2.0.0 - 2025-01-24

🚀 Complete Go Rewrite

This is a major release that rewrites the core CLI from TypeScript/Node.js to Go, delivering substantial performance improvements and better user experience.

Added

Core Architecture

  • Native Go binary - Complete rewrite of the CLI in Go, eliminating Node.js runtime dependency
  • Single binary distribution - Self-contained executable with no external dependencies
  • Cross-platform support - Pre-built binaries for Darwin/Linux on AMD64/ARM64 architectures
  • GitHub Actions release workflow - Automated builds and releases
  • Install script - One-line installation via curl

CLI Commands (All Ported to Go)

  • coders tui - Interactive terminal UI built with Bubbletea
  • coders spawn - Spawn new coding sessions
  • coders list - List all sessions with JSON output support
  • coders attach - Attach to running sessions
  • coders kill - Terminate sessions
  • coders promise - Publish completion promises
  • coders resume - Resume completed sessions
  • coders orchestrator - Manage orchestrator session
  • coders init - Initialize coders in a project
  • coders heartbeat - Session monitoring and health checks
  • coders version - Display version information

New Features

  • Loop runner (/coders:loop) - Automatically spawn tasks from todolist with recursive execution
  • Ollama backend support - Run sessions using Ollama with --ollama flag
  • Configuration file support - YAML configuration for customization
  • Structured logging - Zerolog integration for better debugging
  • Automatic crash recovery - Sessions auto-restart on error
  • Live preview panel - Two-way communication in TUI with real-time session output
  • Health check system - Monitor session liveness and status

Enhanced TUI

  • Interactive navigation - Vim-style keybindings (j/k) and arrow keys
  • Session management - Spawn, attach, kill, resume directly from TUI
  • Status visualization - Real-time status updates with color-coded indicators
  • Bulk operations - Kill all completed sessions with C key
  • Smart quit behavior - Auto-switch to orchestrator when quitting TUI
  • Session filtering - Filter by status (active/completed/error)

Performance Improvements

Startup Performance

  • ~20x faster startup - Go binary starts in ~2ms vs Node.js ~40ms
  • Instant command response - No runtime initialization overhead

TUI Optimizations

  • Dirty tracking - Only re-render changed components
  • Style pre-caching - Lipgloss styles cached to avoid recomputation
  • String builder usage - Efficient string concatenation for progress bars and status
  • ANSI-aware width caching - Cached calculations for terminal width handling
  • Pre-calculated sort keys - Optimized session list sorting
  • Non-blocking Redis - Async Redis client initialization
  • Spawn args pre-allocation - Reduced memory allocations

Process Management

  • Optimized liveness checking - Faster process detection with combined checks
  • Faster polling - Improved spawn CLI detection

Changed

  • Removed TypeScript TUI - Replaced with faster Go implementation
  • Binary distribution model - Plugin now bundles pre-built Go binaries for all platforms
  • Build process - Makefile-based build system with comprehensive targets

Development Workflow

  • make build - Build for current platform
  • make build-all - Cross-compile for all platforms
  • make test - Run test suite with coverage
  • make watch - Auto-rebuild on changes
  • make lint - Code quality checks

Migration Notes

For Users

  • No breaking changes to commands - All existing commands work identically
  • Automatic binary selection - Plugin automatically uses correct binary for your platform
  • Update via plugin system - Run /plugin:update coders to get the latest version

For Developers
