Full changelog
Aura Update: Cleaner Cockpit, Safer Writes
This release focuses on making Aura easier to read while work is happening, plus a safety improvement to the edit engine.
Highlights
Cleaner workspace layout
The Workspace area has been polished with a clearer header, better section separation, and a more intentional file list. The old noisy file/name header treatment has been simplified so the project tree feels cleaner and easier to scan.
Better right-side scrolling
The Workspace tree, code viewer, and Worker Log now show usable scrollbars when content exceeds the visible area. Long file trees, long files, and long Worker output are easier to navigate without guessing where the scroll region is.
Worker Log header and status
The Worker Log now has its own header strip with a status indicator, making it easier to tell at a glance whether Aura is idle, live, or showing a receipt.
Dispatch button visibility
The Dispatch button on plan cards has been restyled as a real primary action. It now has stronger contrast, clearer text, and distinct enabled/disabled states so it no longer blends into the card chrome.
Safer edit matching
Aura’s fuzzy write matching has been hardened. Fuzzy matching is now diagnostic-only: Aura can still show nearby candidate lines when an edit misses, but fuzzy similarity is no longer allowed to write into the file. Exact and line-exact matches remain the write paths.
Small polish
- Cleaner section headers across the cockpit
- Improved Workspace header area with Close All placement
- Cleaner file tree presentation
- More obvious primary action styling
- Reduced redundant panel chrome
- Better visual separation in the Worker area
