Session Detail Drawer
Click any session in the sidebar or dashboard to open a detailed inspector with status, elapsed time, cost metrics, and PR information. The drawer follows the same pattern as worker inspection, with mutual exclusion between session and orchestrator views. Sessions now show visual selection states with accent highlighting in the sidebar and borders on dashboard cards.

Worker Detail Drawer & Session Tracking
Click any worker row in the orchestration monitor to open a live detail panel with metrics, phase timeline, and activity feed. Standalone Claude sessions are now tracked automatically via catalyst-claude.sh, appearing in the sidebar with real-time status indicators. Run catalyst-db.sh migrate after updating to add the new session columns.

DeepWiki Codebase Integration
The research-codebase workflow now starts by querying DeepWiki for a compressed map of your repository, making all subsequent AI research targeted instead of exploratory. All core Catalyst skills can now ask DeepWiki specific questions during execution, and oneshot workflow eliminates 16 lines of duplicate research logic by referencing the unified research process.

Monitor Command Consolidation
The start-monitor.sh script has been merged into catalyst-monitor.sh as a single entry point for all monitoring operations. Use catalyst-monitor.sh start instead of the separate bootstrap script — it now handles dependency checks, installation, and frontend building automatically before starting the monitor.

Setup Health Check System
Run /catalyst-dev:setup-catalyst to diagnose your entire Catalyst installation with 47 automated checks covering database, monitoring, secrets, and project configuration. The skill auto-fixes safe issues like missing directories and database initialization, then re-verifies everything in one command. The orchestration monitor now shows version info in the header and includes a smarter launcher that validates prerequisites and handles dependency installation automatically.

Setup & Configuration Hardening
Catalyst setup now checks for macOS platform and SQLite prerequisites before installation, automatically initializes the session database during orchestrator setup, and fixes OpenTelemetry monitor configuration to read from the correct config path. Run the setup scripts again to ensure your environment has all required dependencies.

Standalone Orchestrator Setup
The new setup-orchestrator.sh script lets you bootstrap orchestrator worktrees from Warp tabs, cron jobs, or any external automation without needing a Claude Code session. It supports ticket pass-through, quiet mode for scripting, and one-shot launch flags while maintaining full compatibility with the existing /catalyst-dev:setup-orchestrate skill. Also fixes the orchestration monitor dashboard which was showing zero orchestrators due to incorrect SSE event parsing.

Modern React Orchestration Monitor
The orchestration monitor is now a React SPA with shimmer loading, worker search/filtering, animated KPIs, and a collapsible sidebar. Code-split lazy loading reduces initial bundle size while 15+ componentized views replace the previous 4000-line vanilla JavaScript implementation. All existing orchestrator functionality (Overview, Workers, Timeline, Events tabs) works identically with improved performance and modern SaaS-style UX.

Workspace Repository Grouping
The orchestration monitor now organizes sessions by workspace and repository, automatically extracting workspace names from your project directory structure. Toggle between the new grouped workspace view and the familiar flat “All” view using the header controls. Each workspace card shows aggregate stats including total sessions, active count, costs, and last activity across all repositories in that workspace.

Polished Orchestration Monitor UI
Added keyboard navigation (j/k, Enter, Esc), command palette (/ or Cmd+K), sidebar with orchestrator list, and right-click context menus on worker rows. The interface now uses compact table styling with smooth transitions and higher information density, inspired by Linear’s design patterns.
