Otōto 2.8

Otōto released version 2.8, adding a redesigned dashboard with plugin management, a small-model performance table, and light/dark/automatic themes, plus organisation-wide managed settings and a fleet dashboard. The release also ships SECURITY.md and sbom.cdx.json, and `ototo --version` now reports 2.8.0 instead of 0.1.0.

  • A new look. Otōto has a new logo,( • ) : two arms round a little one, which is what otōto (弟, little brother) means. It is in the dashboard and on the tab's icon.
  • (•) in the terminal.ototo ask ,locate ,callers andedit show the call on the last line while it runs: the time so far, the small model's turn and what it is doing. Through a pipe, or from Claude Code, nothing changes.
  • The dashboard (ototo ui ): -Plugins: every plugin with its version, the files it reads, who signed it and whether it loads (and why not). Switch one off or on, remove it, or add one from its.wasm and.wasm.sig (only plugins signed by a key you already trust). -What the small model did is now a table that stays inside its panel: its own tools, tools it made up, turns it answered in prose, and garbled calls, with the share of turns wasted; click a row for examples. -Light, dark or automatic , from the switch at the top right.
  • For organisations rolling Otōto out to many machines: organisation-wide settings that users cannot override,ototo managed to push the setup to every machine through Claude Code's managed settings, and a fleet dashboard of what is running where. Ask us for the admin guide.
  • For your security team:SECURITY.md (what runs, what it reads, what leaves the machine) andsbom.cdx.json (every dependency and its licence) are in this package.
  • Version numbers:ototo --version now says 2.8.0, not 0.1.0.
