Kernel 0.6.0

Issues and pull requests share one Work page, and its Pull requests tab lists open pull requests across every project, with Merge on the ones that are ready. Chats, panels and lists reopen where you left them after a restart, and a file path an agent mentions opens in a tab. You can attach any file to a message, and the Run button always sits in the bottom panel. Adding a project takes seconds: clone a GitHub repo, open a folder or start from scratch, and it opens straight into New chat. Rooms are now called projects, both themes use neutral greys, and frontend and backend agents can run on different models.

New

• A Pull requests page in the sidebar lists open pull requests across every project with their checks, review and conflicts, offers Merge on the ready ones, and shows recently merged ones under Merged. (#860)
• Issues and Pull requests are now one entry in the sidebar, Work, with a tab for each and a project picker that includes All projects on Pull requests. Press 1 or 2 to switch tabs. (#888)
• The bottom bar has a History button, just left of Help, that opens History for all projects. (#920)
• You can attach any file to a message, up to 50 MB each, and the chip shows its type and size. (#929)
• The Run button is always in a workspace's bottom panel, with a menu to start any run script, run them all or open the project's scripts. (#930)
• Chats reopen where you left them after a restart, and Scroll to bottom shows how many new messages arrived while you were reading higher up. (#942)
• Work, Issues has a Linear | GitHub switch in its header for projects that have both, and remembers the choice per project. (#958)
• File paths that agents mention in chat open the file in a tab when you click them. (#1003)
• Command Shift H switches a chat with Kernel between Hand off and Build here. (#1022)

