AIDotNet/OpenCowork 0.9.6 on GitHub

[0.9.6] - 2026-04-21

Added background task scheduling support across the main process, IPC layer, and cowork UI.
Added Responses WebSocket protocol support for provider routing and chat streaming flows.
Added richer chat streaming error cards with localized coverage for transport, auth, rate-limit, timeout, cancellation, and parameter failures.

Synchronized session runtime state across windows so streaming progress, tool activity, and detached-session focus stay consistent.
Refactored the working-folder browser into a dedicated drawer, persisted its width, and improved remote workspace navigation behavior.
Optimized right-panel, message-list, and layout performance to reduce unnecessary rendering and keep panel interactions smoother.
Refined chat components and tool rendering for WebSocket streaming, including preserving visualize widget tool inputs for downstream rendering.

Fixed background and provider streaming retries to better handle upstream transport failures, early disconnects, and short-lived error bursts.
Fixed session creation and persistence ordering so initial messages do not race ahead of newly created sessions.
Fixed database migration behavior to skip remapping chat sessions into project-scoped records.
