Changelog

• Changed

  Handler's backlog is much easier to read. Items are numbered rather than labelled with a status word most of them share, so a dependency can point at the one it's waiting on, and the sheet no longer says your sentence twice in two voices.

• Changed

  The bar above the prompt says what Handler is actually doing, and the lens row is legible.

• Fixed

  Switching sessions no longer resizes the agent terminal in front of you. It used to open at the previous session's width and correct itself a frame later. Pane dividers belong to their session too, so dragging one doesn't move it everywhere else.

• New

  The site has a blog, for the things that need more room than a release note.

• Changed

  Antgrid's source is MPL-2.0. The relay and the web service stay Elastic 2.0; everything else, including the wire format and the Dart relay client, is MPL now.

• Fixed

  Remote sessions were timing out with nothing on the wire to explain it. A frame the checkout gate refused was dropped in silence, so the app waited for an answer that was never coming. Every refusal is answered now.

• Fixed

  A burst of output that outran the terminal used to cost you the display for the rest of the run. It costs you the burst instead, and the app tells you what it dropped.

• Fixed

  Handler was judging on far less than it thought. It asks for twenty messages of context and was usually getting one. It reads a wide enough window now, and the activity pane shows the history from before you opened it.

• New

  You can write your own lens when you arm Handler instead of picking one of ours.

• Security

  The remote-access switch is inbound only, which is what its name and its own wording have always promised. It governs what can be done to this machine, so with it off your agents here can still open an exchange with another machine and get a reply. Nothing unsolicited gets in.

• Fixed

  Switching sessions while a side pane is moving no longer hard-wraps the agent's output.

• Changed

  Support for each coding agent moved into a package of its own. Nothing changes about the agents we ship; it's the groundwork for adding one without touching the bridge.

The terminal, over a remote link

• Changed

  The terminal works differently at a distance. Rather than streaming every byte to your phone, the bridge keeps the real screen and sends pictures of it, up to twenty a second. Scrollback stays on the machine and pages in as you scroll.

• Changed

  It's a coordinated change with no fallback, so an app or a bridge too old to speak it asks to be updated rather than half working.

• New

  There's live chat on the site, in your account and in the app. Nothing is requested from the chat provider until you click the launcher, so it costs nothing on a page you never chat from.

• Fixed

  We were pushing terminal output at apps with nothing listening for it, indefinitely. One link measured 17,000 dropped frames in 24 minutes. It stops when the listener goes.

• Changed

  Analytics moved to an Umami instance we host ourselves. It's cookieless and first-party, and the privacy notice says so.

• New

  Modelwatch. The bridge spawns model calls on your own provider account to name sessions and to run Handler's judge, and until now they were invisible: they spent your money and left no record of what ran or on which model. Now there's a record of every one.

• Security

  Signing out signs you out. Account state was surviving in a cache for the life of the process, and a machine that had left the account was still listed.

• Changed

  Windows opens relay frames with the operating system's own AES-GCM. The pure Dart cipher it fell back to ran at around 12 MB/s on the UI thread, which a busy terminal or a tunnelled preview paid for directly.

• Fixed

  An isolated Codex session could refuse to open, printing “Resuming session…” and exiting a couple of seconds later. It was trying to resume a helper thread that was never a session.

• Fixed

  On Windows a session action could fail outright because a virus scanner or the search indexer had one of our files open for a moment. We wait it out.

• New

  And this page.

• Fixed

  Opening a remote session could land you on a frozen agent terminal with nothing saying why. The pane couldn't tell “there are no terminals” from “the terminals haven't attached yet”, and some of the waits had nothing behind them that could ever end.

• Fixed

  We were pushing megabytes of file tree at connected apps. A 224 second capture against one remote session measured 4.6 MB, more than half of it tree snapshots. That's bounded now, and the app can report a stall of its own rather than leaving it visible only from the other end.

