Changelog - v1.8.0-beta.1
This beta makes the project chat and Distiller noticeably smoother to work with,
adds pop-out guidance cards with live synchronization, and lands a large internal
reliability pass across the app's backend communication layer.
New Features
Distiller Messages in Chat
- The Distiller now speaks directly inside the project chat: its proposals and
status appear as dedicated chat messages instead of only living in a separate
panel. - Distillate proposals are easier to review, with a refreshed carousel and clearer
tool-call display showing exactly what the agent wants to change before you
confirm. - As always, nothing is applied automatically: you see the proposed updates and
confirm them yourself.
Pop-Out Guidance Cards
- Guidance cards can now be opened in their own window, so you can keep a
recommendation visible while you work elsewhere in the project. - Card windows stay in sync with the main app in real time, so dismissing or
acting on a card is reflected everywhere immediately.
Smarter Intake Indicator
- The intake indicator now shows clearer progress while documents and raw updates
are being processed, including paginated results when there is a lot to review.
Improvements
Chat Experience
- Long conversations now restore your scroll position reliably when you switch
between chats or come back to a project, so you no longer lose your place. - Streaming agent responses render more smoothly and handle interruptions
(canceling mid-answer) more gracefully. - Stale messages left over from a previous chat session are now cleaned up, so the
conversation you see always matches the project you are in. - Guidance card styling and the in-chat Distiller styling were polished for better
readability and a more consistent look.
Agent Approval Flow
- The MCP tool-approval flow continues to use a shared renderer store, making
pending approvals more stable when parts of the UI mount and unmount.
Demo & Onboarding Safety
- The construction demo seeding script now confirms before running and validates
the workspace folder name, preventing accidental overwrites when setting up demo
projects.
Reliability (Under the Hood)
- A large internal pass standardized how the app's backend handlers report errors
and name their communication channels. This reduces inconsistencies that could
cause hard-to-trace failures and makes future fixes faster and safer to ship. - JSON returned by AI tools is parsed more robustly, reducing rare cases where a
malformed response could disrupt a chat or distillation. - Priority handling for action items was made more consistent across the app.
- The bundled
tmpdependency was updated to pick up upstream fixes.
Fixes
- Switching projects or chats no longer leaves behind messages from the previous
conversation. - Canceling a streaming response now stops the in-flight work cleanly instead of
only hiding it in the UI.
Notes
- No database migration is required.
- This is a beta release and will use the beta update channel.
