Search, file attachments, and six new agent tools
Search. Ctrl+P opens a file by name, Ctrl+Shift+F searches text across the project — one palette, a real toggle between the two, and a button in the sidebar so the shortcuts aren't the only way in. Results jump to the line.
Files as context. Attach files from a picker or drag them in from the file tree. Each becomes an @name chip you can click to open and hover to remove.
Chat without a folder. "Just chat" on the welcome screen, one centred column, and your recent projects one hover away.
Six new agent tools — git, browser (screenshots, console and DOM from a real browser), notebook_edit for Jupyter files, create_page for self-contained HTML pages and slide decks, subagents that run in the editor, and ui_ux_search: a design corpus of 84 visual styles, 192 palettes and 74 font pairings the agent consults before writing any UI.
Cheaper turns. Tool schemas are sent only when a turn actually needs them — an ordinary coding request carries 1,772 tokens of schemas instead of 3,848, and "hi" costs about 272 tokens instead of 6,000. Measured against Claude Code on five tasks in the same repository: 444k tokens against 893k, $3.05 against $4.68.
Fewer broken files. JavaScript the agent writes is parsed before it reports success, so a missing bracket surfaces at write time instead of as a blank page. Ada also warns when a page it wrote needs the network to render.
Fixes. Ada can ask you a question from the editor, not just the terminal; two streamed tool calls are no longer spliced into one set of arguments; and when a provider rejects a request you see its actual error instead of the router's wrapper.
