## Summary Fusion can now ship on two release tracks. Betas are cut from `main` as `vX.Y.Z-beta.N` (npm dist-tag `beta`, GitHub prerelease), stable releases are promoted to a long-lived `release` branch and published to `latest`, and users pick their track with the new `updateChannel` global setting — via **Settings → General → Release channel** or `fn update --channel <stable|beta>`. Previously everything was single-track: every publish landed on `latest` and every update surface could only see it. | | beta | stable | |---|---|---| | Cut from | `main` | `release` branch | | Version | `X.Y.Z-beta.N` (changesets pre-mode) | `X.Y.Z` | | npm dist-tag | `beta` | `latest` | | GitHub Release | prerelease | latest | | Homebrew tap / X draft | skipped | bumped / printed | ## How releasing works now `pnpm release` prompts for the channel and **defaults to beta**, so day-to-day releases are betas; stable is always an explicit choice. Choosing stable from `main` triggers assisted promotion: the script proposes the newest beta tag reachable from HEAD, verifies `release` fast-forwards to it, then runs the whole stable release inside a temporary git worktree on `release` — the primary checkout never leaves `main`. Changesets pre-mode preserves changeset files across betas, so the promoted stable release aggregates every changeset since the last stable into one clean changelog entry. ## Design decisions - **Every publish path names an explicit `--tag`.** A beta accidentally landing on `latest` is the one unrecoverable failure of a dual-track scheme, so nothing relies on npm's implicit default (`release.mjs`, `version.yml`). - **Beta channel resolves to semver-max of `latest` and `beta`**, so beta users are offered each promoted stable once it overtakes their prerelease. Switching beta → stable never downgrades; `fn update --channel stable --force` is the explicit escape hatch. - **One comparator instead of three.** CLI, dashboard, and desktop each had their own `isRemoteNewer` that ignored prerelease identifiers — `0.73.0-beta.2`, `-beta.3`, and `0.73.0` all compared equal, which breaks the moment any beta exists. They now share full SemVer-precedence helpers (`compareVersions`, `resolveUpdateTargetVersion`) from `@fusion/core`. - **Installs pin exact versions** (`@runfusion/fusion@0.73.0-beta.2`), never a dist-tag, so an install can't silently land on the wrong track. - **Desktop channels via electron-updater manifests.** Beta tags build desktop artifacts with `publish.channel=beta` (emitting `beta*.yml`); the app sets `channel`/`allowPrerelease` from the shared setting, re-read on every manual check. - **Update caches are channel-stamped** — a cache written for one channel is never served to the other, so switching tracks takes effect on the next check instead of after TTL. ## Test plan - New unit coverage: SemVer precedence + channel resolution in `@fusion/core` (30), channel behavior of the dashboard update check (28, incl. 9 new) and `fn update` (16, incl. 8 new: persist `--channel`, no-downgrade, `--force`, cache channel mismatch). - `pnpm verify:fast` green (scoped typecheck, builds, CLI build, boot smoke); desktop + settings-section suites green. - `release.mjs` dry-run matrix exercised by hand: channel prompt (default/override/invalid), branch preflights per channel, assisted-promotion target selection, fast-forward guard against a diverged `release` branch, and bootstrap when no `release` branch exists. - Not exercised live: an end-to-end publish (needs TTY authorization + real npm publish). First real run is the first `pnpm release --channel beta`. --- [](https://github.com/EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin)  <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **New Features** * Added beta and stable release channels across CLI, dashboard, and desktop updates. * Users can select a channel via Settings or `fn update --channel <stable|beta>` (stored as a global default). * Desktop beta releases now generate beta update manifests and publish as prereleases. * **Documentation** * Expanded release-track, settings, and CLI references to explain channel semantics and workflows. * **Bug Fixes** * Updates now pin the resolved version per channel, improve version comparison, and prevent unintended cross-channel downgrades unless `--force` is used. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
@runfusion/fusion
From rough idea to production code — automatically.
Multi-node agent orchestrator — tasks, agents, missions, git, files, and worktrees, with any model, local or cloud.
runfusion.ai → · GitHub · Docs
Install
Zero install, straight from npm:
npx runfusion.ai
Boots the dashboard. Subcommands forward through (npx runfusion.ai task list, etc). Long form: npx @runfusion/fusion dashboard.
