Release notes

Live status that names the work, not a frozen "Thinking…"

0.2.0-beta.56 · September 17, 2026

While the agent is working, chat shows what it is doing — editing a file, running a command — instead of a blank turn or a generic "Thinking…" covering the real work.

Fixed

  • An in-flight step with no prose yet no longer looks frozen; the live status line still has a home.
  • Streaming "Thinking…" no longer hides a status that names concrete work (Editing a file, Running a command).
  • A malformed plan envelope no longer wipes the rest of the assistant message after the turn settles.
  • The live plan card and the inline plan no longer vanish together while the envelope is still streaming.
  • A review patch that fails to apply is kept and logged instead of disappearing.

New

  • Live status can name the tool being composed before it starts, without drawing a ghost tool row.
Newer release Live status that names every in-flight tool, and edit counts that stay honest Older release Menus stay on top of Browser, and MCP you can scope

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.
