Release notes

Plan mode keeps its tools

0.2.0-beta.99 · September 28, 2026

Plan mode keeps search and read tools for the whole plan. Compaction stays at the point you picked, even when the answer allowance is large. A dead SSH connection is replaced instead of reused.

New

  • vortex stats prints why a run never finished, and groups backend request failures. Paths and numbers in those messages are masked.

Fixed

  • Plan mode no longer strips search and read tools after a long investigation. A sub-agent in Plan mode can only scout or explore. An edit or review child stays blocked until Build.
  • Compaction stays at the chosen point in the context window. A large answer allowance does not pull it forward. The summary, file reads, and search results grow with that window.
  • A cloud request shrinks its output budget so the prompt plus the allowance fit the model's window.
  • A dead SSH connection is dropped. The next call uses a new one, and the liveness check reports the drop once.
  • A chat that lost its workspace folders uses the folders saved for that workspace, so a relative path still resolves.
  • The agent closes every checklist item before it finishes, re-runs a check after a fix, and treats the edit diff as proof the edit applied. Correctness still needs the verification check. It may read a file again after an edit miss, or when the file may have changed.

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.
