The 5s CONNECT_TIMEOUT_MS added in #1481 was a speculative band-aid for 'WS sometimes never fires onopen' — but in practice it was force-closing perfectly fine connections that hadn't completed by 5s (notably first-time QR pairing on iOS, where Local Network permission prompt blocks the WS open for several seconds). Worse, the force-close transitioned state to 'reconnecting' (not 'disconnected'), so waitForConnected() never rejected and sendRequest() hung. Combined with reconnect re-firing the timer, the result was an infinite 'Connecting…' loop with no surfaced error. Pair flows hit this hardest because they call connect() directly without the shared RpcClientProvider, so there's no UI state listener to even show 'reconnecting' to the user — just the spinner. Removing the timer entirely. The handshake-timeout (5s, post-onopen) still catches genuinely stuck handshakes. If we hit a real 'never fires onopen' case later, we can revisit with proper instrumentation rather than a guess at the symptom. Co-authored-by: Orca <help@stably.ai>

[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).
