Tasks, companies, contacts, and attachments now have full v2 REST and MCP coverage. The new /mcp/agent endpoint wraps Shelley conversations as task envelopes so clients can send messages, poll status, and cancel work programmatically.

• /mcp/agent with agent_send_message, agent_get_task, agent_cancel_task, agent_list_tasks, and agent_get_card
• v2 REST and MCP for tasks, companies, contacts, and attachments under crm.* and task.* scopes
• Cursor pagination with a 256KB response cap on every list endpoint

A new /chats page lets you search every agent conversation. Tasks now link back to the chat that's working on them — the home Do-button reads "Continue chat" once an agent has been kicked off.

• First Do-button click opens a new chat and saves its URL into the task's notes
• Subsequent clicks re-open that conversation labeled "Continue chat"
• Scheduled-job chats hide from the recent sidebar but remain accessible at /chats

Tasks now show whether their related company exists in the CRM, and avatars fall back to source logos when no contact image is available. A favicon backfill filled in 275 of 310 missing company logos.

• Green "✓ In CRM" or red "✗ Not in CRM" badge on every task with a related company; toggle in profile settings
• Avatar precedence is contact → company → source logo → initials, consistent across home v1, v2, and v3
• backfill-logos command fetches missing favicons via Google's s2 service

The task detail page got a flat layout, color-coded status and priority badges, and a human-readable activity feed. Subtasks now render as compact home-page rows you can check off inline.

• Key info section: status, priority, category, labels, owner, related contacts, source links, project, and due date
• Activity feed shows readable changes ("Changed status from done to todo") instead of raw JSON
• Subtasks render as feed rows with checkbox toggle, ID link, and priority badges

/home is now a single feed of every active task with source favicons, next-action labels, and rich filters. The same enrichment runs across home and project pages.

• Multiselect filters for next action, category, status, priority, and source
• Real Gmail, Calendar, Slack, and Granola favicons replace the generic source pill
• Time-of-day greeting in the header replaces the static "All tasks" label

The home emails panel groups into Important, Overdue, and Promotions, with five sections — reply, todo, remind, monitor, and review. Each row shows the right person: sender for reply, recipient for todo, owner for monitor.

• Cold inbound section for unreplied dealflow pitches
• Names, avatars, and companies resolve from contact records with email-display-name fallback
• Newsletters and promotions filter via Gmail's List-Unsubscribe header

Housecat engineers can now view a customer's app as that customer through a temporary magic link. Sessions are read-only by default and every action is recorded in the audit trail.

• CLI command generates a 30-minute access link; engineer signs in with their @housecat.com account
• Persistent amber banner shows admin and customer emails with an exit button
• Token generation restricted to localhost; tokens redacted from request logs

Email classification now handles delegation, newsletter filtering, and category tagging. The home emails panel shows a category badge and a one-sentence description on every row.

• Newsletters and promotions filter via Gmail's List-Unsubscribe header with body-text fallback
• Delegation rules track threads handed off to teammates or an EA
• Classification results saved to a dedicated table per thread

Reply to Slack threads from the messages view, send approval requests with approve/deny buttons, and route the responses back into agent conversations. Inbound email also flows through a new Resend webhook.

• Slack reply, approval requests, and routed responses
• Resend webhook endpoint at /webhooks/resend stores incoming email as messages
• Housecat logo avatar on bot messages in Slack views

The home dashboard now runs on configurable section definitions instead of hardcoded queries. Each stat card shows the SQL it ran behind a code icon, and emails filter and sort sensibly out of the box.

• ListHomeTasks, ListHomeMeetings, and ListHomeEmails take SectionConfig structs — match by project name, label, or both
• Emails section excludes done and cancelled, sorts waiting items by longest wait first
• Meetings stat card shows "X done, Y upcoming"; a Next Week section appears starting Thursdays

v2 brings a SQL API, an OpenAPI-driven hc CLI, and JSON endpoints across every resource. The CLI no longer queries the database directly — it goes through the API like every other client.

• /api/v2/db/execute and /api/v2/db/query provide raw SQL access with struct-level validation
• hc CLI auto-generated from the OpenAPI spec
• JSON endpoints for projects, tasks, jobs, labels, companies, and contacts

Slack messages now flow into Housecat through a verified webhook, with a threaded viewer that drills into provider-specific UIs. Click out to open any message in Gmail or Slack directly.

• Slack webhook endpoint with Standard Webhooks signature verification
• Threaded message viewer with cursor pagination and reply counts
• Color Slack and Gmail brand icons; external "Open in Gmail" / "Open in Slack" links

Your home screen is now a weekly dashboard showing tasks, meetings, and outbound in one view. Meetings display in your local timezone and tasks can be checked off inline.

• Drag to reorder tasks, click to mark done, and see priority and due dates at a glance
• Companies and contacts with roles, emails, and phone numbers

Create calendar events as drafts before sending invites, and send emails with file attachments. Draft events let you review attendees and details before notifying anyone.

• Draft calendar events with "Drafted with Housecat" branding, convert to real invites when ready
• Send and receive email attachments through Gmail tools

VMs now get custom domains automatically and the management page has been redesigned with quick-access links. Public app users can sign in through a simplified Login with Housecat flow.

• Each VM gets a name.vm.housecat.io domain on creation
• One-click links to open App, Agent, VSCode, or Zed on any VM
• Public/private toggle and access summary directly on VM cards

Outgoing Slack messages, emails, and calendar invites now include a "Sent with Housecat" footer linking back to your app. You can turn this off in your user settings.

• Footer links to the app that sent the message
• Toggle branding on or off per user
• Auto-detects HTML vs plain text for Gmail formatting

• Refresh from Attio button loads current data before editing
• Notes are only re-created when content has actually changed

A VS Code-based editor is now available inside the app at /code, with your app navigation and sidebar intact. For a distraction-free experience, /vscode opens fullscreen.

• Edit files without leaving the Housecat app
• Sidebar and navbar stay accessible while editing
• Accounts are automatically provisioned with home directories on first login

Fixed issues where AI clients couldn't call Gmail and Slack tools due to mismatched parameter names. Every tool call now includes a request ID for easier debugging.

• Gmail parameters normalized to snake_case (e.g. message_id instead of messageId)
• Slack channel parameter renamed for consistency across all tools
• Request IDs returned on every tool call response for tracing

The new Connections page lets you connect Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Slack, Granola, and Notion with one click. Each connection comes with MCP tools your AI agent can use.

• 34 MCP tools across Gmail, Slack, Calendar, Drive, Granola, and Notion
• Three permission levels — read, draft, and write — so you control what the agent can do
• Tokens refresh automatically so connections stay active
