title: A /summary command for sessions
---

## App

### New
- Chat/Commands: added `/summary` slash command for a non-destructive session summary - optional topic hint after the command focuses the output, and the prompt is customizable under Settings: Magic Prompts.

### Improvements
- Settings/Sync: settings updates now sync reliably across clients, and sidebar session pagination is steady in larger workspaces.
- Sessions/Folders: folder changes now persist through server-backed endpoints.
- Notifications: permission notifications are now suppressed when auto-accept is enabled.
- UI: improved the bottom scroll shadow and hid the tasks row when there is no active work.
- Reliability/Desktop: improved live event-stream recovery after transient stalls, wait briefly before failing chat actions during reconnects, and persist Electron server logs for easier disconnect debugging.

### Fixes
- Sessions/Reliability: fixed parent-child session sync during reconnects and navigation (thanks to @jwcrystal).
- Chat/Files: improved changed-files handling in chat and restored quick file-open flows from pending changes (thanks to @jwcrystal).
- Desktop/macOS: System color mode now tracks OS theme changes, traffic-light controls stay visible after dock restore, and update restart/changelog handling is more reliable.
