0.3.21: finished sub-agents go in a book
0.3.21 is out. The envelope that held finished sub-agents is a little green book now. When a sub-agent finishes, the book on its session's row says how many are new. Open it and each one is a document named like a .md file, with who wrote it, how long ago and the first two lines. Read all shows what it was asked and everything it handed back.
Markdown shows the way it was written. Headings and bold read bold, code is shaded, and the marks stay in place but faint, so nothing gets eaten. A document stays new until it has been on screen for about five seconds, so it doesn't fold away while you're still reading.
Also a volume slider in Settings > Sounds, up to 125%, because the crew was too loud over a movie.
Update from the About tab in the app's settings, or brew upgrade --cask agent-valley.

keeping a document marked new until it’s been on screen for about five seconds is a small thing but it’s the kind of detail that shows you actually use this yourself. Nothing worse than a notification folding away while you’re still reading it. Does the book stay around after the session ends or does it clear out? I’d want to go back to what a sub agent handed back the next morning.
@hira_maqsood Thanks Hira. Unread ones stay in the book for 24 hours, even after the session is closed, as long as the app is still running. Once you've read one, it goes after the time set in Settings > General (10 minutes by default, 30 at most), and quitting the app clears the book too. The full hand-back isn't lost though, it's in the lead's conversation, so claude --resume on that session shows it. I ran into the restart part myself tonight, so the next version keeps the book across a restart. How long would you want a read one to stay? Until the next morning, or more like a list you can scroll back through?
@morsechimwai a list I can scroll back through for sure. I don’t always check in the next morning, so a day or two of history with read ones dimmed would cover it. nice that the restart fix is coming and good tip on claude --resume.
@hira_maqsood Took your answer and went a bit further. 0.3.26 is out today with a Library: every report a sub-agent hands back is kept until you delete the project folder, not just a day or two, and it survives a restart. Click the stack of books at the top of the panel, pick a project, and its sessions are listed newest first, with "2 new" in green on the ones you haven't read yet. Each session opens as a PDF book, one chapter per report. Thanks for asking for it.
