What's New in v0.28.40

v0.28.40 is a patch on v0.28.39. It repeats v0.28.39's notes and adds three Inbox fixes, listed first under Smaller changes.

Reply to an agent without leaving full screen, thread names lead the Inbox list, and a Claude Code session keeps its messages in one project. In code review, the sidebar is redesigned and Call flow shows its paths as cards. 29 PRs.

Plannotator Inbox

Reply from full screen

An image, video or HTML file in full screen has a card at its foot with two tabs: comment on the file, or reply to the agent. The reply is the thread's own draft, files included, and Send keeps you in full screen. Minimize the card to a small pill, or hide it.

• #2339

Thread names lead

A list row's title is now the thread's name, shown in full. The agents' icons sit beside the project. A pinned thread and an open thread show the name too.

• #2374, #2359, #2354

One project per Claude Code session

A Claude Code session now files its messages under the folder it started in, so a cd no longer makes a new project. Claude Code's own /cd still moves the session. Projects that were split before stay as they are; Archive all hides them.

• #2344

Open the files your reply commented on

In your sent reply, each file named under "Feedback on the attached files" is a link that opens the file beside the thread. If the file has since moved or been deleted, the link opens the version you sent.

• #2358

Pinned and Projects fold like folders

Click the Pinned or Projects heading in the sidebar to close or open it. A closed Pinned still shows how many pinned threads wait on you.

• #2353

Smaller changes

• Update works with update checks off. When a newer version is known, the Inbox still offers Update, and clicking it checks once before installing. Automatic install stays off while checks are off. #2380
• The thread's top bar always shows the thread's name, or its subject when it has none. #2379
• Beside an open thread and on a phone, list rows show the agents first, then the project on one line. #2383
• Pin thread moved from the thread header into its ⋯ menu. #2352
• Open actions show as a small box with a count, and open questions as a speech bubble with a count. #2348
• Projects show their folder name, adding a parent folder only when two listed projects share a name. #2349
• One project's list header shows the name without the folder path. The path is in its tooltip. #2355
• The thread header on a phone fits on one line, with nothing cut. #2357
• An agent's inline image from a hidden folder in a project, such as .ops, now shows, as it does when attached. #2343
• Picture choices in full screen keep the letter from their own label. #2350
• The What's new link and its images retry after a quit or a failed fetch, and the link stays until you have seen it. #2345, #2346
• Agents are told to keep one thread per work stream, unless you say otherwise. #2367
• An agent that lists threads from a folder with none is told which projects inside that folder have threads. #2368
• New thread no longer says when the agent will take the message. #2351
• The agent logos on Copy prompt tilt apart on hover. #2347

Plannotator

A new code review sidebar

Go to file is a field at the top of the sidebar, and Tree, Git status and Commits are tabs. Progress reads in words ("0 of 12 viewed · 1 staged"), and line counts line up in columns. The settings from Tree controls, and Copy all diffs, are now in the "…" menu.

• #2370

Call flow as cards

In code review, each entry point in Call flow's Paths view is a card. Dots mark new, removed and unchanged calls, and one line sums up the changes.

• #2364

Smaller changes

• Call flow (opt-in) now needs CallDiff 0.6.0 and Node 22.18 or newer. Trees are more accurate, and CUDA files are read as C++. If Call flow is on, the new version installs once, automatically. CallDiff is by @tanishqkancharla. #2365
• Updates recover from killed or overlapping installs. #2342
• Agents started by Ask AI, code review, Code Tour and Guided Review no longer post to your Inbox or wait on a plan review. #2366, #2369, #2371

Install / Update

macOS / Linux:

curl -fsSL https://plannotator.ai/install.sh | bash

Windows:

irm https://plannotator.ai/install.ps1 | iex

Claude Code Plugin: The plugin and the plannotator binary update separately, so run the install script above as well. In a terminal:

claude plugin marketplace update plannotator
claude plugin update plannotator@plannotator

Then restart Claude Code. Inside Claude Code, run /plugin marketplace update plannotator, then open /plugin → Installed → plannotator → Update now.

Pi:

pi update npm:@plannotator/pi-extension

OpenCode: Re-run the install script above. It also clears the OpenCode 2 plugin cache.
