IAPM 1.17.0¶
A big update for Steam players: everything since 1.15.0 lands in one release. Tessa's in-world companion becomes an autonomous tour guide, the service graph now shows holographic "phantom" placeholders for services that are referenced but never seen, the Hall of Supporters is reimagined as the Spatial Observatory, and sign-in is faster and more reliable with your choice of native or in-world browser.
What's New¶
- Companion autopilot: after about 10 minutes of inactivity, the camera follows Tessa's companion on an autonomous tour of your most interesting facilities, prioritizing failing and anomalous services, with a scenic overview when the fleet is healthy. Any input ends the tour; pin it on to keep it running.
- Phantom nodes: the service graph renders holographic placeholders for services that are referenced but never observed (a producer publishing to a queue no one consumes, or a client calling an API with no instrumented server), with edges back to the callers that referenced them. They turn solid automatically once real telemetry arrives.
- Spatial Observatory: the Hall of Supporters is reimagined as an immersive space for observing your services and telemetry spatially. The Buzludja monument environment stays; the purpose and in-world guidance now center on observation.
- Choose your sign-in browser: a new option on the Login screen lets you sign in with your native OS browser (default) or an embedded in-world browser, and your choice is remembered.
- Workspace persona for Tessa: point the app at a workspace and Tessa can adopt that workspace's persona, after a consent prompt. Tessa never adopts a workspace's guidance without your approval.
- Energy recharge countdown: when energy is replenishing, the HUD shows a live countdown to when it resets.
Fixes¶
- Fixed long Tessa answers being truncated in the console; oversized output is now chunked so nothing is lost.
- Fixed macOS native sign-in failing on URLs with encoded characters.
- Sign-in reliability: cancelling or abandoning a sign-in now unwinds cleanly, retry re-enables correctly, and rapid back-to-back logins no longer flicker or hang.
Known Issues¶
- macOS support is experimental and may lack full feature parity with Windows. The embedded in-world sign-in browser in particular may have limited support on macOS; the native browser option is recommended there.