One-line installer (macOS & Linux — auto-picks Homebrew, falls back to npm):
curl -fsSL https://runfusion.ai/install.sh | sh
Homebrew (macOS & Linux):
brew install runfusion/fusion/fusion
Fully-qualified install auto-taps and, on Homebrew 6.0+, trusts only this formula. If short-name install fails with “untrusted tap”, run brew trust --formula runfusion/fusion/fusion then brew install fusion.
npm global:
npm install -g @runfusion/fusion
fn dashboard # or: fusion dashboard
Launch the dashboard
From a shell:
fn dashboard # or: fusion dashboard / npx @runfusion/fusion dashboard
fn dashboard --paused # start with automation paused
fn dashboard --dev # development-mode dashboard + AI engine
fn dashboard --no-engine # web UI only, no AI engine
The dashboard gives you:
- A live kanban board — tasks move through columns automatically as AI works on them
- Task detail view — generated spec, step-by-step progress, reviewer verdicts, full execution log
- Dependency-aware scheduling — declare task dependencies or let the engine infer them
- Auto-merge — on by default; reviewed work squash-merges without you lifting a finger
- Parallel execution — independent tasks run simultaneously in isolated git worktrees
- Self-sustaining board — agents may spawn follow-up tasks; the board feeds itself
Your entire dev environment. On a single pane of glass.
Describe a task in plain language. A triage agent reads your project, understands context, and writes a full PROMPT.md spec — steps, file scope, acceptance criteria. Then Fusion plans, reviews, executes, and reviews again, in an isolated git worktree, with a human approval gate wherever you want one.
One board. Controlled from anywhere. Laptop, Mac mini, Linux server, cloud VM, phone — all connected.
Run an agent company
Import a team. Run it autonomously for weeks. 440+ agents across 16 companies, wired for missions, mailboxes, and inter-agent delegation.

How it works
You create a task with a rough description. A pipeline of specialized agents takes over.
Specification. A triage agent reads your codebase — file structure, existing patterns, related code — and turns your rough idea into a detailed spec. It breaks the work into discrete steps, identifies which files are in scope, writes acceptance criteria, and assigns a complexity rating that determines how aggressively the work gets reviewed.
Scheduling. Tasks declare dependencies on each other. The scheduler builds a dependency graph and starts work only when upstream tasks are done. Independent tasks run in parallel — each in its own isolated git worktree, so there are no conflicts during execution.
Execution & review. An executor agent works through the spec step by step in the worktree. At each step boundary, a separate reviewer agent, with read-only access, independently evaluates the work. The reviewer can approve (continue), request revisions (fix specific issues), or force a rethink (change the approach entirely). Review depth scales with the task's complexity rating: trivial tasks get light checks, complex tasks get thorough multi-pass review.
Merge. When execution finishes and the reviewer signs off, the task moves to In Review:
- Direct merge (default) — automatically squash-merges the completed task branch into your current branch with a clean commit.
- Pull request — automatically creates or links a GitHub PR, waits for reviews/checks, then merges once policy conditions are satisfied.
autoMerge controls whether Fusion performs completion automatically. If disabled, tasks stay in In Review until you finish the merge yourself. For PR-first mode, authenticate GitHub with gh auth login.
Tasks flow through: Triage → Todo → In Progress → In Review → Done.
This execution model is heavily based on Taskplane.

Working from chat
Manage tasks without leaving the conversation:
"Every ten minutes, analyze the server code for logic the client hasn't implemented yet and create tasks. Tasks may spawn additional tasks, so just add enough to keep the board saturated."
"Create a Fusion task to fix the login redirect bug"
"Add a task for dark mode support, it depends on FN-003"
"What's the status of FN-042"
"Attach screenshot.png to FN-007"
"Pause FN-012 — I want to add more context first"
The Fusion extension exposes tools to create tasks, check progress, attach files, and pause or resume automation.
Standalone CLI
See STANDALONE.md for additional installation and usage options.
Optional provider: Factory AI via Droid CLI
@runfusion/fusion now ships a vendored @fusion/droid-cli extension in the published CLI bundle.
To use it:
- Install the
droidbinary and ensure it is on yourPATH - Authenticate with Droid CLI (
droid auth login) - In Fusion dashboard, go to Settings → Authentication and enable Factory AI — via Droid CLI
- Restart Fusion when prompted so the extension is loaded into the runtime
Once enabled, droid-cli models appear in Fusion model selection.
Maintainer note: workspace plugins in published CLI bundles
When CLI or dashboard runtime code imports workspace plugin packages (for example @fusion-plugin-examples/roadmap), those imports must stay statically analyzable and covered by packages/cli/tsup.config.ts noExternal rules so plugin runtime code is inlined into dist/bin.js.
Do not introduce dynamic or variable module specifiers for workspace plugin runtime paths in the published execution path. If a workspace plugin is needed for bundled auto-install, stage a bundled plugin entry (dist/plugins/<id>/bundled.js) rather than copying raw TypeScript source into dist/.