Improved

• A running turn shows its timer on its own line under the work, and says when it is waiting for you. (#852)
• Images you attach to a message are named image.png, image-2.png and so on in the order you add them, so you can refer to one by name in your prompt. (#855)
• The collapsed run panel no longer shows the port when nothing is running. (#856)
• The Team update card in a Lead chat no longer shows a Copy button. (#857)
• The sidebar now has Search in the top bar next to Back and Forward, and three rows: New chat, Inbox and Issues. Home is gone, and archived workspaces open from Search or from a project's menu. (#858)
• The model pickers list GPT-6.1-Sol and Haiku 5.5, along with the older Claude and Codex models, which are marked legacy. (#862)
• The message box toolbar has its own Effort menu next to the model, new permission mode icons, and a quieter layout, and an open chat's row under the box shows only Worktree or Local and the branch. (#863)
• Jira is no longer offered as an issue tracker, and a project that used it now has none. (#864)
• The model picker has a rail to switch between Favorites, Claude and Codex, shows only that provider's models with older ones folded under Legacy models, and dims the other provider in a chat that has started. (#869)
• A new chat opens with your first message already at the top, and a chat that is still loading no longer shows the new chat welcome. (#870)
• The line that groups a chat's workspaces in the sidebar is now a single straight guide, and the selected row no longer covers it. (#873)
• Where a new chat runs and which branch it starts from moved into the + menu, Hand off and Build here is a switch, the extra attach button is gone, and ^⌘1 to 9 pick a Claude or Codex model in any chat. (#876)
• The footer now shows an update's download progress, and a failed update check says why, such as no internet connection, with a Try again button. (#877)
• Home and End move to the first and last chat tab, and a shared file that can no longer be found says so instead of disappearing from the chat. (#878)
• Escape now dismisses the newest toast, Command Option Z presses its Undo, Settings shows its title with a loading or Try again state, and the usage data question can be closed with Escape to be asked again next launch. (#879)
• Escape now stops a running turn, Stop stays available while you type and returns queued messages to the box, and a queue or mode that fails to load says so with a Retry. (#880)
• Every scroll the chat makes on its own, a sent message, Scroll to bottom, the chat rail and Approve, now moves the same way, and a failed answer no longer makes the view jump. (#881)
• The setup checks now say when they are taking longer than expected and offer Check again, and Home offers to add your first project when you have none. (#882)
• The model picker is cleaner, with one line per model and its effort beside the model name in the message box, and Cmd+Shift+/ now cycles the effort. (#883)
• Issues keeps the loaded list when a refresh fails, tells apart GitHub being signed out, the repo being gone and being offline, and points a rejected Linear token to Settings, Integrations. (#884)
• Connect a repo and Open a folder show when they are loading, empty or failed with Try again, the GitHub header shows your real sign-in, and a project setup that stops says so. (#885)
• Pull requests now says when its status was last read and warns when GitHub couldn't be reached, Delete in History shows a Try again when it can't count, and Projects and Pull requests remember their tab. (#886)
• Inbox, Issues, Projects, Pull requests and History now share the same list keys: the arrows or J and K to move, Home and End to jump, and Enter to open. (#887)
• Work shows each issue's agent and pull request state, with the ready PR one click from Merge, and Open pull requests start with what can merge, then what needs you. (#889)
• Buttons now show a clear hover and press and fade between them. (#892)
• A chat rail jump or a send that another scroll interrupts now finishes cleanly, and the approval fold, group collapse, queue tray and modal backdrop share one set of timings. (#893)
• A question's choices are one group you move through with the arrow keys, the merged pull requests note sits above the list, and "Try again" buttons stay busy until the reload finishes. (#894)
• Escape now closes the innermost thing first and a toast last, and closing a menu, picker, modal or the command palette puts focus back where it was opened. (#896)
• A project setup step that failed now has a Try again button, and Try again in Connect a repo and Open a folder waits for the list to actually reload. (#897)
• Escape in a text field no longer backs out of the plan question, a retry on an issue waits for its own load, and the GitHub issue list shows its 100 issue note at the top. (#898)
• Rooms are now called projects everywhere in Kernel. (#899)
• Sending a message now shows it at the end of the chat at once, and the chat stays at the end while the reply streams, with no scroll to the top. (#906)
• Work, Issues shows the last list and the last issue you read at once when you come back, then refreshes in the background. (#909)
• The Lead's PRs tab shows an approved review in green and a failing state in red, each with a small icon, so you can spot what is ready and what is broken. (#912)
• Sending a message, Stop, Retry, Send now and approving a plan now show their result at once, with the message, the Working line and the box all changing together, and the placeholder no longer flickers. (#913)
• Issue chips in a chat show the issue's title on hover and open it in Issues, or in your browser when Issues can't show it. (#917)
• The demo on the landing page shows the latest version of the app. (#918)
• The ⌘K palette opens with your recent items and actions, has tabs for Chats, Shared, Pages and Projects, and shows an icon on each row. (#924)
• The composer no longer suggests your next message. (#925)
• The panel toggle takes the colour of the pull request band when the panel is open. (#926)
• Project settings are down to six pages, and Scripts edits the setup and archive scripts in place with line numbers, with Permissions, Skills and MCP servers now on Agents and Files to copy on Environment. (#931)
• New workspaces run the project's scripts right away, without asking you to trust them first. (#934)
• Inbox and Pull requests open where you left them, including after a restart. (#936)
• The right panel, file and diff views, and the setup and run logs reopen where you left them, including after a restart. (#937)
• Issues, History, All projects, Settings and the sidebar reopen where you left them, even after a restart. (#938)
• Search is now a field above New chat in the sidebar that opens the ⌘K palette. (#947)
• Shared pages, files, images, text and diffs now fill the column, and the message box under them shrinks to one line until you click it, type, or have something to answer. (#951)
• A GitHub issue handed to an agent in a project that uses Linear now brings its description, labels and assignees, and so does a Linear issue in a project that uses GitHub. (#953)
• Settings, MCP servers opens right away with the last results and updates each account as its check finishes. (#955)
• Switching accounts happens at once, with no confirmation and no notice, and a chat only asks how to move when it has to wait for your answer. (#956)
• Kernel now moves to an account with room before the one in use hits its limit, unless you turn it off in Settings, Accounts. (#956)
• New chat opens even before you have a project, and offers Connect a repo, Open a folder and Start from scratch above the message box. (#957)
• Settings, MCP servers shows the last results while it checks each account, and when each was last checked. (#959)
• A fresh install opens on a short Kernel splash and then New chat, and a check that needs fixing shows one line above the message box instead of its own screen. (#960)
• The footer shows usage for the account in use only, so a stray click there never switches accounts, and your other accounts' usage is in the Usage popover. (#961)
• Connect a repo is now Clone a GitHub repo: paste a URL or pick one of your repos, shown with their avatars and descriptions, choose where it goes, and Clone starts the project right away. (#963)
• Open a folder is one list with your pick highlighted, takes a folder dropped on it, and offers to create a private GitHub repo for a folder that isn't on GitHub yet. (#964)
• New project starts from scratch as an empty repo with a README, asks only for a name, a location and the private GitHub repo to create, and links to Clone a repo and Open a folder for the rest. (#965)
• A new project opens straight into its New chat, where setup shows as a few plain rows instead of a screen of its own, and adding a project no longer installs dependencies, so it is ready in seconds. (#966)
• Setup and archive scripts, pull request instructions and account names in Settings save as you edit them, with no Save button. (#968)
• Settings, MCP servers updates as soon as a chat finds a server that needs a sign-in or works again, and handing work to an agent says when one of its tools needs a sign-in on the account it runs on. (#971)
• Up next in New chat fills up to three issues from Backlog when Todo has fewer. (#976)
• The chat holds still while it opens, follows and reveals a plan, instead of jumping between positions. (#979)
• A long chat opens in place after a restart without moving as it draws. (#981)
• A teammate's chat no longer shows a line each time Kernel brings its pull request up to date with the base branch. (#982)
• A new chat shows its branch, its worktree and its setup script as plain rows above the first message, with the elapsed time and the last line of output while setup runs, and a message sent meanwhile can go out at once with Send now. (#983)
• The account menu shows the check for the account in use on the left, lines up each account's plan on the right, lists API keys after subscriptions and keeps Manage accounts and Settings together. (#985)
• A brief that waited for another pull request to merge is now the first thing in the teammate's chat, with no Kernel notes above it. (#988)
• The account menu shows the Claude and OpenAI marks before their groups, icons on Manage accounts and Settings, and a larger, easier to read Settings shortcut, which also applies to shortcuts in other menus. (#990)
• Settings, Models has separate Frontend and Backend rows, so frontend and backend agents can run on different models, and a model you chose for engineers before carries over to both. (#992)
• Kernel answers questions without ending on an offer to file or hand off the work. (#993)
• A Lead chat's header is one row: the project, then the chat tabs, with the chat's title shown once. (#997)
• New chats in a project you've already set up open without the setup rows at the top. (#998)
• The dark and light themes use neutral greys, so the sidebar, the chat and the message box are easier to tell apart. (#1000)
• Up next on New chat shows Plan on every issue, so you can see what to click without hovering. (#1002)
• Kernel files, edits, comments on or moves a tracker issue only after you say so in your latest message, or once you approve a plan. (#1004)
• Settings, Models lists the agents each role applies to and marks the ones that set their own model. (#1007)
• Switching accounts keeps the account menu open with a spinner on the chosen account, and the footer shows the new account as switching until its usage arrives. (#1008)
• The model picker opens older models in a flyout beside the list instead of growing it, and its rows have even spacing and clearer hover and selected states. (#1009)
• A draft in a message box comes back with the cursor and scroll where you left them, and a draft restored after a restart opens at its end. (#1010)
• In Settings, Models, each role's Model opens the same picker as the composer, with Claude and Codex tabs, logos and a Legacy models flyout. (#1011)
• Hover previews of images, pasted text and issues now sit in a framed card with a lit top edge. (#1012)
• Project icons show the picture's own colors instead of grayscale. (#1013)
• The model picker's Effort and Legacy models menus open with the same small gap beside the picker. (#1017)
• Build here chats show a PR's progress as short status lines, and Kernel only replies when something needs you. (#1018)
• In Build here chats, a review of the chat's own PR shows as a compact card, and older chats no longer repeat the PR's opened and ready lines in a Team update card. (#1019)
• In Build here, Kernel asks before changing files when your message is a question or leaves the fix open, the same way Hand off asks before handing work out. (#1021)
• Build here chats no longer repeat that a pull request opened or is ready to merge when the reply or review already says so. (#1023)
• Hovering Not reviewed on a pull request says when automatic review is off. (#1026)
• Pressing ⌘, while Settings is open now takes you back to the app. (#1027)
• A chat's row in the sidebar shows its pull request's state after Build here, as a teammate's row does. (#1028)
• Kernel no longer repeats that automatic review is off each time a pull request is ready to merge. (#1029)
• The sidebar's Search field now sits as close to New chat as the rows below it sit to each other. (#1031)
• Settings, Models and effort shows each role as one model chip with its effort and compact window, and an agent count that opens the list of agents on that row. (#1032)

