v0.79.0

Minor Changes

• Claude Code and Codex chats in the Agents panel can now use a browser to open pages, click, and take screenshots once you turn on Let agent chats use a browser in Settings → Preferences; it needs Google Chrome and Node.js and is off by default.
• In agent chats opened in the browser, hovering a GitHub pull request or issue link now shows a card with its title, state, and author, plus lines changed and merge status for pull requests.
• Agent chat messages now link qualified GitHub references like owner/repo#123, and ticket prefixes you list under autolinks in .ok/config.yml turn references like PRD-123 into links.
• Text files attached to an agent chat from outside the project, or from a browser, now travel with the message instead of being skipped, within the 700 KB attachment budget.

Patch Changes

• On macOS, files and folders created right after OpenKnowledge starts are no longer missed when it runs its fallback file watcher.
• In unpackaged Electron runs, a project server that is still starting when the 20 s startup deadline passes now gets up to 160 s instead of the project failing to open, and a server that times out is stopped rather than left running.
• A remembered agent reasoning level such as xhigh now comes back in new agent chats when another remembered setting, like turning thinking on, is what makes it available.
• When an in-app agent stops on its own while waiting for your next message or a sign-in, the chat now explains what happened in plain language, calls out the error line when there is one, keeps the rest of the output behind Show details, and offers a new chat.
• Under the read-only command grant in agent chats, commands that only looked read-only now prompt, including git branch and git tag with anything but listing options, git formats that run a signature check, printf, abbreviated refused options, and arguments hidden behind a redirection.
• Agent chat tabs now say whether each chat is working, waiting on you, ready or stopped, through a colored dot and the tab's screen reader name, and hovering a tab shows its full title, that state, whether it has new activity and when it was last active.
• In the desktop app, you can report a problem from an agent chat's Settings menu, and the report includes that conversation, with known secrets scrubbed, unless you uncheck it.
• On Linux, the desktop app no longer crashes when a native dialog or other system UI loads icons inside a container that grants extra capabilities, such as x11docker with --cap-add. The reported trigger was the folder picker.
• On Windows, stopping a project server no longer risks a native crash in its file watcher during shutdown.
• On Windows, typing right after a terminal is moved or resized no longer occasionally drops a character from the command.
