Appearance

Changelog ​

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

[Unreleased] ​

Bug Fixes ​

  • Progress board never silently hides a run's groups — if a stage group's parent is missing from a stream (e.g. a stale cross-trace id), the group and everything under it now render at the top of the transcript instead of vanishing. Paired with giving each run its own private stage scope so a stage from one run can no longer leak as the parent of another.

[0.38.3] - 2026-05-29 ​

Features ​

  • "Max" reasoning effort for Opus 4.8 — pick the new top Max tier (above Extra High) in the Models tab for the hardest, longest-horizon tasks; it maps to Anthropic's max effort, with Extra High remaining as the xhigh tier.
  • Live elapsed timer in the CLI chat — the status bar now shows the seconds elapsed next to running, so a long "thinking" turn that streams no text still reads as alive instead of looking frozen.

Bug Fixes ​

  • CLI chat redraws cleanly on resize — fixed leftover Ink live-region residue when the terminal is resized, and cut idle repaint churn.
  • LaTeX math survives in the transcript — inline $…$ / \(…\) spans are now preserved verbatim in the CLI's Markdown rendering instead of being mangled.
  • Markdown tables size to their content in the CLI chat, instead of stretching to the full terminal width.
  • Wolfram results always show a summary — runs that returned only structured data no longer render as an empty line.
  • Clean --output-format output — usage text is routed to stderr on errors so the JSON / NDJSON stream on stdout stays parseable for scripts and CI.
  • Drag-and-drop file selection works — files dragged from the workspace explorer now land in the workflow Input / Context / Media buckets.
  • Subagent progress boards show their rounds again — a subagent run's transcript was blank except for the instruction: the round groups (Init, r0/r1) and everything nested under them — scratchpad, statistics, latexdiff results, loaded files — failed to render. The run's root stage was inheriting the orchestrator's active stage as a cross-trace parent, orphaning the whole group tree in the subagent's own stream.

Improvements ​

  • Install the CLI straight from the Dashboard — the TeXRA CLI integration card now shows the npm install -g @texra-ai/cli command and an npm link, for running the same agents on your .tex projects without an editor.

[0.38.2] - 2026-05-27 ​

Features ​

  • Claude Opus 4.8 support — the latest Opus 4.8 models (opus48, opus48T) are available for demanding research and engineering tasks, replacing Opus 4.7 as the default Anthropic model. Opus 4.8 keeps the full 1M context window, adaptive thinking, and native server-side compaction.

  • Stay on the latest CLI — texra notices when a newer version is on npm and offers to update for you.

  • Shift+Enter for newlines in the CLI chat input — write multi-line prompts without leaving the input.

  • Easier-to-read diffs — added and removed lines show as full-width green and red bands in the terminal, matching the editor view.

  • See the full output anytime — press Ctrl+T in the CLI chat to view a tool's complete output when it's shown shortened.

  • Tables render in the terminal — Markdown tables now show as proper bordered tables in the CLI chat.

Bug Fixes ​

  • Workflow rounds no longer overwrite the workspace — past round 0, a workflow agent's emitted documents were being written through a symlink chain that ended at your live workspace file. The round directory's outputs are now real files owned by the round, and the workspace is unreachable from the backend.

  • Ctrl+C works on modern terminals again — cancel a run or exit texra chat on kitty, WezTerm, and Ghostty.

  • Approval prompts stay compact — they no longer stretch to fill the terminal and push the input off-screen.

  • No more empty "(no output)" lines in the chat transcript for tools that intentionally hide their output.

  • Readable text in high-contrast themes — user messages no longer blend into the background.

[0.38.1] - 2026-05-27 ​

Features ​

  • CLI tools, memory, and init — new texra tools (list, show, enable, disable, install, auth) and texra memory (list, show) command groups, plus a texra init wizard that writes .texra/config.json and gitignores it. The TUI gets a matching /tools slash command.

Bug Fixes ​

  • Bug fixes on settings tabs loading, "Compare with base" diffing against the live workspace file, and progress-log replay preserving initial entries.

