Pop-out chat panels and a sharper specialist builder

You can now drag any embedded app panel out of the chat window and back in again, and custom specialists are first-class citizens you can rename, duplicate, and identify at a glance. Workflows run reliably against the active workspace, billing copy reflects the live plan, and Linux startup is calmer for everyone.

Chat

Drag any embedded app panel by its header to pop it out into a standalone window, then drag it back to re-embed.

New project chats are smoother to create — they land under the right project immediately with a unique title, without flashing through general channels or stranding you on an “invite required” screen.

Focused chat threads are quieter. When you have a conversation in the foreground, background activity no longer piles up in your notification history, plays a sound, or fires an OS notification. The bell stays calm until it needs your attention.

When the chat details panel and the embedded browser are open side by side, their headers and toolbars line up. Mention chips have more breathing room, and row menus close cleanly when you move your mouse away.

Specialists

Custom specialists are now distinct from bundled ones throughout the app. The marketplace has a dedicated Custom Specialists section, the sidebar label is consistent, and a specialist no longer appears in two sidebar sections at once. Author attribution is correct again.

You can rename a published custom specialist from its detail page, set or confirm the name on the Review and Publish tab, and duplicate any specialist to start a new draft. Icons render correctly across the app, and the detail page shows a loading state instead of flashing an empty one.

In the Specialist Builder, generated role suggestions now sync to the specialist name when the draft still has a generic title, with a one-click action to adopt the role as the name when the two don’t match. Editing the Role and Purpose fields no longer floods the chat panel with persona-update messages while you type.

Connection cards only show Connect for providers that support sign-in. Specialist drafts that referenced retired Sonnet 4 models now fall back to the current default instead of failing in Test. Custom specialists’ configured tools, MCP servers, and tasks are reliably preserved when published.

Workflows

Workflows load, save, and execute reliably against the active workspace. Multi-model summary calls — GPT, Claude, and Gemini — no longer fail with workspace errors.

Settings

The Members settings include a Default role for domain auto-join, intentionally limited to Member and View only so a verified-domain join can never grant Owner or Admin privileges. You can also promote existing members directly from the members table.

Code Intelligence performance modes are renamed to Battery-aware, Balanced, and Aggressive. Changes apply immediately without a restart.

Toggling a model in provider settings is now fully optimistic — the switch flips on click and resolves correctly even when you change your mind quickly.

Starter workspaces see the Top up control disabled with explanatory copy; Basic and higher continue to see the full top-up flow. Plan descriptions have been refreshed for the launch entitlement matrix.

Auth

Deep links work consistently across the app. OAuth, OpenRouter, Google Workspace, QR auth, invites, and Stripe billing returns now share one set of handlers, with stronger protection against phishing-style misuse.

Performance

Linux startup is faster and more reliable, with GPU acceleration on by default and standard shell signals respected. The workarounds that were previously forced on every Linux user are now opt-in.

Other

Project chats with a Git repository now provision automatically once the clone finishes. Worktree mode defaults on, and the embedded IDE refreshes when the repository is ready, so cloned files appear without a manual toggle or restart.

The Knowledge Garden link is back under Manage in the sidebar.

Polish & fixes

Knowledge Sources cards no longer truncate long plot names, the empty-state icon is no longer mistakable for a button, and Add Knowledge Source dialog icons render correctly. Publishing a brand-new specialist now navigates you to the specialists list with a “now live” toast instead of leaving you on the builder.
