Ashlr Brief.

October 26 brought releases of Locus 0.5.2, Ashlr Stack 0.2.2 and ashlr-plugin 1.37.1, plus opt-in routing in Phantom that tries local models first.

On October 25 Phantom added signed run receipts, and Ashlr's tools learned a shared handshake so each one's doctor can find and repair the others.

Start with a small task, choose how closely to steer it, and learn the few Phantom terms that matter before connecting an account.

What changes when an agent keeps working after you leave? A plain-English guide to goals, signed permissions, shadow runs and the evidence to review.

On October 16 and 17, Phantom merged first-run fixes, renamed Verse to Phantom in user-facing text, sped up the app, and added a one-gateway guide.

On October 16 and 17, Ashlr Stack added one-command agent setup, Ashlr MD hardened its agent server, and the plugin re-measured its grep savings.

On October 16 and 17, Locus and Lexicon merged dozens of fixes found by driving them like an agent would, plus Gemini CLI support in Locus.

A task in Claude Code, a review in Codex. Phantom brings coding agents into one workbench, with a place to steer the work and review what changed.

Speech-to-text gets common words right and your names wrong. Lexicon is one file of the words you say, fixed before your agent reads them.

Four bots give our CEO a manageable view of the work. Behind them are specialist agents, clear responsibilities and decisions that still stop with a person.

Which agent is working, and what needs approval? Phantom is our workbench; coordination for proactive agents is still being built.

Phantom 3.29.14 adds opt-in sleep prevention on Mac, a Devin dashboard reading that expires in two minutes, and a small coffee animation for Ash.

Phantom 3.29.11 to 3.29.13 stop treating unknown usage as zero and hold some unattended runs without billing proof. These are Ashlr releases.

On October 12, Phantom merged its 3.29.12 and 3.29.13 releases, and Phantom Secrets closed a race in device approval expiry.

On October 11, Phantom added one required check that blocks a merge if any expected test job is missing, failed, canceled or skipped by surprise.

On October 10, Phantom published versions 3.29.6 to 3.29.10. Pull requests describe a resource sidebar, a Mac installer command and faster CLI startup.

Lexicon merged a guided way to build your vocabulary from sources you pick, plus previewed community packs. It is in the code but not yet in a numbered release.

On October 8, Ashlr merged an in-app guide and new docs that explain how Phantom uses your accounts, routes work and reports results.

In two days Ashlr merged dozens of pull requests that turned Phantom (then called Verse) into a workbench with a terminal, browser, diffs and local dictation.
