Highlights
This week focused on polishing the interactive experience across the VS Code extension and chat: clearer live-state feedback, more reliable recovery when panels move, and practical workflow improvements for attachments, queues, and serial tooling. The changes are aimed at reducing friction during live interactions and making tool execution and device workflows feel more predictable and responsive.New features
VS Code extension: attachments, queue panel, and peripheral workflows
You can attach files directly from the VS Code webview with mention chips and reliable compression handling, and manage queued messages from a new queue panel that lets you view, edit, and delete queued items. Peripheral management and serial monitor improvements make it easier to find and use connected devices, with auto-connect support, a serial output placeholder, and renamable serial tabs for clearer session organization.Miscellaneous
