Speedwave 0.16

Organization-managed telemetry

Telemetry now has its own Settings → Telemetry section: set a collector endpoint, test the connection, and choose exactly what leaves your machine with per-signal privacy toggles. The section is part of Beta features for now, so turn the beta toggle on to see it. An administrator can also enforce telemetry policy across an organization with a managed config file that users can’t override, and that enforcement works whether or not beta is on; locked fields show a lock icon in Settings. See Telemetry (OTLP export) for the full setup and how organization enforcement works.

Official Anthropic plugins, bundled by default

Every project now starts with five official Anthropic Claude Code plugins already installed: frontend-design, feature-dev, claude-md-management, superpowers, and typescript-lsp. Turn any of them off with /plugin if you don’t want them. See Built-in skills and plugins for what each one does.

A new default workflow, powered by superpowers

Because superpowers is on by default, sessions now follow a more disciplined flow out of the box. Ask for a feature and Speedwave no longer jumps straight to code: it first brainstorms the requirements with you and presents a design for approval, breaks the approved design into a step-by-step plan, then implements it test-first (a failing test before each piece of code), often delegating tasks to reviewed subagents. Before claiming anything is done, it verifies the result instead of asserting it, and bug reports go through systematic root-cause debugging rather than guess-and-patch.

In practice this means Speedwave asks more questions up front and shows its plan before touching files. If you prefer the old freeform behavior for a project, one command turns it off: /plugin disable superpowers, and the choice survives restarts.

Slack, GitHub, and Atlassian are out of beta

These three integrations no longer sit behind the beta features toggle. Connect them the same way as any other integration, no beta switch required.

Jira attachments

The Atlassian integration can now upload files from your project workspace as attachments on a Jira issue.

Plugin changelogs

Plugin details now include a Changelog tab for any verified plugin that ships a CHANGELOG.md, so you can see what changed before you update.

Meeting transcription reliability

Meeting transcription is more robust across a range of real-world conditions: it survives switching audio devices mid-call, such as a headset joining partway through, captures Teams and Slack call audio on Windows, and detects when system-audio permission is missing instead of failing silently. Live transcripts are steadier, silence no longer produces hallucinated text, and large model downloads are more reliable.

Session reliability

Interactive CLI sessions now restore your terminal state after an abnormal exit and survive a Desktop shutdown. A hang in the IDE bridge that could wedge a session is fixed, and the context meter now reflects the last API call instead of summing across turns. Claude Code is updated to 2.1.206.

Fixes

This release also fixes factory reset on Windows, stops orphaned projects from blocking updates, and applies telemetry settings through a restart with save-time validation.
