Changelog

​

New

• GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna: OpenAI’s new gpt-6-sol and gpt-6-luna are in the OpenAI provider, the model pickers and the cost tables, with the Codex 272K context limit applied. Defaults and routing are unchanged; pick them per role. (#4234)
• The Agents page opens on a Live view: running and in-pipeline agents are grouped into Needs you, Live and Waiting, each with one reason, in resizable panes with a collapsible preview and a new set of agent state colors. (#4216)
• Start a bare conversation from the Command Deck with the “No context” checkbox: no Overdeck-injected context and a faster spawn. (#4187)
• Pull requests are linked to conversations by branch, so a conversation shows the PR it produced. (#4067)
• Subagents take direct input from their own composer and show a live working indicator. (#3788)
• A project row shows the progress of a pan reload deploy while it builds and restarts. (#4094)
• Conversations and pan handoff run through the terminal backend, so they live in Herdr panes like every other agent. (#4104)

​

Improved

• Merge train restored: approved, green, mergeable PRs that opted into auto-merge are scheduled and merged on the merge-train tick again, and pan merge cancel uses the merge-train routes. (#4066, #4111)
• Faster CLI startup: pan loads each command’s code only when that command runs, so pan --version drops from about 560 ms to 180 ms. (#4205)
• The Command Deck issue tree shows a real state badge instead of “Allocated”, one status signal per row, and each resource once as an icon cluster. (#4218)
• Board routes no longer wait on gh pr list or per-agent derivation, so the parked and auto-merge views load quickly. (#4091)
• An issue that was closed out renders as shipped, with its history, instead of as never started. (#4078)
• The status-bar emergency stop shows what it stopped. (#4125)
• The conversation feed shows ACP agents’ thinking, prompt failures and stalled turns as their own rows. (#4142, #4141, #4152)
• Skills, CLI docs and agent-facing messages name only pan verbs that exist after the Cut. (#4143, #4158)
• pan doctor flags a stale pan sync source checkout, and pan sync prunes git hooks that were deleted upstream. (#4148, #4161)
• Dependency security updates: an in-range refresh with security overrides clears most bun audit advisories, the desktop build moves to electron-builder 26 to clear a critical tar advisory, and the pinned CLIProxyAPI moves to v7.3.16. (#4202, #4214, #4159)
• Internal cleanup: the remaining hardcoded model fallbacks are gone (an unset model now resolves through role routing), and dead sub-roles, stores and pan inspect leftovers are removed. (#4164, #4170, #4080)

​

Fixed

• Planning hand-off guardrails: a planning auto-handoff acknowledges advisory guardrails, and a hand-off the guardrails refuse is retried instead of dropped. (#4135, #4177)
• A “troubled” agent can be cleared again: pan untroubled <id> is back, and pan start --force also clears the gate. (#4228)
• Herdr agents show up everywhere: pan status, the agent output API, god view liveness, skills and attach hints now read the Herdr backend, and Herdr issue workspaces are found again after a restore. (#4103, #4089, #4093, #4072, #4099)
• Stopping an agent or reaping an idle one closes its Herdr panes, and finished review and one-shot role runs are reaped on Herdr. (#4076, #4162, #4175)
• Only Overdeck’s own agent panes count toward the work-agent limit. (#4207)
• Review synthesis is re-dispatched when every lane reported but the parent died, and pausing an issue also holds its review convoy. (#4153, #4150)
• The Request review menu’s Full, Quick and None choice applies to the run it starts. (#4120)
• Repeated identical UAT failures escalate once instead of looping. (#4063)
• An idle agent resumes after “Connection lost mid-response”. (#4178)
• An unfinished workspace setup resumes instead of starting the agent inside it, and every Claude Code launch is pre-trusted before it starts. (#4176, #4163, #4144)
• Workspace teardown removes its Docker Compose networks, and orphaned workspace networks are swept. (#4181)
• pan reload carries the running dashboard’s boot gates. (#4179)
• The “Reconnecting” banner clears after a restart, and the sidebar refetches projects and conversations on reconnect. (#4075, #4082)
• Conversation search skips deleted transcripts, recovers from watcher errors, and opens hits from unregistered and subagent conversations. (#4157, #4194, #4087)
• A transient pipeline-membership failure is retried instead of latching an error banner. (#4092, #4190)
• Keystrokes typed on /projects/new before the backend settles are kept. (#4147)
• Merged strikes clean up their pane, worktree and branch. (#4070)
• Every GitHub App API request has a timeout. (#4060)
• JSONL transcripts outside vendor cleanup roots are preserved. (#3817)

