New Feature: Desktop Session Forking

What's Updated?

The desktop app now supports forking sessions from any message point, creating new conversation branches. This means you can:

• Try different directions from a key decision point
• Explore new ideas while preserving original conversation
• Compare effects of different approaches

How to Use?

In the desktop app:

1. Find the message you want to fork from
2. Right-click that message
3. Select Fork Session
4. New session starts from that message point, preserving previous context

Improvement: Ripgrep Search Follows Symlinks

Previous Issue

When using Grep tool to search code, if the project has symlinks pointing to other directories, files in those directories wouldn't be searched.

Common scenarios:

• Shared packages in monorepo
• Linked packages in node_modules
• Custom directory soft links

Current Behavior

OpenCode's ripgrep search now follows symlinks by default:

• ✅ Files in symlinked directories will be searched
• ✅ More complete search results
• ✅ No extra configuration needed

---

Other Improvements

Command Palette Fix

Previously in TUI, when using command palette, mouse hover might highlight wrong options. Now fixed, both mouse and keyboard operations respond correctly.

Prompt Input Autocomplete

Desktop prompt input box now supports:

• Mouse hover to preview autocomplete options
• Click to directly select autocomplete item

OpenAI Business Support

/connect command now fully supports OpenAI Business plan, resolving previous missing fields issue.

Project has symlinks	✅ Upgrade, more complete search
Using OpenAI Business	✅ Upgrade, /connect more stable
Everything works fine	Can wait for next time
