OpenNavo editorial Added to Homebrew
Adds extension APIs, profile-isolated memories, root-level agent conflict resolution, and new onboarding and task-mode options. Also includes extension additions and fixes for streaming, saves, Git commits, and task state.
AiderDesk 0.86.0 expands the Extension API with onToolsetCreated, getProviders, smartCompact, and getEstimatedTokens. Extensions can inspect or modify a run’s toolset, access configured provider profiles, and compact context or estimate tokens. Agent profiles can optionally keep isolated memories. Agent-assisted merge conflict resolution now also works at the project root, in addition to worktrees. Onboarding and the default for new tasks and projects now let users choose agent mode or code mode. Extension-provided tools appear in their own agent-selector section, which refreshes after extension changes.
The release adds Compaction Studio for controlled context compaction, Jev decision tools, and a DBX database client UI. It also adds a binary-file tool-result renderer and GPT-6 series models to OpenAI Codex. Other changes include ArrowUp editing of the previous message in an empty prompt and state resynchronization after socket reconnects. Fixes address a streaming crash, stale updated-file lists, non-atomic task and todo saves, commits involving staged deletions, todo-list expansion, and subagent token usage overwriting main-run context information.

Adds per-project skill controls, live task file watching, editor search, an LLM API provider, and extension message actions, alongside task, model, and bug-fix updates.
AiderDesk 0.85.0 adds per-project skill disabling and new skill frontmatter options: disable-model-invocation prevents an agent from invoking a skill, while user-invocable skills can be run when wanted. Built-in skill names are now suggested in / command completion. A task-directory watcher updates task files, worktree status, and completion suggestions during runs. The editor adds find-in-file shortcuts Ctrl+F and Cmd+F.
A built-in LLM API provider loads available models, pricing, and context information from an API key or LLMAPI_API_KEY. Extensions can add message dropdown actions through task-message-bar-menu; prompt images are also passed to custom extension commands. Other updates add /, archived-task palette actions, project-folder access from tabs, refreshed default provider models, and low reasoning effort for the Z.ai plan provider. The release also fixes streaming crashes from duplicate message IDs, branch-popup keys, deleted-file staging, partial commits, task eviction, a swallowed search shortcut, diff scrolling, and provider options leaking into task context. Release notes
OpenNavo editorial Added to Homebrew
Enables Git workflows for non-Git projects, virtualizes file trees and defers several loads, strengthens Git and worktree handling, adds OpenAI stateless requests for ZDR, and brings bulk MCP tool approval plus task, extension, and UI updates.
AiderDesk 0.84.0 automatically initializes Git for projects that are not repositories, making Git workflows available to them. Workspace file trees are virtualized, updated-file diffs load on demand, and background projects defer task loading until activation. Tooltips also render faster.
Git and worktree handling changes include blocking a switch to local mode when a worktree has uncommitted changes; creating a unique sibling branch when a task branch is already checked out in another worktree; preserving task branch names when a worktree is shared; and force-staging ignored files on retry. Freshly initialized repositories can show uncommitted diffs against the empty tree, including untracked files.
OpenAI’s new “Store Responses” setting supports stateless requests for organizations with Zero Data Retention (ZDR) requirements. MCP tools can be approved in bulk per server, and the Git branches dropdown adds keyboard navigation. Other updates include task usage tracking, automatic agent retries in specified no-message or reasoning-only cases, diff presentation, Markdown list rendering, and extension changes. The Task Scheduler extension adds one-time scheduling, and SearXNG Search uses the API directly. Electron is updated to 44.3.0.
