v1.4.187

Thank you so much for using Orca and for your continued support! ❤️

Please note: It usually takes 48–72 hours for a landed PR to be released (except P0+ fixes). We have many more exciting PRs and features coming in later versions!

Notable changes

• Share private skill bundles safely between your Orca hosts.
• When a website asks you to sign in with a passkey, the in-app browser now lets you choose the account to use.
• Choose the location for a new worktree as you create it, instead of moving it afterwards.
• Terminal input is more reliable, especially for languages that use an input method editor. You can also see where a terminal is running and read its visible screen from the CLI.
• Agent sessions are more reliable: a Codex file temporarily locked during security scanning is less likely to sign you out or lose session state, and Orca better shows when agents are working or need your input.
