This update is all about making it easier to see what your software is doing. It is especially helpful for developers who use automated instructions (called "specs") to build or test their code, giving them a much clearer way to watch those instructions happen live.
What's new
- Full-screen task runner: When you type
/spec runto start an automated task, it now opens a dedicated full-screen view. This clears away the clutter from your screen so you can focus entirely on the task. - Real-time progress: You can now watch your task work step-by-step, exactly as it happens.
- Task scope selection: Before the task kicks off, you get to choose its "scope"—meaning you can decide exactly which parts of your project the task is allowed to touch or affect.
