Brief owners
A brief that belongs to everyone gets done by no one. You can now assign an owner to any brief, and pass it on as the work moves. The new owner is notified the brief is theirs to carry.

Routine suggestions from chat
Every Friday you ask Hamster to summarize what shipped and post it to Slack. Now it spots the repeat and offers to save it as a routine, prefilled from your conversation.

Improvements
Paste a link to a tool you have not connected, like Linear, and Hamster offers to connect it for better context
Stop a response mid-stream and edit your prompt before sending again
Briefs and initiatives you mention in chat now show their live status, so you know where they stand without leaving the thread
Update the status or owner of many briefs, initiatives, or goals at once, instead of one at a time
Filter any list by owner to see what is on a teammate's plate
See and edit all of an initiative's properties from one row, its status, owner, dates, and linked goal in one place
Assign a brief's owner without leaving the initiative it lives under
Upload Excel spreadsheets as context
Disable or archive a GitHub repo and Hamster stops drawing answers from it
Briefs created from Slack keep the images from the message and thread
Set or clear a brief's linked initiative right from Slack
Bug Fixes
Setting up and reconnecting your tools no longer stalls partway or fails on a retry
Two-way sync keeps your formatting and stops creating duplicate Confluence pages
The Skills library page no longer crashes on load
Editing a document holds together again, your changes apply, render cleanly, and you can accept or reject each one
Chatting no longer spawns duplicate briefs or blueprints, or a false "changes need review" prompt
Blueprints that would not delete now delete, and a failed blueprint page no longer reloads in a loop
Hamster finishes its answers instead of giving up, going blank, or repeating itself
Files you upload in chat stay put, and task updates from chat go through
Media no longer flickers while a response streams
New accounts open to the welcome prompts instead of a blank chat
