard tracking
• dashboard_update and resolve_repo_name helper functions in hook-helpers.sh

Fixed

• Dashboard state updates run synchronously in hooks (background processes were killed on hook exit)
• Server watches state directory instead of file for macOS inode compatibility with atomic writes

v2.16.0

Added

• Configurable reconciliation strategy (merge/cherry-pick/ask) for branch alignment during /deploynope-reconcile — analyses divergence and recommends a strategy based on commit count, direction, and history shape
• Configurable default base branch for new work (defaultBaseBranch in /deploynope-configure)

v2.15.0

What's new in 2.15.0

Fixed

• Hook command parsing: Chained commands (cd && git checkout && git merge) now correctly detect the merge target and source branch
• Hook push guard: Post-reset fast-forward pushes to production (e.g. release manifests, branch sync) are prompted for approval instead of hard-blocked
• Hook merge guard: origin/ prefix stripped when comparing merge source against production branch name

v2.14.0

What's Changed

• chore: harden branch protection and align docs by @SimTimms in #26

Full Changelog: v2.12.0...v2.14.0

v2.13.0

What's new in 2.13.0

• /deploynope-reconcile — New command to audit and remediate manual releases done outside DeployNOPE. Auto-detects what was released, checks 8 alignment criteria, and offers numbered remediation actions with human gates.
