What's new in 0.5.0

Remote workspaces became usable without a restart or a hand-written config.

  • The host's own picocode.toml applies. A remote workspace merges the
    host root's config and instruction files over your local one — approval
    rules, after_edit, the system prompt and its presets, the timeouts and
    output limits. [[models]], [[mcp_servers]], [sandbox] and [search]
    always stay local, so opening a remote workspace never makes your machine
    run something it was not already configured to run.
  • /remote switches workspaces at runtime. It opens a picker listing the
    local project and the configured [[remotes]]; /remote <name|host:/path>
    and /remote local switch directly. The worker respawns on the new backend
    and the new workspace starts a fresh conversation and session log.
  • "+ add a remote…" dialog in both front ends: an ssh destination and a
    path on it, with the Host aliases from ~/.ssh/config listed to pick.
    It connects (and checks the path is a directory) before switching, then
    prints a paste-ready [[remotes]] snippet for picocode.toml.
  • GUI workspace menu. The workdir line opens a menu — local project,
    configured remotes, add a remote, choose a folder — and shows host:path
    while a remote workspace is open. Picking a local folder while remote no
    longer keeps the SSH backend (fixed).

Authentication remains entirely your own ssh setup (keys, agent,
~/.ssh/config, ProxyJump); picocode never handles credentials.