Improvements ​

  • Cleaner history rows — restructured layout with metadata on top, inline Context/Config, and collapsible long prompts.
  • Merge shows up on the progress board — runs now appear as a normal task and save their result under the input filename.
  • CLI auth grouped under texra auth — login, logout, status, and usage now live under texra auth (top-level texra login / texra logout kept as shortcuts). Clearer --approval-policy help, safer defaults, and disambiguated --output vs --output-dir.

[0.38.0] - 2026-05-24 ​

Features ​

  • Export chat history as a shareable webpage — Settings → History gets a new HTML export button alongside Markdown and PDF. The export uses the same markdown / KaTeX / syntax-highlighting pipeline as the in-app webview, ships its own CSS + fonts, and opens straight in your browser so you can share or demo a project run with anyone.

[0.37.10] - 2026-05-23 ​

Features ​

  • Approve & Run a plan — plan approval cards have a new Approve & Run button (in Odyssey mode) that approves the plan and lets the agent work through every step on its own.
  • Orchestrators can hand off to Claude Code — built-in orchestrator agents can delegate a sub-task to Claude Code when that's the better tool for the job.

Improvements ​

  • Quota shown as a percentage — Settings → Models tells you how much of your monthly included-model quota you've used as a percentage rather than a dollar amount.
  • Less prominent Odyssey settings tab — the Odyssey tab now sits at the end of Settings so the everyday tabs come first.

Bug Fixes ​

  • Sensible defaults when something is missing — empty model lists and missing-agent sessions fall back to a working default.
  • More reliable tool calls — fixes tool-call failures on Anthropic, Gemini, and OpenAI (including GPT reasoning models) for tools with complex arguments.
  • Old workflow outputs load correctly — outputs saved by older versions open again.
  • Stopping a run isn't an error — interrupting an agent is treated as a cancellation.
  • Welcome walkthrough stays reachable — easy to find again from the editor's walkthrough list.

[0.37.9] - 2026-05-18 ​

Features ​

  • See your relay quota at a glance — Settings → Models shows how much of your monthly included-model quota you've used. When it runs out, TeXRA quietly switches to your own API keys so runs don't fail mid-task.

Improvements ​

  • Cleaner Settings view — tighter layouts across tabs, and the README now opens directly inside the extension.
  • Simpler launcher — the input and output file panels are easier to read at a glance.
  • See your workflow PDF — when a workflow run produces a PDF, you can open it directly from the run.

[0.37.8] - 2026-05-17 ​

Breaking Changes ​

  • Sessions and agent configurations from very old extension versions may not load — TeXRA no longer migrates them on the fly. If a saved session or agent config refuses to load after upgrading, recreate it.

Features ​

  • Odyssey mode — let an agent run a long task to completion on its own. A budget auto-pauses the run for your approval before going further, and a dedicated panel shows progress so you can step in any time.
  • Integrations settings tab — a new Settings → Integrations tab groups external agent integrations (Codex CLI, Claude Code CLI, External Inquiry) in one place, with reasoning-effort and adaptive-thinking controls for Claude Code CLI.
  • Ask-user-question tool — agents can now ask you a multiple-choice question mid-run instead of guessing.
  • Ink-based CLI TUI is the default — texra chat now uses the Ink TUI for interactive sessions, with a multi-pane layout, structured slash forms, persistent input history, and shared key hints. Deprecated renderer flags are still accepted for compatibility.
  • Non-blocking inquiries — when an agent sends you to ChatGPT/Gemini/etc. for outside help (now called Inquiry), the run no longer freezes waiting for your reply. The agent keeps working and is woken with a follow-up when you submit the answer — even after closing the tab or reloading. Inquiry threads appear in Background tasks with full transcripts and saved drafts per thread.
  • Open PDF from an agent — agents can open a finished PDF in your viewer.
  • LaTeXdiff focuses on changed pages — generated diff PDFs now show only the pages that actually changed.
  • Worktree chip on stream tabs — when an agent runs in a git worktree, its stream tab shows the branch name and a dirty-status indicator.

Improvements ​

  • General performance and reliability improvements.
  • Bash runs in Executions — shell commands run by an agent now show up as their own process with a dedicated stream tab instead of being folded into the calling agent's output.
  • Single-slot workflow output keeps the original filename — edit-style workflows write back to the input file's name instead of generating a duplicate under a generic name.
  • Pack and Clean show what each input is for — input slots in the launcher are labeled instead of unnamed.
  • Settings polish — more compact retry details and dropdowns, longer memory previews, reliability controls now live on the Models tab, and agent proposal instructions render as markdown.
  • Long shell commands wrap — tool-use titles no longer truncate long commands with an ellipsis.
  • Progress view first-run state — with no runs yet, the progress view shows direct actions to open the Launcher or Dashboard instead of an empty board.

