Summary

0.14.4 ships the changes merged since v0.14.3. The headline is Session traces in place of raw Session logs: Claude, Codex, agy, Grok, Muse and OpenCode Sessions now record correlated OTLP log records (.logs.jsonl) and spans (.spans.jsonl), with a Waterfall span tree and show --spans inspection (#1111, #1134, #1107).

New commands and views:

• show <command> --spans / --span <id> --json, paired with Console HTTP routes and the Waterfall tree, summary Peek, shared timeline and zoom (Build the Console span tree and span details #1107, Spec: Session traces, OTLP JSON Lines in place of Session logs #1111).
• Export carries the complete Command Trace with record-derived Command / Run / stage ancestry and exported OTLP span parents matching CLI/Console (Spec: Session traces, OTLP JSON Lines in place of Session logs #1111).

What changes for someone running thirdshift:

• Session recording replaces raw <session>.jsonl with <session>.logs.jsonl plus <session>.spans.jsonl; the Command record's session_log points at .logs.jsonl. Raw Session-log readers, the Waterfall's Command-log matcher and the one-time converter (logs --convert) are retired; retained original-path references resolve to converted traces. Malformed Harness bytes are retained in OTLP byte bodies and shown as escaped diagnostics. Conversation, byte-offset streaming, latest-event show, Silent, heartbeat and inventory use the log-records file. Codex apply_patch diffs come from Codex's own retained session files and are marked as such. Optional OTLP/HTTP sending is best effort; Security Sessions stay local and behind Console sign-in. Command logs and Activity logs keep their names (Spec: Session traces, OTLP JSON Lines in place of Session logs #1111, Replace raw Session logs with Session traces #1134).
• Waterfall grows a foldable Command → Runs → stages → Sessions → calls / sub-agents span tree with lazy Session expansion, slowest-call ranking, keyboard navigation and a summary Peek at laptop and 390 px widths, preserving live browsing state and existing Command details; recorded Session totals take precedence over children's repeated usage. A selected span stays visible when the sticky axis pins above the phone Peek (Build the Console span tree and span details #1107, Spec: Session traces, OTLP JSON Lines in place of Session logs #1111, Use Ticket run labels in output and the Console #1149).
• Plain names: human displays say Ticket run / dispatched Ticket run / Ticket run with Self-merge / Failed ticket run, Architect runs every few minutes, Security runs on a schedule with fixing allowed; Self-merge is an option of a Ticket run. Stored Run kinds, Activity-log values, span JSON and status --json/show record values keep Run. Setup questions, User config comments, notifications, GitHub closing comments, Base fix text, failure-preservation commits and quoted manual output use the new labels; ADR 0022 records the split and old README/manual links still resolve (Spec: Plain names, from the Ticket run to the homepage #1148, Use Ticket run names throughout agent-facing documentation #1147, Use Ticket run labels in output and the Console #1149).
• Idle Console replaces its four fast polling loops with change-driven updates from filesystem changes, process exits and elapsed boundaries, bounded caches for unchanged retained files, 60s recovery with metadata and account-expiry checks, and session last-use writes at most once per minute, preserving Theme fonts and unsubmitted Lanes filters and updates across atomic saves, replaced log roots, macOS canonical paths and external Session traces (Fix idle Console CPU and IO with change-driven updates #1160).
• scripts/release.sh stamps every release: progress line with the local HH:MM:SS time; other programs' passed-through lines stay unstamped (Stamp the release script's progress lines with the local time #1159).

Also: site updates for the plain-names homepage, How it works, Architecture and share card, including five workflows and the logged-in-agents opening (#1154).
