Hensu Server v0.1.0-beta.1 – Distributed Execution

Summary

First beta of the Hensu Server. This pre-release introduces distributed lease
management for safe multi-node execution, sub-workflow support with full
pause/resume, and a pipeline architecture built on Java 25 Virtual Threads.

Highlights

• Distributed lease management – safe concurrent async execution
  across server instances (#35)
• Sub-workflows with state persistence – hierarchical execution,
  pause/resume across restarts (#14)
• Pre/post-processor pipelines – decoupled execution lifecycle,
  extensible without touching the core loop (#18, #31)

Fixes

• GraalVM native-image deserialization for workflows and stubs (#26)
• Context shadowing prevented via typed state schema (#40)
• Rubric criteria injection ordering corrected (#44)

Internal

• Execution output delivery formalized for Loom compliance (#27)
• Agent output validation added to server pipeline (#29)
• Core test hardening and node builder standardization (#34)
• Infrastructure and security layer hardening (#16)

Hensu CLI v0.1.0-beta.1 – Daemon Mode

Summary

First beta of the Hensu CLI. The headline feature is a resident daemon with
socket activation – the CLI now stays alive between invocations, eliminating
JVM startup cost and enabling stateful interactions like human-in-the-loop review.

Highlights

• Resident daemon with socket activation – persistent engine process,
  near-instant workflow dispatch (#38)
• Interactive human review – workflows pause and request human decisions
  directly over the daemon socket (#46)
• Automatic stub detection – external stubs discovered at startup,
  no manual registration needed (#19)

Fixes

• Rubric criteria now injected into agent prompt before evaluation (#44)
• Context shadowing eliminated via typed state schema (#40)
• Workflow deserialization and stub loading fixed for GraalVM native image (#26)

Internal

• Agent output validation integrated into execution pipeline (#29)
• Reference client and core planning refactor (#36)
