2.3.4

What's new in 2.3.4

Find settings faster, work with agents beside your plugins, and keep conversations moving. Zana 2.3.4 adds Design Docs and plugin panel agents, makes busy projects more responsive, and improves agent approvals, recovery and quit protection.

New

• Design Docs. Install the optional plugin from Plugins to write and review specs, RFCs and ADRs with multi-file documents, mermaid diagrams, HTML mockups, review comments and revision history. Agents can read, edit and comment through dedicated tools, and documents can be published as rendered pages with a shared site kit.
• Search every setting. Search names, help text, options and current values, with typo-tolerant results in Settings and the command palette. Selecting a result opens and highlights the exact control, including plugin settings and machine cards. Secret values are excluded.
• Agents beside plugin pages. Open a new agent from a plugin page’s side panel and keep its conversation beside your work. PR Monitor’s panel agent can manage tracked PRs, filter the board and open PR details.
• Agents-only sidebar view. Show just your running agents in the sidebar, each tagged with its project, without the project rows.
• Send now for queued prompts. Send a queued prompt immediately from the desktop or an authenticated phone, after a single confirmation.
• Swipe to close on the phone. Swipe left on an agent card in the phone kanban to close it.
• Optional Salesforce toolkit providers. Use project- and org-scoped Salesforce tools with approval for actions that make changes, plus an improved Agent Script editor toolbar. The toolkit update adds SOQL schema checks, Data 360 write confirmation, Omni-Channel Flow authoring and AgentScript voice review.
• Prompt Library. Install the optional plugin from Plugins to browse prompt history, star useful prompts, and restore their structured content into the composer.
• Native agent questions. Supported providers can present choices and accept free-text answers directly in a conversation. Answer drafts survive navigation and reloads.
• Experimental provider controls. Enable safe-mode and service-tier controls in Experimental settings for providers that support them.

Improved

• Design Docs workbench. Download a complete document as a ZIP, collapse the document list and file tree with remembered state, and filter by status or project with document counts. Open a linked agent conversation beside the document.
• Easier-to-scan Agents List. Group agents by project or recent activity, filter unread conversations, collapse status groups and read longer titles. Selected threads retain their right-hand panel.
• Cleaner conversation panels. A simpler thread header, clearer question cards, elapsed working indicators and compact background activity make conversations easier to follow. Plugin pages use the available width when their side panel is open.
• HTML previews. HTML files open in a rendered side-panel preview with a Code / Preview toggle.
• Library naming. The notes and findings plugin is now consistently called Library, keeping it distinct from Design Docs.
• Smaller archived history. Archived threads preserve the conversation while compacting tool output, reasoning and other execution details in the background.
• A more responsive desktop. Project rosters and unread counts use less repeated work, conversation outlines reuse unchanged history, and hidden panes suspend unnecessary refreshes. Large-repository status checks run in the background, keeping project requests responsive.
• Lighter Settings startup. Settings sections load when needed, reducing the initial renderer bundle.
• Clearer AI Harness settings. Installation status, searchable model lists, and grouped launch settings make setup easier to inspect and use with the keyboard.
• Model-list recovery. Refresh and retry actions recover provider catalogs while retaining usable choices during temporary failures.
• Models on any machine. Remote hosts load their model lists without needing a project checkout, and CLI Agents always use the selected host's catalog.
• Faster startup with plugins. The desktop becomes ready without waiting for plugins to scan, build or start, and a stalled plugin recovers automatically with bounded retries.
• Clearer Git import errors. Importing a project from Git explains access failures, keeps Git's diagnostics, and lets you retry.
• Project pane dragging. Dragging from the project sidebar now supports diagonal movement into pane drop targets.

Fixed

• Quit confirmation now protects running Modern agents and pending questions as well as terminals, including hidden agents. Cancel keeps their work running.
• Worktree agents start in their provisioned worktree rather than the source checkout, and threads use the clearer “Worktree” label.
• Windows provider startup and CLI installation handle command wrappers and executable resolution correctly.
• Pi extension prompts respect timeouts, support number-key selection, and handle oversized content. Follow-up work from extensions stays in the same turn, and unreadable images produce an explanation.
• Slow conversation reads retry once before showing a timeout banner.
• Provider approval and permission changes apply consistently to new and resumed turns, including Plan transitions.
• Queued prompts, attachments, and answer drafts retain their content across navigation and recovery.
• Uploaded images and files are copied to the selected remote host before dispatch, so remote agents receive readable paths.
• Voice retry preserves the recording and original submission without duplicating transcript text.
• Conversation message links, search results, browser download authorization, and browser recovery behave more consistently.
• Provider shutdown and oversized output recovery clean up owned resources without losing later valid messages.
• ACP agents keep their default model when launched as CLI Agents.
• Timed-out Job Team blockers escalate to the coordinator, survive restarts, and can be recovered safely when all work is read-only.
• Modern owner threads wait for their provider to register before starting, avoiding a startup race.
