* fix: reveal message metadata on hover, not on click
The message timestamp, the provider/model label crossfade, and the hover
action toolbar all revealed on `:focus-within` over the message row. A mouse
click sets focus, so clicking a tool card, an expand toggle, or a code block
button parked focus inside the row and pinned all three open long after the
pointer had left.
Key the focus half of each reveal on `:focus-visible` instead. A pointer
click no longer counts, while keyboard focus still does, so a sighted
keyboard user still reaches the model name and the timestamp by tabbing. An
action that opens a surface keeps the toolbar up through `hover-button-active`
as before.
* fix: fade the message row reveal instead of snapping it
The footer actions carried no opacity transition at all, so they arrived in a
single frame while the timestamp eased in behind them over 200ms and the
provider/model crossfade ran on the 300ms card-resize spring it had borrowed.
One hover, three different arrivals.
Put all three on the shared `duration-theme-normal` motion role with a common
ease-out, and add the reduced-motion guard the timestamp and the footer were
missing. `MinimalHoverButtons` now composes the shared reveal helper rather
than repeating its classes inline.
The reveal transition names `color` and `background-color` alongside `opacity`
because `cn` merges the whole `transition-*` group: a bare `transition-opacity`
would replace the `transition-colors` a `Button` contributes and the hover tint
would snap.
* fix: widen the message row keyboard-focus test
Two gaps in the `:focus-visible` reveal, both raised in review.
`:has()` never matches its own subject, so keying the reveal on
`:has(:focus-visible)` missed the row element itself. `MessageNav` moves the
reader by setting `tabindex="-1"` on the row and focusing it, which left a
focused row showing its focus ring while its timestamp, its model name and its
actions all stayed hidden.
Text-entry controls match `:focus-visible` even when a mouse clicks them, so a
click into the textareas `ToolApproval` and `AskUserQuestion` render inside a
row still pinned that row's metadata open with the pointer somewhere else. They
are excluded from the descendant half of the test. Every toolbar action is a
button, so a keyboard user still never focuses a hidden one.
Both halves are now one condition,
`:is(:focus-visible, :has(:focus-visible:not(:is(input, textarea, [contenteditable]))))`,
applied to the timestamp, the header label and the footer actions alike.
* fix: split the row focus test into two variants
Folding the row-itself and descendant halves into a single
`group-[&:is(...)]` made Tailwind emit a bare `.group$ { opacity: 1 }`, which
lightningcss refuses to minify. That failed the client CSS build and every job
downstream of it while jest and tsc stayed green, because neither ever builds
the stylesheet.
The condition is unchanged in behaviour, expressed as `group-focus-visible`
plus `group-has-[:focus-visible:not(:is(input,textarea,[contenteditable]))]`.
The plain CSS in style.css keeps the `:is()` form, which is valid there.
The stale string also had to come out of the specs: tailwind scans
`src/**/*.{ts,tsx}`, so a class literal in a test file reaches the production
stylesheet.
* fix: split the timestamp focus selector too
`:has()` nested inside `:is()` made postcss log "Failed to parse selector" on
every client build. The rule survived intact, but the warning was noise coming
from this change, and splitting it matches how the Tailwind side now expresses
the same condition.
Behaviour is unchanged: hover, a focused row and a mouse-clicked textarea all
measure the same as before.

🚀 What's New in v0.8.8-rc1
- Agent run control: Interrupt or steer an Agent mid-run, queue follow-up messages, and reclaim, edit, or escalate pending steers.
- Human-in-the-loop Agents: Agents stream question progress, ask up to four related questions in one form, pause for input or tool approval, and resume.
- Unified Agent Builder: A redesigned Tools marketplace brings together Skills, MCP, Code Interpreter, orchestration, Programmatic Tool Calling, model-spec controls, and per-tool background and intent settings.
- Readable Agent activity: Generated activity-group headers, parent phase summaries, and live tool intent labels make long reasoning and tool runs easier to scan.
- Code Interpreter workflows: Code and shell tools can run in the background, sandbox images return as viewable artifacts, and highly experimental stateful sessions can reuse prewarmed conversation workspaces.
- Agent extensibility: Experimental Agent Plugins can bundle deployment Skills, MCP servers, and opt-in command hooks, while explicit subagents initialize only when selected.
- Memory, context, and identity: Agents can manage memory with optional per-agent isolation, expose support contacts safely, and show a more faithful Context Usage gauge.
- Sharing and files: Shared conversations show a badge and update at a stable URL, while signed-in viewers can continue them as personal copies.
- Artifact workflows: Open previews fullscreen, work with PowerPoint
.potxtemplates across upload, search, and code execution, upload shell scripts across common MIME variants, export Mermaid diagrams as SVG or PNG, and download original Office files from the artifact panel. - Models and reasoning: Added GPT-5.6 with Responses API reasoning controls, Claude Opus 5 and Sonnet 5, Gemini 3.7 and 3.6 Flash, and Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite.
- Langfuse observability: Configure encrypted Langfuse connections in-app, let authorized admins open sampled sessions directly, optionally fan out traces by tenant, and suppress central export per run.
- Administration and security: Delegate config sections, encrypt registered secrets, enforce SSRF checks for speech, OCR, and web tools, and generate unique temporary credentials when secrets are blank.
- Messages and navigation: Right-aligned user turns, unified multi-part editing, full-message copy, a dock-style message rail, virtualized search, smooth streaming, and faster Agent startup.
- Streaming and tool reliability: Adaptive provider smoothing, Redis delta batching, dynamic MCP tool refresh, parsed MCP response media types, runtime OAuth recovery, and Agent stream circuit breakers improve long-running workflows.
- Deployment and reliability: Added configurable HTTP timeouts, Amazon DocumentDB 5.0+ support, low-noise Redis and browser observability, and a rolling-upgrade-safe generation protocol.
