Shkarko codeg 0.42.1

This release lets you handle related issues in one task, keeps background work running when you leave a conversation, improves Office previews, and updates multiple agents.
New
- Related issues can be selected across pages and handled in one task, with a single PR or merge request and a choice of which issues it closes when merged.
Improved
- Claude Code is updated to 2.1.318 with adapter 0.101.0, and new sessions default to Auto unless you have selected another permission mode.
- Claude Code’s idle context compaction appears directly in the conversation, including its summary, without needing to reopen the session.
- Updated Hermes Agent to 0.23.0, CodeBuddy to 2.181.0, Grok to 1.0.77, Kimi Code to 2.5.2, Cursor to 2026.11.05-86047df, Qoder to 1.1.84, the ZCode bridge to 0.82.1 and Command Code to 1.88.4.
Fixed
- Closing or switching conversation panes, or refreshing the web page, no longer unexpectedly stops background commands, Remote Control or running sub-agents.
- Office auto-preview reliably opens documents created or modified in the current turn, fixing unrelated templates opening, closed previews reappearing and occasional missed previews on Linux and Windows.
- Updating Grok through codeg now runs the updated version, and uninstalling it correctly removes its installed status.
- Kimi Code retains MCP execution environment and deferred tool-loading settings when codeg saves or syncs its configuration.
- Kimi Code tool cards restore their correct titles when calls finish, instead of continuing to show reconnection or sign-in messages.
- Qoder 1.1.84 keeps MCP tool cards and history displaying correctly, while codeg’s built-in tools such as questions continue without unnecessary permission requests.
- Cursor conversation history includes the new access-management and code-execution tool steps.
- The built-in browser no longer covers fullscreen tables or Mermaid diagrams opened from chat.
- Agent error messages retain the file paths needed to locate and fix configuration problems.
Note
- Claude Code’s Auto mode may refuse commands when an API gateway cannot support its permission checks, in which case you can switch to Manual.
- In Hermes 0.23.0, MCP servers configured in Hermes itself cannot connect when used alongside MCP servers injected by codeg.
- On Linux, Windows and some macOS setups, disconnecting the session that started Hermes’ shared background service may interrupt tasks running in other Hermes conversations.
