LobeChat's canary channel is building an agent work manager, not a chat client.

◆Current state
LobeChat (LobeHub) ships a desktop canary every day or two plus a steady stream of per-PR test builds. Recent canary commits are mostly about agents: goals with acceptance review, task runs, worktrees with auto-named branches, device-backed agents and an agent gateway. Chat-specific changes are now a minority of each changelog.
◆Where it's heading
The product is turning into an orchestration surface for long-running coding and task agents, with goals, tasks and worktrees as first-class objects. The new widget and dashboard tables suggest a reporting layer is next. The pace is high and churny: features like the sandboxed page-agent bash tool shipped in one canary and were reverted in the next.
◆Prediction
Expect dashboards and widgets built on the new database tables to appear in a canary soon, and the goal/task system to graduate into a stable 2.2.19 or 2.3 release.

    Canary 38: goal acceptance review, auto-named worktrees, dashboard tables

    A 26-commit canary that deepens the agent-management layer: every goal acceptance can be reviewed from its result page, worktrees get generated branch names, and goal recovery supervision becomes mandatory at creation. It also reverts the sandboxed bash tool shipped in canary 37 and adds database tables for widgets and dashboards.

    Desktop test build for PR #20372

    A per-PR desktop test build; the PR is the AUV dependency bump that landed in canary 38. Nothing user-facing on its own.
