What’s new

An agent whose coding tool is too old for the newest model now runs the newest model that tool supports instead of failing every turn; a room note tells you when the tool needs updating.
The room note offers a button to run that tool's own updater.
An agent stuck because its tool is too old for the chosen model is no longer nudged to try again on every turn.
The first-run pointer arrows no longer appear for people who already have teams and rooms.

Default coordinators are named for the model they run: Aspect Falcon, Aspect Goose, Aspect Gorilla, Aspect Orca, Aspect Stag and Aspect Condor.
Every default coordinator now runs on the top model available to it, at low reasoning effort.
Choosing a coordinator that runs on this Mac, or on a model more than a step behind the latest, asks you to confirm first.
A default coordinator whose model or effort had drifted from the default is set back on launch; changes you made yourself are kept.
A message you were typing no longer disappears when the window is resized or you leave the room and come back.
A coordinator's message to a teammate in the same room no longer goes unanswered while that teammate is online.
The coordinator is no longer told a room has no board, or that an online teammate is offline, in its instructions.

On Teams, Recommend a team asks what you are working on and your lead proposes three casts to choose from — or you can still build your own.
Which cast is active is chosen from the Team box in the sidebar; the switcher inside a room is gone.
A half-typed message in the composer is kept when you switch rooms or open a card thread.
Updating Studio no longer shows the welcome page to accounts that already have teams on this Mac.

Milo joins the bench as Quick Coder — for small, well-specified changes turned around fast.
Kit and Cass no longer appear on the bench for new teams; teams that already have them are unchanged.
Sonnet 5 Thinking and Opus 5 Thinking are now available when you choose a model for a persona.

Signing back in on a new Mac with teams already saved in the cloud no longer replays the welcome page or first-run guided arrows.
Studio waits for your saved teams and personas to restore before treating you as a new user.
The dashboard opens correctly when your library is still loading at launch.

A welcome page now greets new accounts with what Studio is for and the path to a first reply, before the connect checklist.
Guided arrows now point at key first-run steps — deploying your team, adding from the bench, sending your first message — and step aside when you are already doing something else.
The team bench is now a table you can sort and group by function, provider, or readiness; opening a row shows the persona's full contract.
Studio now says "coding tool" instead of "CLI" in labels and help, matching the rest of the product.

The Steps column now advances from the board's cards — when every card for a step is done, that step is marked complete and the highlight moves on.
Choosing Steps from the board header now steers the coordinator on your next message the same way typing the slash name in chat does.

A board's Steps now guide the coordinator on every message you send while the board follows them, including which step it is on — not only the first message after you chose them.
The card count beside each step on the board now reflects cards filed for that step.

An agent that couldn’t start now says so in the room and explains what to do, instead of leaving a blank console and a message that never arrives.
An agent that named the wrong place in one of its requests is no longer locked out of its workspace for the rest of its session.

Confirmations, rename prompts, and delete warnings now use one Studio dialog that names the team or room you are acting on.
Settings, help and onboarding now use the same words throughout.
The waiting-questions and staffing-plan popovers fit their content instead of showing a scrollbar inside a half-empty box.
The get-to-your-first-reply guide no longer appears every time you open an established workspace.
Turning on your team from Usage now lists only the agents who are actually offline.

If your workspace is scheduled for deletion, a notice appears when you open Studio — owners can tap Restore workspace to cancel it.
After Reset everything with workspace deletion checked, you have seven days to sign back in and take it back; Studio now tells you that and offers the button.
Empty Journal, Rooms, and Search screens center their symbol and message in the pane instead of sitting under the header.
The date on the deletion notice now matches when the workspace will be removed.

Teams opens to your crews and what is running — create a team from the home page and edit it on the team page.
Recipes are now called Steps. A room can show a Steps checklist beside the board lanes, chosen from the board header.
On the team page, a bench lists personas you can add; drag members between bench and crew, or use each card's menu for lead, connection, and remove.
Moving a card between lanes plays the same arrival animation as adding a new card.
New guides walk you through deploying your first team and sending your first message until an agent replies.
Choosing Steps in a room no longer replays progress from earlier messages.
If arming Steps fails, your place in the checklist is kept when you try again.
Changing a member’s connection no longer discards other edits you made to the team.
Adding a card from the board with only a title now works.
