Highlights

This week’s updates focus on smoother, more predictable developer workflows and richer file support. You can expect more reliable chat behavior, clearer plan approval controls, faster interaction modes, and improved schematic handling across the CLI and VS Code.

​
New features

​
Plan execution and approval controls

You can now choose how approved plans execute with a Manually or Automatically execution toggle in both the VS Code extension and the CLI TUI, giving you clear control over when actions run. An always-visible approval-mode pill in the composer footer lets you quickly switch between requiring per-action confirmations and auto-approving safety confirmations.

​
Schematics and EDIF support

Altium and EDIF uploads now surface synthesized KiCad schematics so the viewer shows accurate, geometry-preserving schematics across the CLI and VS Code. Altium files render more consistently, including compatibility with synthesized .kicad_sch companions.

​
Background shell sessions and task logs

Shell tasks can run in the background with output written to per-task log files so you can keep working while long-running commands complete. Task management and log access make it easier to track progress and inspect full outputs without blocking your main session.

​
Miscellaneous

  • Fast mode and new model provider
  • MCP servers panel in the VS Code side-bar
  • Conversation experience and modal routing
