In this release

​
Agent chat pop-ups

When an agent chat you started finishes, asks you a question, or waits for your approval, a pop-up appears at the bottom left of every tab you have open, with an Open chat button. Pop-ups stay until you dismiss or open them. Several stack under a count and expand when you hover, and Clear all dismisses them in every tab. A question still unanswered after about a minute also lands in your inbox, and that row is marked done once you reply. Mute pop-ups for the rest of a tab’s session or turn them off from the pop-up’s menu. Turn them back on with Show pop-ups under Settings → Preferences → Notifications.

​
Automation runs collect their changes on one branch

Scheduled and event-triggered runs of an automation now add their changes to a single branch named after it, such as Automation: Run test, instead of opening a new branch every run. A new branch starts once that one is merged or closed. A script run that changes nothing opens no branch, and each run still appears in Activity. To keep a branch per run, turn on New branch for every run in the automation’s settings. Each run works only on its one branch, so an agent run can no longer open or switch to other branches. Upgrade note. Python scripts can no longer create branches. A script that calls tools.createBranches, including in a triggered run, now fails with an error. Remove the call, because the run’s writes already land on its branch.

​
Rerun GitLab automations from merge request comments

Mention @flow in a merge request comment to rerun your GitLab automations on that merge request, as @flow pull request comments already do on GitHub. Flow posts its result as a merge request comment and ignores comments it wrote itself. Upgrade note. Enable Comments on each GitLab project webhook alongside Merge request events.

Improvements & Fixes

​
Agent

  • AI provider incident notice. When an AI vendor has an incident, the chat panel shows a dismissible banner before you send a message. It names the affected model family and suggests another family where your organization offers one. Failed messages during an incident now say the provider is at fault.

​
Automations

  • Simpler activity threads. A thread opens on the automation run itself, showing the merge request or pull request, its author, and the triggering action. The branch a run created or wrote to appears beneath it, with the run’s changes underneath.
  • Large runs open quickly. A run’s field updates on a branch collapse into one “Updated N items” card, with a count per item type.
  • Clearer run status. Run chips in Activity read “Completed · Fail” or “Completed · Pass”. “Run failed” now means only that the run stopped with an error.
  • Sharing a run’s chat. The Share button on an automation run’s conversation is removed while the feature is reworked.

​
Branching

  • Update from parent. Updating a branch with many baselines, comments, or Activity entries is faster. Updates of large branch trees no longer slow down as they work through sub-branches.
  • Moving changed items to a new branch. Moves can be prepared from a restored project before its first new edit, without rejecting existing changes.

​
Import and Export

  • Import location. Selecting an item in the navigation pane links spreadsheet imports under it by default and preselects it as the parent for ReqIF imports. Use Import here from the item’s menu to start a spreadsheet import there, or turn off the location link when the file defines its own relationships.

​
Integrations

  • GitLab base URL. Settings → Integrations → GitLab shows the host Flow connects to as read-only text, with a Change button for self-hosted servers. Entering your deployment’s default host is no longer refused as an unapproved server.
  • Search deleted items. Find deleted items by name across the full list, including later pages, then restore them from the results.

​
Settings

  • Settings shortcut. Press Command+, to open the current project’s Preferences, and press it again to return to your previous view. The shortcut also works while typing in a text field.
