Changes by Version

v0.117.0

  • Added first-class plugin workflow - sync product-scoped plugins at startup, browse in /plugins, install/remove with clearer auth handling
  • Added readable path-based addressing for sub-agents like /root/agent_a with structured inter-agent messaging for multi-agent v2 workflows
  • Added terminal-title picker /title that works in both classic TUI and app-server TUI for easier session management
  • Added shell command support for app-server clients - send ! commands, watch filesystem changes, connect to remote websocket servers with bearer-token auth
  • Added smoother image workflows - view_image returns URLs for code mode, generated images reopenable from TUI, history survives resume
  • Added prompt history recall in app-server TUI including across sessions
  • Fixed duplicate live reasoning summaries and /review output in tui_app_server
  • Fixed ChatGPT login flow - opens local browser again, cancels cleanly on Ctrl+C, no longer fails on startup when logged out
  • Fixed terminal state restoration on early exits to avoid broken shell state after quitting
  • Fixed Linux sandboxed tool calls reliability on older distributions with older bubblewrap
  • Fixed remote multi-agent sessions to show agent names instead of raw IDs with better recovery from stale turn-steering races
  • Fixed plugin-backed mentions and product gating for more predictable behavior
  • Changed app-server-backed TUI now enabled by default with plugin/app rollout flags activated in normal builds
  • Removed legacy artifact tool and retired old read_file and grep_files handlers as part of tool cleanup
