What's New

This release focuses on UX and reliability improvements for agent workflows.

Highlights:
- Settings page reorganized for clarity.
- Agents are now named by role (Coordinator, Implementor, Verifier) instead of random names.
- Per-group commit buttons in the changes panel let you commit each agent's work independently.
- Auto-commit is now respected everywhere; when turned off, agents will not commit on your behalf.
- Delegated agents reliably inherit their parent's provider, preventing child agents from ending up on the wrong model.

Fixes and small improvements:
- Workspace title now updates for new spaces.
- Improved agent isolation.
- Resolved stale messages after agent wake-ups.
- Fixed streaming state being lost on page refresh.
- Fixed subscription UI reappearing after delegation.
- Various small UI cleanups.

Highlights:

• File tracking now uses Git blob storage. Diffs and file contents are stored as SHA blobs rather than inline, with lazy resolution and cached repo checks to reduce overhead and improve consistency.

• Open spaces in a new window with Cmd+Click, and a new Markdown file editor has been added for notes and docs.

• More reliable rebase detection. The app now tracks the HEAD SHA and uses follow-up polling so the UI refreshes correctly after both app-initiated and external rebases.

• Fixed model selection in OpenCode. The client now uses `session/set_model` to prevent a silent fallback to OpenRouter.

• No more duplicate task agents. If the target agent is already streaming, the app will skip starting another one.

Bug fixes:

• Atomic file writes no longer hit a race condition (solved with unique temp paths).

• Remote workspace git status no longer truncates filenames.

• PR Shepherd specialist for automated PR review cycles.
• New `wait_for_pr_changes` MCP tool and post-merge workspace reset workflow.
• Specialists in @ mentions with activity indicators.
• Agent-list and confirmation UI blocks in tool call display.
• xhigh reasoning effort level and expanded model list for Codex.
• Font style settings for Notes and Agent Chat.
• Auto-retry failed messages for background agents after session recovery.
• Smart workspace navigation on archive/delete.
• Content-based binary detection in the diff pipeline.
• Multi-window support via workspace-scoped IPC broadcasting
• Fixes: auto-rebase baseSHA and stash handling, queued messages reappearing after send, "Waiting for 0 agents" ghost message, agent display delay in the workspace switcher, MCP server resilience to transient bridge failures, git polling log spam, agent permanent delete from the context menu, stale session writes on before unload, rapid token consumption guard, deferred queued messages for inactive workspaces, improved "agent process died" diagnostics, gitignore race conditions, workspace rename race, model-drop safety warning on provider switch, tool call text overlap, Windows PowerShell setup scripts.
