v0.40.6

[0.40.6] - 2026-08-28

Shared (all surfaces)

Breaking Changes

• Saved multi-agent workflow checkpoints must be restarted — checkpoints
  created by TeXRA 0.40.5 use an older journal format that 0.40.6 no longer
  loads. New checkpoints remain reusable when calls are inserted, removed, or
  reordered.

Features

• Review multi-agent work one phase or call at a time — before an issued
  call starts, you can inspect its resolved agent, model, files, and output
  contract, then approve, reject with feedback, or skip it. Approving all
  delegated work still admits the remaining calls at once.
• Live workflow progress distinguishes plans from actual calls — declared
  plan labels, queued calls, active work, cached results, retries, and phase
  totals now have distinct states instead of appearing as one flat list.
• GLM reasoning controls match each model — supported effort levels,
  including Minimal where available, are shown per model; GLM-5.3 keeps its
  required reasoning enabled, and GLM-5.3 Flash joins the preferred list.

Bug Fixes

• Multi-agent resumes reuse the right completed work — unchanged calls are
  recovered after script edits or reordering, remain visible across repeated
  resumes, and no longer depend on their previous list position.
• Workflow phases keep accurate status and timing — completed phases retain
  their own finish times, failures do not mark earlier successful phases as
  failed, and phases that never ran no longer appear as active work.
• Interrupted and high-volume runs preserve their state reliably — an abort
  during startup no longer destroys an existing checkpoint, snapshot flushing
  cannot spin indefinitely, and large history deletions use bounded work.
• Model requests retain provider-specific controls — Grok honors the chosen
  temperature, GLM reasoning survives compaction, and OpenRouter reasoning
  details are replayed exactly once across tool follow-ups.
• LaTeX replacements preserve operators and document text — math-operator
  subscripts, escaped spacing and delimiter commands, rho notation, and TikZ
  content containing replacement markers are no longer corrupted.
• Agent output and previews fail less mysteriously — single-document XML
  output parses normally, between-round LaTeX diffs no longer depend on an
  unrelated base file, and stale approval previews are not substituted for
  unreadable files.
• Tool calls tolerate provider-compatible optional fields — Plan, inquiry,
  memory, media, and other multi-command tools now accept the nullable fields
  emitted by OpenAI-compatible providers without rejecting the selected action.
• Tool results point to the right next step — execution details advertise
  their result view, paginated search no longer links to an empty page, figure
  extraction reports the full discovered count, and Lean errors give
  host-appropriate setup guidance.
• Polling and launch failures retain useful state — malformed GitHub comment
  data no longer hides the next issue close or reopen, Lean startup failures
  reach the dashboard, and agent-launch errors keep their underlying cause.
• Storage and rendering failures are reported instead of hidden — TeXRA now
  surfaces failed transcript writes, workspace preparation, credential reads,
  and cleanup while preserving work that already completed successfully.

Extension (VS Code) and Desktop

Bug Fixes

• Team launches no longer wait for informational messages — partial-team
  and launch-error notifications cannot hold the run until their message is
  dismissed.
• Progress controls and answers stay tied to the right run — deleting one
  stream no longer resets proposal ordering for every stream, running Codex
  turns show an active indicator, and typed question responses preserve checked
  options.
• Round output refreshes and compares correctly — deleted files disappear
  from the current round, and “Compare with previous round” is available when
  the rounds differ.
• Credential-probe failures no longer look like an empty setup — transient
  credential errors are reported instead of permanently completing onboarding
  with the wrong answer or blanking the launcher.

Desktop

Bug Fixes

• The interface fully recovers after an initial renderer failure — workspace
  files, keyboard shortcuts, and the command palette are restored when startup
  succeeds on retry.
• Settings actions cannot fail silently — unavailable Git actions now report
  an error, and subscription usage colors use desktop-compatible theme tokens.

Extension (VS Code)

Bug Fixes

• Getting-started actions work before a folder is open — walkthrough
  buttons now explain the workspace requirement and offer to open a folder or
  create a sample project instead of silently doing nothing.
• Grok sign-in is available from the Command Palette — the command is now
  exposed whenever TeXRA is active.

CLI

Features

• Workflow dashboard rows read like the board's — each phase shows
  done/total · N running · N failed plus one marker per call, the panel
  heading's tally is labelled as the whole run, a call's status word no longer
  gets clipped by its metadata, and phase and task rows line up in one column.

Bug Fixes

• Queued follow-ups survive a root run ending early — a submission waiting
  for its stream assignment is retained instead of being silently discarded.
• Account changes recover cleanly — cancelling a coding-plan credential
  update restores the prior setting, and Grok appears in the login and logout
  pickers.
• The focused subagent list gets the available space — the to-do and plan
  panel stays hidden while the child-session list has focus.
• Commands validate before opening external pages — GitHub Action setup
  finishes its local checks before opening the GitHub App installer, and
  narrow terminal layouts reserve enough room for the full TeXRA header.
• Shutdown and export failures are visible — transcript, usage, lifecycle,
  and trace-viewer read failures are reported with their actual cause.
• The terminal shows the same run the progress view does — a workflow
  agent's transcript no longer hides its reasoning, replies, and prompts, a
  relaunched workflow keeps its earlier attempt on screen as a closed group,
  and phases are the phases the run actually opened rather than rows grouped by
  a repeated label.
• Workflow review prompts remain clear and reliable — review keys stay
  visible in narrow terminals, cards show readable model names and approval
  scope, failed inquiry persistence no longer crashes the CLI, and prompt
  failures are reported instead of being mistaken for feedback-free rejection.
• Configuration and help commands follow their documented inputs — approval
  policies tolerate surrounding whitespace and case differences, global flags
  no longer confuse texra help, and unreadable setup paths are reported
  instead of being treated as absent.
• Live transcript ordering remains stable after repainting — completed tool
  and file rows keep the same order after a resize, label update, or scrollback
  trim.
