Per-repo Spotlight, HTML previews

Spotlight

Spotlight testing is now configured per repository instead of globally - that means you can control workspace isolation per-project. image Spotlight is a useful feature for managing complex developer workflows - it allows you to run a single instance of your project and hot-swap branches, rather than running multiple branches in parallel.

The unreasonable effectiveness of HTML

We've added HTML previews. Thanks Thariq for the inspiration!

Automerge

You can now automerge PR's so they merge when CI passes.

Merge queue status

PRs in the merge queue now show their queued status in the git panel. Merge queue checks pending

Improvements

  • Moved the Automerge setting from Experimental to Git in Settings
  • Request metadata now shows Claude Code response speed
  • Click an image in chat to open it as a file tab in the top bar
  • Cloud beta just keeps getting better 🙂

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where Conductor would not show the restart prompt after a manually checked update finished downloading
  • Fixed an issue where the embedded Claude login terminal could disappear before login finished
  • Fixed an issue where pasted images could appear only after workspace setup finished
  • Fixed an issue where Claude fast mode credit limits were not surfaced in the composer
  • Fixed remote workspace image previews for attachments and markdown images
  • Fixed an issue where editing CRLF files could rewrite every line ending
  • Fixed diff header toggle spacing
  • Fixed an issue where plain git push in new Conductor workspaces did not set the branch upstream
  • Fixed an issue where @ referencing files could lead to files being removed
  • Fixed file sync startup so remote workspaces no longer require SSH config
  • Fixed an issue where sleeping cloud workspaces could fail to archive
  • Fixed an issue where typing in the file editor with Find (⌘F) open would scroll the line being edited to the top of the viewport
  • Fixed an issue where queued PRs could briefly appear merged in Conductor
  • Fixed an issue where sending a queued message immediately could miss newly added attachment uploads
  • Fixed an issue where queued messages could be hidden while Conductor downloads an agent
  • Fixed an issue where Conductor showed agent binary downloads and held messages even when a custom executable was configured

Misc

  • You now see a heads-up toast when changing model or effort level mid-chat that the next response will be slower
  • Aligned the context usage control in the composer
