What

The /fork command has been renamed to /branch for creating a branched copy of the current conversation. The old /fork name is preserved as an alias for backward compatibility.

Usage
/branch
Details
  • Creates a branch of the current conversation at the current point
  • All user-facing text updated: "Forked conversation" → "Branched conversation", "No conversation to fork" → "No conversation to branch"
  • /fork still works as an alias — no migration needed
  • Error messages updated accordingly: "Failed to branch conversation", "No messages to branch"
Evidence

Slash command definition (search for "Create a branch of the current conversation") — aliases include "fork" for backward compat

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
