Changelog

All notable changes to roborev, grouped by minor release.

0.38

2026-02-26

New features

  • Kilo agent support via the kilo CLI.
  • roborev wait accepts multiple job IDs in a single command.

Improvements

  • TUI task view supports mouse interactions (click to select, double-click to view).
  • roborev update manages the daemon lifecycle for smoother upgrades.
  • Updated flake.nix for current Nix packaging and release metadata.

Bug fixes

  • Use ANTHROPIC_API_KEY for the OpenCode agent in GitHub Actions workflows.
  • roborev fix skips reviews that already have a PASS verdict.

0.37

2026-02-25

Improvements

  • TUI help bar restyled with two-tone key hints and aligned columns for easier shortcut scanning.
  • Unified stream output formatting across CLI and TUI views for more consistent display.
  • Refreshed Nix flake metadata to improve Nix-based install and packaging workflows.

Bug fixes

  • Show the correct roborev version when installed via go install.

0.36

2026-02-24

New features

  • roborev tui --repo and --branch flags to launch the TUI pre-filtered to a specific repository or branch. Without a value, each flag resolves to the current repo/branch. With = syntax (e.g. --repo=/path/to/repo, --branch=feature-x), the value is used directly. When set via flags, the filter is locked and cannot be changed in the TUI.
  • Inline fix panel in the TUI review view: press F while viewing a review to open a fix prompt at the bottom of the screen instead of a full-screen modal. Tab toggles focus between the review content and the fix input. Enter submits, Esc cancels.
  • Shell completions for --agent and --reasoning flags across all commands that accept them (init, review, run, fix, analyze, refine).
  • OpenCode JSON stream support: the OpenCode agent now uses --format json for structured JSONL output, integrated into the unified stream formatter for consistent progress rendering.
  • CI repository matching with wildcard patterns and exclusion lists. ci.repos entries now support glob patterns (e.g. "myorg/*", "myorg/api-*") using path.Match syntax. New exclude_repos field filters out matching repos, and max_repos (default: 100) caps the total expanded count. Wildcard results are cached for one hour.

Improvements

  • TUI help bar uses table-based rendering for consistent column alignment across all views.
  • Refreshed project dependencies and Nix flake packaging updates.

Bug fixes

  • --all-branches now implies --unaddressed on roborev fix and roborev refine, removing the need to pass both flags.
  • Patch application in git worktrees resolves the correct worktree path via git worktree list, fixing failures when the branch is checked out in a non-default worktree location.
  • Temporary command execution uses explicit file sync and retry with exponential backoff to prevent intermittent text file busy (ETXTBSY) races on Linux.

0.35

2026-02-23

New features

  • Shell completion for roborev analyze command types: tab-complete analysis type names (e.g. roborev analyze <TAB> suggests refactor, complexity, etc.).
  • Persistent job logs: agent output is written to ~/.roborev/logs/jobs/ as NDJSON so review activity survives daemon restarts.
  • Unified log viewer: roborev log <job-id> renders stored job output on the CLI, and pressing l in the TUI opens a scrollable log viewer with live polling for running jobs. roborev log clean removes old log files.

Improvements

  • Test and production runtime data are isolated so go test runs do not pollute ~/.roborev/ logs or interfere with the production daemon.
  • CLI and TUI streaming output uses gutter-grouped tool calls, markdown text wrapping, and Codex reasoning item rendering for clearer review progress.
  • Updated Nix flake packaging metadata.

Bug fixes

  • Handle empty Git refs when fixing compact review jobs to prevent fix-flow failures. The server resolves a usable ref from the parent job’s branch or falls back to HEAD, and the TUI shows a confirmation modal when no ref is available.

0.34

2026-02-22

New features

  • roborev ci review: daemon-free batch reviews for CI pipelines with auto-detection of GitHub Actions environment variables (GITHUB_REPOSITORY, GITHUB_REF, GITHUB_EVENT_PATH).
  • roborev init gh-action: generates a GitHub Actions workflow file with SHA256-verified roborev installation and agent setup.
  • TUI fix jobs: press F on a completed review to launch a background fix in an isolated worktree. New Tasks view (T) for managing fix jobs and applying patches.
  • CI poller auto-clone: repos in ci.repos no longer require a local roborev init checkout. The poller clones them automatically to ~/.roborev/clones/.
  • Quota-aware agent cooldown: agents that hit hard quota limits enter a timed cooldown (default 30 min) with automatic failover to backup agents. CI comments show “skipped (quota)” instead of “failed”.
  • Daemon activity logging for better operational visibility.

Improvements

  • Review verdicts are stored for reuse in later review workflows.

Bug fixes

  • Fix jobs now create worktrees at the reviewed commit instead of HEAD, preventing patches against the wrong revision.
  • Database migration no longer crashes on databases with quoted table names from prior ALTER TABLE migrations.
  • Missing git origin remote treated as confirmed mismatch for auto-clone instead of a transient error.
  • Fixed a data race between WorkerPool.Start and WorkerPool.Stop.

0.33

2026-02-17

New features

  • roborev compact command to verify and consolidate unaddressed review findings, reducing false positives and merging related findings from multiple reviews into a single consolidated review.
  • Backup-agent failover: automatically retry failed jobs with a secondary agent when the primary fails (e.g. fall back to Claude Code when Codex rate-limits).
  • GitHub commit status checks: the CI poller posts pending/success/failure statuses on PR commits when GitHub App auth is configured.
  • Ref-aware configuration: the CI poller reads .roborev.toml from the PR branch’s git ref, so configuration can vary by branch.
  • --label flag on roborev run for custom labels displayed in the TUI.

Improvements

  • Consolidated review guidelines for more consistent review output across commands.
  • Hardened CI and hook workflows for more reliable automated runs.

Bug fixes

  • Post-rewrite hook preserves review history across rebases by remapping commit SHAs when patch content is unchanged.
  • Skip hook upgrade checks in CI mode to avoid CI interruptions.

0.32

2026-02-16

New features

  • roborev wait command to block until a review job completes, improving scripting and CI flows.

  • Unified TUI tree filter with lazy branch loading, search, and current-directory prioritization.

Improvements

  • Improved TUI hint bar to make available actions clearer.
  • Removed the hardcoded OpenCode model so model selection follows your configuration.
  • Updated flake.nix to v0.31.1 for Nix-based setups.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed TUI Cursor cancel behavior and corrected addressed-stats display.
  • Fixed agent prompt handling on Windows to avoid the 32KB command-line limit.
  • Fixed refine loops so git hook failures no longer break execution.
  • Stripped CLAUDECODE when spawning the claude-code agent to prevent environment leakage.

0.31

2026-02-11

New features

  • roborev config subcommands (get, set, list) for viewing and managing configuration from the CLI.
  • --branch <name> flag on roborev analyze and explicit branch names in roborev review --branch.

Improvements