• Fixed

  Fixed a Windows bug that could leave Ctrl stuck down after a paste.

• Fixed

  Image previews open where they were opened from, and a narrow pane stops overflowing.

• Fixed

  An opened folder resolves to the project that owns it, so one repository can't appear twice under two identities.

• Changed

  File tree state is pulled by the app when it wants it instead of being pushed at it on every reconnect.

• Fixed

  Remote sessions were timing out on large repositories. We sent the whole file tree the moment you connected, which swamped the link before anything else could get through. The tree is paced now and the preview tunnel streams.

• Fixed

  Resuming a session keeps what it had, and Codex approval alerts don't fire before the agent has actually asked for anything.

• Fixed

  Fixed a file tree bug where the selection could point at the wrong row after a refresh.

• Changed

  Tidied up the annotation panel in the browser preview.

• New

  Downloads have a page of their own now. It also stopped handing a Windows installer to anyone reading on a phone.

• Changed

  We stopped polling git for sessions nobody is watching.

• New

  Tapping a push notification opens the session it's about.

• Fixed

  Live reload works in the browser preview again. We weren't forwarding the HMR subprotocol, so the socket never came up.

Handler grows up

• Changed

  Handler belongs to the session now rather than the machine, and when it refuses to arm it tells you why.

• Changed

  It asks the agent before answering on your behalf, and it confirms any undo that would leave your machine.

• Changed

  Notify-only is retired. Handler acts, and the wrap-up it writes survives a restart.

• New

  Markdown files open in a real viewer, with a heading outline and links that go where they say.

• New

  The git panel gained commit history, pull and push.

Maintenance build. Nothing here changes what you'd notice using it.

Maintenance build. Nothing here changes what you'd notice using it.

• Fixed

  The relay's heartbeat and recovery are harder to knock over.

• Changed

  Handler's backlog dialog is easier to work with.

• New

  Approval policy is set per session, so you can let one session skip prompts without touching the others.

• Changed

  Workspace context is scoped to the session it belongs to.

• New

  Point at anything in the browser preview and draw on it to leave the agent feedback.

• Fixed

  Isolated sessions were becoming permanently undeletable. A coding agent's helpers outlive the terminal that started them and keep hold of the checkout, so git couldn't remove it. A terminal takes its orphans with it now.

• Fixed

  Coding agents get to shut down properly. Every teardown path killed an agent's terminal outright, which is why Claude Code kept announcing that its renderer hadn't finished starting last time.

• Fixed

  Coming back to a session shows you the screen as it stands rather than the tail of a stream you missed the start of. Files and preview recover the same way.

• Fixed

  A session keeps the title we generated for it across a restart.

• Fixed

  Push notifications work on Android. They never had: the Firebase config the build needs was ignored by git and had never shipped.

• New

  Fork a session, into a workspace cut from where it got to or into the one it's already using, and carry the conversation over.

• New

  Two-finger scroll works in the terminal on a laptop trackpad.

• Fixed

  Handler reports what it couldn't send instead of calling the work done. Traced from a real session where it sat armed all morning, sent the agent nothing, and wrote a wrap-up anyway.

• Fixed

  Pressing left twice at a Claude prompt hands the conversation to Claude's own background supervisor and takes the terminal with it. We don't follow it there.

• Fixed

  Updating on Windows brings the app back afterwards, shuts the bridge down rather than having it killed mid-install, and reports what the Store actually did instead of calling every outcome a success.

• Changed

  Sessions are named for what they're about rather than for the first thing you typed.

• Fixed

  Tapping a remote session opens that session, not whichever one the cache happened to list first.

• Fixed

  Links in the terminal open on a plain click. A full-screen agent takes the mouse before it prints anything, which is why they didn't.

• Security

  You can see where a link goes before you follow it, and we ask first when the address is built to be misread.

• Fixed

  The projects drawer indents. Every level used to start at the same place, so a three-level tree rendered flat.
