Release notes

A tab belongs to a chat, and you can move it

0.2.0-beta.148 · October 16, 2026

A terminal or browser tab belonged to whichever chat happened to be looking at it, so a terminal opened in one chat became another chat's the moment you glanced at it — and that chat's agent could then take it over. Tabs now have a real owner, and moving one is something you do on purpose.

Improved

  • A terminal or browser tab keeps the chat that opened it. Looking at another chat's tab no longer hands it over, and that chat's agent can no longer acquire it.
  • Right-click a terminal or browser tab and choose "Move to → <chat>" to hand it to another chat. A browser tab moves its engine pointer too, so the receiving chat's agent can actually drive it.
  • A terminal that belongs to another chat shows a short notice instead of a live terminal, naming the chat to go to. A browser tab you are only watching still renders — watching a page is harmless.

Fixed

  • A background-job listing is scoped to the chat that asked. On a remote workspace it was workspace-wide, so one chat could see another chat's jobs.
  • Each MCP server is answered with its own workspace roots. One workspace's roots were answering another workspace's server.
  • Cancelling a chat with no run or session scope no longer stops every chat. Cancelling everything is now an explicit action.
