SideAsk v0.6.0 — SideAsk Anywhere

Select anywhere. Ask in place. Stay on track.

v0.6 brings SideAsk's focused side-question workflow from the browser into VS Code—and makes both clients feel like one local product.

Highlights

  • VS Code Companion: select code and press Alt+Shift+A for an independent streaming Markdown conversation beside the file.
  • Codex Chat and terminal input: copy the intended text and run SideAsk: Ask about Clipboard. SideAsk does not inspect another extension's UI.
  • One Provider setup: the browser and VS Code share the same 25-profile catalog, saved Providers, and default model through the Local Gateway.
  • Encrypted local Vault: API keys are encrypted on device with AES-256-GCM and are never returned to either client.
  • No account or cloud sync: recent browser questions and favorites remain browser-local; Provider configuration stays on this computer.
  • Safe upgrade: legacy browser and VS Code Provider records migrate once, non-destructively.

Install

  • Browser developer install: download or clone the source, run the Gateway, then load the extension/ folder unpacked.
  • VS Code: download sideask-vscode-0.6.0.vsix, then choose Extensions → … → Install from VSIX….
  • Gateway-only archive: sideask-gateway.zip.
  • Store submission packages are attached for Chrome Web Store and Microsoft Edge Add-ons.

Start the v0.6 Gateway before opening Provider settings. Configure a Provider in either the browser or VS Code; the other client will use it immediately.

See Updating SideAsk, the VS Code guide, and the full changelog.

SideAsk v0.6.0 — 随处可用的支线提问

v0.6 把 SideAsk 从浏览器带进 VS Code，并让两个入口共用同一套本机配置。

  • 在编辑器选中代码，按 Alt+Shift+A，在文件旁打开独立的流式 Markdown 支线对话。
  • 从 Codex Chat、终端或其他隔离界面复制文字后，运行 SideAsk: 询问剪贴板内容。
  • 浏览器与 VS Code 共用 25 个 Provider Catalog、已保存 Provider 和默认模型；配置一次，两端使用。
  • API Key 使用 AES-256-GCM 加密保存在 Gateway 本机 Vault，不会返回浏览器或 VS Code。
  • 不需要 SideAsk 账户，也没有云端同步。
  • 旧浏览器和 VS Code Provider 配置会一次性、非破坏迁移。

升级时请先启动 v0.6 Gateway，再打开 Provider 设置。完整步骤见中文更新指南和中文 VS Code 指南。

Automated acceptance: 41 tests passed across browser, Gateway, Provider Vault, and VS Code Companion.
