What's Changed

[1.0.9] - 2026-07-09

Added

  • AI Coding support for ClaudeCode and Codex, including dedicated settings panels, configuration storage, localized UI strings, and launch helpers.
  • Project terminal actions for starting ClaudeCode or Codex sessions from the bottom dock with configured commands, permissions, and environment overrides.
  • Right-panel terminal tabs so local and SSH terminal sessions can move between the bottom dock and the right-side workspace.
  • Fullscreen support for the bottom terminal dock, allowing the dock to take over the conversation area and restore the previous height when exiting.
  • Introduced the Creative Production extension with MCP assets, enabling material import and step-by-step creation workflows including mood board, shot/style intake, ad/scene/offer/logo exploration, and generative polish across 9 skill packs.
  • Added local prototype setup and user context management to the product-design extension, supporting prototype bootstrap scripts, user context initialization, communication protocols, and key overrides.
  • Collapsible tool-call execution runs in chat, allowing tool-call output to be collapsed for a cleaner conversation view.
  • Web search block component for displaying server-side web search results with expandable source list
  • Native worker auto-restart with exponential backoff and heartbeat monitoring
  • Lifecycle events (onReconnect, onDisconnect) for native worker management
  • Support for Anthropic and OpenAI built-in web search tools
  • Permission management UI translations and full-access mode confirmation
  • Content blocks utility for upserting web search blocks during streaming
  • Builtin search enabled flag in provider store configuration

Changed

  • Reworked the title-bar folder action to open the existing right-side Files tab instead of a separate working-folder panel.
  • Restored the closed right panel to a zero-width state without a persistent border or icon rail.
  • Improved bottom terminal sizing and xterm layout so maximized or resized terminals keep their bottom row visible.
  • Refactored code structure for improved readability and maintainability.
  • Renamed product design references and removed related dead code.
  • Refactored AssistantMessage to simplify debug tool call handling
  • Improved native worker resilience with crash logging and stderr capture
  • Enhanced provider store with built-in search capability detection

Technical

  • Extended terminal session state with surface tracking and environment overrides for AI Coding launches.
  • Added shared ClaudeCode/Codex launch resolution utilities and settings routes.
  • Creative Production extension ships with a standalone MCP server, widget assets, and Python scripts.
  • Product Design extension includes prototype templates, bootstrap scripts, and user context management tooling.

Fixed

  • Native worker now properly restarts on unexpected crashes with exponential backoff
  • Web search blocks update in place instead of stacking duplicates
