Release notes

Tool cards that say what happened

0.2.0-beta.178 · October 24, 2026

Browser, git and command rows in the chat now show what the agent actually did, instead of raw JSON or a command cut in half.

Fixed

  • Browser cards. A browser step shows the page title and address, any dialogs or page errors, console and network entries, and what changed on the page, instead of a JSON dump. Network reads count failed requests, and an Open button takes you to the page.
  • Git cards. Git status no longer says “Working tree clean” on a repo with changes. It lists each file with whether it was added, changed, deleted or renamed, plus the branch and how far ahead or behind it is. Diffs, logs and commit output show up as they should.
  • Command rows. A command reads as the work it does: cd … &&, 2>&1, | tail and echo separators are left out, chained commands show as “+1 command”, and a long list of files shows the first one and a count instead of being cut mid-path.
  • Grouped steps. “Searched 2 times” names what was searched, “Read 2 files” names the files when they only share the project folder, and a group of one is just that step.
  • Wording. A mix of searches and edits reads “Used 4 tools”, not “Ran 4 tools”. The plan message links “Open plan” instead of repeating the title as a file name, and steps left out of the chat say so plainly.

Vortex

You describe the work. Vortex plans, edits, verifies, and ships inside your workspace. The editor, terminal, diffs, and browser are how you watch and steer — not where you are expected to write the solution.
