Two kinds of byte in orca-data.json were provably redundant. Both are paid on every debounced save (full re-serialize) and every launch (full re-parse). 1. The renderer's host split handed one global-field template to EVERY host, so local's browserUrlHistory/workspaceDocHistory were copied verbatim into each non-local partition. That is a write-side regression undoing #18161's load-time drop: the load path removed the replicas, the next full snapshot write put them back. Non-local slices now get a template without the fields the merge only ever reads off 'local', and both the host write and the serializer strip the residue. 2. mergeWorktreeMetaForWrite materializes all ten linked* slots plus isArchived/isPinned on every metadata row, so a 1,200-workspace store carried ~534 KB of "field":null pairs across worktreeMeta and worktreeMetaByIdentity. The serializer omits slots still at their default and normalizeWorktreeLinkedItemMetadata re-fills them at load, so in-memory state is unchanged. Measured on a fixture sized like the reporting install (10 hosts, 1,200 metadata rows, 200 history entries): 1,445,276 -> 643,238 bytes per save (-55.5%), 164,250 -> 3,411 bytes structured-cloned per persistWorkspaceSessionByHost across 9 non-local hosts, launch JSON.parse 2.00 ms -> 1.37 ms.

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.
