Open Design 0.24.0 — Every Run, Kept Intact

on GitHub

🌟 Codename: Every Run, Kept Intact

🧭 26 PRs · 13 contributors · 1 day — A run should survive the real
world, not just the happy path. Reloads, follow-up questions, preview changes
and first launches used to be the moments work could lose its place; now the
project keeps hold of it. 🚀

🔥 Highlights

• 🧵 Conversations keep their thread when the work keeps moving. Planning
  answers, live task continuations, blocked-task decisions and recovered output
  stay with the task that produced them—even after a reload or a follow-up.
  Forked chats start clean instead of inheriting another conversation’s work.
  A planning-only reply now ends as the answer you received, not as a red failed
  run. (#8322, #8195, #8008, #8007, #8172, #8029, #8158) Thanks @itscheems,
  @lefarcen.
• 🖼️ Your current preview stays the preview you chose. Real pages no longer
  turn into blank snapshots, and a stale file read cannot steal the chat preview
  while you are inspecting something else. (#7125, #8067) Thanks @huynextlevel.
• 🃏 Rich answers arrive as answers, not markup. Open Design decodes cards
  in the thinking stream and safely drops a malformed card instead of spilling
  its raw data into the conversation. (#8258, #8264) Thanks @lefarcen.
• 🪟 A fresh Windows install gets to the app, first time. The packaged app
  no longer mistakes its initial payload state for a failed handoff, so the web
  interface can connect to its local engine on first launch. (#7520) Thanks
  @lorenzozanee.
• 🔑 Novita AI is ready in the BYOK picker. Choose Novita AI, bring your
  key, and pick from its current DeepSeek, MiniMax, Qwen, GLM, Kimi and GPT-OSS
  models without hand-building the provider setup. (#6327) Thanks @jax-novita.

🔑 BYOK, models and media

• Novita AI joins the BYOK provider presets with its model catalog and API-key
  management link. (#6327) Thanks @jax-novita.

🔁 Changed

🧠 Agents, runtimes and sandbox

• Workspace subscriptions reset cleanly when you change profiles, keeping the
  projects and account state in front of you in sync with the workspace you
  actually selected. (#8020) Thanks @AmyShang-alt.
• When both are installed, local Agent detection prefers the direct Copilot CLI
  over VS Code’s bootstrap copy. (#7974) Thanks @tony-box.
• od automation create and od automation update can again accept
  comma-separated skill context without failing before the command runs.
  (#7612) Thanks @johnkattenhorn.
• od media generate --help now shows help without trying to start a generation.
  (#8066)

🎨 Studio, editing and canvas

• Manifest-backed Markdown artifacts now count as real run output, and late
  cover rendering reaches a clear final state instead of leaving a misleading
  result behind. (#7586, #8061) Thanks @arccat-114.

🐛 Fixed

🧠 Agents, runtimes and conversations

• Recovered conversations keep the right task verdicts, outputs and planning
  intent across reloads and continuations. (#8195, #8008, #8007, #8172)
• Forking a conversation no longer carries its source run artifacts into the
  new chat. (#8029) Thanks @lefarcen.
• A continued conversation collapses an unanswered question without pretending
  it was answered. (#8158)
• A planning-stage refusal that still gave you a useful reply keeps the normal
  Done state instead of showing a failed-run card; genuine production failures
  still surface as failures. (#8322) Thanks @itscheems.

🎨 Studio, previews and export

• Preview snapshots retain real page content, and delayed file reads cannot
  replace the preview you are actively using. (#7125, #8067) Thanks
  @huynextlevel.
• Valid thinking-stream cards render as cards; invalid ones remain safely out
  of the conversation. (#8258, #8264) Thanks @lefarcen.

🌍 Localization

• French copy is complete across the Design System flow, Library and Memory.
  (#7906, #7756) Thanks @davezfr.

🖥️ Desktop

• Fresh Windows installations complete the local desktop handoff and can load
  the app normally. (#7520) Thanks @lorenzozanee.

🙏 Thanks to everyone who shipped 0.24.0