Bug Fixes ​

  • Recover from retryable tool errors — when a tool call fails with a resumable error, you can now send a follow-up to nudge the agent past it instead of being stuck.
  • LaTeXdiff doesn't litter your workspace — intermediate sources stay in run storage instead of appearing next to your files.
  • CLI workflow output paths — texra run now prints the final workflow output path from run storage, so multi-round workflow output remains unambiguous.
  • Cleaner progress summaries — long bash output no longer floods the rolling summary at the top of a run.
  • Current DeepSeek V4 pricing — V4 Flash and Pro now use DeepSeek's current cache-hit and discounted rates.
  • Codicon font packaging — toolbar and settings icons render correctly in installed builds instead of fallback squares.

[0.37.7] - 2026-05-01 ​

Features ​

  • GitHub subscription for repos and issues — ask an agent to watch a repository or issue and it will receive activity (comments, state changes, CI results) as follow-ups while it works. Use owner/repo to monitor a whole repo, or owner/repo/issues/N for a specific issue — the same way PR subscriptions already work. Open Settings → Git to see what's being watched and stop any subscription.
  • Compile & Diff settings in the UI — LaTeX compile and diff options (auto-compile after each round, timeouts, latexdiff math-markup mode, formatter choice) can now be configured in Settings → LaTeX under Compile & Diff without touching settings.json. Settings are per-workspace and take effect immediately.
  • Working directory shown on delegation proposals — when a delegated agent will run in a specific directory, that path now appears on the proposal and permission cards before you approve, so you can confirm it's correct.
  • Send follow-ups freely during delegation — you can now queue multiple messages while a delegated agent is working; they are delivered in order once it's ready, instead of later messages being silently dropped.

Bug Fixes ​

  • Workflow outputs stay out of your workspace until accepted — generated files remain in run storage and your source files are not marked as modified until you explicitly accept the output.
  • Disk-full errors show an actionable message — a full disk now produces a clear "free up disk space" notification instead of a raw error, and no retry is attempted.
  • Various smaller fixes — stable toggle icons; reliable DeepSeek reasoning output; LaTeX fixer button always enabled when appropriate; AI responses no longer silently drop tool calls; no extra approval prompt between orchestrator and delegated subtask; follow-up input wraps long URLs, paths, and pasted log output instead of overflowing the panel; progress board recovers from corrupted or outdated saved state instead of crashing on startup.

[0.37.6] - 2026-04-27 ​

Features ​

  • GPT-5.5 Pro — OpenAI's GPT-5.5 Pro (gpt55pro) is now available in the model catalog as an opt-in choice for the hardest planning, long-horizon, and large-codebase tasks. It extends GPT-5.5 with a 1.05M-token context window and xhigh default reasoning effort. Premium pricing ($30/M input, $180/M output); available on premium plans — enable it from Settings → Models when GPT-5.5 isn't enough.
  • Computer Scientist (ML) multi-agent preset — a new built-in team preset tuned for empirical ML and CS work pairs a numerics agent for code-driven experiments with a search agent for literature and a review/criticize agent for methodology and baseline scrutiny.
  • Setup assistant can run terminal commands — the setup wizard can now hand off sudo prompts and interactive installers to your VS Code terminal instead of stalling on them.

