Notifications, native Bedrock, and parallel app copies

Chat now has real notifications, unread badges, and a notification center, so off-channel messages, mentions, and workflow events surface reliably. AWS Bedrock now has a first-class connection with IAM and bearer-token sign-in, and you can launch multiple copies of the app at once to work in parallel workspaces or accounts.

Chat

Notifications and unread state are now first-class. The header has a bell with a popover for recent notifications and mark-read controls, and unread badges appear on each channel in the sidebar. Mentions, workflow completions, workspace invites, and added-to-channel events behave consistently whether or not chat is in front. Off-channel unread badges no longer get stuck, and assistant replies that arrived during a channel switch no longer appear half-rendered.

The user menu in the workspace switcher reflects your actual plan and member count for the active workspace instead of a hardcoded string. Plan details only display when billing matches the workspace you have open, and the menu falls back gracefully when billing data is unavailable.

After switching workspaces, the DM picker and @-mention autocomplete show every member of the new workspace. Previously other workspaces could come up with empty member lists until you reloaded.

When no conversation is selected, the toolbar and message input are hidden so the empty state is no longer crowded by inert controls. Selecting a synced conversation that hasn’t loaded yet now hydrates its history immediately instead of showing an empty thread.

Settings

AWS Bedrock now has a dedicated provider path. You can configure Bedrock with either IAM credentials or a Bedrock personal access key (HTTP bearer token), and requests go directly to Bedrock instead of through an OpenAI-compatible shim. Region handling and credential validation are explicit, and Bedrock-specific failures produce clearer error messages in chat.

Workspace icon changes save before the success UI appears, so the avatar you picked actually sticks after a restart. If the save fails, the form stays editable and surfaces an error toast instead of pretending it succeeded.

Settings load and refresh smoothly. Theme, UI scale, notifications, language, knowledge graph, and connection toggles all stay in sync with what you actually set, fixing cases where toggles appeared stale, theme indicators lagged, and settings were fetched twice on open. Switching between workspaces is instant once you’ve visited them.

Auth

Workspace UI preferences (last workspace, last channel per workspace) have moved out of the OS keychain into regular app config. A one-time migration moves your existing data over and clears the legacy entries, which removes a class of keychain prompts on startup.

The brief login screen flash some users saw on app launch is gone. The app now resolves your sign-in state before deciding whether to show login, the workspace loader, or chat, so cold start lands in the right place without a momentary flicker.

The login QR code refreshes correctly when it expires, instead of leaving you stuck with a stale code.

Specialists

The Specialists Marketplace has dropped the Local Only capability filter and its keyboard shortcut. Filtering is now search-only, and the header and search input have been refreshed to match the rest of the app.

Performance

Panel layout saves no longer hang when changes pile up. Saves are coalesced to the latest layout per workspace, no-op changes are skipped, and slow saves time out cleanly so they can’t block follow-up saves.

Other

You can now run multiple copies of the app at the same time. This is useful for working in two workspaces, two accounts, or comparing channels side by side without restarting.

Linux launches no longer crash in some configurations. The sidebar resize handle no longer triggers the window drag, so resizing the sidebar works on the first try.

Polish & fixes

Connection cards no longer cut off long action badges.
