Pacenote v0.5.8

Finished tasks now say how they ended, so the next task like them starts with what happened last time. Code tasks open in the terminal you use, and continuing a session from a task is easier to spot.

brew update && brew upgrade --cask pacenote

The upgrade quits the running app first and reopens it, once. Config, run history and your tasks are untouched.

After you upgrade

Restart Claude Code or Codex sessions you have open, so they get Pacenote's new wrap_up_task tool.
The first Collect now wraps up tasks you finished in the last 7 days, five at a time, so it reads a few more threads than usual.
Code tasks now open in the terminal you use. If you chose Terminal or iTerm in Settings before, that choice stays; pick Automatic to switch.

Todo

Finished tasks are wrapped up. When a collection closes a task, or finds one you marked Done in the last week, it reads the thread and writes how it ended in two or three sentences: what was done or decided and by whom, and anything left. A finished task's open row shows it on its Result line. On a new task, hover the note on its Last time line to read how the earlier one ended. Dismissed tasks get none.
Continue a session from its line with the terminal icon at the end of Last time and Your work, the same icon as the row's Continue button. Its name shows on hover and to screen readers.
A collection's detail in Runs lists the tasks it wrapped up.

Continuing work

Opens in the terminal you use. Settings > Todo > Terminal is now Automatic by default: the terminal you have open, else the one you used last. You can also choose Terminal, iTerm2 or Ghostty.
