When Claude Code loses its API connection or is refused, it retries on its own
for up to several minutes. The session showed only "Working…" meanwhile. It
now shows "API request failed, retrying in Ns (attempt 3/10)" with the error
in the tooltip, cleared by the agent's next output or the end of the turn.
Agents can run through native drivers or any ACP agent, speak ACP v1 or v2, and be installed from the ACP Registry. Tasks gain fork, in-place edit-and-rerun, steering and usage-limit handling where the agent supports them.
- Native Claude Code (`claude` stream-json) and Codex (`codex app-server`) drivers, each served to the task machinery as an in-process ACP shim, using the newest install on PATH.
- ACP v2 with v1 fallback, negotiated on initialize; per-agent capabilities (fork, rollback, steer) so the UI only shows supported actions; usage-limit errors put the task in a `limited` status with the reset time.
- Settings › Tools › Agents lists Registry agents (featured first) to install, update and remove; installed agents update when a project opens. "More agents…" in the provider picker opens it. Registry index and downloads are HTTPS-only, release archives are checked against their sha256, and entries without one show "No checksum provided" and ask for confirmation before installing. Package names from the registry can't be passed as options to npm/uv.

Run oxfmt once over the whole repository (formatting only, no logic changes) and add `pnpm format:check` to the frontend CI job so unformatted code no longer builds up. `.oxfmtrc.json` now skips the generated theme docs, test fixtures and code blocks inside Markdown.

* feat(agents): Show subagents as their own conversations
Agents that support ACP subagent sessions (Claude Code, Codex) now run each
subagent as a child session. Its tool calls and messages no longer mix into
the task's conversation: the parent shows a card per subagent with its state,
tool call count, latest step, task and result, and the card opens the
subagent's own conversation.
- Route session/update by session id; subagent settings and usage stay out
of the task.
- Subagent permission requests are answered in the task's conversation,
named after the subagent.
- Subagent conversations are saved with the task; a running subagent is
marked stopped after a restart.
- A running subagent can be stopped on its own.
* fix(agents): Save a subagent's state when it changes after the turn
Hard-coded UI text, titles and aria-labels in about 110 components (Git panels, hierarchy, pull requests, dialogs, settings, welcome) now go through tx; spliced fragments became whole sentences (fileCount, noneFoundLabel, hierarchyTitle) and pull request states use keyed messages. 225 zh entries added, stale fragment entries removed.
Also: tx used as a tag without interpolations (tx`No checks`) now looks the text up exactly instead of as a template, so it is translated like tx("No checks"); the text-catalog test checks such tags as plain literals. Check and test counts reuse the existing "{count} passed" / "{failed} failing" entries.

A local-checkout task shows the repository's current branch in its header, and
Changes compares against it; both follow branch switches. The header also shows
the time the agent has spent on the task's turns.
A usage update without a cost (Claude sends one for its rate limits) no longer
clears the session cost.
* feat(agents): Select, copy, quote and search the conversation
- Conversation text can be selected and copied.
- Selected text gets a Quote button that replies to it in the composer.
- Messages have Copy on hover; your own messages also have Edit and
Resend and Send Again.
- Code blocks are highlighted and have a Copy button.
- File paths in replies (`src/lib.rs:12`) open in the editor when the
file exists.
- Find in Conversation (⌘F / Ctrl+F) highlights every match and steps
through them, opening collapsed tool output.
- Jump to Bottom appears after scrolling up.
- Your messages show when they were sent and how long the agent took;
a running turn shows its elapsed time.
* feat(agents): Quote a selection from the context menu
* feat(agents): Drop Jump to Bottom from the conversation
* feat(agents): Drop the hover Copy button from agent messages
* fix(agents): Highlight only the find matches on screen
WebKit paints a highlight range inside a collapsed tool output over the
text next to it. Matches in collapsed output still count, and stepping
to one expands it.
* fix(agents): Repaint find highlights as the search changes
WebKit doesn't repaint where a replaced highlight object was, so matches
of an earlier search stayed painted; each highlight is now one object
changed in place.
The new-task composer only offered the slash commands the agent sent in its last session, stored once globally, so a project that hadn't run a session (or whose last session ran elsewhere) showed none of its skills; matching was substring-only, so `/trig` didn't find `/triage` either.
Offered commands are now remembered per project root. For Claude Code, skills (`.claude/skills/*/SKILL.md`) and commands (`.claude/commands/**/*.md`) are also discovered on disk, from the working directory up to home plus `~/.claude`, and merged with the agent's list (agent entries win). New `agent_commands` IPC serves the home composer (project root) and session composer (the task's cwd). Matching ranks prefix (also after `plugin:`), then substring, then subsequence. Picking a completion inserts `/name ` and the prompt is sent unchanged.
Not covered: a new worktree of a project that gitignores `.claude/` doesn't contain the project's skills.

