V1.0.1 — Parallel conversations and setup guidance

Released: 2026-09-20.

Changes

  • Advanced conversations can select existing tasks in the same workspace even when another conversation uses that task or the Dashboard displays another task.
  • ChatGPT conversation metadata pins task routing across MCP reconnects and server restarts. Independent calls can run concurrently on one transport; operations touching conflicting resources still coordinate through resource locks.
  • Explicit messages to other chats use the task mailbox. Mailbox delivery does not automatically start the receiving chat.
  • Active conversation tracking, review grouping and task selection prompts reflect the conversation's own task.
  • Windows startup distinguishes stale ownership claims after PID reuse and reports the underlying startup error.
  • The left sidebar stays within its column when a task description or handoff contains long identifiers. Environment controls, handoff timestamps and action buttons remain visible.
  • Setup option 2 — OpenAI Secure MCP Tunnel is marked Recommended (Windows). The README covers access, installation, every wizard prompt, ChatGPT connection, repairs and upgrades.

Install or upgrade

Use Node.js 22+, npm and Git. The option 2 automatic installer requires Windows/PowerShell. Follow the complete README setup guide.

For an existing installation, stop its launcher, preserve .env, back up the configured WORKBENCH_PATH, and preserve local source changes before updating:

git fetch origin --tags
git checkout v1.0.1
npm ci
npm run build
npm start

Refresh the ChatGPT app/connector after the update and start a new conversation to load current tool definitions. Choose Advanced for multiple tasks; Basic retains its single-writer workflow. Existing saved connection choices are retained by setup.

Task permissions, workspace boundaries and conflict protection still apply. Workbench does not automatically resume other ChatGPT chats. Use separate worktrees when concurrent tasks need independent Git working copies.

Validation

  • npm test — passed, including conversation routing, parallel execution, shared-task dispatch, permissions, Windows state ownership and restart recovery.
  • node scripts/run-all-tests.mjs --readiness-only — passed with an isolated HTTP/MCP server.
  • JavaScript syntax checks passed for the changed/new scripts and UI modules.
  • Headless Edge rendering of the actual Workbench HTML/CSS with long task/handoff content reproduced the sidebar clipping before the fix. After the fix, checks at 1440, 1280, 1100, 900 and 414 px found no horizontal content overflow or controls outside the sidebar; the desktop render was also visually inspected.

Tunnel setup instructions were checked against the local wizard and official OpenAI documentation. A fresh account/tunnel installation was not performed as part of these release checks.
