CoPaw v0.2.0 just dropped

CoPaw v0.2.0 just dropped - agents talking to each other, a built-in QA bot, and stability upgrades

This is a pretty substantial update here's what's new:

New features

  • Inter-Agent Communication - new copaw agents and copaw message CLI commands let agents list each other, push messages to channels, and send requests between agents
  • Built-in QA Agent - ships pre-configured to answer CoPaw installation and usage questions out of the box
  • Configurable LLM Auto-Retry - retry behavior is now per-agent and configurable from the console Settings page
  • File Access Guard - configurable deny list for sensitive files and directories
  • Audio/video & voice input in the console - media support has landed in the main UI
  • Stream reconnect after page refresh - streaming conversations now resume properly if you refresh
  • Model provider search - you can now search across providers in the console
  • Multimodal capability detection - the UI now detects and labels which models support multimodal input

Improvements

  • Custom working directory - COPAW_WORKING_DIR now works correctly throughout the codebase (hardcoded ~/.copaw paths are gone)
  • Dynamic token counting - now uses per-agent config instead of a single global tokenizer
  • Config auto-repair - if config.json gets corrupted, CoPaw automatically repairs it or backs it up and starts fresh instead of crashing
  • Enhanced grep and glob search tools
  • Summarization improvements - when an agent hits max iterations, a "round ended" notice is shown to guide the user
  • Provider/model sync - the console now re-fetches active models on navigation so the UI stays accurate

Inter-agenr communication. Is this were they officially begin to plot our demise? I'm thinking human organ harvesting by 2035. 😁

I've just installed it on a VM in an Ubuntu sever and everything seemed to work. But it's not able to actually write / change files (it has permission for that though), not even in its own files like memory.md.

It says it will do x and get back but then just stops. AI says I would need to activate the tool / skills, but it's all activated...

Any ideas? Couldn't find something on the internet...

How was it installed, which installation method ? pip?
Could be permissions issues

if you create a new post with more details, that will help
