 # Changelog
 
+## 1.16.0 — 2026-08-16
+
+- **Claude Design, and native Windows along the way.** ([#13](https://github.com/saaranshM/unsnooze/issues/13))
+  Claude Design shares your 5-hour and weekly limits with everything else, so a
+  long design run stops exactly like any other session — the obstacle was never
+  the stop, it was that Design's canvas is a web app with no pane to watch, and
+  that the reporter was on Windows, where unsnooze watched nothing at all.
+  `unsnooze design setup` wires up the official `claude-design` MCP server so
+  the work runs inside Claude Code, where it is watched like anything else;
+  `unsnooze design` reports whether it is registered and signed in, keeping
+  those two apart because an expired `/design-login` is *not* a usage limit and
+  waiting will never clear it. unsnooze does not automate the web canvas and
+  will not: Anthropic's Consumer Terms bar automated access to claude.ai, and
+  accounts have been terminated over it.
+
+- **Watching without a multiplexer (`headless`).** A pane was only one of three
+  detection channels — the StopFailure hook and the transcript watcher never
+  needed one. What was missing was somewhere to put a revived agent, so there
+  is now a backend where a "pane" is a pid and a revive is a detached process
+  logging to `~/.unsnooze/headless/`. That makes native Windows, bare servers
+  and CI work. It is picked only when no multiplexer is installed, never ahead
+  of one, and it is honestly weaker: no limit-menu answering, no busy
+  detection, no live pane to attach to.
+
+- **Native Windows is supported.** Previously unsnooze printed *"native Windows
+  is not supported; run inside WSL"* and ran your CLI unwatched. Two things
+  were broken beneath that: the StopFailure hook command was POSIX
+  (`test -f …`), which cmd.exe has no `test` for, so the hook failed on every
+  turn; and the shell wrapper only ever reached `~/.zshrc` and `~/.bashrc`,
+  files a PowerShell user does not have — so nothing routed through unsnooze in
+  the first place. Both are fixed, the daemon autostarts from a logon-triggered
+  Scheduled Task, and `unsnooze doctor` stops reporting wrappers as missing
+  when they are installed. WSL remains the richer option.
+
+- **A server throttle is no longer mistaken for your usage limit.** Claude Code
+  says *"API Error: Server is temporarily limiting requests (not your usage
+  limit)"* — and `usage limit` matched the parenthetical. Since the TUI never
+  clears old banners from scrollback, any stale *"resets 3pm"* nearby was enough
+  to turn a throttle that clears in seconds into an hours-long scheduled wait.
+  It is now read as what it is and handled on the transient overload ladder.
+
+- **Non-resetting Claude stops are notified, not scheduled.** The claude adapter
+  gained the `terminalPatterns` every other adapter already had. An expired
+  Claude Design credential and an exhausted credit balance are stops no amount
+  of waiting clears, so unsnooze says so once instead of booking a wake and
+  burning the attempt cap. This matters most for unattended runs: a revived
+  headless session has no interactive terminal, so `/design-login` cannot even
+  be offered there. All patterns are anchored to the CLI's real error phrasings
+  rather than to the bare command name, so an agent explaining `/design-login`
+  is not a stop.
+
+- **Claude's own auto-continue is recognised, not raced.** Claude Code shipped
+  in-process auto-continue on 2026-08-14 (desktop; the CLI carries it behind a
+  gate that currently defaults off). unsnooze was already guarded — every resume
+  path checks whether the session moved on its own, and the 60s reset margin
+  means Claude gets there first — but a session that woke itself was recorded
+  identically to one unsnooze woke, so the deliberate stand-aside was invisible.
+  Records now carry who resumed them and `unsnooze status` says *"resumed itself
+  (unsnooze stood aside)"*. Note the native feature covers only the 5-hour
+  limit: weekly stops, closed apps, headless boxes and every non-Claude CLI
+  remain unsnooze's job.
+
+- **`launchExtraArgs.<agent>`.** The launch-side twin of `resumeExtraArgs`, for
+  flags that must hold for a whole session rather than just a revival —
+  `unsnooze config set launchExtraArgs.claude "--autocompact 400000"` keeps a
+  context-heavy run compacting instead of stalling. Revivals inherit them, so
+  the flag survives the wake.

+## Claude Design
+
+Claude Design shares your usual 5-hour and weekly limits with chat, Cowork and
+Claude Code — so a long design run stops the same way everything else does, and
+unsnooze resumes it the same way. What it needs first is a terminal to run in.
+
+Claude Design has three surfaces. The canvas at `claude.ai/design` and the
+Claude Desktop sidebar are web apps. The third is an official MCP server that
+Claude Code drives from your terminal, and that is the one unsnooze supports:
+
+```sh
+unsnooze design setup     # registers the claude-design MCP server
+# then, inside Claude Code:
+/design-login
+unsnooze design           # confirms it is registered and signed in
+```
+
+For long design runs, give the session room to compact rather than stall:
+
+```sh
+unsnooze config set launchExtraArgs.claude "--autocompact 400000"
+```
+
+**unsnooze does not automate the web canvas, and will not.** Anthropic's
+Consumer Terms bar accessing Claude "through automated or non-human means,
+whether through a bot, script, or otherwise", and accounts have been terminated
+for it. Claude Code is the documented exemption — which is exactly what
+unsnooze drives. A browser-driving "Design adapter" is not a missing feature
+here; it is one this project declines.
+
+Two things worth knowing:
+
+- A signed-out `/design-login` is **not** a usage limit. Waiting will never
+  clear it, so unsnooze reports it separately instead of letting it look like a
+  stop that will resolve itself.
+- Design used to have its own weekly allowance. It does not now — everything
+  draws from one shared pool, which is why `unsnooze usage` already accounts
+  for design work without knowing it is design work.

+
+### Watching without a multiplexer
+
+A terminal pane is only one of unsnooze's three detection channels. The Claude
+Code **StopFailure hook** and the **session transcript watcher** need no pane at
+all — which is what makes native Windows, bare servers and CI work.
+
+When no multiplexer is installed, `multiplexer: auto` resolves to `headless`:
+
+| | with tmux/Zellij/herdr | `headless` |
+|---|---|---|
+| detects limit stops | pane scrape + hook + transcript | hook + transcript |
+| resumes at reset | yes | yes |
+| answers Claude's limit menu | yes | no |
+| waits out a busy pane | yes | no |
+| revived session | live pane you can attach to | detached process, output in `~/.unsnooze/headless/` |
+
+`headless` is never chosen ahead of a real multiplexer — only when none is
+installed, or when you ask for it with
+`unsnooze config set multiplexer headless`. If you want the full behaviour on
+Windows, WSL is still the better home.
+
+### Windows
+
+Native Windows works: PowerShell wrappers, a cmd-safe StopFailure hook, and a
+logon-triggered Scheduled Task for the daemon. Install as usual and run
+`unsnooze doctor` to confirm.
 
-### Windows / WSL
+Two honest caveats. The daemon is started at logon but not restarted if it
+dies — Task Scheduler is not a supervisor the way launchd and systemd are — so
+after upgrading unsnooze, log out and back in (or run `unsnooze daemon`
+yourself). And stored-password fleet hosts still need Git-for-Windows or WSL
+`ssh`; native `ssh.exe` requires an `.exe` askpass helper unsnooze does not yet
+ship.
