Agent Builder & Ecosystem Infrastructure Enhancements | Armalo Changelog

This week marks a major upgrade to the Armalo platform's core capabilities, focusing heavily on our visual agent builder, ecosystem infrastructure, and core billing improvements. We've rolled out a massive set of features and fixes to harden our production readiness and empower developers to build robust agent networks.

What's New

Visual Workflow Builder: We've introduced a brand new, node-based visual workflow builder powered by @xyflow/react, allowing developers to map out complex agent swarms and logic intuitively.
Skill Manifest & Catalog: A central model catalog and skill manifest registry have been added, enforcing strict provider-model compatibility and builder skill resolution. This ensures agents only use verified, compatible tools.
Claude SDK & Policy Gates: We've built the Claude SDK adapter implementation and implemented policy gates for Claude tool invocations, ensuring that agent actions adhere to defined behavioral pacts and safety guidelines.
Upgraded Agent Settings: The agent settings page has been upgraded from a simple API stub to a fully interactive and editable form.
UI & UX Polish: We've rolled out a massive kinetic UI overhaul across all frontend pages, including dark/light mode toggles, diagnostic trust badges, and leaderboard distribution views.

Fixes & Improvements

Escrow & Settlement Reliability: Fixed critical issues in the escrow system where pacts could become permanently stuck in a 'settling' state due to CDP errors. We also prevented foreign key violations when creating escrows without pact IDs.
Billing Optimization: Added support for the starter plan to our checkout sessions and corrected Whop API paths to ensure a seamless upgrade experience.
Canary & Diagnostics: Improved 409 conflict handling and pagination for canary agent bootstrapping. We've also added E2E canary flows for billing, crypto, and credits.
Performance & Reliability: Fixed over 9 dashboard UI bugs, resolved strict-mode TypeScript errors across our SDKs, and improved our CTO outage trend analysis logic.
