Agent hooks have never worked from inside WSL: under default NAT networking, WSL's 127.0.0.1 is its own loopback, so every hook POST to the Windows listener dies silently, and hook configs were only ever written to the Windows home where WSL agents never see them. Transport: a hooks-only guest relay (src/relay/wsl-agent-hook-relay.ts) runs inside the distro, binds WSL loopback on the very port the clients were already given (host-issued token; EADDRINUSE falls back to :0 with endpoint-file re-coordination, which also covers mirrored networking), and forwards parsed envelopes over its own wsl.exe stdio into agentHookServer.ingestRemote — the same shape as the SSH relay. It exits when stdin closes so a freed Windows port can never be forwarded into a dead guest listener. Installation: the unchanged SSH remote hook installers run against an SFTP-shaped adapter whose primitives are home-scoped fs RPCs served by the relay, so all 14 managed agents' hooks land in the WSL home over the already-open channel with zero per-file wsl.exe spawns. Lifecycle: per-distro manager ensured from buildPtyHostEnv on every WSL PTY spawn (covers post-restart daemon reattach re-spawns), stale-bundle reinstall via exit 42, no-node-43 cooldown, bounded retry for wsl.exe 'Catastrophic failure (E_UNEXPECTED)', breadcrumbed failures. Zero per-client transport changes; listener stays Windows-loopback-only. Co-authored-by: Orca <help@stably.ai>

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.
