Insta-Summarize, Command Palette, Opus 4.6

Summarizing chats is now instant!

We've made several improvements to the command palette (⌘K). You can now create, merge, and manage PRs, jump to the next session needing attention, search sessions by message content, open settings tabs, and check for updates without leaving your keyboard. image

You can also now search within files (in edit mode) using ⌘F: image

We’ve fixed a bug in our virtualization library. Switching between workspaces should now be faster, and there should be less scroll jank.

We’ve made lots of improvements to our new experimental sidebar. Workspaces now show human-readable branch names, distinct icons for plan approval and user input states, running indicators, and workspace counts next to collapsed status groups. You can try it in Settings → Experimental → New sidebar. Let us know what you think!

Finally, Opus 4.6 is now generally available. No need to manually toggle it on.