- Enter that commits an input-method candidate no longer sends the message.
- The composer turns off autocorrect, autocapitalisation and spellcheck, which
popped up correction bubbles over prompts.
- The provider icon in the task header sits inline with the details instead of
on its own line above them.
## What
An Agents feature: hand a task to a coding agent and follow it from the IDE. Agents speak the [Agent Client Protocol](https://agentclientprotocol.com). Built in: Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, OpenCode, Qwen Code, Kimi CLI, Goose, Auggie, Kiro, Mistral Vibe. You can add your own in `<config>/agents/<id>.toml` (`name`, `command`, `args`, `[env]`). An agent whose command isn't on `PATH` is listed under "Not installed".
- **New Task page.** An editor page with a prompt box. You pick the agent, model, mode and thinking effort, and whether it runs in a new worktree (from a chosen branch) or in the checkout.
- **Agents tool window.** Tasks are grouped by what they need: Needs Input, Failed, Running, Ready to Review, Archived. It also shows a stripe badge, a status bar item and notifications.
- **Session tab.**
- The conversation: Markdown, thinking, tool calls with diff stats, the plan.
- Permission requests appear as an editor banner.
- The changed files are compared against the task's base commit and open in the diff viewer.
- A context-usage meter.
- **Composer.**
- `@` references files from the project index. A referenced file's text is sent when the agent accepts embedded context, otherwise a `resource_link`.
- `/` lists the agent's commands; ↑/↓ recall earlier messages.
- Images can be pasted, dropped or picked; Shift+Tab cycles the mode.
- While the agent works, Enter queues the message and ⌘↵ interrupts the turn and sends it now. Queued messages can be sent now, edited or removed.
- **Send to Agent.** In the editor and Project view context menus. It adds `@file:10-20` references to the message you typed last.
- Landing the work is left to the existing Git features: the worktree is a normal branch.
## How
- **`crates/ide-agent`**: one ACP agent process per task, running in the task's directory.
- It folds `session/update` into a timeline and answers `session/request_permission`.
- It tracks the session's settings: `configOptions`, falling back to the older `modes` / `models` fields. The user's choices are applied again on every new or reloaded session.
- Tasks are saved as JSON per task. Sessions resume with `session/load` without duplicating history, and old task files are upgraded when read.
- **`ide-jsonrpc`**: adds newline-delimited framing (ACP) next to Content-Length (LSP).
- **`ide-vcs`**: adds `numstat_with_worktree` for the changes list.
- **Editor**:
- The Switcher (⌃⇥) lists every open editor, as IDEA does, not just files.
- `EditorKindContribution.restorable` lets a kind's tabs be saved with the editor session, so agent tabs survive reloads.
- **UI**: `Select` popups now size to fit short option details (they used to cut them off).
## Testing
- `cargo test -p ide-agent` (14 tests). They use an in-memory ACP agent and cover permissions, restart with `session/load`, settings, the queue with send-now and stop, and prompt blocks.
- There is also an ignored end-to-end test against the real Claude Code adapter: `OPENIDEA_AGENT_E2E=1 cargo test -p ide-agent real_claude -- --ignored`.
- `pnpm vitest run`: 2052 tests.
- `cargo clippy -p ide-agent -p openidea --all-targets -- -D warnings` and typecheck are clean.
- Driven in the running app with Claude Code:
- A task in a worktree, with permission answers, changes listed and the diff opened.
- A follow-up after restarting the IDE.
- `@` reference with embedded content, `/` commands, Shift+Tab mode changes.
- A queued message and send-now, an image prompt, Send to Agent from a selection.
- The Switcher and restored tabs after a reload.
Not covered yet: only Claude Code was driven end to end. The other agents go through the same ACP path but weren't run here.
Merged on the maintainer's go-ahead. Merge with main: kept both sides in Cargo.toml (ide-agent + ide-clipboard), the feature registry (agents + vim) and zh.json (no duplicate keys). After the merge: typecheck clean, full vitest 268 files / 2247 tests passed, ide-agent/ide-jsonrpc/ide-vcs 144 passed, bindings unchanged after regeneration.
