# Overseer v0.1.3 Release Notes

Overseer `v0.1.3` is the release where the product starts looking less like a chat shell and more like an agent-native workspace. It also pushes the Windows desktop operator closer to something you can trust in repeated use instead of only demo once.

## Highlights

- Artifacts are now first-class outputs that can be inspected, selected, reopened, and reused across follow-up tasks.
- Work items now act as explicit tracked units of work for humans and agents instead of loose instructions buried in chat.
- Persistent workspace sessions let artifact and work-item surfaces stay open in the main pane.
- Windows desktop control now leans further into selector-first UI Automation flows, app hints, blocked diagnostics, and post-action verification.

## Operator Notes

- Native local tasks like screenshots, app launch, file inspection, and some accessibility-driven actions now survive more model-backend outages through local fast paths.
- UIA selector misses now fail clearly with retryable diagnostics, candidate hints, and search-scope details.
- Public packaged release availability is still Windows-first, while macOS and Linux remain source-build paths for now.
