v1.1.11

Release notes for ADE v1.1.11 - May 4, 2026

v1.1.11 ships an Add Project flow, a built-in agent browser with a resizable Work sidebar, and a wave of PR-tab and Path-to-Merge fixes. The iOS companion comes along on the same TestFlight train as 1.1.10 — same marketing version, new build — to stay in sync with the desktop chat and PR contract changes.

Desktop

Projects and onboarding

A first-class entry point for creating, cloning, and publishing projects, available from the command palette and topbar.

• Add Project surface. A chooser sits in front of Create-local and Clone-from-GitHub flows, both reachable from the command palette and topbar. Successful create/clone lands the new project and opens it directly.
• Local create + GitHub clone. A new projectScaffoldService handles local scaffolding with rollback on partial failure, plus URL and “My repos” clone tabs backed by a debounced GitHub repo search.
• Publish to GitHub. Existing local projects can be published from a dedicated dialog: it creates the remote repo, configures origin, and handles the empty-repo + push-failure edge cases. Connect-GitHub is wired inline if no token is set.
• Welcome-screen wiring. GitHub and scaffold services run in a dormant mode for the no-project state so onboarding works before any project is opened.

Built-in browser and Work sidebar

ADE now hosts its own browser inside the chat surface, replacing the old right-edge floating panes with a resizable sidebar.

• Built-in browser. A new BuiltInBrowserService powers multi-tab navigation, screenshots, and CDP-backed element inspection. The chat panel uses Electron <webview> with strict scheme guards (file/blob/data/devtools rejected with a toast) and password fields stripped before they reach the agent.
• Resizable Work sidebar. Git, Files, iOS, AppControl, and Browser tools live in one resizable sidebar; the floating files workspace and right-edge floating pane were removed. Lane-aware launch and connect flows replace the older workspace-selection paths.
• Terminal links open in ADE. xterm now detects http(s) and localhost URLs in terminal output and routes them into the built-in browser instead of the system browser.
• Inspect-state hardening. Same-tab navigation, switchTab, and dispose paths all reset CDP overlay and selection state correctly so the “Inspecting” badge can no longer go out of sync with what clicks actually do.
• Drawer persistence. Work browser drawer state is preserved across panel transitions instead of resetting on each remount.

PRs tab and Path-to-Merge

PR convergence, badging, and composer behavior get a coordinated overhaul, and Path-to-Merge automation lands as a persistent, controllable pipeline.

• State-aware PR badges. Lane-scoped PR display falls back to merged/closed PRs when no open PR is found, with badge labels driven by formatPrBadgeLabel and selectLanePrTag. Branch-less lanes no longer claim a stray PR badge.
• Expandable issue rows. PrConvergencePanel issue rows now expand to show author, body, thread comment counts, and an updated-at timestamp; “show ignored” works in terminal-state PRs; manual-run round labels are capped at the configured maxRounds.
• Composer pending-input lock. Chat composer hard-locks while a blocking pending input is active, with a server-side gate that mirrors the lock so dropped/silent submits stop happening. Non-blocking pending inputs no longer block sends.
• Path-to-Merge automation. A persistent Path-to-Merge orchestrator drives PR loops with controllable pipeline settings, dedupes Actions check entries, and recovers from transient review blockers more cleanly.
• Lane PR refresh races. LanesPage PR-tag refresh is now request-id and project-root scoped so stale listAll() responses can no longer overwrite newer state.

Runtime, simulator, and platform

Targeted fixes around the iOS Simulator helpers, packaging, paste handling, and a handful of P1/P2 review findings.

• iOS Simulator stability. Refreshed simulator helpers, chat panel, and CLI guidance, including switchTab same-tab guards and an inspect-overlay desync fix that previously left the badge stuck after navigation.
• PTY resume scan bound. ptyService caps the resume-command scan window so long sessions can no longer block on a forever-running regex.
• Renderer CSP. frame-src is split out into a rendererCsp helper with a contract test so the built-in browser frame policy stays explicit and reviewable.
• Paste handling. Image paste into the chat composer no longer drops or duplicates frames in the new browser-aware compose path.
• Diff and lane git. Diff service hardening (with new tests), commit-timeline tweaks, and lane git-section updates.

iOS

Chat lock and PR contract

The mobile companion picks up the desktop’s pending-input gate and the new PR badge contract so it stays in step with the desktop on the same TestFlight train.

• Awaiting-input gate. WorkChatSessionView aligns with the desktop’s blocking pending-input contract — the composer locks while a blocking input is awaited and unlocks once it clears.
• PR detail overview. PrDetailOverviewTab and PrDetailScreen follow the new state-aware PR display, including merged-PR rendering and the updated badge labels.
• Lane detail. Lane components, git section, rebase banner, and lane-list parts pick up the lane PR-tag normalization changes shipped on desktop.

Work flow updates

Smaller surface alignment in the Work tab to track the desktop chat contract changes.

• Work session views. Destination, transcript, and timeline helpers update for the new chat session lifecycle — same data model, fewer divergent paths between desktop and iOS.
• Sync and database. SyncService, Database, and the bootstrap SQL pick up incremental fields needed for the desktop catalog and PR contract changes.
• TestFlight build. This release ships a new TestFlight build of marketing version 1.1.10 (no version bump on the App Store side) and is distributed to all non-empty internal tester groups.