​

New

• Agents directory at /agents: a tree of local, remote and project agents with a list and a conversation, issue and PR context pane. Agents launched by other tools appear there too. (#4022, #4038)
• pan worker run | wait | report | list: delegate work to a registered, issue-linked worker agent that reports back. (#4027)
• Attach the native Codex or OpenCode terminal UI to a running conversation. (#4028, #4025)
• The Flywheel page is back, derived from live data instead of a stored run record. (#3999)

​

Improved

• One merge gate. Every merge path (the merge-ready set, the dashboard Merge button, auto-merge, the merge train and the per-project queue) asks the same question. A CI-mode project needs its CI test job to succeed on the PR head, and a failed UAT verdict for the current head blocks merge until a later pass. (#4040)
• Review and UAT verdict markers in PR comments count only from the repository’s owners, members and collaborators, or from Overdeck’s own identity. (#4040)
• pan handoff, the memory governor, pan start --fresh and stuck-agent force kill stop agents through the terminal backend, closing their Herdr panes. (#4048)
• Approving a merge after origin/main moved returns a clear 409 with both SHAs and recovery steps. (#4041)
• Internal cleanup: the Effect façade layer was cut back to plain Promise and synchronous functions. Some @overdeck/core exports were removed or renamed; the full list is in CHANGELOG.md. (#4006, #4057)

​

Fixed

• A failed UAT is relayed to the work agent again. (#4033)
• The stuck pause holds, and repeated verdict feedback is sent once. (#4039)
• Background subagents keep running until they finish. (#4054)
• The question dialog resets its answer for each new question. (#4058)
• Conversation lifecycle events are attributed to the right launch and row. (#4005)
• Planning, resume and recovery relaunches close the review gaps left by the Herdr move. (#4018)
• Flywheel’s in-flight list excludes merged and closed issues. (#4004)
• Plan homes with a legacy .pan/ gitignore rule are repaired. (#3998)
• Desktop builds ship again. (#3997)

​

The Cut

• Herdr is the default terminal backend. pan install, pan sync, pan up and pan doctor install and check Herdr for you. tmux is still supported through terminal.backend: tmux. See Terminal backend. (#3995)
• Planning artifacts live in your repo. Drafts, specs, continues, orders and the backlog sequence are committed under .pan/ in the project (or its plan home), not in a separate state worktree. pan admin migrate-plan-home <project> copies open issues’ artifacts across.
• Merge readiness comes from the PR. It is PR approvals, green checks and forge mergeability. Review verdicts are PR reviews, posted by the GitHub App.
• Retired commands. pan approve becomes gh pr review --approve or the dashboard Merge button, pan review pending becomes gh pr list, and pan inspect, pan reset-to-planned, pan unstick, pan review resync/reset and pan copy-config are gone because there is no stored state left for them to act on.
• Simpler background supervisor. The patrol loop is now four routines: nudge stuck work, nudge on API errors, reconcile liveness, and reap closed issues.

​

New

• Each issue keeps an append-only pipeline journal that pan show prints, and the work agent is told when verification passes instead of polling. (a4fb7a4)
• Tests run once per push on CI, plus the touched tests locally, instead of the full suite on the host. (#3993)
• Claude Opus 5.5 support across launch, routing, model pickers and cost reporting. (#3985)
• A Conversations scope in the Ctrl-K command palette. (#3933)
• The pan-open-threads skill collects your unfinished threads across conversations into one checkable page. (d35b93e)

​

Improved

• Dashboard menus and popovers share one style, keyboard navigation, positioning and focus handling. (#3945)
• The backlog page is one ordered list without the Now, Next, Later and Someday bands, and it loads in a fraction of the time. (7110e02, #3978)
• Transcripts stay findable: each session records its transcript path when it starts, and closing an issue keeps agent state and transcripts. (#3976, #3951, #3979)
• Strikes open a PR for you to merge. (#3987)

​

Fixed

• Stopping an agent closes its Herdr pane. (#3989)
• OpenCode conversations show their saved history, start and resume on Herdr, and recover from stalled permission prompts. (#3986, #3991, #3970)
• Merge-train batches assemble again, fail loudly, and stop after three consecutive failures. (#3972)
• The command palette shows a search error instead of “No results” when the request fails. (#3980)
• A handed-off agent can resume its saved session. (e35d03e)
