version: 1.8.4
date: 2026-03-04
title: Link GitHub issues and PRs in chat
---

## App

### New
- Chat: added clickable file-path links in assistant messages (including line targeting) (thanks to @yulia-ivashko).
- Chat: added a new `Changes` tool-output mode that expands edits/patches by default while keeping activity readable (thanks to @iamhenry).
- Chat/GitHub: added Attach menu actions to link GitHub issues and PRs directly in any session.
- Shortcuts/Models: added favorite-model cycling shortcuts (thanks to @iamhenry).
- Sessions: added active-project session search in the sidebar, with clearer match behavior and easier clearing during filtering (thanks to @KJdotIO).
- Mobile/Projects: added long-press project editing with a bottom-sheet panel and drag-to-reorder support (thanks to @Jovines).
- Web/PWA/Android: added improved install UX with pre-install naming and manifest shortcut updates (thanks to @shekohex).

### Improvements
- Chat: in-progress tools now appear immediately and stay live in collapsed activity view (thanks to @nelsonPires5).
- Chat: improved long user-message behavior in sticky mode with bounded height, internal scrolling, and cleaner action hit targets.
- Chat/Files: improved `@` file discovery and mention behavior with project-scoped search and more consistent matching.
- Worktrees/GitHub: streamlined worktree creation with a unified flow for branches, issues, and PR-linked sessions, including cleaner validation and faster branch loading.
- Files/Desktop: improved `Open In` actions from file views/editors, including app selection behavior and tighter integration for opening focused files (thanks to @yulia-ivashko).
- UI: interactive controls now consistently show pointer cursors.
- Security/Reliability: hardened terminal auth, tightened skill-file path protections, and reduced sensitive request logging exposure for safer day-to-day usage (thanks to @yulia-ivashko).

### Fixes
- Chat/Files: restored user image previews/fullscreen navigation and improved text-selection action placement on narrow layouts.
- Worktrees/Git: fixed branch/PR source resolution (including slash-named branches and fork PR heads).
- Git: fixed a PR panel refresh loop that could trigger repeated updates and unstable behavior in the PR section (thanks to @yulia-ivashko).

## VS Code

### New
- Chat: added Save as image support for assistant messages.
- Chat: added a new `Changes` tool-output mode that opens edit/write/patch results by default while keeping activity easier to scan.
- Chat/GitHub: added Attach menu support for linking pull requests into your draft with picker-based selection and attached PR context.
- Shortcuts/Models: added favorite-model cycling shortcuts (thanks to @iamhenry).

### Improvements
- Chat Activity: active tools now appear immediately and continue updating in collapsed view (thanks to @nelsonPires5).
- Chat: file references in assistant responses are now clickable (including line targets).
- Chat/Files: improved `@` file mentions with active-project scoping and more consistent search behavior.
- Chat: simplified attachment actions with a direct Attach files flow.
- Chat: improved sticky user-message behavior with bounded height and internal scrolling.
- UI: interactive controls now consistently use pointer cursors.
