Fabric 0.21.0 — Agent Live View
Fabric Desktop can now show Browser and Computer Use activity beside the conversation, then move that same session into a resizable, always-on-top picture-in-picture window.

How to use it
- Start Fabric Desktop and ask the agent to use Browser or Computer Use.
- Agent Live View opens automatically when the first visual action starts.
- Use Pop out picture-in-picture to keep the view above other windows.
- Use Pause visual updates to freeze only the preview—the agent keeps working.
- Use Return to side panel to dock the same session again without restarting it.
See the complete Browser Live View guide and Computer Use Live View guide.
Highlights
- Browser Live View uses a dedicated authenticated visual connection on compatible local CDP sessions. It pulls one bounded frame at a time, starts at most two captures per second per session, and yields to agent browser actions.
- Computer Use reuses at most one bounded screenshot already returned by an action instead of creating another capture loop.
- Live View adds no model tool, tool schema, prompt text, context tokens, or model calls.
- Background-session activity no longer opens the active chat's Live View rail.
- Finder and Dock launches can now discover user-local
cua-driverinstallations. - The optional MCP SDK is raised to 1.28.1 for fixes covering CVE-2026-52869, CVE-2026-52870, and CVE-2026-59950.
- Documentation contracts now require the Desktop, Browser, and Computer Use guides to evolve with their load-bearing code paths.
