Go to **Settings → Agents → Codex** and click **Continue with ChatGPT** to start using your Codex plan in Conductor.\nOther big improvements:\nThe PR view has a new layout. One card at the top shows the branch, review, checks, and merge status, with the description and activity below it.\nNew workspaces get descriptive branch names based on what you're working on. To turn this off, go to Settings → Git → Automatically rename new branches.\nYou can now steer Cursor chats while they run.\nDesktop tabs are available in every cloud workspace, with no experimental setting needed.\nCloud workspaces show their number (like W-123) in the top bar, workspace links, the All Workspaces list, and the command palette.\nImprovements\nIn the PR view, open the Review row to add unresolved comments to chat, or the Checks row to re-run or fix failed checks.\nSteer Cursor chats while they're running, in local and cloud workspaces.\nMerging a PR from Conductor now only merges the code that's in your workspace. If the PR on GitHub has changed, the merge is blocked and you get a link to merge on GitHub instead.\nPR comments edited on GitHub show \"edited\" with the edit time. If you'd already sent them to the agent or hidden them, they reappear as new.\nIn the PR view, checks and deployments waiting on an approval show a clock instead of looking pending.\nDeep links can include a branch parameter to start a new workspace from an existing branch.\nIn cloud workspaces, detected ports show which process is listening, like postgres or next dev.\nHover over a cloud workspace in the sidebar to see its repository.\nRight-click the Pinned section in the sidebar to create a new pinned workspace.\nHover over file names in the Git panel to see their full paths.\nRepository selectors are sorted alphabetically, and become searchable when you have five or more repositories.\nThe + menu in the composer highlights Add attachment and puts it closest to the button.\nIn cloud organizations, loadout changes sync across your devices.\nIn cloud organizations, the Recommended MCPs tab also lists MCPs you've already added, marked Installed.\nWhen you add a custom MCP server with OAuth, you can copy Conductor's OAuth callback URL to register it with the provider.\nThe toast for an MCP server that needs re-authentication shows the server's logo and name.\nRight-click a settings tab to copy a web link that opens Conductor to that page.\nCodex chats routed through Vercel AI Gateway use its dedicated Codex endpoint.\nCloud workspaces load and sync faster, file sync picks up workspace changes immediately, and images use less memory.\nAnimated workspace status marks in the sidebar use less CPU.\nFixes\nFixed high memory use that grew as you opened more chats.\nFixed slow startup and high memory use in organizations with many archived cloud workspaces.\nFixed the app freezing for several seconds when switching to a cloud workspace with many chats.\nFixed run scripts with lots of output, like a Rails server, hanging while the Conductor window was in the background.\nFixed the Open button in the Run pane disappearing after a lot of server output or after switching workspaces.\nFixed Codex tasks stopping on temporary rate-limit and model capacity errors after work had started.\nFixed Codex chats failing to start with a \"failed to load configuration\" error when your ChatGPT workspace restricts Codex's sandbox.\nCodex inline visualizations render in the chat instead of showing raw directive text.\nCodex model pickers no longer list audio, embedding, and legacy completion models when you use an API key, and the placeholder \"Test Model\" entries are gone from all model pickers.\nFixed sent queued messages appearing earlier in the chat, and messages briefly returning to the queue during attachment uploads or while background agents run.\nFixed the Reset chat dialog reappearing after you sent the next message.\nFixed a stacked PR's diff still including changes from the PR below it after that PR merged.\nFixed slow switching between stacked PRs and occasional stale diffs.\nFixed opening a workspace's merged PR showing a blank title, description, and activity.\nFixed deleted lines in the diff view not being selectable or copyable.\nFixed files marked as Viewed in the diff viewer resetting after restarting Conductor.\nFixed regenerated images, PDFs, and videos sometimes showing an older version.\nFixed a crash that kept a workspace from opening again after you opened a file from a chat.\nFixed clicking a conductor:// prompt, Linear, or async deep link in a chat message doing nothing.\nFixed copying a link or transcript from another chat tab's menu switching to that tab.\nFixed new local workspaces showing a random string as their name.\nFixed ⌘⇧N not focusing search when opening a new workspace.\nFixed a project filter chosen in a local organization hiding every workspace in a cloud organization's sidebar.\nFixed an empty gap building up in the status-grouped sidebar while archiving several workspaces.\nFixed the left sidebar button shifting when the sidebar is collapsed.\nFixed the settings sidebar scrollbar overlapping the selected item.\nFixed switching between agents in Settings → Agents briefly showing the previous agent's settings.\nFixed closing a zoomed image temporarily blocking clicks and scrolling.\nFixed inline command terminals so they sit flush with the composer and show one close button.\nRemoved the duplicate expand button from chat videos.\nImproved how the composer works with assistive tools.\nFixed cloud workspace files and changes becoming unavailable after the sandbox sleeps.\nFixed cloud workspaces showing incomplete snapshots while starting.\nFixed cloud workspace file sync sometimes silently stopping.\nFixed port forwarding in cloud workspaces getting stuck on \"Connecting\".\nOpen via SSH in Cursor and VS Code