Improvements ​

  • Premium-pricing advisory for GPT Pro models — gpt5pro, gpt52pro, and gpt55pro now show a warning in the model dropdown tooltip and the Settings → Models tab pointing users to the External Inquiry tool, which lets agents ask you to paste an answer from your own ChatGPT subscription instead of paying per-token API rates for these flagship Pro models.
  • Friendlier first-run experience — the status bar now shows a "Get Started" button that opens the setup assistant for both sign-in and API-key flows; if agents fail to load you get a dismissible notification with Retry and View Logs actions; and the welcome view lists numbered next steps instead of a generic message.
  • Model labels in selection lists — model labels (e.g. "Fastest", "Balanced") now appear alongside model names in the Settings → Models selection list so you can tell at a glance what each choice is optimised for.
  • Recent runs shown first — the progress board now lists your most recent runs at the top.
  • Scrollable command output — long command output in the progress board scrolls independently, and you can copy it in formatted or plain-text form.
  • More reliable follow-ups during delegation — messages sent while a delegated agent is still working are queued and delivered once it's ready, instead of being dropped.
  • Settings UI polish — model and agent dropdowns are wider; model labels appear in run tab headers; the GitHub tools section shows prerequisite hints; and the Multi-Agent tab layout is more compact and consistent.
  • API setup guidance in Models tab — a hint banner appears in Settings → Models when no API key is detected, giving users a direct path to configuration.
  • External Inquiry quick-links — the External Inquiry panel now includes direct links to documentation so users know when and how to use it.

Bug Fixes ​

  • Progress board fails to open after a crash — TeXRA now recovers cleanly if its saved state was corrupted by an unexpected shutdown, so the progress board always opens on startup.
  • Agent panels stuck open after delegation — panels from completed delegated work now close properly and can no longer get stuck mid-initialisation.
  • GitHub status stale in Settings — the GitHub connection status now refreshes each time you open Settings instead of showing outdated information.

[0.37.5] - 2026-04-24 ​

Breaking Changes ​

  • Workflow outputs stay in task storage — generated workflow files no longer appear directly beside your source files. Review them from the progress view, open the run's task storage folder, accept selected outputs, or pack the run into History/.

Features ​

  • GPT-5.5 — OpenAI's GPT-5.5 (gpt55) is now the flagship OpenAI model in the default lineup. It reaches strong results with fewer reasoning tokens, follows instructions more literally, is more precise on large tool surfaces, and produces more polished and concise answers by default. The default reasoning effort is medium — raise to high/xhigh only when it makes a measurable difference. Image inputs preserve more visual detail by default, improving figure and screenshot understanding. The Codex CLI integration uses gpt-5.5 for delegated Codex turns. GPT-5.4 (gpt54, gpt54-, gpt54--) remains available as a lower-cost option.
  • Terminal-quality command output — command-heavy runs are much easier to read, especially during builds, installs, and diagnostics.
  • Clearer pull-request awareness — GitHub-related work is easier to monitor and return to from the settings and progress views.
  • DeepSeek V4 models — DeepSeek V4 Flash and DeepSeek V4 Pro are now available in the model catalog.

Improvements ​

  • More guided first run — the welcome banner now surfaces the setup walkthrough so new users can step through environment, tools, and model access without hunting for it.
  • More dependable long-running work — extended agent sessions recover more smoothly from interruptions and ambiguous turns.
  • Sharper model defaults — new and upgrading users get a cleaner default model lineup while advanced options remain available.
  • Sharper literature workflows — agents are better at turning full-paper context into focused, usable research guidance.
  • More helpful guidance — setup, orchestration, Git, LaTeX, and Lean workflows now present clearer next steps.
  • More polished progress UI — streams, controls, and dropdowns are more compact, consistent, and easier to scan, and session hints dismiss with a subtler control.
  • Quieter diagnostics — routine messages stay out of the way, and user-facing errors focus on recovery.

Bug Fixes ​

  • More reliable workflow history — older workflow tabs recover their context more consistently.
  • Settings refresh fixes — API key, agent, model, and GitHub changes now update related UI state more reliably.
  • More robust PR workflows — temporary GitHub failures are handled more gracefully.
  • Restored output and diff displays — generated outputs and diff views display correctly again.
  • Cleaner command-stream labels — background command streams no longer show irrelevant labels.
  • More complete chat exports — exported conversations preserve more of the visible interaction.
  • DeepSeek cache reporting — DeepSeek V4 Flash and DeepSeek V4 Pro usage now distinguishes prompt-cache hits and misses more clearly.
  • Fuller Anthropic responses — prefilled content now reaches the final output instead of being dropped.
  • Crisper terminal-style logs — command output is easier to scan and no longer runs together.
  • Smarter delegation choices — the orchestrator reaches for a real agent when one fits the task.

