Thank you so much for using Orca and for your continued support! ❤️
The short version
Agents & chat: Native chat keeps its live tool state intact, shows Codex goals above the composer, and treats active child work as working. Muse Code is now a first-class supervised-worker harness with local usage reporting.
Workspaces, editor & browser: Large local workspaces can find files by name, preview tabs can be turned off, stale workspace listings cannot retire newly created workspaces, and browser shortcuts stay with the split or floating panel that received them.
Terminal, remote & reliability: Background-created terminals answer startup queries, explicit closes get enough time for a daemon verdict, and macOS adoption and folder-denial events carry code-identity telemetry. Asia relay capacity grows safely with cell-specific gates, lock-convoy alerts, and safer rehoming.
Mobile: The OTA page gains device Back support, safer draft handling, clearer re-pair and update recovery, and capability-negotiated, gzipped bundle ranges.
