Integrate with Linear, Faster Claude

Introducing the Dispatcher, a new way to create workspaces. You can now choose a branch name when creating a new workspaces, or create a new workspace from one of your Linear issues.

We've also added a new Auto mode, where Opus plans and Sonnet implements.

For CLI fans, we've added Big Terminal Mode™. Go to settings → Big Terminal Mode to change the center pane to a terminal. (Warning: not for the faint of heart. This will replace the chat interface!)