Fixed

• Fixed long commands in a turn's steps running past the edge of the chat. (#852)

• Fixed the sidebar button shifting slightly when the sidebar is shown or hidden. (#861)

• Fixed Settings (Skills, Integrations, Privacy) and the files panel showing "empty" or "not connected" before they had loaded, or after a failed read. (#910)

• Fixed a chat drifting toward the bottom each time you left it and came back. (#940)

• Fixed Settings, MCP servers showing a server as ready when it still needed a sign-in. (#952)
• Fixed a project pausing at a limit while some of its chats could still run on another account, and Sign in on a signed-out added account signing in the wrong login. (#956)
• Fixed a chat losing its history after moving to an account that had kept its own chats folder, and a removed account's running turn carrying on without a login. (#956)
• Fixed a script or pull request instruction in Settings losing what you were typing when its settings file changed on disk, and Escape in the instructions sheet now closes it without saving the edit. (#970)
• Fixed a chat with a plan waiting shaking after you switch to another chat and back. (#972)
• Fixed the GitHub owner picker in New project and Open a folder opening a macOS menu instead of Kernel's own dropdown. (#984)

• Fixed a chat with Kernel being unable to edit files in its own folder, including after Kernel renamed that folder. (#994)
• Fixed a chat with Kernel saying it could edit files right after a switch to Build here, while the reply already running still couldn't. (#996)
