version: 1.17.1
date: 2026-07-29
title: Live output in Bash tool cards
---

## App

### New
- Behavior: an optional setting trims about 40% off OpenCode's built-in system prompt for the build and plan agents. It takes effect after OpenCode restarts, and it is not meant for custom build or plan definitions.

### Improvements
- **Chat tools:** a Bash card shows output while the command is still running, in a pane of fixed height that follows new lines until you scroll away. The timer keeps counting to the real end instead of stopping at 300 seconds.
- Chat: a slash-command starter picks up whatever you already typed in the draft and passes it as the command's arguments.
- Usage: an OpenAI business account shows the spend limit you configured for Codex (thanks to @jrandiny).
- Desktop: bundled OpenCode updates together with OpenChamber, with no separate update to accept (thanks to @yulia-ivashko).
- Desktop/Linux: the AppImage tray menu has Show, Hide, and Close, and "Open in" shows the icons of the apps it found (thanks to @makeittech).

### Fixes
- OpenCode: a chat recovers when OpenCode goes quiet mid-response, and managed OpenCode stops restarting in a loop during a brief connection problem.
- Session goals: a goal started from a slash command, a scheduled task included, runs the command's full instructions.
- Chat: a history you loaded to the end stops offering "Load older" after a refresh.
- Chat: messages you removed by reverting stay gone after you send the next message.
- Mobile: image previews load over the private relay.
- Settings: subpanels keep a visible vertical scrollbar and lose the horizontal one (thanks to @sergiofspedro).

## VS Code

### New
- **OpenCode updates:** the extension can update a managed OpenCode installation and restart it for you. A server you manage yourself is left alone (thanks to @yulia-ivashko).
