Release notes

The agent reads code by symbol

0.2.0-beta.172 · October 23, 2026

The agent can now read a single function, method or class by name, and its searches show which symbol each match is in, so it re-reads less code to find its way.

New

  • The agent can read one symbol by name (for example Session::start), including its doc comments, instead of guessing line ranges.
  • Search results show the function or class each match sits in, and mark where a symbol is defined.
  • vortex stats reports how the agent navigates code: reads per edit, repeated reads of the same code, and how often it uses symbol lookups.

Improved

  • Reading part of a large file names the function or class it falls in, with its full line range.
  • Rust methods are found under their type (Type::method) in code outlines and symbol search.
