The lead insight: this was an agents maturity push — making chats movable anywhere, trimming the agent tool surface, and making cloud sessions more reliable.
First, Move Chats Block 9. PR 343022 lets sessions without a workspace move like any other session, with chats able to move between workspace-less and foldered sessions. That required per-chat workspace context, a new scratch folders database, and rules for shared folders. The follow-up in PR 343161 fixes the sharp…
Second, simpler and safer Copilot. PR 343107 makes dynamic auto tiers the only switch for Fusion, removing older ensemble settings, and PR 343123 renames it to Copilot Fusion with finalized picker strings. In parallel, a stacked cleanup removes the install extension tool in PR 343120, the run V-S Code command tool…
Third, cloud sessions for production use. PR 343057 adds repository-owned cloud automations, and PR 343091 brings issue and pull request triggers beyond schedules. Reliability follows with PR 343066 explaining startup failures in plain language, and PR 343029 preserving drafts when cloud creation fails. Test…
