Release notes

Watch a plan as it is written

0.2.0-beta.89 · September 27, 2026

While a plan is being written, a tab shows the markdown as it streams. Cloud chats start at a 256k working window and compact at 80% of the window you pick.

New

  • A plan call opens a tab and renders the plan as the arguments arrive. The view follows the bottom until you scroll up. When the file is written, that tab becomes the plan file.
  • The model picker’s context control lists a default window, then larger sizes up to what the model advertises. The default is 256k, or the model’s maximum when that is smaller. Older history is summarised at 80% of the window you pick. The chat’s context meter uses the same numbers. Both the default and the compact point are set in ~/.vortex/config.toml or with VORTEX_CLOUD_DEFAULT_CONTEXT_TOKENS and VORTEX_CLOUD_COMPACT_AT_PCT.

Fixed

  • Each plan task says what changes, which files, and how to tell it is done, so a parallel build can hand that task to a sub-agent. The build names the plan file, so the sub-agent can read the section when the task line is not enough. When the readings lead to different plans, Plan mode asks before writing one.
