Unclear It is not clear what each change does for a user or whether any of them is switched on.

What

Several small internal changes land together:

  • Compaction, which shrinks a long conversation into a summary, now records which model it uses while it is pending.
  • Changes to the effort level, meaning how hard the model works on a reply, are now marked as coming from a nudge.
  • Remote sessions now keep track of whether the remote worker has reported that it is gone, starting from no.
  • Session information gains an entry for carrying scheduled tasks forward.
  • A teammate or agent task can now show as working in one case where it used to show as declined or failed.
Why

Each of these is a single small change. On its own none of them changes anything you can see or do yet.