[0.37.4] - 2026-04-21 ​

Breaking Changes ​

  • Workflow outputs now live in run history — workflow results are kept with the run that produced them, giving you a cleaner workspace and a clearer review path through the progress view.

Features ​

  • Guided first-run setup — TeXRA can now walk users through environment checks, missing tools, and model access with a more guided setup experience.
  • Higher-confidence workflow review — generated LaTeX opens naturally, is easier to inspect, and is checked more consistently before acceptance.
  • A more capable team experience — multi-agent workflows now feel more like coordinated teams, with clearer proposals and better handoffs.
  • Richer project awareness — TeXRA surfaces more useful context across the sidebar, Explorer, and progress view while agents work.
  • Pull-request collaboration support — agents can help keep PR work moving with less manual monitoring.
  • Claude Opus 4.7 support — the latest Opus 4.7 models are available for demanding research and engineering tasks.
  • Better isolation for advanced delegation — larger multi-agent runs can keep parallel work better separated when configured.

Improvements ​

  • Smoother Codex orchestration — Codex-backed work fits more naturally into long multi-agent sessions.
  • Safer workspace activation — TeXRA now waits for trusted workspaces before enabling agent features.
  • Cleaner first-run defaults — optional integrations that need extra setup are quieter for new users.
  • More durable long workflows — long-running model work is handled more robustly.
  • More readable progress surfaces — workflow instructions, selected tabs, history, and webview styling are easier to scan.

Bug Fixes ​

  • More reliable workflow builds — assets and related files are handled better during workflow review.
  • Better compact layouts — child streams collapse and reopen more predictably.
  • Persistent sidebar placement — VS Code restores the TeXRA sidebar location more reliably.
  • Cleaner command palette behavior — TeXRA commands no longer appear before the extension is ready.
  • More reliable GitHub updates — CI and review activity are tracked more consistently.
  • Clearer cancellation behavior — cancelled requests no longer become generic provider errors.
  • More reliable relay routing — provider-prefixed model IDs route correctly through relay.
  • Proposal and toolbar polish — stream toolbar state and proposal-card layout behave more consistently.
  • More reliable follow-ups — messages sent during delegated work are handled more gracefully.
  • Thinking-model display fixes — reasoning summaries are visible again for supported thinking models.
  • More robust Codex effort handling — higher effort settings no longer break Codex sessions.
  • Helper-agent loading fixes — built-in helper agents validate and load properly again.

[0.37.3] - 2026-04-15 ​

Features ​

  • Better multi-file paper support — workflow agents handle papers with shared files and bibliographies more reliably.
  • More flexible arXiv downloads — downloaded papers can be saved where they fit your project organization.
  • Remote-agent transparency — premium users can inspect the prompt sent to a remote agent.
  • Settings import — settings can now be loaded from a saved file.

Improvements ​

  • Long-paper handling is more reliable — large documents are processed more smoothly.
  • More careful orchestration — the orchestrator asks for clarification more often when a request is ambiguous.
  • Dismissed banners stay dismissed — onboarding and info banners respect your choices across sessions.

Bug Fixes ​

  • Fixed stale run state sometimes affecting new agent runs.

[0.37.2] - 2026-04-09 ​

Features ​

  • Orchestrator-first onboarding — new users are guided toward the orchestrator as the default starting point.
  • Codex effort setting — Codex runs can now use configurable reasoning effort.
  • More responsive follow-ups — follow-up messages interrupt waiting agents more reliably.
  • New Codex skill presets — additional ready-made Codex workflows are available for research and Lean work.

Improvements ​

[0.37.0] - 2026-04-04 ​

Features ​

  • External AI consultations — agents can help coordinate questions to external AI services from within a TeXRA session.
  • Redesigned Codex experience — Codex work is easier to follow, continue, and review inside TeXRA.
  • Expanded model routing — OpenRouter support is now more deeply integrated.

Improvements ​

  • Better organization for concurrent work — related background activity and delegated work are easier to follow in the progress view.
  • More responsive long-running output — background command output appears more naturally while work is still running.
  • Improved performance with many streams — the sidebar stays responsive with large active sessions.
  • Tool toggles — individual tools can now be enabled or disabled from the Tools settings tab.
  • More self-contained document outputs — generated documents are easier to understand without reading the full conversation.

