automationRuns is durable state: re-serialized (pretty-printed) and re-hashed (computeStateHash) over the whole payload on every ~1s debounced save, and each run can carry a 256KB output snapshot. Its only removal path was deleteAutomation (when the parent automation is deleted) — there was no count cap, age cutoff, or GC analogous to worktreeMeta's WORKTREE_META_GC_GRACE_MS. So for any user with a recurring automation, orca-data.json grew without bound and the synchronous main-thread stringify/hash cost climbed with it. createAutomationRun now prunes to the newest MAX_RETAINED_FINAL_AUTOMATION_RUNS_ PER_AUTOMATION (100) *final* runs per automation. In-flight runs (pending / dispatching / dispatched, and any future non-final status) are never evicted, so a late dispatch result never fails updateAutomationRun's by-id lookup. The prune runs only when a new run is appended — the exact moment growth would occur. Tests cover the pruning invariants (cap, newest-kept, ordering preserved, per-automation independence, non-final never evicted) and end-to-end that createAutomationRun bounds stored history and does not strand an in-flight run whose completion lands after many later runs.

Features
Also in the box:
- Quick open — Search across worktrees, files, agents, commands, and repo context without leaving your flow.
- Account switcher & usage tracking — See Claude and Codex usage and rate-limit resets, and hot-swap accounts without re-logging in.
- Rich repo previews — Preview Markdown, images, PDFs, and repo docs in the workspace.
- Computer Use — Let agents operate desktop apps and visible UI when a workflow needs real interaction.
- Notifications and unread state — Know when an agent finishes or needs attention, then mark threads unread to come back later.
- And many, many more — we ship daily, so this list is perpetually behind. The changelog is the real feature list.
