Reviews when someone asks for yours (0.4.1)

When someone requests your review on a GitHub PR, Night Porter can prepare one: a summary, issues with file and line, security, tests and a verdict, waiting for you in the TUI. Turn it on per repo with review_requests = true under [maintainer]. With Claude Code or Gemini CLI a review only reads the code (no tests, no environment), so it starts without waiting for you to approve running someone else's code. See Review requests.

Sweep the backlog

A module with three hundred open issues, half of them fixed years ago? nightporter sweep queues a maintainer job for each one, oldest first, and triage now starts by checking whether the code already does what the issue asks. You get a reply to approve that says "already done, here's where" so you can close it.

nightporter sweep project/token --older-than 90d --dry-run
nightporter sweep project/token --older-than 90d
nightporter sweep project/token --prs                # review open MRs from others

Filter by --label, --older-than, --newer-than and --limit. Every job waits for your approval, your own PRs still go first, and a sweep never takes the last quarter of the daily cap. See Work through the backlog.

See and clean up worktrees

A Worktrees tab (6) lists every worktree Night Porter made. x removes one, and u brings it back for 7 days, with its commits and uncommitted changes, so cleaning up after a handoff can't cost you an afternoon's work. A new job on the PR keeps your edits before it resets the worktree, too. From the CLI: nightporter worktrees, rm <job>, restore <job>. gc and the automatic cleanup keep removed work the same way.

Hand off to pi, Cursor, Copilot and more

handoff_agent = "pi" (or cursor, copilot, goose, qwen, droid, kiro) opens a job in that agent when you take it over. See Choose the agent.

A model per agent

[defaults.agent_args]
claude = ["--model", "opus"]
codex = ["-m", "gpt-5"]

Leave it out and each agent uses its own default. See Models per agent.

git.drupal.org clones

Clones with a git.drupal.org remote are found now. For SSH host aliases, add aliases = ["github-work"] to the account.

Day shift, night shift

A schedule window can now set its own level, agent and notify list. And notifications can go to your phone or a chat through notification targets: webhooks (Slack, Discord, ntfy, JSON) or a command.

Draft and a desktop notification while you work, auto and your phone overnight:

# ~/.config/nightporter/config.toml
[[notifications.targets]]
name = "phone"
type = "webhook"
format = "ntfy"
url_env = "NIGHTPORTER_NTFY_URL"   # https://ntfy.sh/<a topic only you know>
kinds = ["needs_approval", "failed"]

[defaults]
notify = ["desktop"]

[[defaults.schedule]]
days = "mon-fri"
windows = ["09:00-18:00"]
level = "draft"

[[defaults.schedule]]
days = "daily"
windows = ["18:00-09:00"]
level = "auto"
notify = ["phone"]

Set NIGHTPORTER_NTFY_URL where the daemon runs (launchd and systemd don't read your shell profile), subscribe to the topic in the ntfy app, then check it:

nightporter notify test phone

The first open window wins, and the limits still apply: an untrusted (trust.open) repo stays at suggest, and CI-failure jobs stop at draft unless ci_auto is on. On Linux, clicking a desktop notification opens the PR; macOS can't do that yet.

Approve from your phone

Comment on the PR or MR:

/nightporter approve

dismiss, retry and status work too, on GitHub, GitLab and Forgejo/Gitea. Only comments from your own account count (checked by user ID), and approve only releases a job that is waiting for push approval. See From your phone.

Forgejo and Gitea

Codeberg, gitea.com and self-hosted servers, with a token or your tea login:

[[accounts]]
forge = "forgejo"
host = "codeberg.org"

Resolving threads works on Gitea 1.25 and later only; Forgejo has no API for it. See Forgejo and Gitea.

Gemini CLI (experimental)

agent = "gemini" runs Gemini CLI 0.67 or newer, sandboxed with the network off. It hasn't been run against a real Gemini CLI yet, so treat it as experimental and start with draft. See Gemini CLI. Cursor CLI and Amp were evaluated and aren't supported; the threat model says why.

Take over in tmux, Zellij or a new terminal

h (or nightporter handoff <id>) now also opens jobs in tmux, Zellij or a new terminal window, or prints the command. handoff = "auto" picks the one you're in and never fails: with nothing around, it prints the command. See Take over a job.

Also

• The Repos tab shows each repo's own level and agent (what l and a change), and (now auto, from window) while a window overrides them.
• Coming with the release, in their own repositories: first-party packs for Drupal, Rust and accessibility review, and the Night Porter skill as a Claude Code plugin and a Gemini CLI extension. These docs will link them once they're published; until then, nightporter skill setup installs the skill for Claude Code.
