The relay's previous single-dir layout (~/.orca-remote/relay-v0.1.0/) let the deploy step rewrite relay.js in place while a daemon was still loaded in memory at the previous version. New clients then drove that stale daemon, surfacing as a reconnect loop (issue #1660 follow-up) and the field failure observed against an 8-day-old daemon on openclaw. Switch to a VS Code-style versioned layout where each (RELAY_VERSION + content-hash) bundle installs into its own directory and is never mutated after install. A v2 client's --connect socket path is rooted in relay-${v2-hash}/ and structurally cannot reach a v1 daemon's socket. Defense-in-depth: the daemon now reads exactly one Handshake-typed frame on each newly-accepted Unix socket before attaching the JSON-RPC dispatcher (mirrors VS Code's remoteExtensionHostAgentServer.ts:340). Mismatch closes the socket; the bridge exits with code 42; client maps that to a typed RelayVersionMismatchError and skips the relay-lost backoff loop instead of retrying through 6 attempts. Other deploy hardening: - atomic mkdir-based install lock with stale-lock recovery serialises concurrent first-installs of the same version - .install-complete sentinel distinguishes a finished install from a crashed-mid-install partial that should be retried - gcOldRelayVersions removes unreferenced sibling dirs (allowlist regex, skips locked or incomplete dirs, skips dirs with a live socket) - readLocalFullVersion fails fast on a missing/empty local .version rather than silently falling back to a path where a daemon from a different code generation may already be running Includes a cross-version isolation test that fails any future refactor which collapses the per-version layout back to a shared dir.

[New] Annotate AI Diff
Comment directly on AI-generated diffs.
Annotate any line in an AI-generated diff with your feedback, then send it back to the agent to revise. Keep the review loop tight — no copying line numbers, no context switching.
[New] Hot Swap Codex Accounts
Multiple Codex accounts? Switch in one click.
If you run multiple Codex accounts to get the best token deal, Orca lets you hot-swap between them instantly — no re-login, no config files. Just pick an account and keep building.
[New] Per Worktree Browser & Design Mode
See your app. Click any element. Drop it into the chat.
Orca ships with a built-in browser right inside your worktree. Preview your app as you build, then switch to Design Mode — click any UI element and it lands directly in your AI chat as context. No screenshots, no copy-pasting selectors. Just point at what you want to change and tell the agent what to do.
[New] Introducing the Orca CLI
Agent orchestration from your terminal.
Let your AI agent control your IDE. Use AI to add projects to your IDE, spin up worktrees, and update the current worktree's comment with meaningful progress checkpoints directly from the terminal. Ships with the Orca IDE (install under Settings).
