Release notes: BoB 1.279.1

BoB 1.279.1 — release notes

Released: 2026-10-05 · Tag: v1.279.1 · Previous: 1.279.0 (2026-10-04)

Highlights

• Every issue number on every Control screen is a link. It opens the issue in a new tab, asks in What needs you included. (#3988)
• The Project screen’s Running list folds away. It opens by default and the browser remembers how you left it. The row for the tmux session the terminal is showing is highlighted, and the highlight moves with the terminal. (#3989)
• Drag the divider between the Project screen’s columns to give the terminal more room, or less. The terminal refits and tmux takes the new width, but only while the page is the session’s only client, so nobody else’s view reflows. A double-click resets it to half each. It is remembered per browser and works from the keyboard and by touch. (#3990)

Fixed

• Clicking a tmux session on the Project screen opens that session, not term-<project>. (#3987)
• The Ask screen names its issue first on the facts line, as a linked owner/repo#N.
• The doc-keeper drift auditor no longer turns CI and the docs-site workflow red. It is switched off until it earns its place back. (#4001)

Upgrade: every machine

Close every Claude Code window on the machine first. A deploy refuses while a session is live (it would switch off the hooks in running sessions); a refused deploy is queued and runs when the last session ends.

A laptop (dev-laptop)

bob update --to v1.279.1
bob doctor

A farm worker (farm-worker)

bob update --to v1.279.1
bob doctor
systemctl --user list-timers | grep -E 'bob-(tick|snapshot)'

The last command should list both the tick timer and the snapshot timer.

A machine (utility-host)

bob update --to v1.279.1
bob doctor

Expected: bob doctor ends green, and its version line names v1.279.1.

Upgrade: every project

In each project checkout on each machine:

cd <project> && bob ready

Expected: READY — <project> is warp-drive-ready on this machine.

Action needed

None — this release needs no one-time step.

Breaking changes

None.

Known issues

• CI on master fails its “Verify job isolation” step on the farm-01 runner. Releases do not wait for CI, so this release is unaffected. The fix is scripts/fleet/runner.sh hygiene --machine farm-01 --apply (runbook).
