By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The latest update for the Ponytail software, version 5.3.1, introduces a change where "other mods' bands" now stack below the main ponytail band, preventing them from disappearing above the Claude Code prompt. This version also addresses an issue on Windows where the band would revert to USERPROFILE when HOME was not set. Additionally, the software now writes task ledgers and boards without needing to create directories first. AI
