Features

  • Added compact project and global thread discovery that resumes local Codex, Claude, Gemini, and Cursor sessions by session id.
  • Added hover archive controls for discovered external harness threads so hidden threads stay out of project and global thread lists.
  • Added configurable grouping and filtering for global agent and thread lists, with menus closing after a selection.
  • Added shared context cards for detected agent conversation groups and imported context bundles.
  • Added an optional initial prompt field to new agent sessions and stopped sending project instructions automatically on blank launches.
  • Split the Skills settings tools into Find, Install, and Installed tabs for a cleaner layout.

Improvements

  • Made the git panel branch name open a branch picker for checking out other local branches when the working tree is clean.
  • Added safe removal controls for idle managed worktrees, including cleanup for stale Git worktree registrations.
  • Made worktree branch names clickable so the root checkout can switch directly to that branch.
  • Bundled product, framework, and scaffold option icons so project and tool visuals remain visible offline, with live favicon fallback for unavailable local assets.
  • Expanded project scaffold options and kept scaffold prompts aligned with the new project terminology.
  • Refined dark-mode project contrast with lighter panels, form controls, softer separators, and larger brighter sentence-case sidebar section headers.
  • Show stored Codex and Claude thread titles for active agent sessions when available.
  • Keep unnamed agent sessions unnamed instead of filling in generated default names.
  • Renamed remaining project-area labels and copy to project terminology across the app.

Fixes

  • Allowed stale managed worktrees to be deleted when Git no longer recognizes their checkout path.
  • Detected and pulled same-named remote branches when a local branch has no configured upstream.
  • Added an upstream picker for linking local branches to available remote branches.
