See every agent's live status, right in the sidebar

See every agent's live status, right in the sidebar

Features

  • Inline agent statuses in the sidebar — every worktree card now lists its running agents with a colored status dot (yellow while working, green when done) and a 'just now' timestamp. Rows stay bold until you view them, the hovercard triggers across the whole card, and the dashboard is on by default — the experimental toggle is gone
  • GitHub Projects in Tasks — browse a full GitHub project board inside the Tasks page, with drag-to-resize columns, polished chip colors, and create-from-PR worktrees that link back to the originating PR
  • Expo mobile companion app (beta) — pair your phone to your desktop session over a paste flow with Keychain-backed device tokens, then drive your terminal with text selection, copy, paste, an account switcher, and live rate-limit usage
  • Source control panel grows up — commit, push, pull, and sync from the sidebar; full-row hover, tooltips, staged discard-all, and the commit input hides when there's nothing to commit
  • Editor 'Changes' view mode — toggle any tab into an in-place HEAD-vs-working-tree diff without opening a separate pane
  • Kagi search support — encrypted private session links from the address bar, alongside Google and DuckDuckGo
  • Custom IDE font setting — pick any installed font for the editor and UI, separate from the terminal font
  • Custom desktop notification sounds — pick per-event sounds for agent-task-complete and other notifications
  • Settings: Manage Sessions panel — see every active daemon-backed session and reap them individually, with a pid-recycling guard so a recycled OS pid can't take over a stale session
  • CLI: tab profile lifecycle commands — `orca tab profile list/create/delete` plus automation primitives, scoped strictly so they're scriptable
  • `orca tab switch --focus` now surfaces the browser pane in addition to terminals and editors
  • Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+] / [ cycles within the current tab type by default, so cycling terminals doesn't jump you into a browser tab
  • Experimental shared-path symlinks on worktree creation — opt in to share `node_modules` or other heavy directories across worktrees of the same repo
  • Browser viewport-size emulation via CDP — preview responsive layouts without resizing the window
  • Sidebar 'Add project' dialog gains a 'Create new project' option for greenfield repos
  • Path-aware filter in the SSH remote file browser
  • Hide the default-branch workspace from the sidebar to declutter long lists
  • First-launch telemetry consent flow with a Privacy pane in Settings — anonymous by default, opt in to attach a PR tag and contact info to feedback
  • Autohand Code agent support, with detection and a logo in the agent catalog
  • OpenCode `question.asked` now flips the agent into a waiting state so the sidebar dot reflects it
  • Pi panes wired into the unified agent-hooks pipeline — Pi gets the same status, completion, and notification treatment as Claude and Codex
  • Cursor CLI agent support is no longer experimental
  • Anonymous opt-in feedback — submit feedback without revealing your identity, with the PR tag and contact info as opt-in extras

Improvements

  • Settings search focuses on Cmd/Ctrl+F and skips empty section headers
  • Status bar consolidates memory and sessions into a single Resource Usage segment
  • New-workspace flow gets a unified source picker, an inline create-branch row with scoped suggestions, and tab/focus polish; non-submitted agent URLs persist as drafts
  • Linear: pasting a Linear URL in new-workspace creates the entry as a draft instead of submitting
  • Theme swaps are visually instant — CSS transitions are suppressed only during the root light/dark class flip
  • Tasks page header aligns with the sidebar nav row, and resume state persists across sessions
  • Right sidebar now top-aligns in non-workspace views
  • Titlebar shrunk to 36px with the macOS traffic lights re-aligned
  • Sidebar agent-identity icon restored on inline worktree rows
  • Cmd+J empty-query results rank by focus recency
  • Sidebar scroll position survives worktree deletion
  • Worktrees grouping defaults to projects
  • First-launch telemetry banner copy refreshed
  • GitHub project chip colors are easier to read at a glance
  • Mobile: scrollback hydration, keyboard layout polish, and worktree-creation flow improvements
  • Mobile: detailed pairing log + capped connecting timeout for faster diagnosis
  • Mobile: indefinite phone-fit hold with configurable auto-restore
  • Sidebar reserves the worktree scrollbar gutter so rows don't reflow when it appears

Fixes

  • Terminal: PTY output writes live and de-overlaps reattach restores, so cold restores don't double-paint
  • Terminal: scrollback preserved when buffer captures run during a transient empty-render window
  • Terminal: SIGKILL race fixed for the worktree-sleep flow (#217); scrollback now survives sleep
  • Terminal: zombie worktree PTYs are cleaned up (#218)
  • Terminal: ptmx fd released on natural exit, and SIGHUP-to-recycled-pid is defused
  • Codex 0.129: hook trust hashes are registered so Codex stops gating Orca's managed hooks
  • Claude: redundant credential rewrites on every Claude spawn are skipped (#1507)
  • Agent hooks: silenced exit-127 spam from stale managed hook entries
  • Sidebar: dashboard inline-agent rows un-stick from bold once retention kicks in
  • Sidebar: first worktree discovery now stamps `lastActivityAt`, so brand-new worktrees sort correctly
  • Source control: UTF-8 paths are preserved in status and branch diffs
  • GitHub project view: NUL bytes escaped so diffs render as text
  • SSH: stale repo worktree refreshes are handled gracefully
  • SSH: auto-connect waits for any passphrase prompt before continuing
  • SSH: focus recency on remote worktrees is preserved when activating an agent
  • Worktree setup: the setup-runner is generated from the target worktree's `orca.yaml`, not the parent's
  • Hooks: benign `orca.yaml` divergences no longer silently skip worktree setup
  • Single-instance lock added to the runtime + owned-metadata clear (#1312)
  • Dev: `pn dev` skips the single-instance lock and auto-exposes a CDP port
  • Updater: prerelease feed resolution gets diagnostic logging for triaging RC issues
  • Release pipeline: orphan tag lookups are recovered, desktop-only tags are filtered, and the pipeline is consolidated
  • Release: Zod pinned to ~4.3.6 (revert of the 4.4.x bump in #1526)
  • RPC: optional Zod 4.4 schema fields can be omitted again
  • New-workspace: Cmd/Ctrl+Enter submit keeps working after switching the source
  • New-workspace: workspace name casing is preserved
  • Cmd+J: empty-query worktree ranking is fixed for focus-recency mode
  • macOS: repeated privacy prompts on first use are avoided
  • Mobile: WS heartbeat reaps half-open mobile sockets
  • Mobile: notification-permission and camera-permission copy and handling cleaned up
  • Mobile: dead-row gap above the keyboard accessory bar removed
  • Mobile: server-authoritative phone-fit state machine fixes the connection-stability races
  • Mobile: a single RpcClient per host is shared across the app
  • Browser: webview defaults to a white background so transparent pages don't flash dark
  • GitHub: tokens shadowed by env are diagnosed in auth errors
  • Pi: linked-issue URL is prefilled via env var to bypass a paste-readiness race
  • Worktree list: `git worktree list --porcelain` no longer passes the unsupported `-z` flag
  • Telemetry: settings_changed whitelist refreshed; agent_kind has a runtime guard
  • Tasks: the Tasks-page header aligns with the sidebar nav row again
  • PR-bug-scan rollups landed for #1029, #1385, #1396, #1397, #1409, #1410, #1420, #1422, #1424, #1442, and #1444
