Big Terminal Mode

We've brought back Big Terminal Mode! You can now run a full terminal in the center panel with ⌘⇧T and run any agent you'd like. Session history is restored on restart. Turn on Big Terminal Mode in Settings → Experimental.

You can also configure new terminals to quick start with custom presets, so ⌘⇧T can kick off OpenCode, Gemini, and more.

You can now view and refresh MCP status in the /mcp-status dialog.

We've reduced the Conductor bundle by 150MB. We've removed our dependency on Node and now run the Claude Code executable via Bun.

If you're running Conductor via Bedrock, you can now pass a model in the Settings → Provider config.

Finally, we've improved performance across the whole app. More to come!
