* fix(agent): don't release an idle native agent while background tasks are running A turn's background tasks (Claude Code's run_in_background commands) outlive the turn: release_when_idle only checked for a running turn and open permission requests, so five minutes after the turn ended it stopped the agent process and orphaned whatever still ran, its result never reaching the conversation. Claude Code reports its live background tasks in stream-json mode: a system/background_tasks_changed event carries the full list on every change. The driver now translates it into an openidea_background_tasks session update (like openidea_retry), the task keeps the list, and the idle release waits while it isn't empty: it checks again after the usual delay, and when the last task is done its report voids the pending schedule and starts the delay over from then. A (re)started process starts with no tasks, so a stale list can never hold the agent up. Signed-off-by: Inf1mum <[email protected]> * feat(agents): show the agent's background tasks above the composer A grey bar above the composer lists what the agent runs in the background (shells, monitors), with how long each has been running and a Stop button per task. The task now carries the background tasks the agent reports, with when each was first seen, and clears them when the process ends. Stop asks Claude Code to end that one task through a new _openidea/stop_task request; the composer's Stop keeps ending only the turn (perTaskStopAffordance).

OpenIDEA brings the IntelliJ IDEA way of working — its keymap, its tool windows, its search-everything habits — to a native app with a Rust core.
Editor, code insight, debugger, Git, terminal, database and HTTP clients,
for 60+ languages. Builds for macOS, Windows and Linux. On Windows, if you'd
rather skip the installer, each release also ships a portable zip — unpack it
and run openidea.exe.
Benchmark
Opening freqtrade (Python, ~770 files) with warm caches, median of 5 runs:
| OpenIDEA | IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2.3 | |
|---|---|---|
| Window with the project | 0.9 s | 3.1 s |
| Ready (CPU settled) | 1.1 s | 13.2 s |
| Memory (USS, all processes) | 169 MB | 2011 MB |
| CPU time until ready | 2.4 s | 47.9 s |
| Idle CPU | 4 % of a core | 7 % of a core |
| Quit | 0.3 s | 5.9 s |
A release build of OpenIDEA from main and IDEA with default settings and plugins, on
Windows 11, 32-core AMD, 62 GB RAM.
IDEA analyses Python more deeply, so "ready" doesn't mean the same work on
both sides. Both are measured from the outside, the same way: see
perf/compare to run it on your machine and projects.
Plugins
Plugins add actions, completion, quick fixes, tool windows, custom editors, themes, file icons and languages. They run as sandboxed WebAssembly components; themes, icon themes and languages need no code at all.
Install them from Settings › Plugins, or start your own with
openidea-plugin new — see Writing OpenIDEA plugins and
the official plugins. The plugin API is still a preview.
