Summary

This release focuses heavily on stability and usability, fixing numerous bugs related to connection handling, UI focus, and session state management. Key fixes include preserving partial responses during mid-stream connection drops and resolving a critical scrolling regression in WSL2 environments.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed mid-stream connection drops, ensuring partial responses are preserved instead of showing a raw error, and preventing the spinner from getting stuck at "running tool".
  • Fixed mouse-wheel scrolling regression in WSL2 environments when using Windows Terminal and VS Code.
  • Fixed issue where a sandbox `denyRead`/`allowRead` glob over a large directory tree caused the Bash tool description to become enormous and render the session unusable on Linux.
  • Fixed feedback survey incorrectly capturing single-digit replies as a session rating immediately after a turn completed.
  • Fixed welcome screen stacking multiple promotional banners; now only one promo displays per session.
  • Fixed Ctrl+O not displaying the subagent's transcript when viewing a subagent.
  • Fixed clicking the prompt input failing to return focus from the subagent/footer panel.
  • Fixed remote session background tasks appearing stuck as "still running" between turns.

Improvements

  • Improved plugin loading performance in remote sessions.
