10.24.0 - 2026-10-16

Ghostex 10.24.0 is out. Send Bug / Feedback can hand your report to an agent that gathers the details and files it, and it's on the phone too; question cards send blank questions as skipped and can send on a single pick; programs can report their own session status; Windows gets a real choice of window blur and a transparency strength that goes all the way to clear; and Source opens again for WSL projects.

🐞 Send Bug / Feedback

• Send Feedback is now Send Bug / Feedback, and it asks for your GitHub username first, so GitHub tells you when your report is fixed: the issue opens with "Reported by @you".
• Collect more data with an agent: turn it on and Start Agent hands your description and screenshots to your default agent, which gathers the version, settings and logs that help, shows you the full draft in its chat, and files the issue only after you say yes.
• The phone has Send Bug / Feedback too, in the Sessions menu after Settings, with screenshots from your photos or the clipboard. It posts even when it can't reach your computer, and while a computer is connected it can start the agent there.
• Agents can file an issue themselves with ghostex feedback send, which also shows the exact request with --dry-run.

💬 Chat

• A question you leave blank is sent as skipped, so a form goes out with Send answers whatever you answered; the separate Skip row on every question is gone, and Skip all still sends at once. On the computer, the web and the phone.
• Send when you pick an answer: turn it on in Settings > Chat (under Show Advanced) and a card that asks one single-choice question sends the moment you pick, thanks to @larik-PR.
• Skip all and Send answers show their shortcuts in a quick tooltip instead of key labels, and Skip all wears Send's colours a shade darker.
• Claude's dialogs become numbered choice cards, with rare actions folded under More, and Claude menus with tabs or bullets get clickable rows.
• A tool call or file edit waiting for your approval opens by itself, showing its command or diff, and folds back once you answer.
• The panels above the composer become one row of pills on the Working line (scroll to bottom, previous question, threads, tasks, subagents, background work), each opening its own list.
• Pictures in a reply show as a filmstrip, pictures in your own messages are small thumbnails again, and question tags are outline pills that show whether they were answered.
• A connection or server error retries quickly first and shows as a card with the retry state, Retry now and Stop retrying.
• An agent that couldn't start shows the start command's error lines instead of waiting at Starting.
• A described tool call reads its description in every mode, and with Simple mode off the work under each reply starts open.
• Files and links moves into the ⋯ menu, and Maximize chat box and Files and links get hotkeys.
• The zoom keys change one saved chat zoom that every chat follows, and messages from or to an orchestrator show its crown.

🚦 Session status

• Programs can report their own status: Claude Code 2.1.295 and later, Codex betas and your own scripts send it, and Settings > Sidebar > Session status from picks Detection, Combined or Program status only.
• A session whose program reports an error gets a red dot, and its long-press menu on the phone shows the program's own status line.

🪟 Windows

• Blur on Windows: with Desktop and windows behind the glass, pick Acrylic, Plain blur or Off in Settings > Theme > Transparency; Acrylic now stays blurred when Ghostex isn't the focused window.
• Transparency Strength goes from nearly solid to fully clear across the whole window, including an empty work area and session placeholders (on every platform).
• Source opens for WSL projects again: Ghostex no longer gives up while it prepares the Linux editor, and it clears a VS Code an older version left holding its port.
• Ghostex installs its own build of Claude Swap on Windows, which shares history between accounts and adds folder trust to session profiles.

🎨 Theme and Settings

• Background opacity and Background blur in Settings > Terminal make terminals see-through on their own, and the strip under a terminal's agent bar matches them.
• A calmer Theme page with Appearance preview cards, one Transparency choice and smaller colour squares.
• Every tooltip is a small menu with key caps, frosted under window glass.
• Settings opens bigger, Accounts is a list with a detail page and one-click Reconnect, and an account's Enabled switch keeps it saved but out of use.
• Dragging an expanded row in Settings > Agents collapses it first, and the Extensions page links to the related settings.

🧭 Orchestrators

• Threads rename themselves after the area they own, and a thread can be unlinked into a standalone session.
• Orchestrators can see and fix accounts: ghostex accounts lists every account with its usage, and ghostex agents switch-account and ghostex agents reload move or restart a stuck thread.
• A restored session keeps its launch settings, account and model, and a restored orchestrator keeps its threads and notes.

📂 Files

• A wrap button replaces Refresh, and open files follow changes on disk, like VS Code.
• A code file fills the view, with the path shown once and a see-through gutter under window glass.

🔌 Connectors (experimental)

• Each workspace can connect apps through Executor or Composio, sign them in and run tools that only read. Turn on Enable Experimental Features to see Connectors.

📱 On the phone

• On iOS a long press on the terminal opens Paste, and it pastes without the Allow Paste prompt.
• Easy Connect finds Ghostex on a Windows computer where it's installed just for you, and shows a computer's errors as plain text.
• The Android app is smaller: the APK ships for 64-bit phones only, compressed.

🩹 Fixes and polish

• An old file Ghostex can't move into its new storage folder no longer stops it from starting (#231).
• Leaving an empty chat never closes it (#236), and the first-run intro opens on a still picture with Play and fits small screens (#237).
• A session whose worktree folder was deleted reopens in the project folder.
• Skills show one row per skill in the Agents Hub, with one shared copy in ~/.agents/skills.
• ZCode sessions show Working and Attention again, chat sends reach ZCode 3.15, and a failed ZCode turn no longer leaves its session working.
• A Claude conversation moved into Claude's background daemon keeps its chat, and taking back a queued Claude message works with an empty queue.
• Codex's /status shows its output every time, and /diff's text reaches the chat.
• ghostex logs shows the newest lines, and ghostex remove-project takes a project's name or path.
• Cmd+Backspace clears the line like Ghostty, and the web app on a Mac gets the Mac editing keys and Cmd shortcuts.
• Linux: a click inside a page window no longer closes it.

Windows beta packages are not Authenticode-signed and may show a SmartScreen warning.
