Conductor Allegro, GPT-5.5

We've re-built the app from scratch to make it twice as fast. Creating tabs, switching workspaces, and rendering files are all 50% faster, memory usage is lower, and the app is 150 MB smaller.

GPT-5.5 is now available in Conductor:

Improvements

• Switching between chats now remembers your scroll position
• Terminal tabs stay clickable when auto-renamed to short labels, and many tabs can now scroll horizontally instead of being squashed
• You can now go back between onboarding steps
• Reduced GitHub usage when polling PR info
• PR status is now restored from cache on startup, so the git panel shows real state immediately instead of "Loading PR info..."
• Moved Garry mode into General settings and added ⌃O to toggle it
• Embedded terminals now stay running when their UI temporarily closes
• Switching workspaces is faster when interactive terminals are open
• You can now drag files and folders from the Files tab into the composer
• Review sessions now use new review instructions
• Remind agents to compare to origin/main (remote ref) rather than local
• You can now choose terminal tabs and recent commands from @terminal
• The app window now has a minimum size to prevent layout issues
• Reduced time-to-first-response by making start checkpoints non-blocking
• Thinking blocks now look nicer
• The right sidebar is now narrower by default and can be resized smaller
• Archiving a workspace now saves uncommitted changes as a commit
