Added
- Added a "Clear completed" action to the Background section so you can remove all finished background activity at once.
- Added a source switcher to the Files tab so you can browse generated artifacts and added file/folder sources without leaving the tab, keeping your selection when switching between them.
- The "Start on system start" setting is now available to all desktop app users.
- The Goal pill in the composer now shows live status (Active, Paused, Done) and expands to show the objective, completion summary, pause reason, turn count, and AI Credits usage.

Changed
- Added a "Sources" header to the Files source picker to clarify session sources
- Improved the layout of elicitation choice prompts, aligning option labels and cleaning up redundant headings.
- Large sessions resume even faster by asking for a small bounded slice of recent history instead of reading the whole transcript from disk.
- Opening an existing priority now shows a read-only details view with an Edit button, instead of opening straight into the edit form.
- Removed the Goal status pill from the session utilities rail; Goal status remains available in the composer.
- Reorganized the right panel's add-tab menu, grouping Markdown editor and Insights under a new More submenu below Canvas and removing extra dividers.
- Screenshot annotations are now enabled by default after capturing a browser region.
- Session artifacts in the right rail now show file-type-specific icons (e.g. image thumbnails) matching the Files tab, instead of a generic file icon.
- Sessions created from projects and standalone work now use one shared session creation and navigation experience for everyone.
- Simplified the Accounts settings page into a single Connected accounts list with one Add account menu for GitHub.com, Enterprise Cloud, and Enterprise Server.
- The github open <directory> command now switches to your most recently active session for that project or worktree instead of always opening a new one. Use github open --new <directory> to open a fresh session.
- The macOS Dock icon's right-click menu now always shows sessions needing input, unread sessions, and recently used sessions—no need to enable it in Settings.
- The plan view no longer shows the read/source toggle when a plan has only to-do items and no plan text to edit.
- Wide tables in the conversation are now constrained to the column width by default; expand them anytime with the Expand tables command.

Fixed
- Agent activity rows now show readable labels instead of raw agent IDs.
- Detaching or archiving a coordinated session no longer sends stale automatic notifications to its former parent session.
- Fixed a bug where a session that couldn't be reloaded would get stuck on a "Resuming session…" spinner instead of showing the recovery banner with a Retry button.
- Fixed an issue on Windows where the app could reopen in a borderless fullscreen state with no way to return to the normal window.
- Fixed an issue where agents could not use a provider's own CLI (such as az repos pr create) to open pull requests for non-GitHub repositories when explicitly asked to.
- Fixed an issue where automatic retries after a failed conversation resume would hide the recovery message and Retry button.
- Fixed an issue where pressing the up arrow in an empty prompt box could recall an internal coordination message from another session instead of your last prompt.
- Fixed an issue where the workspace sidebar could take minutes to appear for users with a large CLI session history.
- Fixed an issue where typing in the Share feedback dialog could be redirected to the message composer if a workspace finished loading while the dialog was open.
- Fixed archived chats' scheduled automations (and those of their side chats) sometimes continuing to run instead of being removed.
- Fixed content in the workspace side panel being clipped by 1 pixel at the right edge during and after resizing.
- Fixed crashes in the browser preview and code editor caused by rare timing issues during window teardown and text restoration.
- Fixed Find in the diff view showing a stale match count and highlighting the wrong text after switching between Committed and All changes.
- Fixed intermittent failures setting up a workspace on Windows when antivirus, indexing, or another process briefly locked a file.
- Fixed issue links on GitHub Enterprise Server accounts not opening in the session's right panel.
- Fixed keyboard focus being lost when setting an account as default in Settings → Accounts.
- Fixed reasoning and tool activity unexpectedly splitting apart while streaming in Balanced response verbosity mode.
- Fixed setup scripts for branch workspaces running against the wrong folder before the branch's checkout was finalized.
- Fixed the merge button and merge blockers incorrectly reporting required checks as failed when only optional checks had failed.
- Fixed the onboarding health check screen losing its results, export/copy buttons, and keyboard focus when re-checking failed
- Fixed the sidebar unread indicator replaying its animation when expanding or collapsing sections instead of only when a session becomes unread.
- Pasted session references in the message composer now show a distinct chat icon, use the correct session name, and never display raw internal notification text as their label.
- Quick Open no longer shows a destination picker when there's only one place to open the repository.
- Retrying a failed canvas extension check no longer shifts the layout of the Installed extensions list.
- Session mentions in the composer and chat now show consistent icons and live status indicators, matching their appearance in the sidebar.
- The Dim color variant in Settings → Themes is now only offered for GitHub Dark, so it can no longer be applied to GitHub Light or an external palette where it doesn't render correctly.
- The sidebar now scrolls the active workspace or chat session into view when you navigate to it.
- Tool calls no longer jump around or collapse into a group while a response is still streaming; they stay in place until the response finishes.
