Release notes
Switch chats without sending to the last one
The tab you pick is selected before the transcript loads. A send during that switch waits. A chat beside the focused one has a reply bar. After an edit, the agent keeps working while diagnostics finish.
New
- The chat you click is highlighted immediately. A message sent while that switch is in flight waits, and the composer says it is restoring the session, until that chat is the one on screen. Resting on a chat prefetches it; a pointer that only crosses the list does not.
- A chat open beside the focused one shows Reply to that chat. Choosing it focuses the pane and puts the caret in the composer. Only the focused pane’s tab is underlined.
- After an edit, file diagnostics run in the background. The agent continues, and a finished report arrives as a later note. If that report has errors, the agent is asked to fix them or say they were already there. A still-running check is waited on only when the run is about to finish.
- A cloud model’s output cap comes from its catalog. A thinking budget sits on top of the answer allowance. When the two do not fit, the thinking budget shrinks and the answer allowance stays.
vortex statsalso prints phase timing, time to first token, cache hit rate, and edit misses. It still prints counts only.
Fixed
- The agent reads a file again only when earlier output does not already show the text to replace. A checklist or a think step goes out with the work it tracks, and verification runs once near the end.
