Agent Canvas 1.13.0

Released August 13, 2026. View the full release on GitHub.

Highlights

  • Context window usage meter and manual compaction — A new context-window usage meter, usage drawer, and manual compaction control let users monitor and manage token consumption in real time, preventing unexpected context overflow.
  • Client-side conversation archive — Users can archive conversations directly from the sidebar, keeping the active conversation list clean without permanently deleting work.
  • Inline markdown artifact previews — Markdown artifacts rendered in chat now show inline previews, reducing the need to open a separate viewer for common output formats.
  • Ready-for-dev issue readiness gate — A new readiness gate enforces type-specific criteria before issues are marked ready for development, improving workflow discipline.

Improvements and fixes

  • A postinstall message now explains how to start Agent Canvas after installation.
  • Agent-server telemetry is now correctly configured when launched from Canvas.
  • Overflow menus are now usable on touch devices, fixing a long-standing mobile interaction issue.
  • The sidebar “Load more” button now correctly discovers folders rather than expanding folder contents prematurely.
  • Chat input drag-resize is disabled when the input is not bottom-anchored, preventing unexpected layout shifts.
  • Non-MCP-installable automation integrations are now surfaced instead of being silently dropped.
  • A flaky ProgressEvent unhandled rejection in CI has been resolved.
  • Launcher services are spawned without an implicit shell, improving reliability across environments.
  • The Basic LLM provider list no longer truncates at 100 entries, ensuring all available providers are visible.
  • The context meter ring track is now drawn from the foreground color instead of a border token, fixing visual inconsistency.
  • Pending MSW callbacks are drained before jsdom teardown, eliminating a ProgressEvent ReferenceError in tests.
