A quieter desktop and safer handoffs
Dollar 1.0.3 is a focused quality update for quieter gaming and safer handoffs between local AI coding tools.
- Game Mode: Hide the pet and overlays without quitting Dollar. The local guard keeps running, and pending approvals remain pending.
- AI Highway: Review the latest 15 minutes of locally observed Agent activity as point-based traffic lanes. Codex displays official weekly quota data only—there is no five-hour estimate.
- Agent Health: See provider-specific connection, freshness, and local evidence states for Codex and Claude Code.
- Escape Pod: Create a redacted local Continuity Pack containing project state, decisions, risks, tests, a SHA-256 manifest, and a verification result.
- Presentation mode: Optionally expand Settings for walkthroughs and review. The familiar 600 × 700 window remains the default.
Continuity and diagnostic exports are created locally. They omit source code, raw prompts, raw commands, secrets, tokens, cookies, and personal paths. Dollar does not upload project content.
