The app-server reports which process holds a stored session, and pushes a change when that process lets go of it, so a client can show a session open elsewhere as read-only
Rust CLI: Configure proxy and SSL certificate settings with /proxy-setup.
Rust CLI: The narrator reads each turn's summary aloud and shows a speaking status row that Esc or Ctrl+C stops.
Rust CLI: /plugins browses the session's plugins, and /reload-plugins re-pins them and reports what changed.
Rust CLI: Free-text answers to agent questions accept multiple lines, multi-line pastes, and click-to-place caret.
Rust CLI: In the /model and /thinking pickers, s applies the selection for the current session only, while Enter still saves it to your config.
Rust CLI: Picking a model immediately opens the thinking level picker for that model, and both are applied together (Esc cancels both); after a session-only model pick, the thinking level is session-only too.
nix run .#rustCli to launch the Rust terminal instead of the Python one
Rust CLI: /whoami shows the start of your API key, its scope, and its access scope.
Space toggles the focused checkbox in multi-select questions.
enable_background_processes = false stops the agent from starting background processes
enable_subagents = false takes subagents away from the agent on the default runtime.
Disable main input cursor blinking with cursor_blink = false or /config, keeping a steady caret in both Python and Rust terminals.
Document Library connector: search, list, open, and fetch documents from your Mistral document libraries directly in Vibe.
export.json records steps, the number of model calls the agent made
export.json lists the session's config issues, such as a skill it could not load, under warnings
vibe -p reads the prompt from --prompt-file or stdin, and --output-dir writes an export.json and the session journal on every exit.
vibe -p --time-limit SECONDS stops the run at a deadline; SIGTERM and Ctrl-C stop it the same way, and the session can be resumed.
Per-model top_p and max_output_tokens config settings.
Experimental experimental_enable_model_catalog config flag (default off) - groundwork for the upcoming model catalog, no visible effect yet.
New api_stream_idle_timeout setting (off by default) fails a model response that goes silent for that many seconds.
vibe -p --agent-socket sessions run background processes in their POSIX sandbox, as enable_background_processes says, instead of always turning them off
New title_prompt_id config setting to override the prompt used to generate session titles: built-in session_title or a custom .md file from ~/.vibe/prompts/ or .vibe/prompts/.
Changed
New sessions start their first turn faster, and long sessions open, load older messages and resume sooner.
/status shows token counts in a compact form (e.g. 1.23M) followed by the exact value, dimmed, with thousands separators.
The context usage indicator and subagent token counts round to three significant digits (e.g. 12.5k instead of 12k).
Rust CLI: Queue selection removes the highlighted prompt with Backspace or Ctrl+C instead of Backspace or Delete.
Rust CLI: Tool group headers count each kind of call (e.g. "Read 10 files, ran 3 commands"), a single visible entry is no longer folded into a group, and result borders line up under their toggle arrows, wrapped headers included.
The off thinking level now actually disables reasoning on models whose offered levels include it, instead of silently leaving the server's default in charge.
The default model's thinking levels are now off and high; a stored low pick resets to off and a stored medium pick resets to high.
The default model declares a 256k context window; auto-compaction now derives from it.
A stale pin to the removed local model now warns and falls back to the hosted default.
Rust CLI: In text inputs, Cmd+Left/Right, Home/End and Ctrl+A/E at a line edge move on to the previous line start or the next line end.
Rust CLI: Shortcut hints use the same wording everywhere, and j/k navigate every list.
Rust CLI: /config, /mcp, /plugins and the project picker search with /; Esc leaves the search, then clears it, then closes. /plugins now shows its search field under the title, like /mcp and /config.
Rust CLI: Every list marks the focused row with the same highlight bar, and a green `` marks the current value.
Rust CLI: Lists wrap at both ends and scroll back to their very top, Esc always goes back one level, and numbered options take their digit.
Your Mistral identity and plan now show in /whoami and the banner even when the active model isn't a Mistral model.
Rust CLI: Typing /, ! or & over a fully selected input switches to that mode, and so does pasting a /command or !command into an empty input.
Rust CLI: the startup banner hint now reads "You are using the new Vibe TUI. To switch back to the classic TUI, set the VIBE_CLI environment variable to python."
