Approval origins (reviewer/user/bypass, notes, grants) ride the tool message display sidecar so chips and deny blocks survive reload.
The Auto-Approve explainer is persisted once per session server-side with new shorter copy; later switches persist one-line markers.
Onboarding Next now accepts OAuth sign-in; an explicit draft folder pick survives a coworker change.
Composer shows context-window figures only (session totals on hold); specialists introduce themselves on first contact.
The Testing chip froze forever on guarded servers — the page never refetched
after the probe settled server-side. Opener renamed to Add custom MCP server.
Deep links (artifact/board chips, Access) force-show transiently without touching the pref.
Topbar Artifacts chip drops its cowork-only gate (artifacts are universal now).
Copy contents is the primary copy; path/open/reveal live in the labeled menu.
Access footer: '+ Add a source · Manage →'; mute explainer moves to the toggle tooltip.
Auto-collapse is edge-triggered now: stable callback identity + the rail notifies
only on real open/close transitions, so a manual toggle is never fought.
More fold gains a Files section listing workspace/scratch/granted roots.
Roots open in the artifact viewer (Files breadcrumb); folder click-through was already there.
Gated sessions run workspace+scratch dual-root; artifact listing scans scratch only.
Artifact chips resolve across workspace, scratch, and granted roots; request_directory registers for all sessions.
List groups General/Security with quiet disclosures for unshipped coworkers and the installer (native pickers for folder/zip); gallery is internal-build only.
Detail: markdown About with bundle screenshot carousel, one Connectors table (Status/Enable), tool calls collapsed under Advanced, management controls moved here.
Account menu drops Automations (sidebar nav has it) and the OpenWorker Cloud suffix.
Token savings + compaction move from Models to a new Settings - Context optimization tab.
Coworkers page loses its duplicate intro line.
Custom - MCP group after Connected; Add custom server modal at top; per-server detail subpage with Test.
Status never claims connected for stdio: Live / Ready + persisted tested-at / Not tested / Needs sign-in / Error.
Explicit connect reports stderr tails; a 401 on an anonymous http probe becomes needs-sign-in with a one-click OAuth switch.
Test button probes any enabled server row without opening a session.
Team members move from sidebar to a drawer panel; RECENT keeps one entry per team.
All sections collapsed by default; Journal/Access fold behind More; leads drop Progress.
Lead mentions the board once via a [.](board:) chip that opens the drawer.
Worker delivery is now a read-time feed over its slice (assigned ∪ filed) — send-backs, comment answers, reassignments, cancels, and acceptance all arrive through one relation; per-event recipient addressing retired.
Reassignment delivers before interest ends; a new assignee replays the item's story. Detail pane gains Add a note (never changes state); external pending/consume become space-scoped feed calls.
Send-back/unblock/cancel by someone else now land in the worker's queue (only cancel did — send-backs woke nobody); done stays unaddressed.
The Request changes button drops the send-to-X phrasing — it's a board write, delivery is the queue's job.
Sections are the store's states (In progress / Awaiting review / Queued), no row buttons or badges; blocked rows carry the blocker fact.
Detail pane merges the item's events into one timeline (filed/assigned/moves/comments/attachments), links the assignee to its worker session, and hosts the verdicts: Mark done / Request changes… (returns to the worker with the comment).
Rail shows active work only (finished behind a count); wake digests clamp hand-offs and ride a collapsed BoardWakeCard.
Typing while a proposal gate is pending resolves it as decline-with-feedback; essay criteria clamp in the gate card.
Composer autogrow now counts padding in its cap (first line no longer clips); lead/worker prompts push tight criteria and hand-offs.
The lead must end active turns with a sleep_for (3-5m, stretch when quiet); a 10-minute backstop wakes a lead that forgot while work is in flight.
Sleeping sessions show a strip with the next wake time and an Ask-for-a-status action — a scheduled agent never reads as a dead one.
ChatStore = groups + append-only messages + per-member cursors; agent posts wake mentions only, user posts wake everyone; post_chat(record_on_item) also lands the answer as an item comment.
Leads name workers (the callname is the handle everywhere); worker digests auto-carry the roster; gate checkbox is the user's call; canceling an assigned item now interrupts an in-flight worker.
Leads lose propose_plan (trait-derived exclusion — plan mode is meaningless without execution tools) and gain propose_work_items: mode-independent decomposition whose approval creates the items.
Team field moves off the turn-save upsert to a dedicated setter (workers detached from their lead after one turn); board deliveries carry a MessageSource sidecar; test-worker prefers project-local tool installs.
swe-lead (minimal tools, coordination verbs) + swe/design/test workers with the shared worker contract; workers never surface in the picker — they're staffed, not started.
Staffing card rides the approval slot; workers nest under the lead's ONE expandable RECENT entry in both sidebar layouts.
Plan proposals live in the conversation (plan-approval flow); items are created open/unassigned and work starts at assignment — the granted, revocable authority.
Also closes a verify gap: tail truncation is now caught against the stored head hash.
Board+journal endpoints act as the user; sessions get lead verbs behind OPENWORKER_TEAM_BOARD=1 until the team trait lands.
Rail hides all team chrome until the workspace has items; expand opens a full-width state-column board.
Drop allow-same-origin (srcDoc ran the page same-origin with the privileged
webview) and inject a no-network CSP so a poisoned report can't exfiltrate at
display time. Inline script/style keep working; system browser is the escape hatch.
Fact strip: 'OpenWorker installs its own verified copy from <publisher>' replaces
supply-chain jargon. On decline the engine re-resolves — a copy the user installed
themselves is handed to the agent as theirs, not treated as a refusal.
Registry metadata (version, publisher, checksum) moves to a distinct fact strip.
Decline button renamed to say the run continues; reason capped to one sentence.
Sidecar inherits the login shell's env; toolchain resolves absolute paths with pinned
installs; request_tool replaces the 'tool missing -> STOP' instruction that hid a check.
