Native chats have their own permission mode. Choose permissions for each new Claude or Codex chat from Settings → Chat → Behavior; existing chats keep the mode they were already using, and changing models no longer resets it.
Native chat sessions are easier to continue. You can resume large terminal conversations in a new native chat, recover chats whose only work ran in the background after a restart, and see every supported chat provider accurately in Session History.
Claude accounts and Codex chat setup are smoother. Claude accounts again use separate folders, the sign-in link can be copied, Codex chats require version 0.136.0 or later, and Codex Ultrafast is available as a speed choice.
Browser automation gives your keyboard back reliably. Agent browser commands target the intended page, and browser popups behave more like Chrome.
Also: worktree cleanup is safer, read macOS notifications disappear from Notification Center, long chats load better on phones, and cold session-history reads avoid unnecessary reindexing.
