DeepWiki Codebase Integration
The research-codebase workflow now starts by querying DeepWiki for a compressed map of your repository, making all subsequent AI research targeted instead of exploratory. All core Catalyst skills can now ask DeepWiki specific questions during execution, and oneshot workflow eliminates 16 lines of duplicate research logic by referencing the unified research process.

Monitor Command Consolidation
The start-monitor.sh script has been merged into catalyst-monitor.sh as a single entry point for all monitoring operations. Use catalyst-monitor.sh start instead of the separate bootstrap script — it now handles dependency checks, installation, and frontend building automatically before starting the monitor.

Setup Health Check System
Run /catalyst-dev:setup-catalyst to diagnose your entire Catalyst installation with 47 automated checks covering database, monitoring, secrets, and project configuration. The skill auto-fixes safe issues like missing directories and database initialization, then re-verifies everything in one command. The orchestration monitor now shows version info in the header and includes a smarter launcher that validates prerequisites and handles dependency installation automatically.

Setup & Configuration Hardening
Catalyst setup now checks for macOS platform and SQLite prerequisites before installation, automatically initializes the session database during orchestrator setup, and fixes OpenTelemetry monitor configuration to read from the correct config path. Run the setup scripts again to ensure your environment has all required dependencies.

Standalone Orchestrator Setup
The new setup-orchestrator.sh script lets you bootstrap orchestrator worktrees from Warp tabs, cron jobs, or any external automation without needing a Claude Code session. It supports ticket pass-through, quiet mode for scripting, and one-shot launch flags while maintaining full compatibility with the existing /catalyst-dev:setup-orchestrate skill. Also fixes the orchestration monitor dashboard which was showing zero orchestrators due to incorrect SSE event parsing.

Modern React Orchestration Monitor
The orchestration monitor is now a React SPA with shimmer loading, worker search/filtering, animated KPIs, and a collapsible sidebar. Code-split lazy loading reduces initial bundle size while 15+ componentized views replace the previous 4000-line vanilla JavaScript implementation. All existing orchestrator functionality (Overview, Workers, Timeline, Events tabs) works identically with improved performance and modern SaaS-style UX.

Workspace Repository Grouping
The orchestration monitor now organizes sessions by workspace and repository, automatically extracting workspace names from your project directory structure. Toggle between the new grouped workspace view and the familiar flat “All” view using the header controls. Each workspace card shows aggregate stats including total sessions, active count, costs, and last activity across all repositories in that workspace.

Polished Orchestration Monitor UI
Added keyboard navigation (j/k, Enter, Esc), command palette (/ or Cmd+K), sidebar with orchestrator list, and right-click context menus on worker rows. The interface now uses compact table styling with smooth transitions and higher information density, inspired by Linear’s design patterns.

OTel Metrics Dashboard
The orchestration monitor now includes a Metrics tab with real-time charts showing cost breakdowns, token usage, cache hit rates, and tool activity from your OpenTelemetry data. Toggle between Dashboard and Metrics views to track both workflow execution and performance analytics in one interface. Charts automatically refresh across configurable time ranges, with graceful fallback when OTel isn’t configured.

Preview Deployment Links
The orchestration monitor now detects and displays preview deployment URLs from your pull requests. Clickable badges show live deployment status with color coding (green for live, yellow for deploying, red for failed) directly in the web UI, with preview URLs also appearing in terminal output. Works automatically with Cloudflare Pages, Vercel, Netlify, and Railway by scanning PR comments and the GitHub Deployments API.
