Release v0.13.9
Mar 20, 2026
Community-driven fixes, automatic macOS permission grants, update-safe TCC, and mobile app modernization.
Added
- Automatic macOS Permissions — when an agent has Full Disk Access, it now grants itself Screen Recording and Accessibility automatically. No manual System Settings clicks needed on managed Macs.
- Enhanced Apple Warranty — warranty coverage now pulls from richer on-device data sources for more complete coverage details.
- Mobile App Foundation — the Breeze mobile app has been rebuilt on Expo SDK 55 with React Native 0.83, laying the groundwork for upcoming mobile management features.
Improved
- macOS updates preserve permissions — the auto-updater now uses .pkg-based updates so TCC grants (Screen Recording, Accessibility, Full Disk Access) survive every update instead of being revoked.
- Older Mac support — ScreenCaptureKit is now loaded dynamically at runtime, eliminating crashes on macOS 12 and 13. A CoreGraphics fallback provides screen capture on Macs where ScreenCaptureKit isn't available.
- Agent CLI now gives helpful guidance when run without sufficient permissions instead of cryptic errors.
- Agent version sync — the API now auto-populates version information from GitHub releases on startup.
Fixed
- Fixed terminal sessions disconnecting after 60 seconds of idle time.
- Fixed macOS patch installs getting stuck — increased timeout, added license auto-acceptance, and improved completion detection.
- Fixed permission status banner not updating after granting Full Disk Access.
- Fixed warranty panel showing a red error on non-Apple devices — now shows a neutral message instead.
- Fixed remote desktop helper crash on macOS 12–13 when ScreenCaptureKit isn't available.
- Fixed Script Editor opening unexpectedly when the agent checked permissions.
- Fixed TCC permission dialog routing to avoid opening Script Editor.
This release is shaped by community feedback — nine issues reported by early adopters are now resolved, alongside major improvements to macOS permissions.
The headline feature: automatic permission grants on managed Macs. When the agent has Full Disk Access, it grants itself Screen Recording and Accessibility without any manual clicks in System Settings. And those grants now survive updates — the auto-updater uses .pkg-based installs to preserve the code signature that macOS ties permissions to.
For Macs running macOS 12 or 13, we’ve eliminated the ScreenCaptureKit crash by loading the framework dynamically and falling back to CoreGraphics when it’s not available. Terminal sessions no longer drop after 60 seconds, macOS patch installs no longer get stuck, and the permission banner updates in real time when you grant access.
The mobile app has been rebuilt on a modern foundation (Expo SDK 55, React Native 0.83) in preparation for upcoming mobile features.
