The screen where you decide what an agent recommended used to open with a restated subject, a confidence number and a paragraph of reasoning, and put the email two thirds of the way down. Now the email is the first thing on the page and renders as a composer, the decision is one sticky bar, and the note beside it changes the verb. vocion-core#466.
Vocion's agents now carry typed, scoped memory — preferences, knowledge and procedures, filed per workspace, agent, user, mission or workflow. Every rule is a file a person can read and reword, approval is still the only way one is written, and approved rules finally reach the model instead of waiting to be noticed. Release notes 2026-09-16.
A workspace's voice used to be a paragraph in a prompt that nothing checked. It is now a typed rule set your workspace authors, enforced by a synchronous lint at every seam a draft can come through — the drafting model, the proposal, and the rewrite. A banned phrase costs the model one corrective retry and then fails loudly. And a phrase a reviewer cuts becomes a proposed rule. Release notes 2026-09-16 — vocion-core#370.
The morning brief used to be one markdown string a model wrote end to end, which meant every content rule — section order, whether an empty section renders, how many things may need you, whether "On track" is allowed next to "nothing ran" — was a sentence in a prompt. It is now a typed document with nine sections, an attention budget enforced in code, deltas joined against yesterday's brief, and system vocabulary moved into a footnote.

One table behind a LangGraph BaseStore, scope carried in the key, a read-only filesystem mount, and a middleware that puts approved rules on the system message. Plus the migration renumbering the release train forced, and an honest account of the one write path the gate does not structurally cover. Release notes 2026-09-16.
Release notes 2026-09-15 — vocion-core#321 (merged): an action proposal carries suggestedDecision (approve, reject, snooze); the review API filters on it; adoption pairs the human's decision with the agent's advice. A reject recommendation can hold a run back from auto-execute, never release one.
The conversation beside a page knows what page it is. Select a paragraph and ask about it, or press Do this to file a recommendation as a pending proposal. Release notes 2026-09-15 — vocion-core#329.
Vocion had no notifications at all. It has one now — four tones, a pending state with a floor under it, and a rule that nothing on a decision screen advances before the server says it did. Release notes 2026-09-15 — vocion-core#351, #348.
Release notes 2026-09-15 — the ask primitive and the Needs-you inbox (vocion-core#325, merged): approvals, rulings, merges and gates as one list with decision sheets, a recommended option, and an always-on Other.
Review and Needs you were two doors onto the same job. They are one now: one list, one detail screen, one action bar, one keyboard map — whatever kind of decision it is. Release notes 2026-09-15 — vocion-core#348.
Release notes 2026-09-15 — a set of review-queue changes on vocion-core main since v2.5x: a failed execution is named and retryable, the queue filters by card type with true counts, Regenerate is an action capability whose feedback is a learning signal, and a run is claimed before it resumes so a double click runs it once.
Every proposal in the Needs-you inbox is now described the way a person would describe it, grouped by the record it concerns, with a real age and columns that line up. Release notes 2026-09-15 — vocion-core#335, merged.
The page where you decide what an agent proposed now says what you are looking at, folds the queue behind you out of the way, and keeps the decision in a bar that never scrolls off. Release notes 2026-09-15 — vocion-core#337.
