v0.1.3

Origin v0.1.3 - Release Notes

What's New

macOS Support

macOS builds are now included in the release CI alongside Windows and Linux.

DAP Debugger

Added a full debugger powered by the Debug Adapter Protocol.

• Supports codelldb for Rust and C++, and debugpy for Python.
• Click the gutter to set and clear breakpoints. Red dots show verified breakpoints; the paused line highlights in amber.
• Debug sidebar shows Call Stack, Variables (lazy-expanded tree), and Breakpoints grouped by file.
• Floating step toolbar appears while a session is active: Continue, Step Over, Step In, Step Out, Pause, Stop.
• Auto-detects the right adapter and program when you open a project — Cargo.toml → codelldb, *.py → debugpy.
• Launch config persists across sessions. Last config is restored when you reopen the project.
• Start with F5, stop with Shift+F5, or use the Run menu in the title bar.
• Active session shown in the status bar with an amber "Paused" or green "Running" indicator.

Web Preview Pane

Added a live preview panel for local web servers.

• Open via the + button on the tab bar > Live Preview.
• Enter a URL or bare port number. Port shortcut chips for common dev servers (Vite, Next.js, CRA, generic).
• Browser toolbar with back/forward history, refresh, URL bar, and viewport presets (mobile, tablet, desktop).
• Inline W×H editor for custom viewport dimensions.
• Popout button opens the preview in a native window. Open-in-browser sends it to the system browser.
• Entering the preview tab auto-hides the sidebar, AI panel, and terminal for a full-screen view. Leaving restores them.

Shell Integration

Added terminal shell integration for cwd tracking and command state.

• OSC 7 reports the current working directory after each command.
• OSC 133 reports command start and exit code.
• Each terminal tab shows a status dot: blue pulse while a command is running, green on exit 0 (auto-clears after 2s), red on non-zero exit.
• Config snippets for PowerShell, Bash, and Zsh available in Settings → Terminal. Paste the snippet into your shell profile to activate.

WebGL Terminal Renderer

The terminal now renders via WebGL for better performance.

• Uses @xterm/addon-webgl (GPU-accelerated) by default.
• Automatically falls back to the canvas renderer if the GPU context is lost or unavailable.

Effort Toggle

Added a Normal / Max effort switch to the AI preferences dropdown.

• Normal uses compact lite system prompts — faster and more token-efficient for everyday tasks.
• Max uses the full system prompts for complex multi-step work.
• Custom saved prompts from Settings always take priority over both tiers.

Agent Improvements

• Context compaction - before each agent call, redundant read_file results are removed from history. Files read multiple times keep only the most recent read; reads invalidated by a subsequent write are replaced with a one-line placeholder. Activates only when history exceeds ~40k tokens.
• Security layer - agent tools now reject requests targeting secret files (.env, *.pem, *.key, etc.), protected system directories, paths with .. traversal, and Bidi-override characters.
• Task scratchpad - todo_write and todo_read tools give the agent an in-memory task list for tracking progress within a session.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed terminal tabs spawning in the previous project's directory after switching projects.
• Fixed terminal PTY being killed when toggling the terminal panel — scrollback and history now survive hide/show cycles.
• Fixed fullscreen (F11) doing nothing when the window was maximized.

v0.1.2

Origin v0.1.2 — Release Notes

What's New

Linux Support

Origin now runs on Linux.

• Standalone portable binary and installer artifacts are now built for Linux alongside the existing Windows releases.
• Full build and packaging workflow established for both platforms.
• All core features — editor, terminal, AI agent loop, LSP, diff view — work on Linux out of the box.

AI Inline Completions

Added Copilot-style ghost text suggestions directly in the editor.

• Suggestions appear automatically as you type and can be accepted with Tab or dismissed with Escape.
• Uses your active AI provider and model.
• Skips mid-word triggers and requires minimum context before firing to avoid disruptive popups.
• Completions are post-processed to strip markdown fences, deduplicate overlap with surrounding code, and cap length.
• Toggle on or off from Settings → Editor.
• Configurable trigger delay from Settings → General.