Bug Fixes ​

  • Fixed Codex sessions occasionally hanging or duplicating work.
  • Stopping background work is more reliable.
  • Resolving one external consultation no longer changes the active response unexpectedly.

[0.36.10] - 2026-03-28 ​

Features ​

  • OpenRouter provider — new toggle in model settings to route all API calls through OpenRouter, letting you use a single API key for any supported model.

Improvements ​

  • Updated dependencies (KaTeX, Codex SDK, OpenRouter SDK).

[0.36.9] - 2026-03-26 ​

Features ​

  • Context compactization for OpenAI-compatible models — DeepSeek, Kimi, GLM, and MiniMax models now support automatic context compactization, preventing long tool-use sessions from hitting context window limits. The model summarizes older messages when token usage exceeds 75% of the context window.
  • Wait for specific background executions — the executions tool's wait action now accepts an optional ids parameter to monitor specific background tasks instead of waiting for any active execution.
  • MiniMax reasoning split — MiniMax thinking models now return structured reasoning content instead of embedded <think> tags, improving display and downstream processing.

Bug Fixes ​

  • Fixed Codex CLI not being detected for WSL users.
  • Fixed tool-use agent errors ending the conversation instead of allowing follow-up messages to retry.
  • Fixed workflow delegation losing extract-figure flags when the LLM omitted them, now inheriting from the parent agent.

Improvements ​

  • Extract figure badges in delegation UI — workflow proposals now show labeled badges for auto-extract figure and TikZ flags in the approval panel and log entries.
  • Better Codex tool display — Codex processes show a robot icon in the background tasks panel and display structured prompt details in the progress view.
  • Updated VS Code engine requirement to 1.105.0.
  • Updated dependencies (Supabase, Hono, MCP SDK, fast-xml-parser, KaTeX, OpenAI, Vite, and others).

[0.36.8] - 2026-03-23 ​

Features ​

  • MiniMax and GLM model providers — added MiniMax and Zhipu AI (GLM) as model providers, with region toggles for China and international endpoints.
  • Zotero collections browser — agents can now browse your Zotero collection folders to discover and organize references before adding papers.
  • Email file support — attach or read .eml email files directly; TeXRA extracts headers, body text, and image attachments into readable content.
  • Git author attribution — new option in the Git settings tab to mark commits made by TeXRA with a custom author name and email, so agent-authored changes are easy to identify.
  • LaTeX asset extraction in workflows — workflow agents can automatically extract referenced figures and TikZ diagrams when delegating tasks, with toggles in the delegation UI.
  • Paginated listings — history, memory, and tool execution lists now paginate instead of loading everything at once, keeping the interface responsive with large collections.

Bug Fixes ​

  • Fixed git settings checkbox staying disabled after reopening the settings panel.
  • Fixed rare crash during agent conversations.
  • Fixed agents occasionally launching in the wrong execution mode.
  • Fixed background agents continuing to run after closing their stream tabs.

Improvements ​

  • Helper model validation — TeXRA now checks credentials before starting a task, showing clear messages like "API key missing" instead of failing mid-run.
  • File tracking in multi-agent workflows — the orchestrator now reports which files each sub-task edited, so you can review changes at a glance.
  • arXiv paper organization — downloaded arXiv papers are saved into a References/ subdirectory instead of the workspace root.
  • Cleaner stream switching — plan and todo sections collapse when switching between stream tabs to reduce clutter.
  • Execution timing — terminal and sub-task results now show how long they took to run.
  • Better resource cleanup — closing the extension properly stops background processes to prevent memory leaks.
  • Updated dependencies.

[0.36.7] - 2026-03-17 ​

Features ​

  • LaTeX error fixer — new title bar button for .tex files that automatically compiles, diagnoses, and fixes errors, warnings, and overfull boxes.
  • OpenAI Codex tool — agents can use OpenAI's Codex CLI for sandboxed code execution with streaming output.
  • Pinnable memories — pin up to 10 memories per workspace so they are always included at session start.
  • Memory attachments for delegated tasks — attach memory files to sub-tasks so agents inherit project conventions and knowledge.
  • Short model names — toggle in the Models tab to use unpinned identifiers (e.g., gpt-5.4 instead of gpt-5.4-2026-03-05), useful for proxies that don't accept dated names.
  • DashScope China region (Bailian) — toggle in DashScope settings to switch between international and China endpoints.
  • Copy user messages — copy-to-clipboard button on hover for user messages in the Progress Board.
  • Output diffs in multi-agent workflows — changed files from completed sub-tasks are shown as diffs for quick review.
  • Project context in bash — $PROJECT_DIR and $PROJECT_NAME environment variables available in agent bash sessions.
  • Selection descriptions — agent and model selectors now show a brief description below the dropdowns.

