We fixed a bug causing slow startup times.

Todos

Introducing todos! Click the notes tab to see a list of what's necessary to merge your work.

Workspaces are blocked until your todos are checked off, so you don't accidentally merge unfinished work.

Read diffs

Claude Code can now read the workspace diff. Under the hood, it uses a new tool called GetWorkspaceDiff.

City Tiers

We added a tiering system for cities in the Passport. See how many legendary cities you can visit!

An experimental new way to test changes

We're also experimenting with a new system for testing changes in Conductor called Spotlight. Spotlight works by syncing changes in your workspace to the repo root, so you only ever need one server running at a time.

Spotlight testing is a great fit for:

• Repos that are costly to run the first build, but easier to run subsequent incremental builds
• Repos that depend on a single external resource (a database, a port)

Let us know if you'd like to try it out!

Improvements:

• Added question navigation when providing input during planning
• Claude now uses markdown formatting when asking questions
• Added a search bar to the keyboard shortcuts dialog
• Updated system prompts to let agents know about shared .context directory
• Claude and Codex now have access to your shell configurations (.zshrc, etc.)
• Dedupe branch names when creating a workspace from a remote branch
• Only show 5 most recently used chats to pull context from when creating a new session
• Preserve notes and attachments in .context when forking a workspace

Fixes:

• Fix cancel button tooltip
• ESC no longer is captured in Terminal (vim works again!)
• Fixed issue where pressing ESC didn’t close dialogs
• Fixed some bugs with smart scrolling in the chat using arrow keys
• Ignore changes in .context directory for checkpointing
• Fixed “Mono Font” setting not persisting on app restart
• Fix Claude question custom input to use configured send key (Enter or Cmd+Enter)
• Fixed Claude/Codex using our bundled version of node
• Fixed jank with mentioning files (agents seeing <CHORUS_TAG>)
• Hide "attach to chat" button for folders in the file tree

Misc:

• Made the context meter icon thinner
• Removed headers from Claude’s questions
• Navigate to your Passport using the command palette
• Added timestamps to attachments pasted to the composer

Workspace context

All new workspaces now have a .context directory. Attachments, plans, and notes are automatically stored here. Learn more here.

Fixes:

• Summaries from forking chats are now stored in the new workspace’s directory

Workspaces page

Use the workspaces page to view a history of all of your workspaces. Open existing or un-archive old workspaces. Filter by repo, branch, or PR number.

Context

You’ll now see an indicator in the Composer when Claude is close to running out of context.

Interactive plan mode

Claude will now ask interactive questions when helping you plan changes.

Workspace context
