Conductor Release Notes

You can now change your default model directly from the model picker: Anthropic broke context usage info in the latest SDK release, so we've temporarily removed it.

Improvements

• Added a button to copy the logs from a GitHub check
• Switching to a different agent type (e.g., from Claude to Codex) now immediately switches to a new tab, instead of waiting to generate a summary
• Clearer instructions for Claude’s ask-a-question tool
• More small rendering optimizations

Fixes

• Fixed markdown preview scroll in file and diff viewers
• Fixed a crash that would occur when archiving workspaces
• Fixed layout shift when creating workspaces from PRs

Lastly, a recommendation: please do not move or delete workspace or repo directories outside Conductor. It will get confused and have a bad time. We’ve added reminders about this in repo settings.

Sonnet 4.6 is now live in Conductor! We've replaced our diff viewer with a more accurate and beautiful diff engine. We’ve brought back more info about each workspace in the sidebar, so you can tell at a glance what repo and directory you’re in.

Improvements

• You can now drag and drop to reorder repositories in the sidebar.
• Adjustments to chat tab sizing
• You can now toggle sidebar visibility from the View menu

Fixes

• Clarify branch rename instruction, which Codex was misinterpreting
• Fix a bug where the right sidebar toggle button would incorrectly appear on the home page
• Fix an issue with textarea autoresizing in the UI for Claude's ask-a-question tool
• Fixed a bug where AI-generated chat titles might override manual changes

We’ve fixed some rendering and performance issues, including removing animations that caused high idle CPU usage.

We’ve added an option to delete workspaces that can’t be archived. (This can happen if something outside the app renames or deletes a workspace’s directory or worktree.)

Also, you can now rename chats in the tab bar:

Happy Valentine's Day!

Improvements

• Model picker is now keyboard-navigable
• Mermaid diagrams now support pan and zoom when expanded
• When you add 10+ attachments, they now scroll to save space
• We now remind the agent to write PR descriptions that cover all changes in the PR, not just changes it made
• In repo settings, you can now configure the URL used by the “Open” button

Fixes

• Rendering and UI performance improvements
• Fix an issue with Codex on x86_64 architecture

Workspaces are now organized by status: backlog, in progress, in review, and done. Workspaces are also labeled by PR title when available.
You can now customize the repository when using ⌘⇧N to create a workspace.

Improvements

Fixes

• Fixed incorrect line stats and diffs for uncommitted files

• Fixed workspace action tooltips flickering
• Skipped attaching PR templates when a custom PR description is provided

We’ve added chat summaries. Hover the table of contents to see a brief overview of your chat.

Failed GitHub Actions checks now have a re-run button, so you can retry them without leaving Conductor.

We’ve also added support for LaTeX.

Improvements

• Smoother experience opening files in IDEs like Cursor and VS Code
• Repo name is now included when searching for workspaces with /add-dir

• Fix chat scrolling performance by removing a redundant cache subscriber

You can now edit PR titles and descriptions in the Checks tab! When you ask the AI to create a PR it will use the values you provided. We’ve also improved several of the prompts used throughout Conductor, including for code review and chat summarization.

Improvements

• Added UI rendering for agent swarm tools
• Non-image files can now be pasted into the Composer

Fixes

• Fixed a bug where images copied in Conductor could not be pasted into the Composer
