Fixes and improvements

Minor fixes and improvements.

Improvements

• Styling improvements to the Dispatcher (⌘N dialog)
• UI improvements for cloud setup
• Added an "Add your first project" button in the sidebar during onboarding. It opens the add-repository menu and disappears after the user adds a project.
• Repo-scoped settings now take effect as soon as they're loaded into your workspace. (They don't need to be in the repository root/main worktree.)

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where run script tabs appeared in workspaces that had not run that script.
• Fixed an issue where error details in expanded recoverable errors, banners, and inline error notices could not be selected for copying.
• Fixed an issue where error notifications could appear behind a dialog's dimmed background, making clone and setup error toasts visible over the Quick start and Clone GitHub repo dialogs.
• Fixed a delay before code comments appeared in the composer for cloud workspaces.
• Fixed an issue where archiving a workspace could ignore its delete_branch_on_archive setting.

Misc

• Renamed the onboarding sample project from "Quickstart" to "Starter project" in the sidebar and local clone folder name. The cloned remote is unchanged.

Create workspace from issue

You can now create workspaces from Linear or GitHub issues through the "Create from..." dropdown (⌘I).

The old ⌘⇧N dialog is gone.

Improvements

• Built-in slash commands like /compact, /clear, and /plan now insert into the composer when selected from the autocomplete menu and send on a second Enter, matching custom commands and skills.
• Added a refresh button for Linear auth.

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the agent's workspace diff could compare against the wrong base branch for PRs targeting a non-default branch.
• The Run and Setup tabs now pick up .conductor/settings.toml changes without an app restart.
• Fixed an .internal/node_modules failed to start error.
• Fixed an issue where a dialog would stay open after navigating away.

Codex goal support

Codex goal support

/goal is now available for Codex sessions in Conductor - now you can run /goal in Conductor while you watch goals in the World Cup.

Cursor support & Dispatcher

Cursor 🤝 Conductor

Conductor now supports Cursor Composer 2.5! It's fast, precise, and cost-efficient. We're excited to see how it improves your workflow.

To get started, select Composer 2.5 in the model picker. You'll have to grab a Cursor API key and add it in Settings → Providers.

Introducing Dispatcher

We've added a new way to kick off a workspace: the Dispatcher. When you create a new workspace, Conductor opens the Dispatcher so you can submit a prompt.

Toggle on create more to keep dispatching requests. Open Dispatcher with ⌘N.

Improvements

• Added a terminal scrollback limit setting in Advanced settings, shown as an approximate MB limit. The default scrollback limit is 10 MB, and persisted terminal snapshots retain the configured scrollback.
• Added a setting to start run scripts automatically after new local workspaces finish setup. The setting can be configured globally or per repository through scripts.auto_run_after_setup.
• Added a General preference to apply downloaded updates automatically when local agents are idle, using the existing Restart when idle update flow.
• Added support for multiple named Preview URLs, with a split-button Open menu and reordering controls in settings.
• Improved responsiveness when Conductor has many archived workspaces by reducing broad workspace subscriptions in common app chrome.

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where interactive agent questions could fail or get stuck instead of showing a response prompt.
• Fixed the dashed plan-mode border shifting the layout and cutting through the middle of the new-workspace composer.
• Fixed setup and run script configuration buttons that opened the wrong repository settings tab, and updated in-app help text from legacy conductor.json references to .conductor/settings.toml.
• Fixed an issue where old managed settings at ~/.conductor/settings.json could be interpreted as user settings.
• Fixed agents sometimes not having access to Conductor environment variables, such as CONDUCTOR_WORKSPACE_PATH.
• Fixed an issue where repository setup, run, and archive scripts saved in older versions could stop applying after settings migration.
• Fixed markdown links, file paths, images, code blocks, and Mermaid diagrams so they behave the same in Tufte and Default markdown styles.
• Fixed blank web search previews in Codex sessions.
• Fixed browser preview authentication for localhost dev servers by serving previews through localhost instead of 127.0.0.1, so cookie-based auth flows work in Conductor's preview browser.
• Fixed an issue where opening Settings could request access to protected repo folders.
• Fixed an issue where Claude auth checks could repeatedly trigger Claude Code hooks while Conductor was open.
• Fixed an issue that stopped Bedrock authentication with CLAUDE_CODE_USE_BEDROCK=1 from automatically registering.

Repo settings, browser preview

Settings, now built around TOML

Conductor now supports file-backed settings at user and repo scope. Repositories can use .conductor/settings.toml as the shared team config, while local user preferences stay in ~/.conductor/settings.toml or repo-local overrides. Learn more about how settings work here.

Browser preview, powered by Agentation

Browser preview is available under Settings > Experimental > In-app Browser! To get started, run your app using the Run tab. Click open in the sidepanel or press ⌘⇧B to render a localhost page inside Conductor. It comes built in with Agentation. Click on the UI, leave precise notes, and attach those annotations to the chat composer as context for the agent. Shout out to Benji Taylor and the Agentation team!

Queue improvements

The Composer queue gets keyboard navigation! Now you can use the arrows to navigate the queue directly from the chat. From the queue, you can take action on messages entirely with your keyboard - E to edit, return to send, and delete to remove.
