Superset Release Notes

A big update covering the last three weeks

The chat interface got a top-to-bottom UX overhaul with a new rich-text prompt editor, slash-command and file-mention chips, and a redesigned tool-call system. The v2 workspace is now in early access, with panes, a diff viewer, a file editor, a review tab, and a browser pane. The Superset CLI shipped and then grew a self-contained tarball that can run the host-service anywhere. The desktop app got a full brand refresh, and GitHub integration is now free on every plan.

Chat UX overhaul #3039

Chat UX overhaul

Tiptap prompt input

The prompt is now a ProseMirror-based rich text editor with inline chips for commands and file references.

• Slash command chips — type / to open a command menu; the command becomes an inline chip anywhere in the message instead of submitting immediately. Chips with an argumentHint expose an inline editable input with auto-sizing and keyboard nav; /model shows a dropdown of available models.
• File mention chips — type @ to open a file-search popover anchored to the cursor. Picking a file inserts a chip that serializes to @path on send.
• Skill preload — /command chips are extracted before the LLM turn so the harness loads the right skill first. A SkillToolCall row shows in the message while the skill loads.
• Preview on hover — hovering a chip shows a popover with its description (hidden while an arg input is focused).
• IME composition guard prevents submit while CJK input is pending; Tab no longer auto-selects commands (Enter or click only).

Redesigned tool calls

• Compact, monospaced ToolInput / ToolOutput / ToolHeader layout with a braille spinner and left-side icons
• Subagent activity rendered inline as a collapsible tool wrapper, with full markdown for task prompt and response
• Clickable file names on every file-related tool call row (read, write, LSP inspect) — clicking opens the file in the editor pane
• Syntax-highlighted read-file output with filename header and line-range label; expand/collapse and copy on every code block

ask_user flow

• Footer overlay with pinned header/footer and scrollable option buttons — no more inline question UI
• Status chips (Awaiting Response / Answered / Cancelled) with a collapsible answer bubble; cancelled shows immediately when aborted
• Optimistic dismiss on submit; prompt textarea auto-focuses after answering
• ask_user is now required for all Superset questions — no plain-text fallbacks

Workspace status and notifications

• A pending question puts an orange dot on the workspace nav and fires a native OS toast, driven server-side through the lifecycle event pipeline so it works when the tab is unfocused
• Orange dot clears immediately on answer submit
• Auto-scroll to bottom on message send, new question arrival, and answer submit

The v2 workspace is in early access

v2 workspace early access

v2 is a ground-up rebuild of the workspace aimed at cloud. We tore out v1's accumulated cruft, rewrote the terminal from scratch to fix the rendering glitches, and re-architected the app like a real IDE — Tab → Split → Pane, a proper file tree with git decorations, a full editor, and a diff viewer that handles large changesets. Opt-in for now; here's what's in the box:

Pane layout system #3088

Pane layout system

A new flexible Tab → Split → Pane structure built on the @superset/panes package, with weighted resizable splits.

• Drag and drop panes to rearrange them
• Drag to reorder tabs within a tab group
• Right-click pane headers for split / close / close others
• Double-click a split separator to equalize pane sizes
• Cmd+Alt+Arrow moves focus between panes
• Closing the active pane focuses the nearest sibling

Diff viewer #3384

Diff viewer

v2 diff viewer

A GitHub-style multi-file diff pane with lazy loading, a persistent "Viewed" state synced to the sidebar Changes list, unified/split view toggles, and header actions for collapse, expand unchanged, copy, and revert. Open it in its own tab with ⌘⇧L.

File editor #3526

File editor

v2 file tree and editor

A full editor pane — foundation, views, and a large stability pass. The file tree shows git decorations inline.

Review tab #3463

Review tab

PR info, checks, and comments rendered inline in the v2 workspace, matching the v1 review experience.

PR checkout and launch context #3525 #3467

PR checkout and launch context

Check out a PR directly from v2 via a widened checkout procedure, and compose a full launch context (selected files, instructions, branch state) before starting work.

Browser pane #3346

Browser pane

Pages stay loaded across tab switches and workspace navigations — no reloads, no lost scroll or form state. URL bar, back/forward/reload, history autocomplete, DevTools, screenshots, and hard reload from the overflow menu.

Git Changes sidebar #3177

Git Changes sidebar

A Changes tab in the right sidebar showing ahead/behind status, commit count, and a filterable file list. Filter by all changes, uncommitted only, a single commit, or a commit range. Searchable base-branch picker and inline rename for unpushed branches.

Superset CLI #3194

Superset CLI

The superset CLI lets you manage Superset from your terminal, and ships as a self-contained tarball so you can run the host-service on a remote server, CI box, or cloud VM without the desktop app.

Binaries for macOS (arm64, x64) and Linux x64. --json output mode for scripting and agent use.

Brand refresh #3367

Brand refresh

Brand refresh — new logo and icon treatment

New logo and icon treatment across the desktop app, DMG installer background, tray icon, and wordmark. In dev builds, each workspace gets a color-coded corner fold on the dock icon so open workspaces are distinguishable at a glance.

GitHub integration is free #3152

GitHub integration is free

PR review, issue linking, and push-from-desktop are available on every plan — no Pro subscription required.

New workspace modal

• Worktree import settings for cloning directly into a workspace
• Branches appear immediately without a loading delay
• Modal state persists between opens

CodeMirror Editor

We replaced Monaco with CodeMirror for the built-in diff and file editor. CodeMirror is ~97% smaller (150KB vs 5MB), loads significantly faster, and uses far less memory. You'll feel the difference.

CodeMirror editor

Material Icon Theme

File icons in the sidebar and file tree now use the Material Icon Theme, bringing rich per-filetype icons familiar from VS Code. Hidden files are also always visible in the file sidebar.

New Diff View, Powered by diffs.com

New Diff View, Powered by diffs.com

#1308

The Changes view has been completely rebuilt with
Pierre Computer's diffs.com
engine — delivering a drastically improved diff experience in both UI and performance. Large changesets that previously lagged now render instantly, and the new interface makes reviewing diffs feel native and fluid.
The new viewer includes an edit mode toggle — switch between read-only review and live editing, and hit Ctrl+S to save changes directly from the diff.

• Workspace-scoped base branch — base branch selection is now per-workspace instead of global, so diffs always compare against the right branch

#1329

• Preserved file explorer state — expanded folders, scroll position, and selection persist when switching between Changes and Files tabs

#1297

• Compact tab buttons — Changes and Files tabs collapse to icon-only mode with tooltips when the sidebar is narrow

#1334

Powerful Preset Settings

#1320

Powerful Preset Settings

#1320

Terminal presets now have granular auto-apply controls. Configure when presets run independently for workspace creation and new tabs — so you can auto-run setup commands on new workspaces without them firing every time you open a tab.

12x faster - Deletion now completes in ~4-5 seconds instead of ~60 seconds. Terminal shutdowns and cleanup run in parallel, and git worktree removal uses a non-blocking background process.

Port scanning performance

Batched port scans per interval to reduce CPU usage and improve responsiveness

Memory leak fixes

Fixed memory leaks in terminal session management and workspace cleanup routines, reducing memory usage during long sessions

xterm viewport fixes

Resolved terminal viewport height issues that caused rendering problems
