title: Faster worktrees and smoother live sync
---

## App

### New
- Worktrees/Multi-Run: added instant draft-first worktree creation and redesigned the multi-run launcher with a cleaner, faster flow for parallel runs.
- CLI/Server: added `--foreground` for process-manager deployments, made managed server hostname configurable, and added an explicit `--host` option with safer localhost defaults (thanks to @colinmollenhour, @rapidrabbit76, @yulia-ivashko).

### Improvements
- Chat/Performance: rebuilt live session sync and streaming updates to cut render churn, reduce CPU spikes, and keep long-running chats smooth and more stable across runtimes.
- VSCode/UI: polished the extension chat and sidebar with improved spacing, tooltips, a resizable sessions pane, and file-to-chat mention flows from Explorer.
- Models/Providers: improved custom provider model metadata loading and caching (thanks to @ZeppLu).
- Docker/Deployments: improved container defaults, including UID 1000 user behavior, non-fatal SSH key generation, and better localhost detection in container networking (thanks to @yulia-ivashko).

### Fixes
- Web/PWA: fixed manifest behavior behind Cloudflare Access (thanks to @arthurfiorette).

## VS Code

### Improvements
- Chat/Performance: overhauled live sync and streaming updates to reduce re-render churn and keep long-running chats smooth in the extension.
- Sessions/UI: refined sidebar behavior with cleaner spacing, better truncation/tooltips, and a resizable sessions pane for tighter workspace control.
- Chat/Editor integration: improved Explorer file insertion.
- Reliability: startup now queues bridge and stream requests until the API is ready.
- Chat: reasoning content now renders through the markdown pipeline.
