Download CodeShellManager 0.7.0

Reliability release. Your sessions survive a crash, your terminals stop fighting each other for focus, and closing the app actually waits for your agents to shut down cleanly. Plus you can now reconfigure a session instead of recreating it.
Highlights
Edit any session's configuration — working folder, command, SSH target, appearance. Reachable from the ⚙ on the terminal toolbar, the sidebar right-click menu, and on a sleeping session (which reconfigures it without waking it). The session keeps its id, group, run commands and sidebar position. You're asked before anything restarts, and a Claude session resumes its conversation rather than starting fresh. Thanks @mortenaslo.
Click or type in a pane to make it active. Previously only the sidebar could change the active session, so clicking straight into a terminal left the highlight — and the output priority — on the wrong pane.
state.json is now written atomically, with a backup and recovery. It's rewritten on ~33 different actions, so an interrupted write used to be a realistic way to lose your whole workspace: the truncated file loaded as empty, silently, and the next save overwrote it. Now it swaps a temp file into place, keeps a .bak, falls back to it on a bad read, and logs rather than starting empty in silence.
Shutdown waits properly. Closing with many live agents used to kill most of them without waiting, because a handful of already-dead panes consumed the whole time budget. Now sessions that already exited are recognised immediately, the budget is sized from real measurements, and the overlay stays up while it works.
Faster, quieter startup — the fixed per-session launch delay is gone from several paths, and a thread-pool thread is no longer parked for the lifetime of every terminal.
Fixes
- One SQLite connection was shared by the search index and every session's output writer with no synchronisation, corrupting it during restore. That's serialised now — and the mysterious shutdown NullReferenceException we'd been swallowing stopped appearing with it.
- Post-run URLs are restricted to http/https. They fire automatically on success with no confirmation, and ShellExecute would otherwise launch a local executable or protocol handler.
- --resume honours CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR.
- Sessions launched through a wrapper prefer PowerShell 7, so your PS7 profile functions resolve.
- A malformed colour scheme in an imported settings file no longer stops a session from starting.
- Binaries report the correct File version — this was fixed in v0.6.0 and is verified again here.
Known issues
- On restore, the input line can be drawn one character into the placeholder text (#116). Cosmetic, and resizing the window or changing layout corrects every pane.
- Restoring many sessions is still slow — roughly 5s each on a loaded machine, dominated by WebView2 creation and agent startup rather than anything the app is waiting on (#82).
