+# Noah Code v0.4.0
+
+This release makes Noah's coding harness easier to follow and more capable during complex,
+long-running work. It adds a live work ledger, independent persistent terminal sessions, richer
+multi-agent collaboration, and substantial prompt and cache-efficiency improvements.
+
+## Live coding UX
+
+- Added an F4 work ledger that surfaces active subagents, terminal sessions, background jobs, and
+  recent activity without interrupting the main conversation.
+- Added `/work` and `/terminals` commands for quickly inspecting current agent activity and shell
+  state.
+- Removed internal completion-summary rows from the transcript so user messages and useful agent
+  output remain the focus.
+- Replaced verbose checkpoint-saved text with a compact status icon.
+
+## Independent terminal sessions
+
+- Added multiple named, persistent terminal sessions. Each session keeps its own working directory,
+  environment, process state, and output history.
+- Added predictable session lifecycle controls for creating, selecting, restarting, and closing
+  terminals while preserving isolation between sessions.
+- Preserved Noah's permission and checkpoint protections for terminal commands, blocked unsafe raw
+  input paths, and kept output ordering deterministic.
+
+## Multi-agent collaboration
+
+- Added visible lifecycle tracking for delegated tasks, including queued, running, completed, and
+  failed work.
+- Added collaboration primitives for parallel fan-out and lead-agent synthesis, with bounded result
+  condensation to keep parent contexts focused.
+- Improved coordination safety by allowing concurrent read-only work while serializing conflicting
+  writers.
+
+## Prompt and cache efficiency
+
+- Reworked the main system prompt into a smaller, Noah-specific cacheable contract and isolated
+  helper-model calls from the main conversation history.
+- Added per-session and per-route cache namespaces, cache-prefix telemetry, selective memory
+  distillation, and a 64k context ceiling.
+- Added a prompt scorecard for catching token regressions. Measured main-prompt size dropped by
+  about 41%, while common helper routes dropped by roughly 90%.
+
+## Reliability and validation
+
+- Expanded tests for terminal isolation, agent collaboration, permission handling, context
+  compaction, cache routing, TUI activity rendering, and session lifecycle behavior.
+- Hardened terminal teardown and restart paths so independent sessions do not leak state or leave
+  managed processes behind.
+
+## Upgrade
+
+Existing managed installations can run:
+
+```bash
+noah update
+```
+
+New installations can use the one-command installer from the README.

+# Noah Code v0.4.1
+
+This release makes Noah's terminal interface easier to learn, calmer during long-running work,
+and more reliable across supported platforms.
+
+## Guided and discoverable UX
+
+- Added first-run onboarding that detects missing model configuration and guides users through
+  provider setup instead of stopping at an error.
+- Added a searchable, context-aware keyboard help overlay with shortcuts for the currently focused
+  panel.
+- Streamlined slash-command discovery into one flat list, removed duplicate command entries, and
+  kept labels focused on the commands themselves.
+- Added `/continue` session selection for the ten most recent sessions in the current workspace.
+- Added automatic update notices with the appropriate upgrade command.
+
+## Clearer long-running work
+
+- Added tool-aware progress with elapsed time and concise counts for searches and other operations.
+- Added a collapsible task timeline for thinking, tool calls, retries, approvals, and validation
+  without adding noise to the transcript.
+- Added context visibility for active files, instructions, project memory, and attachments.
+- Added queue management for pending prompts and attachments, expandable error details, safer undo
+  confirmation, and compact completion receipts.
+
+## Faster, steadier TUI
+
+- Reworked the working indicator into a continuous left-to-right animation with isolated 80 ms
+  loader updates, while elapsed status refreshes remain throttled separately.
+- Added reduced-motion support and semantic states for thinking, running tools, waiting for input or
+  approval, cancelling, and errors.
+- Improved live-output following so users can inspect earlier output while new-line counts remain
+  visible and can jump back to the latest output on demand.
+- Avoided unnecessary full-screen redraws that caused flashing and visual instability.
+
+## Reliability
+
+- Made common search and read requests accept familiar paths, regex arguments, and content helper
+  forms more consistently.
+- Hardened loader shutdown against timer/widget teardown races found on Intel macOS CI.
+- Added a direct-child termination fallback when macOS denies an owned process-group signal.
+- Stabilized asynchronous TUI validation across Linux, Apple-silicon macOS, and Intel macOS.
