Summary
CodeWhale’s v0.8.48 follow-up release keeps the DeepSeek-TUI rebrand moving from identity work into operational cleanup. The project merged fixes for legacy secrets migration, configurable update checks, mention limits, and MCP manager test coverage while continuing work on typed persistent tool-permission rules.
What changed
CodeWhale followed its v0.8.47 rebrand with v0.8.48-era migration and control-plane work, including legacy secret migration, configurable startup update checks, mention-menu limits, MCP manager tests, and an open typed execpolicy permission system.
Why it matters
The rebrand is becoming a real product migration rather than a name swap. For a terminal coding agent, path migration, update-policy controls, MCP inheritance, and persistent permission rules determine whether existing scripts and enterprise environments can adopt the new identity without losing trust.
