[v0.5.0] — 2026-07-10

[Bug fix] Messaging a long-idle session no longer risks the new turn being killed mid-flight by the idle reaper (#1834)
[UI / Feature] Introduce more secure sharing modes and the ability to toggle public chats on/off. (#1835)
[UI / Feature] Added: .ipynb notebooks render as read-only previews in the workspace file viewer (raw JSON still available via the source view) (#1848)
[Feature] OMNIGENT_OIDC_SKIP_EMAIL_VERIFICATION=1 lets OIDC logins through when the IdP omits the email_verified claim (e.g. standard-tier Okta with directory-provisioned users) (#1859)
[UI / Feature] User message bubbles now have a copy button, matching assistant responses (#1900)
[UI] Renamed the sidebar's "Chats" section to "Sessions" to match the "New session" button (#1903)
[UI / Bug fix] Brain-harness override (e.g. claude-sdk vs openai-agents) is now remembered across sessions per agent (#1904)
[UI / Bug fix] "Back to Omnigent" from Settings now returns you to the conversation you were viewing instead of the home page (#1905)
[Bug fix] Release notes now list only user-facing bug fixes and call out breaking changes in their own section (#1909)
[Test/CI] Auto-drafted docs now stage on a per-minor X.Y-docs branch and publish to the live site at release, instead of deploying on merge. (#1915)
[UI] Removed the collapse toggle from the Files panel "Working folder" header — the file list is always visible (#1916)
[UI / Bug fix] Opencode agents addressed as native-opencode now render with their native terminal UI instead of falling back to plain chat. (#1929)
[Bug fix / Chore] Fixed harness workers (claude, codex, etc.) failing to start when omnigent is launched from a macOS or Linux GUI client due to a stripped PATH. Fix now lives in the Electron launcher (web/electron/src/main.js) per reviewer guidance. (#1935)
[Feature] Child-session lookup by (agent, title) now filters server-side instead of fetching all children and scanning in Python. (#1944)
[Bug fix] Sandboxed claude-sdk harnesses now authenticate from an existing host Claude login (~/.claude/.credentials.json is bound into the sandbox). (#1946)
[Chore / Test/CI] Runner MCP servers are shared across matching agent specs and started lazily to reduce local memory use. (#1948)
[Bug fix] Fixed: resumed claude-native sessions no longer crash on compaction ("Cannot destructure property 'cumulativeDroppedTokens'") (#1957)
[UI / Feature] The Claude model picker now offers Fable and both Sonnet generations (Sonnet 5 and Sonnet 4.6) as separate selections (#1981)

[UI] [UI] The "Working…" indicator now stays visible for the whole turn and rotates through a few different labels. (#2006)
[Bug fix] Members page now shows a clear "not available in single-user mode" message instead of a confusing auth error when running without accounts or OIDC. (#2013)
[UI / Bug fix] Global Policies settings page now appears correctly in single-user/header auth mode instead of showing a "no permission" error. (#2017)
[Feature] intent_gate policy now prompts for user approval (ASK) instead of hard-blocking (DENY) tool calls that don't match the session's original intent. (#2024)
[UI / Bug fix] Submitting the Codex goal dialog no longer shifts the footer buttons — the loading spinner replaces the button label in place instead of widening the button (#2032)
[UI / Feature] Add a UI font size setting in Appearance to scale the interface (#2040)
[Bug fix] /compact on a claude-sdk agent with a pinned Anthropic model no longer 500s — the compaction summarizer was routing bare claude-* ids to OpenAI instead of Anthropic. (#2043)
[UI / Feature] Set a custom UI font family in Settings → Appearance (type any installed font; blank = system default). (#2047)
[UI / Bug fix] Fix the Appearance font-size input so you can clear and retype a value instead of it clamping mid-edit (#2053)
[Bug fix] Native Claude sessions no longer get stuck showing "Stop" after switching models in the terminal with /model (#2082)
[UI / Feature] The sidebar "Search" now opens the command palette (⌘K) to search sessions by title and chat content, with a keyboard-shortcut hint on hover (#2086)

[Bug fix] Fixed OpenShell k8s managed sandboxes failing due to Landlock LSM denying /home/sandbox; changed home path to /sandbox (#2106)
[UI / Bug fix] The share dialog no longer overflows when a grantee's email is long — the name truncates and the domain stays visible. (#2108)
[Bug fix / Test/CI] Keep claude-native model, permission mode, and effort overrides stable across wrapped Claude Code restarts that preserve the settings sidecar. (#2116)
[Feature] Kubernetes sandbox runner Pods can now schedule on arm64 nodes: set sandbox.kubernetes.node_selector: {kubernetes.io/arch: arm64} (amd64 remains the default). (#2123)
[Feature / Test/CI] New official omnigent-server-kubernetes image ships the kubernetes sandbox provider SDK — the sandbox-runners overlay now works against published images, no custom build needed. (#2124)
[UI / Bug fix] codex-native sessions now show MCP server startup progress in the chat, name servers that failed or were cancelled, and Stop can abort a slow MCP startup (#2128)
[Bug fix] Host-spawned runners now inherit DATABRICKS_AUTH_STORAGE, so a runner authenticates against the same Databricks token store as the host (fixes a runner tunnel 401 when the store is selected via env var rather than ~/.databrickscfg). (#2132)

[UI / Feature] Sessions shared with you now live in a dedicated "Shared with me" sidebar tab (multi-user servers only) (#2156)
[Feature] Tightened conversations.title DB column to NOT NULL; untitled conversations are now stored as '' instead of NULL. (#2158)
[Feature / Test/CI] Add a performance-benchmark harness for HTTP user journeys, with a seeded corpus, a SQLite+Postgres backend matrix, and a nightly workflow (uv run dev/benchmarks/omnigent/run.py) (#2159)
[Bug fix] Sub-agent hermes sessions no longer wake their parent orchestrator before the turn's final answer is mirrored into the transcript (#2161)
[UI / Feature] Session search now shows a preview of the matching message so you can see why a session matched, with the search term highlighted (#2162)

[Bug fix] Fixed the Hermes pre_tool_call hook double-gating Omnigent relay tools, which parked a (#2220)
[UI / Chore] Redesigned Appearance settings: separate Mode and Color theme sections, app-preview Mode tiles, and a color-theme dropdown. (#2225)
[UI / Feature] Added: auto-routing decisions now show as a collapsible card (model pill, tier, rationale, expandable raw verdict) matching the SmartRoutingCard style (#2246)
[Bug fix] Sessions shared with you no longer appear under "My sessions" when they belong to a project — they stay under "Shared with me" (#2249)
[Test/CI] Doc-sync site PRs are now titled after the documentation change instead of the source PR number. (#2250)

[UI / Feature] A default base branch can be set in Settings › Git to auto-fill the base when naming a new worktree branch (#2267)
[Feature] omnigent debug logs tails runner, server, or CLI diagnostic logs; --session scopes runner logs to a specific session across relaunches (#2273)
[Bug fix] omni run --harness acp:<slug> now launches a configured ACP agent instead of failing on the colon in the synthesized agent name. (#2280)

[Bug fix] Default policies created via the API (POST /v1/policies) now take effect on sessions. (#2333)
[Feature] omnidev dev pods now get their own isolated config.yaml (seeded from ~/.omnigent/config.yaml), so server-config edits while testing in a pod no longer touch your real config (#2360)
