 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [1.14.1] - 2026-05-05

+### Fixed
+- **`!update` no longer leaves an interactive bot dead.** The auto-restart path silently broke for users running in a terminal. PR #333 (April) skipped the bash daemon when stdout was a TTY, because the daemon's bash background-job pattern strips the TTY and forces headless mode, but the bot's `!update` flow assumed the daemon was always there to catch exit code 42 and re-exec. Without the daemon, `process.exit(42)` just exited. Install succeeded, sessions persisted, then nothing came back. The fix introduces a `decideRespawn()` step before the exit. When a known supervisor is present (`CLAUDE_THREADS_BIN` from the bash daemon, `pm_id` + `PM2_HOME` from pm2, `INVOCATION_ID` from systemd, `CLAUDE_THREADS_INTERACTIVE` from a TTY-managing wrapper) the bot still exits 42 and lets the supervisor handle the restart so its restart-counters and rate-limits keep working. Otherwise, when there is a TTY, the bot self-respawns. It synchronously resolves `claude-threads` on PATH (with a fallback to `~/.bun/bin` because cron / systemd / launchd `PATH=` is often missing it), then `spawn(binPath, argv, { detached: true, stdio: 'inherit', shell: process.platform === 'win32' })` followed by `unref()` and `exit(0)`. The Node docs cover this combination explicitly: when stdio is inherited, the detached child stays attached to the parent's controlling terminal, so the new process inherits the TUI cleanly. Several footguns are handled. `spawn()` does not throw on ENOENT, it returns a child with `pid === undefined` and fires the `error` event asynchronously, so we check `pid` synchronously instead of trusting a try/catch that never triggers. Bun passes `env: { X: undefined }` as the literal string `"undefined"` (Node correctly omits it), so the auto-restart hand-off vars are removed via `delete` rather than overwrite. Windows `.cmd` shims need `shell: true` since Node 20.12.2 (CVE-2024-27980). Ink's raw mode is reset before the spawn so the new child starts with a clean stdin. If self-respawn cannot launch (no `claude-threads` on PATH at all), the bot broadcasts a clear "could not auto-restart, please run `claude-threads`" message before exiting, so the user is not left wondering what happened. Four prior PRs (#287, #300, #317, #333) chased this in the daemon path. This one fixes the bot side instead. (#372)

 ## Features
 
 - **Real-time streaming** - Claude's responses stream live to chat
-- **Multi-platform** - Connect to multiple Mattermost and Slack workspaces
-- **Concurrent sessions** - Each thread gets its own Claude session
-- **Session persistence** - Sessions survive bot restarts
-- **Collaboration** - Invite others to participate in your session
+- **Multi-platform** - Connect to multiple Mattermost and Slack workspaces simultaneously
+- **Concurrent sessions** - Each thread gets its own Claude session, persisted across bot restarts
+- **Collaboration** - `!invite` teammates to participate; they get added as `Co-Authored-By:` trailers on Claude's commits
 - **Permission modes** - Three-way control over Claude's tool-use: `default` (every action prompts for 👍/✅/👎 approval via emoji), `auto` (Claude's classifier auto-approves low-risk; high-risk still prompts — recommended), or `bypass` (no prompts, all tools allowed). Set via config, `--permission-mode` CLI flag, or in-session with `!permissions default|auto|bypass`.
-- **Git worktrees** - Isolate changes in separate branches
-- **File attachments** - Attach images, PDFs, and files for Claude to analyze
-- **Chrome automation** - Control Chrome browser for web tasks
+- **Claude posts back to chat** - Claude can call `send_file` to drop screenshots, generated PDFs, plots, or audio directly into the thread, and `read_post` to follow a Mattermost or Slack permalink the user shares
+- **Git worktrees** - Isolate Claude's changes in a branch with `!worktree feature/foo`; supports `list`, `switch`, `remove`, `cleanup`, `off`
+- **File attachments** - Drop images, PDFs, archives, or any file into the chat; Claude reads them from disk via its own `Read`/Bash tools (100 MB cap)
+- **Chrome automation** - Optional integration with Claude in Chrome for web tasks
 - **Multi-account Claude (opt-in)** - Round-robin sessions across multiple Claude subscriptions or API keys with automatic rate-limit cooldown — see [Configuration](docs/CONFIGURATION.md#claude-accounts-optional-multi-account-mode)
+- **Auto-update** - Bot checks npm for new versions and offers to restart; `!update now` / `!update defer` controls the timing

 - ✅ Allow all future actions
 - 👎 Deny
 
 **Plan approval** - When Claude creates a plan:
+
 - 👍 Approve and start
 - 👎 Request changes
 
 **Questions** - React with 1️⃣ 2️⃣ 3️⃣ 4️⃣ to answer multiple choice
 
-**Cancel session** - Type `!stop` or react with ❌
+**Session control** - ⏸️ to interrupt, ❌ or 🛑 to stop, ↩️ to resume a timed-out session
 
 ## File Attachments
 
-Attach files to your messages for Claude to analyze:
+Drop any file into the chat (image, PDF, archive, source, log, you name it). The bot saves it to a per-thread directory and prepends the path to your message; Claude reads it with its own `Read` tool (full multimodal for images and PDFs) or processes it via Bash. Single 100 MB cap per file. Need to extract a zip? Claude runs `unzip` itself.
 
-| Type | Formats | Max Size |
-|:-----|:--------|:---------|
-| Images | JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP | - |
-| Documents | PDF | 32 MB |
-| Text | .txt, .md, .json, .csv, .xml, .yaml, source code | 1 MB |
-| Archives | .zip (auto-extracted, max 20 files) | 50 MB |
-| Compressed | .gz (auto-decompressed) | - |
+Going the other way, Claude can post files back into the thread (screenshots, generated PDFs, plots, MP3s) by calling the `send_file` MCP tool. Path is validated against the session working directory; auto-approved so the user doesn't have to 👍 every screenshot.