Ask Mode

Added a new Ask mode for targeted, surgical edits.

• In Ask mode the AI makes precise string replacements using search-and-replace tool calls rather than rewriting entire files.
• Changes are shown in the diff view for review before any file is written to disk.
• No approval gate interruption — edits flow directly into the per-hunk diff UI.

Per-Hunk Diff Accept and Reject

Added inline Accept and Reject controls above each individual changed chunk in the diff view.

• Accept or reject individual hunks independently instead of accepting or rejecting the entire file at once.
• Global Accept All and Reject All buttons remain available.
• Diff view closes automatically when all hunks have been resolved.

ORIGIN.md Project Memory

Added support for a workspace-level context file.

• Create ORIGIN.md at the root of any open project to give the AI persistent context about that codebase — coding conventions, architecture notes, agent instructions, and so on.
• Contents are automatically read when a project is opened and appended to all AI system prompts (Agent, Ask, Plan).
• Silently ignored when the file is not present. No configuration required.

System Prompts per Mode

Expanded the System Prompts settings section from a single textarea to a three-tab interface.

• Separate prompts for Agent, Ask, and Plan modes.
• Each tab shows a description, editable textarea, Save, and Reset to Default.

Prompt Caching

Added prompt cache support to reduce token costs on long sessions.

• Anthropic: cache breakpoints injected on the system prompt and the last history message each turn.
• OpenAI: cache hits are detected and reported automatically.
• Cache read token counts are now shown in the AI Spend card in the status island.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed accepting an AI diff not updating the open editor tab, leaving stale content visible after approval.
• Fixed terminal tabs spawning in the first project's directory instead of the current project's directory after switching projects.
• Fixed the AI panel continuing to show the previous project's conversation after switching projects.
• Fixed terminal copy and paste. Ctrl+Shift+C now copies the current xterm selection and Ctrl+Shift+V pastes from the clipboard without interfering with Ctrl+C sending SIGINT.
• Fixed a CodeMirror crash (RangeError: Block decorations may not be specified via plugins) that occurred when Ask mode opened the diff view.
• Fixed Ask mode failing with "Cannot read file" when the AI referenced a file by its relative workspace path.

v0.1.1

What's New

Language Server Protocol (LSP)

• Added full Language Server Protocol support with confirmed Windows compatibility.
• TypeScript, JavaScript, Rust, and Python files now support:
  • Diagnostics (red squiggles)
  • Inline completions
  • Hover documentation
  • F12 go-to-definition
• Powered by locally installed language servers:
  • typescript-language-server
  • rust-analyzer
  • pylsp
• Added automatic language server detection.
• Missing server installs now surface an Install action in the notification bar that launches the required installation command in a new terminal tab.

Plan Mode

• Added a new two-phase AI workflow.
• In Plan Mode, the AI first explores the codebase using read-only tools before making changes.
• Generates a structured plan describing files it intends to create, modify, or delete.
• Execution only begins after the plan is explicitly approved.
• Plans can be approved or rejected directly from the UI.

Fully Wired Menu Bar

• Implemented all previously stubbed menu actions:
  • Save, Save As, Save All, Close Editor
  • Undo, Redo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Select All, Find
  • Zoom In, Zoom Out, Reset Zoom
  • New Terminal Tab, Clear Terminal, Kill Terminal
• Menu labels now open on hover.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed toast notifications expanding to the full height of the window.
• Fixed Windows .cmd shim resolution so globally installed npm binaries such as typescript-language-server launch correctly.
• Fixed LSP hover and symbol highlighting incorrectly returning "No Project" errors on Windows paths.
• Fixed auto-apply diff execution requiring a manual Apply click.
• Fixed model selector dropdown clipping near the bottom edge of the screen.
