A running nodecode updates itself.

Highlights

Ask at the page. A turn can ask you a question in the web page or the desktop app and wait for your pick. (#185)
A fuller web page. A Board of tasks (To do, Running, Needs you, Done), Ctrl+K command palette, Ctrl+P quick open, and Settings > Shortcuts to rebind any key. The Files view edits and saves files in syntax colours, and the message box records voice. (#184)
Steer or stop helpers from a session's page, one at a time or all at once. A helper you steer answers with what you asked. (#194)
MCP sign-in. Remote MCP servers sign in with OAuth. A server waiting on a browser sign-in, such as npx mcp-remote URL, now fails in seconds and shows the sign-in link instead of hanging for minutes. (#202)
Make a cell by talking: /cells new, or New cell in the Cells tab. (#158)
Guided setup: nodecode gateway setup walks you through a setup sheet step by step. Discord sets up from the bot token alone. (#150)
Start on a model with a prompt: nodecode --model M -- PROMPT. --prompt-file FILE, @FILE and piped stdin give it the prompt too. (#151, #155)
Cron wakes a session on its own when something outside changes, such as a red CI run.

Anthropic: a session no longer fails every turn with 400 unexpected tool_use_id after a cancel or restart. (#140, #187)
Stalled streams: a stream that stops sending content is cut after three idle timeouts, and an attempt that never sends any after fifteen. It retries or moves to the backup model. (#117, #138)
A model stuck in a loop is cut and run again, never taken as its answer. (#118)
A full /tmp no longer fails every turn, and a failed write names its file. (#196)
An image over 2000 px a side or 5 MiB is shrunk to fit before it is sent. (#119)
Terminal: behind tmux or screen the pane keeps its title, the cursor no longer flickers while the screen paints, and a long session opens faster. (#156, #180, #154)
edit and write-file keep a file's permissions. A backgrounded (sh ...) returns what its command printed, and output that isn't UTF-8 shows ? instead of failing. (#130, #131, #161)
Several homes on one machine no longer delete each other's cached images. (#120)
An update carries over a definition that moved to another file, and an install cleans up old releases nothing uses. (#165, #122, #164)
A profile made from your settings keeps the cells the hub installed and the folder a pinned provider needs. (#109, #111)
A models.dev address with a ${NAME} placeholder asks you for the value. (#116)
An eval runs on its own turn's model. (#153)
Interrupting work can no longer leave a system library lock held. (#152)

Ctrl+Y selects transcript text from the keyboard. (#135)
The guard asks Allow once or Deny before it refuses a call.
The MCP tab shows one line per server, its tools folded out, with a search across them.
/channels picks the Discord bot's channels, people and roles.
nodecode web --print prints the page's link without opening a browser. (#157)
nodecode add says what it is waiting on, and names it when it gives up. (#125)
(mcp:login NAME ADDRESS) finishes an MCP sign-in from another machine's browser.

The built-in JPEG decoder is gone. An oversized JPEG is shrunk with ImageMagick, ffmpeg or sips when one is installed, and otherwise sent as it is. (#204)
The settings sheet, the cells sheet and /generations use one layout at every width. A narrow window gets a slimmer side rail. (#204)
/tree no longer marks cron fires, re-asks or steers, and the Konami code on the home mark is gone. (#204)

Under the hood

Code: about 3,000 kernel lines cut with all tests passing (#142, #192, #204). The source moved to one src/, with tools grouped by job (#145, #147, #148, #167).
Proofs: Lean proofs for the retry ladder, credential chain, context budget, self-edit hold and cell start deadlines, checked in every CI run (#136, #137, #138, #139, #143, #144).
CI: Perf and Nightly jobs guard speed and memory on every change (#146, #149, #159, #160, #201).
Tests and build tooling: #121, #123, #128, #129, #133, #134, #162, #172, #173, #197.
Docs: the nodecode.ai/docs reference now lives in this repo, checked by CI (#178, #189).
Cells: a hub clone follows its index pin (#114). The bundled cells pin moved 16 times (#115, #124, #132, #163, #171, #181, #182, #183, #186, #188, #191, #193, #195, #202, and two direct commits).
Version bump (#200).
