This is a major release with 169 commits, 59 new features, and 73 bug fixes spanning the entire v0.7.15 alpha cycle. Here's everything that's new.

Highlights

Multi-Agent Teams

Full team infrastructure for coordinating multiple agents on complex tasks. Includes TeamManager, TaskManager, MessageRouter, built-in agent archetypes, tmux split-pane visualization, and new /team, /tasks, /message slash commands.

Session Import System (/import)

Import your sessions from Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, Cline, Continue, and Augment. Built on a BaseImporter with deduplication, pre-validation, index recovery, and importedFrom provenance tracking so you never lose context when switching tools.

Boxed Composer UI

A redesigned terminal input experience with stable cursor positioning, terminal region rendering, queued typing, and a live activity indicator with rotating verbs and tips. The composer stays anchored across startup, active turns, and queued instructions.

Smart Suggestions

LLM-powered next-step suggestions rendered as ghost text in the prompt. A new SuggestionEngine analyzes project context at startup and between turns to propose what to do next. Toggle with ui.promptSuggestions.

  • Plan mode — Fixed keyboard shortcut triggering without flagging plan mode state
  • Queue handling — ! and / commands now execute immediately instead of being queued
  • Shutdown — Fixed stderr silently discarded on shutdown
  • ESC cancel — Fixed infinite loop when ESC cancels ask_followup_question