Stopping a background process now also stops what it started in the background, and returns only once all of it has exited
A background process now keeps running until everything it started in the background has exited, not just its shell
The Document Library connector is now gated behind the experimental_enable_document_library_connector config flag (off by default) while its tools stabilize.
vibe -p exits 1 on usage or config errors, 2 on infrastructure failures and 3 when a limit or a model refusal stopped the agent
vibe -p --max-turns now exits 3, not 1, when the agent reaches the turn limit; so do --max-tokens and --max-price, including when the budget ran out as the agent finished
Model requests retry HTTP 520.
Rust CLI: The welcome banner starts at the top left, with the conversation and what's new flowing below it while queued messages stay at the bottom.
Fixed
Browser sign-in now explains when your workspace can't be used and asks you to select another one, instead of showing a generic error.
Rust CLI: Ctrl+G opens the current input in $VISUAL / $EDITOR and loads the saved text back.
Rust CLI: A chat input selection no longer reappears after an approval, a question, or the subagent list takes focus.
Rust CLI: Text stays selectable and copyable while an approval, question, picker, or other bottom panel is open, including the transcript, the loading row, and the panel itself.
/reload-plugins now offers the skills of a plugin installed during the session, without a restart.
Rust CLI: Copying a selection no longer adds line breaks or indentation where long text wraps on screen.
Rust CLI: Copying wide characters such as CJK text no longer inserts a space after each one.
Rust CLI: Selecting or copying a wrapped or multi-line transcript row no longer picks up its hang indent.
Rust CLI: Long lines in an expanded thought now wrap inside its border and indent.
Rust CLI: Queue selection and edit controls replace the loading hints for as long as the mode lasts, instead of a notice that timed out or lingered.
Rust CLI: The loading hints no longer offer steering or queued-message cancellation when Enter or Ctrl+C would do something else.
Rust CLI: Long free-text answers to agent questions wrap instead of overflowing the question box.
Rust CLI: Answered questions show a check mark instead of an expand arrow that did nothing.
A corrupted MCP OAuth token in the keychain no longer crashes Vibe; the server just asks you to log in again
Tool calls with a very large result (e.g. reading a big file) keep their tool-specific header, marked as truncated, instead of showing as a generic tool call.
File paths in read, write, edit, and search headers are shown relative to the working directory or workspace root that contains them.
Rust CLI: Rewinding to a skill invocation reloads it in / mode with the caret at the end and that skill highlighted in the completion menu.
CI: fix Nix build step
Prompts sent by a scheduled loop now appear in the conversation, marked with the loop that fired them.
Scratchpad notes now display like file contents instead of a raw tool result dump.
Rust CLI: Copying a transcript selection keeps the blank lines and wrapped characters it shows, and drops the spacing between messages.
Rewinding to an earlier message no longer fails after the session was titled or renamed.
Rust CLI: /clear resets the context window display right away instead of keeping the previous conversation's usage until the next turn.
Rust CLI: Dead-key and IME previews show at the input caret instead of in the loader.
Rust CLI: Code blocks and edit diffs wrap long lines between words instead of splitting words, and continuation rows no longer start with a space.
Rust CLI: On terminal (ANSI) themes, code blocks are separated from the text around them by a blank row.
Rust CLI: Text with /, ! or & added before an existing message, or after leading spaces, is sent as a message instead of running a command, and stays one when rewound or edited in the queue.
Rust CLI: Backspace at the start of a /, ! or & input leaves the mode and keeps the text.
vibe -p no longer offers the cron tool, whose calls always failed in a headless session.
A model request that times out now shows a readable error instead of a blank one, and is recorded in the log.
A question or approval the agent asks while a steered message is waiting is no longer hidden, so the session no longer stalls on "Preparing a question".
Rust CLI: A long working directory is shortened with an ellipsis so the token counter stays visible in the bottom bar.
Closing a session no longer waits for its archived worktree to be deleted.
Smart approve asks less often for routine work, such as edits in a worktree, CI file changes and local commits.
Tool results with accents or non-Latin text now reach the model as written instead of as escape sequences.
Fix turns crashing with "Completed public history entry is frozen" when a backend keeps streaming reasoning or text after a tool call
Removed
The bundled Devstral (local) model
New --experimental-harness turns no longer re-state scratchpad notes into prompts, so they no longer add `` blocks to the transcript.
