Added

• Added controls to delete outdated local review comments and conversations from the Changes view without affecting GitHub review data.
• Show an Outdated badge on pull request review comments whose original code has since changed, and simplify the location label to just the file path.

Changed

• Archiving closed or merged pull request sessions from the sidebar now happens immediately, without a confirmation dialog.
• Bulk-archiving sessions grouped by date or status now prioritizes archiving closed and merged pull request sessions first, only falling back to archiving all sessions in a section when there is nothing completed to clean up.
• Improved the Manage marketplaces dialog with clearer source rows, in-dialog error and progress feedback, and better focus handling when removing marketplaces or their plugins.
• Issue and pull request timeline events now show clearer per-event icons, including a distinct closed icon for pull requests that were closed without merging.
• Moved the context window (long context) option into the reasoning picker in the composer, keeping the model details view focused on informational pricing details.
• Sidebar and right-side panels now open and close instantly, without animation, and keep your conversation scroll position stable.
• Simplified merge blocker messages for repository rules, required checks, and approvals to be more concise.
• Simplified the wording and layout of the storage and worktree location settings.

Fixed

• "Open in Visual Studio" now opens the workspace's solution file instead of landing on the folder view.
• Editing a Markdown file with nested lists indented using something other than four spaces no longer rewrites the whole file's list indentation and adds stray backslashes on save.
• Fixed a blank conversation view when opening a child session immediately after creating it; a "Creating worktree..." progress indicator now shows until the session is ready.
• Fixed a bug in the Files tab where right-clicking a nested folder and choosing New file, New folder, Rename folder, or Delete folder could unexpectedly collapse its parent folder, hiding the resulting input field.
• Fixed a bug where enabling or refreshing plugins during an active session could break the session and cause subsequent messages to fail.
• Fixed a bug where the new automation dialog could get stuck showing "Loading tools…" indefinitely when cloud automation tools failed to load; it now shows the error with a retry option.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when attaching a file while the cursor was in certain positions in the prompt box.
• Fixed a double scrollbar in the outdated comments panel and improved spacing between comment groups from different files.
• Fixed a failed session archive removing the session from the sidebar even though it was never actually archived.
• Fixed a failing check's "Open on GitHub" action not opening when its log link couldn't be resolved safely, falling back to the pull request's checks page instead.
• Fixed a phantom media player showing up in the system tray/notification area on Linux.
• Fixed a session's sidebar status staying stuck on Done when the agent resumed work on its own without a new message from you.
• Fixed an issue on macOS where a file change in one folder could incorrectly be reported for a same-named file in a different folder.
• Fixed an issue on Windows where the app could fail to recover its local data after an unexpected shutdown or corruption.
• Fixed an issue where long-running responses could be stopped unexpectedly after conversation compaction happened multiple times in a row.
• Fixed an issue where switching models or manually compacting a conversation could incorrectly trigger the "compaction repeated too quickly" safety message on the next response.
• Fixed archiving or deleting a workspace on Windows sometimes failing because an open terminal was still using the workspace's folder
• Fixed crashes that could occur in markdown rendering, the Invertocat animation, and tab navigation.
• Fixed duplicate/ghost file headers appearing in the diff view around review threads until scrolling.
• Fixed extension canvas content in the right panel sometimes staying misaligned over the conversation after resizing the sidebar or panel layout.
• Fixed external links on Windows re-prompting after you dismissed a shell-open prompt, and added a copyable error toast when a link genuinely fails to open.
• Fixed external links sometimes silently failing to open on Windows by falling back to the system file explorer when the default launch method fails.
• Fixed GitHub issue and pull request links in automation run transcripts so they open in the run's side panel instead of doing nothing.
• Fixed inbox widget links pointing to github.com instead of the correct GitHub Enterprise URL for PRs and issues.
• Fixed issue and pull request labels sometimes showing the wrong color family (e.g. a pale yellow label appearing auburn).
• Fixed local-only branches not appearing as selectable base branches when creating a new workspace from an existing branch.
• Fixed removing a project appearing to do nothing while it deletes, which could let a second confirmation trigger duplicate deletion attempts. The project now disappears immediately with a status toast, and reappears automatically if removal fails.
• Fixed reopening a pull request that was previously closed getting stuck with a broken session instead of starting a fresh one.
• Fixed the bottom fade in the conversation view overlaying the last message when the transcript is scrolled to the bottom.
• Fixed the changed-files list briefly showing an empty state instead of loading while file changes were still being loaded.
• Fixed the chat transcript getting stuck and unable to scroll while text was selected.
• Fixed the cloud automation dialog blocking creation when no optional tools were selected, so automations relying only on built-in tools can now be created.
• Fixed the composer's slash-command skill menu getting permanently stuck and no longer showing newly available skills after a failed skill list refresh.
• Fixed the conversation and composer shifting and getting clipped when changing the app's zoom level on Linux.
• Fixed the Enterprise Cloud server address field getting stuck after a failed sign-in attempt, so you can correct and resubmit the address.
• Fixed the environment picker sometimes hiding "This machine" as an option after attaching an existing project's checkout on another environment.
• Fixed the header corners of a collapsed inline comment thread appearing disconnected from an open reply draft.
• Fixed the in-app feedback form incorrectly staying unavailable after switching from a managed account to a personal account.
• Fixed the Insights tab not appearing when clicking "View session insights" from the session title popover.
• Fixed the Manage sessions title overlapping the sidebar toggle when collapsed.
• Fixed the markdown editor endlessly widening a code span that contains only spaces every time the file was saved or reopened.
• Fixed the message edit box scrolling out of view or being hidden behind the composer when editing a chat message.
• Fixed the model picker sometimes resetting to "Select model" and losing the session's reasoning effort and context tier after switching models while a turn was in progress.
• Fixed the outdated comments panel overlapping or duplicating content in the diff view, and grouped multiple outdated comments for the same file under one heading.
• Fixed the plugin details dialog sometimes showing skills from the previously-viewed plugin when switching between plugins.
• Fixed the Terminal tab being unusable in a new local folder session until the first message was sent.
• Fixed unpublished pull request and issue comments being lost when navigating away and back.
• Launching the app again while it's already running now focuses the existing window instead of opening a duplicate instance.
• Links in assistant responses that point to files in your project now open in the Files panel instead of being stripped as invalid links.
• MCP server statuses in Settings no longer flicker to unauthenticated or failed while reconnecting after opening MCP settings or changing a server. Failed connections now show a clearer "Connection failed" message with full, readable error details.
• Screen readers now announce the default timeout hint when adding or editing MCP servers
• Uninstalling or disabling a plugin now stops its extension process instead of leaving it running in the background.
• When a commit fails or appears to hang because your signing key can't prompt for a passphrase, the app now explains what happened and how to fix it, instead of showing a raw git error or seeming to do nothing.
• WSL environment settings no longer appear on macOS and Linux, where they can't be used.
