New

  • Favorite Agents and Crews: a star on an Agent's card, settings page, or chat header, and on the same surfaces for a Crew, favorites them into the sidebar Favorites group. Favoriting also pins the Agent or Crew in the directory; un-favoriting leaves the pin in place (HF-13578, HF-13893, HF-13884).
  • Agent runs execute as the person who triggered them: a run now uses the triggerer's identity and permissions — capped at the Agent owner's — instead of always the owner's. Runs from external channels or the system still run as the owner, and a run whose triggerer has left the Organization is rejected (HF-13660).
  • Automation runs from status changes show up on the task: a run triggered by a Task status change now creates a conversation on that task, visible in its chat panel and Conversations tab, with a task card in the run detail and Token usage counted toward the task (HF-13671).
  • Cline with your own API key: connecting Cline no longer requires a Cline login — a locally configured provider or CLINE_API_KEY is enough (HF-13596).

Improvements

  • "New chat" is a lightweight dropdown: a search box, your 10 most recent Agents first, the rest grouped by Space, with Crew rows badged (HF-13786).
  • Unified conversation rows: the sidebar Chats module and the chat list now share one row — right-click to pin, rename, or mark done; "Completed" is de-emphasized and no longer blocks collapsing, and idle conversations fold after 12 hours instead of 24 (HF-13818).
  • Relative times everywhere: timestamps now render as auto-refreshing relative times (e.g. "3d ago") with the full time on hover (HF-13487).
  • Global search remembers your Space: the Space you last picked is reused next time and is no longer reset by closing the dialog or switching tabs; stale Spaces fall back to All Spaces (HF-13859).
  • Clearer task references in prose: a task mentioned in a description or comment shows its status, is clickable, and has a hover card; deleted or inaccessible tasks are struck through with an explanation (HF-13461).
  • The Docs library is now named Docs: the CLI command moves from library to docs (--personal → --my-docs), and Docs web and API URLs use /docs; old /library links redirect and existing CLIs keep working (HF-13572).
  • Models: the model picker hints to upgrade Codex when the local version is too old to list the newest models (HF-13754), custom models written to model_catalog_json (for example by cc-switch) now appear in the list (HF-13600), and the model panel's source label and upgrade hint use the Runtime's full name instead of always saying Codex (HF-13836).
  • A clearer first-run guide: new users are walked through initialize a workspace → install/configure a Runtime → create an Agent; when no Runtime is available the Create Agent step is greyed out with an explanation and skipping ends the guide (HF-13258, HF-13750).
  • Download progress on the About page: checking for updates now shows a progress bar with status and percentage (HF-13831).
  • Rich text custom fields collapse: click a rich text custom field's header to collapse or expand it; drafts survive collapsing (HF-13790).
  • Threads in task Activity are easier to read: a thread shows only its latest few replies inline, and opening the Thread drawer on the right shows the whole conversation with an inline reply box; long comments fold in place with Expand / Collapse (HF-13594).
  • The Agent's closing conclusion is no longer folded away: when a CLI Agent ends a turn, its final conclusion is kept visible below the collapsed "Completed" summary instead of inside it (HF-13788).
  • Consistent Runtime name and icon: the oh-my-pi Runtime is now shown as omp everywhere, with its official icon (HF-13681).
  • Interface details: the unread dot in the conversation list is red and sits at the avatar's top-right (HF-13854); sidebar previews no longer leak Markdown markers and the status / type / conversation-state marks gained hover tooltips (HF-13851); the sidebar Chats module keeps its first conversation visible when everything else folds into More (HF-13777); quick-reply rows are clickable across their full highlight (HF-13819); unnamed models show an inferred name with the raw id as a subtitle and no longer clip (HF-13770); the quick-replies manager spans its scope selector and names the actual Agent in the "This agent" tab (HF-13827); the skill-import panel now names the Runtime that lacks local-skill support instead of blaming the computer (HF-13804).

Fixes

  • Windows: non-ASCII (Chinese) messages in Agent chat no longer turn into ? during confirm/reply (HF-12728); the app no longer pops up node / opencode / cmd console windows repeatedly (HF-13793, HF-13751); the manual-download update dialog no longer offers only macOS packages (HF-13891).
  • Desktop: the silent page refresh after being away no longer fails when the window goes to the tray or the machine sleeps (HF-13640); a failed restart-to-update now opens a dismissable fallback dialog that guides you to download manually (HF-13817).
  • Agent chat failures and interruptions: conversations no longer stay stuck on "Thinking" and the "Working" pill after the run finished (HF-13814); after a disconnect or failure the streamed steps and partial reply are kept and the partial answer is marked Incomplete (HF-13699); failures (quota, rate limit, timeout, computer offline, Runtime unavailable, secret migration) show a localized reason and next step (HF-13595, HF-13816, HF-13539).
  • Task detail: fixes the header flickering (HF-13789), no auto-scroll to the bottom after sending (HF-13701), and a conversation opened from a link being hijacked by another conversation on the same task (HF-13862); folded threads now show the Agent conversation cards opened by an @ mention, and clicking a card opens the conversation and dismisses the thread drawer instantly (HF-13843, HF-13844).
  • Comments and mentions: @ mentioning an Agent in a comment an Agent posted from a standalone chat or another task now summons it (HF-13771); @ mentioning a different online Agent in a conversation whose bound Agent is offline now reaches it (HF-13713); sent user messages show their hover Copy / Share actions again (HF-13656); hover cards are restored on avatars in task conversations (HF-13871).
  • Inbox: unread counts are accurate and no longer flicker when switching between All / Important / Other (HF-13389, HF-13876); with a filter active, Clear all and Mark all read apply only to the matching notifications.
  • Tasks: deleting a task from the board or list no longer fails repeatedly, and a task backing a customer request explains why it cannot be deleted and links to the request (HF-13795); a shared task-list link with a filter no longer loses its filter on open (HF-13672); the status progress pie in the sidebar, Inbox, and other surfaces no longer shows a fixed half, and now matches the board everywhere by deriving from the workflow (HF-13746).
  • Files in chat: attachments you send now align to your own side of the conversation instead of the Agent's, with multiple files laid out in two columns (HF-13842).
  • Integrations: a private-network Jira import with "keep in sync" checked is no longer blocked by a 502 (HF-13779).
  • Runtimes and models: Test connection no longer falsely reports a missing API key after you pick a custom provider's model (HF-13191); fixes the Runtime panel showing a computer online while chat claims it is offline (HF-13675); the CodeBuddy (WorkBuddy) relationship note is restored (HF-13830); the bundled zcode-acp bridge is upgraded, fixing newer ZCode flickering with Method not found (HF-13833).
  • Other: new conversations no longer carry over your last custom working directory (they start from the Agent default, with recent folders one click away) (HF-13848); picking a local drive root no longer fails at run time with path is a drive root (HF-13502); auto-translated Agent instructions no longer occasionally include <instructions> tags (HF-13794); invited users in someone else's Organization are no longer trapped in a "create a Space" onboarding dialog (HF-13860); a failed Mermaid diagram no longer leaves a stray error image (HF-13772); the status dropdown filters by what you type when adding a status to a task type (HF-13899); code block copy buttons are no longer covered (HF-13397); the attachment "⋯" menu is no longer covered inside dialogs such as the new-request drawer (HF-13664); the person who triggers a run is no longer also notified when the Agent starts working on the task (HF-13791); CodeBuddy and similar Runtimes no longer leave processes behind after a run (HF-13745).
