v0.49.0

[0.49.0] - 2026-10-26

Added

• Session tools: Save tool choices and apply them consistently to current and new SDK sessions (#8881, #8819).
• Phone setup: Guide device pairing from Settings (#8640).
• Kimi models: Add K3.1 Pro and Highspeed with region-aware availability (#8635).
• Coding settings: Configure repository policy and explicitly add or remove watched repositories from Settings (#8588, #8610).
• Work feed: Limit an instance's feed to sessions it started (#8604).
• Neo settings: List muted sessions and unmute them individually (#8590).
• Document previews: Show file tabs and retain preview workspace navigation state (#8583, #8586, #8595).
• Coding verification: Admit recorded manual merges through the existing completion gates (#8484).

Changed

• Database writes: Route live SDK message writers through the database gateway (#8570).

Fixed

• Model discovery: Keep cold SDK startup within bounded parallel discovery, return healthy providers when another stalls, and let browser model lists wait for discovery (#8930).
• Neo chat: Keep the scrolled-up view stable and hide system-forwarded worker messages from the human conversation (#8927, #8922).
• SDK startup: Start sessions without inheriting auto mode, and allow workers to run isolated local test servers (#8923, #8925).
• Desktop delivery: Queue Codex work even when Desktop ownership is temporarily unavailable (#8879).
• New-user sessions: Resolve model targets with thinking effort, keep non-coding work in one visible folder, and isolate automatic project discovery (#8617, #8621, #8620).
• Tools panel: Show the tools observed in the current SDK query (#8636, #8641).
• Neo work: Deliver worker milestones and card answers reliably; keep Waiting on you cards first with stable ordering (#8843, #8834, #8911).
• File previews: Preserve preview and draft context and allow explicit non-sensitive attachment paths (#8801, #8811, #8883).
• Responsiveness: Move queued work, native feed, GitHub poll, mailbox and settings writes to the database writer, reclaim stale jobs, and keep slow WebSocket clients connected (#8898, #8868, #8905, #8871, #8931, #8921, #8917, #8882).
• Coding ledger: Reduce review-query overhead, scan fairly across quota failures, and diagnose stale approved PR observations (#8861, #8893, #8906).
• Worker isolation: Enforce the prepared worker OS write sandbox (#8632).
• Device pairing: Restore hyperneo pair and hyperneo devices in compiled binaries and list both commands in help (#8615).
• First start: Download the Claude Code SDK without blocking the event loop, load embeddings in compiled binaries, and preserve explicit test mode in compiled entrypoints (#8599, #8601, #8612).
• Browser security: Refuse cross-site WebSocket upgrades and mutating HTTP requests (#8594).
• Neo cards: Link reply notices to their question cards and preserve the human turn context (#8584, #8603).
• Neo model menu: Restore model and thinking choices on the Neo page (#8587).
• Desktop delivery: Match direct and retried messages to the receiver's current permission mode (#8577, #8592).
• Coding events: Keep PR events across restarts and log skipped unowned events (#8598).
• Repository watches: Start with no watched repositories and require explicit enrolment (#8608).
• Prepared Claude workers: Persist native Edit/Write denies for the main checkout and sibling clones while allowing the worker's own clone; unlisted outside directories still require the next OS-sandbox slice (#8606).
