Rexa v0.6.0

Agents

  • Agents can drive a browser tab of their own, opened beside their terminal and linked to it.
  • The Rexa box in a browser tab sends notes to the linked agent and streams its replies.
  • Card status settles correctly on Esc, denied tools, subagents and API errors; Claude background tasks no longer pin a card at working.
  • rexa <agent> setup installs, checks and removes an agent's hooks, session context and skills.
  • Shared Rexa skills ship with agents; Claude loads them as /rexa:browser.
  • Agent cards are named the same way everywhere.
  • Debug submenu on a console copies terminal, session and card ids.

Language servers

  • Pick a toolchain per server root: TypeScript, Python, Node, Rust or Go. A pin in .rexa/config.json or the lsp.toolchains setting overrides it.
  • TypeScript 7 runs natively, from the project or a bundled copy.
  • Terminals, run actions and agents get the active Python venv and pinned Node first on PATH.
  • Restart, stop, start and trace each server from the status popup, the palette or rexa lsp.
  • Servers of the same language group together in the popup.
  • Status bar shows error and warning counts; click for a popup of every problem by file.
  • Problems tab (cmd-shift-m), Problems palette screen, and f8 / shift-f8 to step through problems.

Browser

  • Find bar, page edit keys, and sending a note to an agent.
  • Page cursor shows correctly; the box has a sensible default height and the header collapses.
  • Menus and popups draw over the page.

Git and pull requests

  • Changes list as a list, tree or grouped by folder.
  • Compare face next to Changes and History, based on the checkout's pull request.
  • File panel beside commit and review diffs.
  • Review a pull request inline from its Changes diff; comments and merges update at once.
  • A pull request follows the branch that is checked out.

Comments

  • enter saves a comment, shift-enter breaks a line, cmd-l sends.
  • Comment on Mermaid nodes, edges and subgraphs.
  • Dropping a comment onto an agent sends it.
  • Reveal lands on the comment in diffs and markdown.
  • Comment marks land on the selected characters; saving releases the selection.
  • Trash button in the box deletes the comment.

Mermaid

  • Open diagrams fullscreen, pinch to zoom.
  • Layout follows Mermaid's own.

Editor

  • Syntax highlighting for Dockerfile, git files, Vue, Svelte, Kotlin, Dart, Prisma, Nix and .env.
  • Open editor and markdown tabs reload when files change on disk, keeping selection, scroll and undo history.
  • No hover popup over inline bands.
  • Markdown copies selections as plain text.

Files

  • Ignored files are muted in the tree; nested .gitignore files apply.
  • Quick-open keeps each worktree's file index between uses.
  • Terminal paths search, reveal and open with fresh answers.
  • A leading / stays query text in files mode.

Terminal

  • Links keep a hard-broken line from joining a styled row.
  • A closed shell ends with SIGHUP.
  • Shells no longer inherit cargo run or agent environment variables.

Interface

  • Bottom panel shows the focus marker, takes focus and closes with cmd-w.
  • Palette draws inside the window and returns focus when it closes.
  • Clicking a tab focuses its content.
  • Browser, Problems and Git graph tabs have their own icons.
  • Focus marker redraws when focus moves.
  • Agent card titles ellipsize in the sidebar.
  • Reset text size shows the default; default size is 13.5.
  • Run actions are deprecated; the run button is a split button.

Breaking

  • Project extensions (.rexa/extensions) are removed.
  • .rexa/config.json keeps only actions.
  • The bundled tasks extension is removed.

Internal

  • Moved to gpui-pre 0.3.6 and gpui-base 0.6.6 with gpui from the deltaqdev/gpui fork; gpui-component dropped.
  • Shell owns window layout; Worktree owns its panes and runs. Features no longer hold a Rexa handle (update_later removed). Convention tests guard the rule.
  • Panels build from their worktree; palette openers moved to their features.
  • Agent card status is decided by adapters; card state is flat with setters. All adapters ported.
  • New rexa-transcript crate; agent box replies stream.
  • Extension SDK: own decoder, trimmed utils, main.ts blueprint enforced by test.
  • Control API endpoint with bearer token and terminal screen text.
  • Ephemeral instance dirs are marked; runtime.json is owner-only.
  • Recap replaced by pane titles; old shell helpers split into ui/strip and ui/list.
  • CI runs on Blacksmith; stray Python bytecode cache removed.
  • new-architecture.md replaces the refactor docs.
