Continuum 0.45.0

Continuum 0.45.0

A workspace-polish release: App Shots get a global keyboard trigger, Claude can run on a new SDK runtime, the composer takes drag-and-drop, and assistant replies finally render as real Markdown — on top of a long list of Code-sidebar and chat fixes.

New & improved

• App Shots, reworked. Capture the window of whatever app you're in by pressing both ⌥ Option keys — Continuum teleports forward and drops the shot into your prompt — with a guided Screen Recording permission wizard the first time you turn it on. (#546, #547)
• Selectable Claude SDK runtime. Claude sessions can now run on a new SDK/ACP runtime alongside the classic CLI, switchable from Settings. (#565)
• Drag-and-drop attachments. Drop files straight onto the composer to attach them to your prompt. (#554)
• Land PRs from the sidebar. A new repo-level "Land PRs" action spins up an agent to review and land your open pull requests. (#562)
• Rename anything. Right-click to rename spawn groups in the Code sidebar (#569), and rename any account tag — including "Default" — from a hover-pencil in Settings (#570).
• Markdown-formatted replies. Assistant answers now render as structured Markdown — headings, lists, quotes, and code blocks — instead of flat text, on both Mac and iOS. (#567)
• Archive keeps you in flow. Archiving the session you're in advances to the next live session in the same repo instead of dropping you to an empty composer. (#561)
• Lower energy use. The Code tab pauses its live animations and streams while it's in the background. (#560)

Fixes

• No more blank-until-scroll chat. Opening a session seeds the transcript immediately instead of showing an empty pane until you scroll. (#566)
• Steadier turn display. The active turn stays expanded while it streams and collapses to "Thought for…" only once it's done. (#552)
• Cleaner Code sidebar. Session summaries are centered with the redundant branch subtitle dropped, summaries survive the first prompt, and active branch streams reattach reliably. (#551, #553, #555)
• Diff badges hold steady. Sidebar diff counts persist through transient git probe failures instead of blinking out. (#558)
• Correct usage account. Claude usage now syncs the right account's token before polling. (#563)
• Composer polish. De-duplicated the end-of-turn copy button, kept the attachment hover bubble inside the chat edge, tightened activity spacing, fixed shortcut-override chord recording, and made the stop button more legible. (#564, #556, #548, #549, #550)
• Titlebar shows your PR. A created pull request now appears in the Code titlebar, and worktree branch naming is more reliable. (#559, #557)

Ships build 257 for Mac (signed Sparkle feed). The iOS app ships the same chat-formatting and workspace improvements via TestFlight.
