The visibility hook looked the context panel up under the directory the
card reports about. A managed Chat reports about none, so the lookup ran
against an empty key and answered "closed" while the panel was open.
It now resolves the key the way the rail and the panel do, through
useEffectiveDirectory. The reporting directory is no longer an input to
this hook at all.
Prevent managed Chat drafts and sessions from inheriting an active project's repository context in the Work Status panel while retaining directory-independent status sections.
Keeps the work status panel aligned to the draft's target directory
Resolves project labels for sibling worktrees using shared session-directory logic
Adds coverage for resolving a worktree back to its registered project
Drops the macOS vibrancy toggle, IPC, and related settings copy
Updates dialogs, popovers, tooltips, and dropdowns to use shared glass styles
Adds sticky header fade behavior to model picker and sidebar lists
Adds a work-status panel beside the transcript. Context fill, model and
cost, todos, running subagents and the permission requests blocking
them, branch and working-tree state, MCP servers, pinned messages and
context sources were scattered across the header, the composer and the
context panel — a blocked subagent was reported nowhere at all. The
panel reads them from live channels rather than persisted history, and
becomes an overlay where the chat is too narrow to seat a column.
It is on by default, including for existing installs. Because it now
carries these readouts, the desktop header and composer drop the ones it
duplicates: todo and changed-files chips, usage and MCP tabs. VS Code
and mobile keep theirs — neither hosts the panel.
Fixes MCP authorization, which was broken from the panel, invalidated by
a directory switch through a redirect URI that encoded the working
directory, and left the desktop app in the background because browsers
will not follow a custom-protocol link without a user gesture. The
settings page no longer asks the user to understand the MCP spec before
adding a server: one field takes the command or the link, with the kind
inferred and a visible override, and client-registration fields appear
only when a server actually asks for its own credentials.
Also: skills load from the panel instead of only when the composer's
slash autocomplete opens; the header button names the current instance
rather than falling through to the word "Instance" for relay hosts.
Three new optional UI settings keys, all migrated. No change to stored
MCP server configuration.
