Vespin 0.29.0

The sidebar, redesigned

The workspace switcher heads the sidebar with New task at the end of its row, and Search, Home, Inbox, Tasks, and Automations stand under it. My tasks sets whose tasks the sidebar lists, and its menu groups them by repository, by progress (Needs you, Working, In review, and Up next), or not at all. Each row ends in one mark and its time. (#7796, #7797, #7798, #7804, #7806, #7801, #7795)

Each agent keeps its own side panel

A task's agents line up in one row across its page, and the open agent's sheet holds its conversation beside its own tabs: its pull request, Terminal, Browser, and the files and pages opened from it. Coming back to an agent returns to the tab you left it on, and links open as ordinary tabs. (#7441, #7445, #7446, #7451, #7472, #7688, #7690, #7698)

Sounds when an agent needs you

Vespin plays a sound when an agent you started finishes or asks you something, always or only while it is in the background. Settings › Account › Sounds offers fourteen of them, and Show a notification posts one you can press to open the agent or its Inbox thread. (#7537, #7539, #7541, #7542)

Share a cloud agent's port

Each port in the plug menu of an agent's box opens on your Mac or shares by a public link you can copy and stop sharing, which lasts while the agent's sandbox runs. Ports forward to your Mac only once you switch on Forward to localhost. (#7473, #7474, #7577, #7677, #7715, #7717, #7720, #7726, #7727, #7732, #7676, #7704)

Set up cloud agents' sandboxes

Settings › Environment keeps the workspace's environment variables, and Settings › Cloud setup keeps a script that installs software and a setup script for each repository. A new cloud agent's sandbox runs them after its checkout, and the agent reads what they printed. (#7406, #7415, #7427, #7692, #7710, #7725)

Delete a workspace

The owner of a team workspace can delete it, and everything in it, from Settings › Workspace. Setup deletes a team workspace you made and then left as Just me, asking first where someone joined it. (#7438, #7786, #7788, #7789, #7803, #7805)

Improvements

• Deleting your account deletes the workspaces only you are in and names them, hands a shared workspace you own to its longest-standing admin or member, and leaves your tasks there under a grayed-out Deleted account (#6960, #6963, #7457, #7748, #7764, #7780, #7783, #7785, #7802, #7810)
• A member who leaves a workspace stays assigned to their tasks, grayed out as a former member (#7807)
• ⌘Z and ⇧⌘Z reach every Undo a toast offers, and never undo over a change made since (#7745, #7752, #7753, #7754, #7755, #7756, #7781)
• Every task row, on the Tasks page, a task's Sub-tasks and Relations, Home, and a person's page, gathers its marks at its end and mutes a settled task, and an agent's row draws the same way (#7782, #7816)
• An agent that opened several pull requests shows each in the bar over its box, and its task stays open while any of them is (#7813, #7767)
• Following up on an agent's question without picking an option makes the thread the agent's turn until it posts again (#7794)
• The Pull request tab's header draws its state, merge status, branches, Stack, reviewers, and labels as one set of controls (#7740, #7811)
• In a narrow side panel, the Pull request tab keeps the chosen view's name while the others fold to their icons (#7694)
• GitHub comments in a transcript draw as GitHub renders them, callouts, tables, and pictures included (#7532, #7682, #7759)
• The Inbox stands Search inbox, Mark all read, and View options in one row over its list (#7799)
• Pressing an agent from an Inbox thread opens it in its own tab on its task (#7681)
• An archived agent opens read-only as a tab in its task's column, and History shows once an agent is closed or archived (#7340, #7463)
• An automation run's agent opens on its task, under ⚡ Automations and the automation's name (#7703, #7678)
• Right-clicking a task's name in the topbar opens its sidebar row's menu (#7538)
• Renaming a task, agent, or tab edits its name in place (#7673)
• A section's menus offer Change icon, and the icon picker asks each glyph's color in a popover (#7672)
• The sidebar drops its "N more in Done, Canceled" line (#7679, #7686)
• A page comment you close unsent stays pinned as a draft, and hovering a pin shows its whole comment (#7791, #7774)
• Cloud agents start sooner, and a message to a running one is answered without waiting on its runner (#7490, #7564, #7568, #7695, #7696, #7702, #7705, #7706)
• A cloud agent stays warm while it is on screen, and its Mac mirror starts then, so its Local tab is ready when you open it (#7479, #7484, #7768)
• An agent's Terminal and Browser tabs connect as soon as its sandbox opens, and a connecting Local tab names its step (#7369, #7448, #7495)
• An agent reads Starting… until its turn opens, a stalled turn ends failed with why, and a stopped one reads Stopping… until it ends (#7549, #7551, #7556, #7557, #7561, #7569, #7574, #7721)
• A queued message goes as soon as its agent's turn ends, even one you stopped or that failed (#7475, #7481)
• Cloud agents run Docker and sudo for what a repository's setup needs (#7488)
• A cloud agent's Runs on card says whose Mac run_on_mac runs on and whether it is online (#7347)

• A downloaded release says so in a toast with Restart (#7482, #7515)
• A call that gets no answer says to check your internet connection (#7518, #7519, #7522)
• Setup asks a new account three optional questions about how it came to Vespin (#7674)
• Invite always shows the Member and Admin roles with what each allows (#7714)
• An Inbox thread's hover card drops its answer line (#7534)
• An expired integration's toast names the integration alone (#7716)
• Connecting a ChatGPT plan raises no notice to acknowledge (#7744)
• A mention chip wraps with the words around it, and one held to a single line fades at its end rather than ending in an ellipsis (#7817)
