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.

Routine suggestions from chat
Every Friday you ask Hamster to summarize what shipped and post it to Slack. Now it offers to save that as a routine the moment it spots the repeat.
The form arrives prefilled from your conversation. Tweak a field and save instead of building it from scratch.

Improvements
- Paste a link to a tool you have not connected, like Linear, and Hamster offers to connect it for better context. Learn more about connections
- Stop a response mid-stream and edit your prompt before sending again
- References to your briefs and initiatives in chat now show their live status, and a post from a routine links back to the routine that sent it
- You can now select multiple briefs, initiatives, or goals to set status or owner at once, and filter any list by owner
- Initiative properties now sit in one row, the same as a brief
- See and assign each brief's owner from inside an initiative
- You can now upload Excel spreadsheets as context
- Disable or archive a GitHub repo and Hamster stops drawing answers from it
- Briefs created from Slack now keep the images from the message and thread
- You can now set or clear a brief's linked initiative from Slack
Bug Fixes
- Fixed Jira and Confluence stalling mid-approval, reconnecting Linear failing, an API key landing in the wrong field, and an already-connected app showing a vague error
- Fixed two-way sync dropping rich formatting like colours and tables, adding duplicate Confluence pages, and failing after an integration was disconnected and reconnected
- Fixed the Skills library page crashing on load
- Fixed document edits you could not accept or reject, tables and code blocks showing blank in the diff preview, edits sometimes not applying, and links not being clickable in briefs and documents
- Fixed duplicate briefs or blueprints created when you kept chatting, and a needless "changes need review" message on normal edits
- Fixed older blueprints that would not delete, and a blueprint page reloading in a loop after it failed to load
- Fixed Hamster giving up on a request it could have completed, and replying blank or repeating words instead of finishing
- Fixed uploaded files disappearing from chat without showing why, and task updates from chat failing
- Fixed clips and images flickering while a response streamed
- Fixed new accounts opening to a blank chat instead of the welcome prompts
- Fixed the team invite button needing a refresh to appear
