Release notes.

Fixes

• Vertical split exit — fixed a bug where closing a vertical split pane could leave the layout in a broken state.
• Right panel header — cleaned up visual inconsistencies in the right panel header.

New features

• Commit & push status — the sidebar now shows whether each worktree has unpushed commits, so you always know what's waiting to land.
• Command palette recents — recently used worktrees and actions float to the top of the command palette for faster access.
• Commit view in the review panel — the PR review panel now includes a commit list alongside the diff so you can navigate changes commit by commit.
• Add-worktree hotkey — create a new worktree from the keyboard without reaching for the mouse.
• Harness system prompt — Claude sessions now start with workspace context baked in, so Claude understands your project setup from the first message.
• Claude settings sync — Claude Code settings are symlinked across all worktrees so configuration changes apply everywhere at once.

Improvements

• Settings panels are now organized into sub-menus for easier navigation.
• Split panes now support a vertical orientation in addition to the existing horizontal layout.

Fixes

• Fixed several UX rough edges in the changed-files panel.
• Fixed teleport incorrectly navigating to a merged branch instead of the target worktree.

New features

• Agent model selector — choose which Claude model powers each agent, so you can mix Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku across worktrees.
• Fuzzy file picker — jump to any file in the worktree instantly with a keyboard-driven fuzzy search.
• Performance monitor — track token usage and latency per agent with a live time-series chart.
• Hotkey cheat sheet — press ? to bring up a full reference of every keyboard shortcut.
• In-app PR review screen — browse pull request diffs and check CI status without leaving Harness.
• Codex support — run Codex-powered agents alongside Claude sessions in the same workspace.
• First-repo onboarding — new users see a guided setup flow before adding their first repository.

Improvements

• Hooks are now installed globally across all worktrees at once, rather than one at a time.
• Last-active timestamps are more precise with improved debounce tuning.

New features

• Configurable auto-updates — choose whether to install updates automatically or review them first.
• Right panel toolbar and port tracking for dev servers running in worktree shells.

Improvements

• Diff and file viewer overhauled for faster navigation. External links open in your default browser.
• Merged worktrees are visually dimmed. MCP initial prompts now forwarded correctly.

Fixes

• Fixed Monaco not recognizing .tsx/.jsx, a file-open race, and enabled Electron sandbox.

New features

• Automatic GitHub auth — if you have gh installed and logged in, Harness picks up your token automatically. No more pasting a PAT unless you want to.
• Line change counts — the changed-files panel now shows how many lines were added and removed per file.
• Colored repo names — each repo gets a distinct accent color in the sidebar for quick visual scanning.

Improvements

• Worktree deletion is now animated instead of snapping out of the list.

New features

• Per-repo project settings — configure auto-approved build commands per repository.
• Pending tool call display — see what Claude is asking permission for before you approve.
• Shell tab activity indicator and per-repo panel visibility toggles.

Improvements

• Hotkey badges appear app-wide and respect collapsed groups. Settings closes with Esc.
• Changed-files panel left-truncates long paths. Hooks restart preserves your Claude session.
• Terminal shows a loading indicator until the first byte arrives.

New features

• Split panes with Cmd+D — divide any terminal tab into side-by-side panes.
• MCP initial prompt — when Claude creates a worktree through the MCP server, it can pass a starting prompt so the new Claude session begins working immediately.

Improvements

• Command center got a visual refresh with better spacing and status indicators.
• Worktree setup and teardown lifecycle is now more robust, handling edge cases around failed dependency installs.

Fixes

• Fixed a bug where the auto-updater could hang on restart.

New features

• Built-in MCP server — Claude can create and manage worktrees directly through tool use.
• Command palette (Cmd+K) — quick-search worktrees, repos, and actions.
• PR reviews, syntax highlighting, and env var settings for Claude/shell sessions.

Improvements

• Faster new-worktree flow. Repo icons and branch names in tab headers. Cleanup filterable by repo.

New features

• Multi-repo in one window — add multiple git repositories to the sidebar. Each repo's worktrees are grouped under its own header.

Fixes

• Fixed auto-update hang caused by stuck PTY cleanup on app quit.
• Fixed status dots getting stuck on red (needs-approval) after the approval was already given.

New features

• Resizable panels — drag dividers between sidebar, terminal, and right panel.
• All-files browser — see every file in the worktree, not just changed files.
• Background update checks — periodic release checks, not just at launch.

Improvements

• Standardized right panel layout. File tabs show status dots. Draggable title bar.
• Left panel refreshes on window focus. New Claude loading animation.

New features

• Command center — a grid view showing every worktree at a glance with mini activity timelines.
• Send text to Claude — type or drag text into a running Claude terminal from elsewhere in the app.
• Remote teleport — jump to a running Claude session from external triggers.

Improvements

• Sidebar sorting now groups by activity status so the busiest worktrees float to the top.
• Activity stats are preserved for deleted worktrees so historical data isn't lost.

New features

• Draggable tabs + split-pane layout — rearrange terminal tabs by dragging, and split the workspace into a grid.
• Custom fonts — pick your preferred font family and size for the terminal and editor.
• Mass archive — bulk-delete worktrees older than a chosen age to reclaim disk space.
• GitHub connect prompt — onboarding now nudges you to connect GitHub when you open a PR for the first time.

Fixes

• Fixed Cmd+Up / Cmd+Down cycling through worktrees in an unexpected order.
• Fixed changing a setting unexpectedly restarting the active Claude session.

New features

• Onboarding quest — first-time users get starter prompts, a nudge to launch their first agent, and a parallelism quest to try running two Claudes at once.
• Activity view — see per-worktree status history over time so you can tell which agents were productive and which got stuck.
• Full-screen new-worktree flow — creating a worktree now walks you through branch naming and kickoff prompts in a focused view.
• "Continue" action — after a worktree's PR is merged, re-fork it in place to keep working on a follow-up.
• Local merge — merge a worktree branch locally when there's no open PR.

Improvements

• New worktrees open a shell tab alongside Claude automatically.
• Sidebar groups renamed from "No PR / Active PRs" to "Active / Open PRs" for clarity.

Fixes

• Fixed Claude session resume across app restarts — sessions now reconnect reliably instead of spawning duplicates.

New features

• Multiple Claude tabs per worktree — open a second (or third) Claude session in the same worktree when one isn't enough.
• Built-in worktree guide — new users see a short guide explaining what worktrees are and how Harness uses them.

Fixes

• Various UX tweaks and a fix for PTY sessions not resuming correctly.

New features

• 9 color themes — choose from dark, light, solarized, and more in Settings. The theme applies to the terminal, editor, and all UI chrome.

New features

• Persistent terminals — terminal tabs and scrollback history survive app restarts. No more losing context when you relaunch.
• Settings overhaul — two-column layout with sidebar navigation, hotkey rebinding UI, an updates panel, and a configurable Claude launch command.
• GitHub setup banner — on first launch, a banner walks you through pasting a GitHub token so PR status works immediately.
• Cmd+, opens Settings — standard macOS shortcut now works.

Features

• Reliable status detection — powered by Claude Code hooks, not output parsing. See at a glance which agents are working, waiting, or asking for permission.
• PR status panel — live PR state and CI checks per worktree, with quick links to GitHub.
• Changed files + inline diffs — review what Claude changed without leaving the app.
• Configurable hotkeys — Cmd+1–Cmd+9 to jump between worktrees, Cmd+T for a new tab, Cmd+Shift+G to open the PR.
• Worktree management — create and delete worktrees from the sidebar with dirty-change warnings.
• Auto-updater — updates delivered via GitHub Releases.
