CrewX 0.8.7 Release - Cron Schedules, Thread Pins & Per-Workspace Daemons

CrewX 0.8.7 brings a full-featured cron schedule manager, thread pinning and starring, per-workspace cron daemons, and one-click document copy — all from the UI, no CLI required.

🎯 Key Features

Cron Schedule Management

A complete cron scheduling UI is now built into CrewX. Create, edit, and manage your scheduled agent tasks without touching a terminal.

Key capabilities:

• Create/Edit modals — Define schedules with a visual editor
• Daemon controls — Start and stop the cron daemon directly from the UI
• Advanced expression editor — Build complex cron expressions with field-level hints and example chips
• AI-powered generation — Describe your schedule in plain language and WebLLM generates the cron expression for you
• i18n field hints — Localized labels for minute, hour, day, month, and weekday fields

Thread Pin & Star

Keep your most important conversations front and center.

• Pin threads to the top of the sidebar
• Star conversations for quick reference
• Drag-and-drop reorder pinned threads to set your own priority
• Sort order is persisted across sessions

Per-Workspace Cron Daemon

Previously a single global daemon handled all workspaces. Now each workspace runs its own isolated cron daemon with proper PID lifecycle management and workspace path filtering — no more cross-workspace interference.

Document Copy Actions

Reading documents in the document viewer just got more convenient. Two new copy buttons appear on hover:

• Copy path — Copy the document's file path to clipboard
• Copy content — Copy the full document content with one click

🔧 Bug Fixes

• Fixed zombie task reaper to guarantee task:end event emission
• Fixed crewx serve Ctrl+C not terminating properly
• Fixed thread polling to always refresh (removed idleOnly restriction)
• Renamed sidebar Tasks label to Task History
• Fixed message send polling race condition on 2nd+ sends
• Fixed OpenCode adapter effort parameter causing silent task failures with GLM models
