CalaT 1.9.1 adds permission gate
CalaT is an open-source, local-first autonomous agent built on Ollama and mainly tested with qwen2.5-coder, with planning and execution split by a single permission gate. The v1.9.1 release adds a dashboard, WebSocket flow, Telegram text/audio handling, persistent memory, and hardware-aware model selection.
// ANALYSIS
The real contribution here is the control plane: CalaT treats the model as a planner, not an executor, which is the right way to make a local agent auditable and harder to abuse.
- –A single validation point keeps dashboard, WebSocket, and Telegram inputs from branching into hidden execution paths.
- –Hardware-aware model selection is a practical local-first move; the same codebase can scale from Pi-class devices to GPU rigs.
- –Heartbeat isolation is a good safety boundary because monitoring should notify, not execute.
- –Persistent memory plus optional Telegram make the agent useful in practice, but they also raise the bar for audit trails and explicit user boundaries.
- –A declarative policy engine is the right 2.0 step if the project wants richer rules without reintroducing bypasses.
