v1.5.3

v1.5.3 tightens workspace-in-chat flows, improves file browsing on touch devices, and fixes several session, upload, and shell UX rough edges.

Highlights

• You can now add files and directories to chat directly from the workspace, and chat path links support configurable aliases (#239, #271, #273, #288, thanks @DerrickBarra)
• The file browser now has a markdown document viewer and in-app PDF support (#248, #254, thanks @DerrickBarra and @gauravprasadgp)
• Touch behavior in the file browser is better: long-press opens the context menu, and compact actions moved into kebab menus (#299, #303, #307, thanks @DrJsPBs)
• Session visibility is more reliable: spawned child sessions, channel sessions, and orphaned agent sessions stay in the sidebar (#226, #236, #297, thanks @DerrickBarra and @cyan-ember)
• Uploads are cleaner: the paperclip is now the main upload entry point, and attachments use a canonical reference contract (#229, #231, thanks @DerrickBarra)
• The command palette is easier to find on desktop and mobile (#291, #292, #293, thanks @DrJsPBs)
• The UI now supports adaptive thinking selection (#302)

• Inherited effort labels now persist across reloads, and root labels derive more reliably from identity (#257, #259, thanks @DerrickBarra and @DrJsPBs)
• Assigned Kanban execution now falls back to the full session list when narrower queries miss valid targets (#287, thanks @DrJsPBs)
• The panel divider stays interactive while the sidebar is collapsed, and a follow-up resizable-panel lint issue is fixed (#281, #289, thanks @zhangyihao697-art)
