Persistent browser profiles, manual update checks, and task polish

A second follow-up to 1.0. You can now keep a real browser identity across conversations and projects, paste screenshots straight into a task, jump around your workspace with g-sequence shortcuts, and check for app updates whenever you want instead of waiting for the next prompt.

Persistent browser sign-in for env profiles

Each project now has named environment profiles, and browser sessions follow them. Sign in to a site in one conversation and the same cookies, local storage, and IDE state are there in every other conversation in that project — no more re-authenticating every time you start a new chat. Switch to a different profile to get a clean slate, or share a profile across projects from Project settings → Browser session sharing when you want two projects to act like the same user.

Tasks

Two long-requested affordances land together:

• Paste screenshots straight into a task. Copy an image, open a task, paste anywhere in the dialog, and it uploads to the Attachments tab through the same path as drag-and-drop. The drop-zone copy now reads “drag, drop, or paste.”
• Quieter channel attach. Linking or unlinking a channel from a task no longer yanks you into that channel. Instead, you get a toast confirmation, and the channel itself gets a clean Attached task or Removed task notice plus a composer chip the next time you open it. Draft tasks now leave the same trail as saved ones.

A redesigned New Project modal

The New Project dialog is rebuilt around a tighter, single-card layout. Codebase sources are presented as a 2x2 grid of compact cards. The active codebase form, its advanced options, and the sandbox profile editor all live inside one card with a pinned header and a single primary Create action. The sandbox permission switches, textareas, and network-access options stack cleanly inside the dialog instead of fighting it for space.

Sidebar

The Channels, DMs, and Projects sections now share the same header style as Specialists, Workflows, and Knowledge — no per-section collapse, one consistent divider that lines up with the chat heading. The standalone Home link is gone from Channels (Home is still on the main sidebar), and project rows match channel rows pixel-for-pixel: same height, padding, hover, active state, and a centered indent guide under each expanded project.

Workflows

Clicking a workflow in the sidebar opens it directly instead of flashing the home panel while the editor loads. Creating a new workflow from the + button works again from the Workflows page. Saving a workflow now refreshes the sidebar list immediately, so renames show up without a manual reload.

A simpler way to leave a workspace

The Leave workspace action moved from the admin-only Members section into Workspace Details, so any member can leave from their own settings. Sole owners still see the action, but it’s disabled with a note explaining another owner needs to be promoted first.

The AI Platform Built In as a one-click default

When The AI Platform Built In is available and your workspace has no default provider yet, it now becomes the default automatically. Admins can also pick it as the default by hand at any time, no credentials required.

Owners see the full settings nav after promotion

If another admin promotes you to Owner, your settings sidebar now updates in real time — Preferences, Members, and Billing appear immediately without needing a page reload. The same applies in the other direction when an owner is demoted back to member.

Updater

Three updater improvements:

• Check for updates on demand. A new manual update check sits in the app menu (and in the system tray on Linux and Windows) so you don’t have to wait for the next scheduled prompt.
• Forced-upgrade messaging. When a minimum-version policy is in effect, the update-required screen can now show a custom message and a direct download link to the canonical download page.
• A regression fix. Update detection works reliably again after the 1.0 updater overhaul.

Polish & fixes

You can now deselect a user from the Start a New DM picker with a small X on their pill instead of starting over. The login screen now links to Terms of Service alongside Privacy Policy, both opening in your system browser. Memory for specialists picks up early temporal-decay scoring, so newer and explicitly important memories rank ahead of stale ones — and entries past their retention window stop surfacing in normal recall. Pressing Esc in the chat composer drops focus without clearing your draft, and three new go-sequences (g h for home, g b for browser, g i for IDE) join the keyboard shortcuts panel. Feedback reports now embed your attached screenshot directly in the resulting issue with a quick “Open screenshot” link. And the embedded app panel handles pending URLs more resiliently so the page you asked for is the page that loads.
