What's New

• Model picker no longer swaps your selected model when a provider is slow to load — auto-fallback now waits for the user's provider to actually settle instead of reacting to transient empty results.

• Cmd+F in chat now reliably scrolls to every match, including those inside virtualized turns that were previously skipped.

• Agent renames and deletes propagate to other windows within seconds instead of minutes.

• Fixes: Stop button clicks during agent creation are honored instead of being silently lost; delegation-group race that left coordinators stuck waiting on already-finished sub-agents; custom agent names preserved across subsequent renames; infinite render loop (effect_update_depth_exceeded) when opening some workspaces; hardened PR discovery and assorted changes panel bugs from the underlying git state refactor.

This is the big refactor we've been working on for the past 2 weeks, plus a new setup flow for new users.

Changes:

- Setup flow redesigned for a smoother first-run experience, with fixes for opencode-only setups.

- Agents are more resilient under memory pressure — they are no longer killed mid-response, even in background workspace tabs.

- Terminal titles are now sanitized to prevent credentials from leaking into the window title.

- Agent suggested prompts are back.

Fixes:

- Repeated identical messages are no longer silently dropped.

- User messages are preserved during concurrent saves.

- In-flight message queueing is more reliable.

- Chat messages merge correctly with on-disk content when reopening a chat.

- Delegated agent wake-up and subscription reliability improved.

- Spec and note updates now reactively reflect task changes.

- Dropdown crash from duplicate options resolved.

- Custom specialists stranded during a prior migration now recover correctly.

- Fixed a streaming hang when the "done" notification arrives before the stream closes.

We’ve switched Augment’s default model to Opus 4.7. And it’s now 50% off until April 30th. Try it in Intent, the Auggie CLI, or our IDE extensions. Existing threads won’t change unless you switch models!

Built for async workflows, CI/CD, and automation

Most models can generate code quickly. But in real workflows, things break down - plans drift, tool state gets lost, and work restarts halfway through.

In our testing, Opus 4.7 is noticeably better at staying on plan over longer horizons, adapting to changes, and finishing with verification instead of restarting mid-run.

The result:

• fewer tool-state failures
• fewer “re-derive the approach” turns
• more reliable execution in CI/CD and long-running tasks

It’s also a strong everyday model, with a more opinionated default—more likely to challenge assumptions and suggest better approaches.

You’ll see the biggest impact in Intent workflows, where agents execute work end-to-end. Opus 4.7 is 50% off until April 30.

New Features:
- Image Support: The view tool now supports displaying image files (PNG, JPG, GIF, WEBP).
- Context Stats: Added `auggie context stats` command to display context and token usage information.
- JSON Output: `auggie account status` now supports a `--json` flag for machine-readable output.
