GitHub issues, Graphite stacks, continue chats, table of contents

You can now attach GitHub issues in the chat.

When using Graphite to stack changes, your stack will appear in the right sidebar.

We've added two new options after you merge a PR:

1. Click "Update memory" to ask Claude to learn from its mistakes and update its memory.

2. Click "Continue on new branch" to start work on a new feature in the same workspace. Use this to keep your chats and ignored files, or if it takes a long time to create new workspaces.

We've also added a table of contents to easily navigate through the chat.

Improvements

• Improved sub-agent rendering to match the rest of the chat
• When running scripts, redirect /dev/null to stdin to discourage interactive behaviors

Fixes
