Build 55

  • New: GPT-5.3 Codex Spark support. Added GPT-5.3 Codex Spark and improved default model prioritization.

  • New: Search plugin parity. Added first-class Perplexity and You.com search tool support.

  • New: Sidebar toggle shortcut. Added a quick sidebar toggle command with Cmd+Option+S.

  • New: Starter pack install flow. Improved onboarding with a clearer starter pack setup path.

  • Improved: Parallel chat streaming stability. Isolated streaming state per chat session to prevent cross-session interference.

  • Improved: Anthropic/Bedrock behavior. Better Claude thinking handling and cleaner Anthropic control behavior.

  • Improved: Workflow palette behavior. Active-screen behavior now works correctly while preserving per-screen restore.

  • Fixed: Voice recording/transcription UX. Polished compose recording overlay and transcription error presentation.

  • Fixed: Low-res App Icon. Fixed the issue with the low-res default app icon.

  • Fixed: Grok/xAI request reliability. Migrated xAI/Grok flows to the Responses tool path to avoid deprecated endpoint failures.

  • New: xAI native tools. Added xAI Web Search, X Search, and Code Execution tool wiring in chat transport and tool builders.

  • Improved: Tool execution rendering. Provider-executed tool calls now render more consistently, including xAI code-execution outputs and fallback detail views.

  • Improved: Provider error diagnostics. Error messages now include richer raw-response context and clearer guidance for deprecated xAI Live Search behavior.

  • Fixed: Settings sync edge cases. Hardened account/plugin settings sync with stricter canonical fetch checks, safer merge-upsert fallback paths, and duplicate-row intent preservation.

  • Fixed: Sidebar multi-select move action. Context-menu move operations now correctly apply to the current multi-selection and disable invalid destinations.
