Kelvin Amoaba f6f5eb6aa3 feat(settings): add a Workspace Cleanup settings page with rules, run now and activity (#42039)
* feat(settings): add Workspace Cleanup settings page

Adds a Settings > Workspace Cleanup page for the host that owns the repos:
status with Clean up now, the rule switches, the ignored-files protection
and an Activity list of past runs. Turning on a delete rule that matches
workspaces right now asks first; Keep pins a workspace.

The page refreshes when the host's runner finishes a run: desktop main now
forwards workspaceCleanupRunFinished to its window, and remote hosts' event
is no longer dropped by the client event allowlist.

* feat(settings): confirm any cleanup rule change that would delete workspaces now

Lowering the inactive days or turning off the ignored-files protection makes
the runner delete within seconds too, so those changes get the same confirm
as turning a rule on.

* fix(settings): serialize cleanup rule changes and guard the confirm

One rule change at a time, built from the host's rules as they are when it
is saved; Esc or the close button can no longer abandon a confirm that is
already saving. Local save failures surface, a host whose rules cannot be
read says so with a retry, and the page follows project rules that keep
the runner on.

* fix(settings): keep cleanup changes bound to fresh rules and this page

A change re-reads the host's rules when it is confirmed, a change still
previewing when the page closes is dropped, Keep locks while saving, and
each preview is kept with the rules it evaluated. The page is hidden in a
paired browser, whose settings are not the host's.

* refactor(settings): reuse existing helpers in the Workspace Cleanup page

One row key helper, useMountedRef, SettingsSwitchRow and the shared
runtime target builder; only the preview of rules about to be saved is
kept as the page's matches, and the report waits for the rules.

* chore(i18n): protect the cleanup confirm's copy

* fix(settings): re-check the cleanup confirm when the rules moved meanwhile

If another client changed the rules while the confirm was open, preview
again and list any workspace the dialog had not shown before saving.

* fix(settings): preview again on every cleanup confirm

A workspace can age past a rule while the confirm is open, so the confirm
always checks again and lists anything new before saving.

* fix(settings): drop a confirmed cleanup change if the page closed while pinning

* feat(workspace-cleanup): keep PR number and ignored file names on cleanup rows

Run and preview rows now carry the merged PR number and up to 3 ignored
file names the evidence already read, so the page can say 'Merged · #4182'
and 'Ignored files · .env'. No new Git reads; older saved runs lack them.

* fix(settings): say when a run's saved receipt lists fewer kept workspaces

* fix(workspace-cleanup): import at-risk local files from its new home

* perf(workspace-cleanup): share in-flight previews and stop re-scanning confirmed rules

The host shares one evaluation between previews of the same rules, so
reopened pages and several clients no longer stack full scans. The page
keeps a would-be rules preview out of its matches until those rules are
saved, then adopts it, and reuses its own preview for the current rules.

The AI Orchestrator for 100x builders.
Run Claude Code, Codex, and any other coding agent in parallel, each in its own worktree. Chat or terminal, on your laptop or in the cloud, with diffs, a browser, and a CLI in one app.

Download Orca

Orca desktop app with a coordinator agent running worker agents in parallel workspaces, and the Orca mobile app in the corner

Features

Chat or Terminal

Run any agent in Chat UI or as the raw CLI, and move a conversation between the two without losing context.

Docs →

The same agent conversation in Chat UI and in the terminal, side by side

Orchestrate Agents

Hand a big task to one agent. It splits the work, starts worker agents in their own workspaces, and brings their results back to you.

Docs →

A coordinator agent splitting a task between two worker agents and reporting their results

Run Anywhere

Pair a Remote Orca Server, work on any SSH host, or give a worktree its own cloud VM. Your agents keep running when your laptop sleeps.

Docs →

Choosing which machine a new worktree runs on, from this computer to an SSH host or a per-workspace environment

Mobile App

Pair Orca with the mobile app to get pinged when an agent needs you, reply in chat, and keep work moving on any of your machines when you are away from your desk.

Review AI Output

Review diffs, leave notes on exact changed lines, and send focused feedback back to an agent.

Docs →

Git Integration

Draft commit messages and pull requests from the diff, then send failing checks or PR review comments back to an agent to fix.

Parallel Worktrees

Quickly split tasks into isolated environments, so multiple agents can work side by side without interfering with each other.

Orca CLI

Anything you can do in Orca, your agents can do too: create worktrees, start workers, drive the browser and desktop apps, and schedule automations, all from the command line.

Split Anything

Put agents, terminals, browsers, and diffs side by side in split panes shaped to the task.

Dragging tabs into split panes with an agent, browser, terminal, and diff

Also in the box:

  • Drag Files to Agents: drag files from the explorer, or images from your desktop, straight into an agent's prompt.
  • Jump Anywhere: one shortcut jumps to any workspace or tab across every repo and host.
  • Rich Previews: open images, PDFs, and Markdown right in the workspace, next to the agent that made them.
  • Mobile Emulator: run an iOS Simulator or Android emulator beside your agent, and let it tap, type, and check its own work.
  • Dictation: press a shortcut and talk. Orca types what you say into the agent's prompt or terminal.
  • Usage & Accounts: see how much of your agent limits you've used and when they reset, and switch accounts without logging out.
  • Automations: schedule prompts to run on any repo: nightly dependency bumps, weekly triage, flaky-test sweeps.
  • Computer Use: when there's no CLI or API, agents can see and drive desktop apps and external browsers.
  • And many, many more: we ship daily, so this list is perpetually behind. The changelog is the real feature list.

Supported Agents

Works with any CLI agent — if it runs in a terminal, it runs in Orca.
