CHANGELOG
September 14, 2026
VSCode Extension 0.901.1 Release Notes
New Features
- Chat submit is now a rebindable VS Code keyboard shortcut. "Submit Chat Message" (
Enter) and "Submit Chat Message Immediately" (Ctrl+Enter/Cmd+Enter) appear in Keyboard Shortcuts and can be remapped.
Improvements
- Workspace-defined Augment hooks now run only in trusted workspaces. Command hooks supplied by a workspace stay disabled until you grant workspace trust, and are armed as soon as trust is granted.
- The agent now asks for approval before viewing sensitive files —
.envfiles, private keys and certificates, credential- and secret-named files, and paths excluded by.augmentignore. - Skills in
.augmentthat fail to parse are now listed in Settings with the reason they were rejected, instead of disappearing silently. - MCP Tool Search in Settings now distinguishes a failure to save your changes from a failure to load the current configuration.
- Remote MCP servers (HTTP and SSE) now honor the
HTTP_PROXYandHTTPS_PROXYenvironment variables.
Reliability & Performance
- Chat responses now recover from mid-stream interruptions automatically. Recovery is suppressed after a tool call has already completed, so tools are never re-executed by a retry.
- A stream that ends abnormally now reports a neutral, retriable "response was interrupted" message instead of guessing that your network connection failed.
- Recovered chat turns settle into a finished state. Tools that were running when a conversation was interrupted no longer appear to run forever after it is restored.
- The conversation you are working in is preserved when the extension host restarts or reactivates.
- Remote tool integrations no longer disappear when sign-in finishes while the extension is still starting up.
Bug Fixes
- Responses cut short by the model's output limit are no longer reported as complete. Chat now shows an explicit truncation failure.
- Markdown that fails to parse now renders an inline fallback message instead of leaving the response blank.
- Agent checkpoints in deeply nested workspaces no longer fail to restore because of over-long checkpoint filenames.
- Files that Git recreates during a checkout are no longer deleted again by the agent's checkpoint file watcher.
