v1.5.8 Stable
released this
2026-09-11 09:49:21 +00:00 | 223 commits to main since this releaseFollow-up to v1.5.7, which stopped the self-update from killing a systemd-managed dashboard. This release cleans up the residue an already-interrupted update left behind, and makes it visible.
Fixed
A systemd unit left pointing at a retired plugin version now repairs itself.
This is the quietest failure in the whole chain: the server is running,
/agenthub-doctorreads OK on every row, and the unit still names a plugin cache directory Claude Code deleted during the update. Nothing surfaces it — until a reboot, when the dashboard does not come back and nothing recorded why.The bootstrap's fast path now rejects that state, so the next Claude Code session repairs the unit instead of short-circuiting past it.
unitIsStaleis deliberately pure filesystem work: the fast path runs on every singleSessionStartand may not spawn a process.Two things it carefully does not do:
- Repairing the unit is not restarting the server. When the running server is current and healthy, the corrected unit is left to take effect at the next start. Restarting a working dashboard to fix a file that only matters at boot is churn the user feels for nothing.
- A stale unit alone never starts a second server. The detached-spawn fallback is now guarded, so it cannot spawn onto a port the live server already holds.
An installed-but-stopped unit no longer counts as owning the server. Ownership now requires the unit to be active. Treating a stopped unit as the owner skipped the stop and then asked systemd to start a server onto an occupied port — a crash loop, courtesy of the
Restart=alwaysadded in 1.5.7.Added
/agenthub-doctorreports systemd. A new row,WARNand neverFAIL:- the unit names a previous plugin version — says plainly that the dashboard will not come back after a reboot, and gives the fix;
- the unit is installed but not running;
- a unit that AgentHub did not write is reported and left untouched;
- no unit at all is reported as fine — a plugin install without
agenthub service installis a normal setup where the server starts per session.
Notes
Machines already stuck from before 1.5.7 still need one manual bootstrap run — the stuck install is the thing that would otherwise apply the fix. See the v1.5.7 notes. After that, both the update path and the stale-unit path are self-healing.