Bug Fixes ​

  • Fixed latexdiff failing with files in subdirectories.
  • Fixed Codex CLI errors on first use and during long sessions.
  • Fixed history view showing empty file fields for tool-use sessions.
  • Fixed editor tabs stealing focus when agents open files.
  • Fixed retry logic misclassifying non-retryable Anthropic errors (e.g., invalid_request_error) as retryable.

Improvements ​

  • Markdown in history and memories — instructions and memory previews render as formatted markdown with syntax highlighting.
  • Overleaf Git token setup — prompts and error messages now link to Overleaf's token documentation.
  • Session descriptions for all agents — delegated agents now show auto-generated descriptions in their progress tabs.
  • Lower Anthropic costs — Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6 use native 1M context without a long-context premium. PDF limit raised to 600 pages.
  • Terminal respects your theme — terminal output uses VS Code theme colors, fixing readability in light themes.
  • Agents stay on track in long sessions — todo list and plan are preserved when the conversation is compacted.
  • Scrollable panels — long plans, bash commands, and permission panels scroll instead of pushing buttons off screen. Panels auto-expand when new information arrives.
  • Removed Wolfram provider key configuration (the WolframScript tool remains).
  • Improved writing quality and consistency across agents.
  • Updated dependencies (@google/genai 1.46.0, llm-zoo 1.1.4, openai 6.32.0).

[0.36.6] - 2026-03-12 ​

Features ​

  • Background tasks panel — a new collapsible panel in the Progress Board shows running background processes and subagents with real-time terminal output streaming, so you can monitor what's happening without switching tabs.
  • Office document attachments — attach Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other office documents directly in file attachments alongside images and PDFs.
  • WebSocket mode for OpenAI — enable persistent WebSocket connections (texra.model.useWebSocket) for lower-latency streaming with OpenAI models, especially in multi-turn tool-use workflows.
  • Session descriptions in stream tabs — each agent session now generates a short description from your instruction, shown in the stream tab for easier identification. Cancelled or errored sessions get descriptions too.
  • Multi-provider chat export — chat export now works correctly with Google GenAI, OpenAI, and Anthropic conversations.

Bug Fixes ​

  • Fixed pending approvals being dropped when the editor panel closed and fell back to the sidebar.

Improvements ​

  • Lower costs with Anthropic models — prompt caching is now handled more efficiently, reducing token usage in long conversations.
  • Agents stay aware during long conversations — after context is compacted in long sessions, agents now retain a summary of running subagents and background processes instead of losing track of them.
  • Updated dependencies.

[0.36.5] - 2026-03-08 ​

Features ​

  • GPT-5.4 — added OpenAI's GPT-5.4 (gpt54) and GPT-5.4 Pro (gpt54pro) to the default model list. GPT-5.4 is OpenAI's most capable model, with 1M token context, native computer-use, and improved professional-task performance. GPT-5.4 Pro offers maximum performance for complex workloads.
  • GPT-5.2 and GPT-5.2 Pro have been removed from the default list (still usable if manually added). GPT-5.3 Codex remains as the recommended coding model.
  • Chat export — export agent conversations to Markdown or LaTeX/PDF formats.
  • Approval indicators — stream tabs now show a pulsing orange border when an approval is pending, and auto-focus to the requesting tab.

Bug Fixes ​

  • Bug fixes in diff view focus, custom endpoint resolution, approval toggle state, and Anthropic web tool handling.

Improvements ​

  • Updated dependencies.

[0.36.4] - 2026-03-02 ​

Features ​

  • Reasoning level overrides — configure the reasoning effort (Low / Medium / High) per model in the Models settings tab, overriding each provider's default.
  • GPT-5.3 Codex — added OpenAI's GPT-5.3-Codex (gpt53codex) to the default model list.
