The voice runs on your own machine, so there is nothing to meter. The first run downloads it, about 340 MB.

If you run gstack from Codex or Cursor, its browser skills stopped with an error saying Playwright wasn't installed, even when it was. They now use the Playwright in your gstack checkout, so they start again.

Codex, Cursor and the other hosts had two more gaps. The question-preference helper couldn't find two of its own scripts. And on Windows, /review and /ship stopped before they started.

Setup now copies the files these hosts were missing

Brain sync used to skip files git calls binary, so an AWS key inside a UTF-16 note got pushed. It now reads those files, catches a key split across two lines, and decodes JSON escapes. A pre-commit hook from an older gstack needs refreshing.

Brain sync now catches secrets in files git calls binary

UTF-16 and NUL-byte files are scanned as text

A key on the line under its keyword is caught, in UTF-16 too

JSON \u escapes are decoded before the scan

A pre-commit hook from an older gstack needs a refresh.

Uninstall used to check only the top-level worktrees, so one nested inside another was deleted along with its edits. It now checks every checkout in every folder it removes, and checks again after you confirm.
Slide text

gstack-uninstall stops before it deletes unsaved work

Nested worktrees inside a lane are checked too

Locked worktrees stop it, even with --force-worktrees

Every host’s install and ~/.gstack are checked first

Exit 2, nothing removed, and the checkout named.

When a fix-check finds a new critical issue, your ruling now lets /ship finish, with the finding listed as an open note in the pull request. A follow-up review that starts after a docs commit now counts too.

The sealed-output guard held a whole patch in memory, so a pull request with about 4 million lines of fixtures was always refused. It now reads one line at a time from a temporary file, which needs free disk space about the size of the patch.

If you run gstack from Codex or Cursor, I'd update today to get the browser skills back. On Claude Code, the secret scan alone makes it worth taking. The full notes are in the gstack changelog.
