Changelog

Pairing Mode Stashing

v0.4.0 December 15, 2025

New

  • Pairing Mode now exposes stashing via a dedicated header button with clearer states, so you can pair more quickly without having to get your git state at parity.

  • Now Claude's responses stream in smoothly, word by word, so you can follow changes without jumpy text.

  • You can now pick between multiple Codex models to better match your workflow or experiments.

pairing-mode-stashing

Improvements & Fixes

  • Deleted tasks now stay deleted and no longer pop back into your sidebar after their environments finish building.

  • MCP server authentication now works properly on macOS, unblocking MCP-based tools on OSX.

  • Nested git repositories now show a clear warning when diffs aren't supported, instead of failing with a confusing could not access ?/null error.

  • When your saved default or last-used model name is no longer valid, Sculptor now falls back to a supported Claude model instead of failing.

  • Pairing Mode and other long-running operations benefit from reduced memory leaks.

  • Docker containers and volumes are cleaned up more appropriately.

  • Snapshots are smaller by skipping unnecessary git packfile updates, which helps reduce local disk usage and keeps backups lighter.

  • Shutdown and environment cleanup now better coordinate container removal with task deletion, reducing leftover containers after you clean up tasks.

Smarter Claude Sync + Opus 4.5 Support

v0.3.0 December 08, 2025

New

  • Claude Code synchronization is now enabled by default for smoother setup.

  • You can now run tasks with Opus 4.5.

opus-4.5-support

Improvements & Fixes

  • Clearer behavior when using slash commands in Codex tasks.

  • Reduced startup memory spikes for faster, more reliable launches.

  • Prevented unnecessary snapshots when restarting containers.

  • More robust Claude OAuth refresh handling.

  • Sculptor no longer crashes when Claude Code reads PDF files.

  • Fixed edge cases for Pairing Mode.

Suggestions On By Default + Smarter Branches

v0.2.35 December 01, 2025

Featured Changes

  • Suggestions are now on by default. Suggestions surface potential issues across agent-generated changes so you can review in parallel without getting overwhelmed. If you prefer a quieter workspace or want tighter cost control, you can turn Suggestions off anytime in Settings.

suggestions-demo

New

  • Branch dropdowns now show all branches in your repo with search and infinite scroll, instead of only the most recent branches.

  • Pairing Mode now displays each step of the on/off process, making it clear what the agent is doing and why.

  • You can now run the /compact Claude Code slash command directly in Sculptor chats to shrink long or noisy context.

  • Devcontainer forwardPorts are now respected, so web apps running inside your devcontainer are reachable from your host without extra manual wiring.

Improvements & Fixes

  • In Pairing Mode, buttons stay in sync across the app, and a live progress popover appears while pairing or unpairing.

  • Huge task logs no longer consume excessive memory; errored and overnight tasks stay responsive, and environment startup avoids failures caused by missing or disappearing files during agent creation.

  • Branch selection now shows all of your branches (instead of the 5 most recent) and includes a search field to help you find the right branch.

  • Slash commands correctly support arguments like /compact and sort commands in a clearer order with explicit project/user labels.

  • Sculptor remembers your last-used model when you haven’t set a default, and Codex usage reports token consumption more accurately.

  • Linux users get the File menu restored, Ctrl+Enter sends chat messages, and general UI interactions across the app are more intuitive.

Smaller Snapshots + More Reliable Tasks

v0.2.32 November 24, 2025

Featured Changes

  • Cleanup scripts run in background to garbage collect unused sculptor docker volumes.

  • Task containers snapshotting is no longer bloated by git garbage collection for long-running agent environments.

New

  • Imbue's suggestions agent can now flag "abstraction violation" issues, catching code that reaches into private internals across modules instead of using proper public interfaces.

Improvements & Fixes

  • Disabled Git's background garbage collection inside containers to avoid surprise slowdowns during long tasks.

  • Improved the interactability of the autoupdate notification in future updates.

  • Fixed crashes when rsync hits Git's Unix socket files.

  • Made Sculptor resilient to bad or empty docker stats output caused by old docker versions, avoiding rare frontend startup failures.

  • Force certain to run under bash so scripts using source and bash-specific syntax behave consistently in cases where the default shell is sh.

  • Automatically prune old control plane Docker volumes to free disk space while keeping recent versions.

Faster Updates + More Flexible API Keys

v0.2.31 November 17, 2025

Featured Changes

Use any Anthropic-compatible API key without errors.

New

  • Now you can trigger a manual update check directly from the Sculptor menu on all platforms.

  • You can use third-party or Anthropic-compatible API keys without hitting the "invalid key" blocker.

Improvements & Fixes

  • Clearer, more consistent styling across settings pages for a cleaner reading experience.

  • The “View Changelog” link now reads “See What’s New” for clearer, friendlier navigation.

  • Sculptor no longer crashes when it encounters remotely mounted filesystems that are currently disconnected.

  • Better visibility into git-state errors during local builds to help diagnose issues faster.

  • More reliable API key handling with simplified validation logic.

Clear Terminal Feedback + Faster Updates

v0.2.30 Nov 12, 2025

Claude Code agents now automatically use your local settings.json by copying it into their container.

Featured Changes

  • Local settings.json is now copied into agent containers for consistent behavior

  • More transparent terminal output for building, errors, and unavailable states

  • Faster access to new releases thanks to a fully automated update process

  • Custom devcontainers now support more of the devcontainer spec: updateContentCommand and onCreateCommand

Improvements & Fixes

  • Quitting Sculptor no longer triggers unintended restarts when an update is pending

  • Terminal tab now shows meaningful messages instead of blank states

  • Large diffs are now handled more safely to reduce performance issues and errors

Clearer Syncing + More Reliable Task Switching

v0.2.29 Nov 7, 2025

Understand your Pairing Mode status at a glance with new visual indicators for “Syncing” and “Fully Synced,” plus refreshed iconography and colors.

pairing-on-dark
pairing-on-light

Featured Changes

  • New visual states for Pairing Mode: “Syncing” vs. “Fully Synced” with clearer color and icon language

  • Hover popovers for Pairing Mode and the Merge Panel now explain how each feature works

Improvements & Fixes

  • Sculptor now loads gracefully if Docker Desktop isn’t running — no more blank startup screen

  • Switching between tasks reliably updates the model selector so each task shows its actual configuration

  • Sync button behavior is smoother: no flickering, clearer transitions, and proper disabled hover state on startup

  • Forking tasks preserves file state more reliably

Upload images + Haiku 4.5

v0.2.22 Oct 21, 2025

You can now upload images to agents in Sculptor. Agents can view uploaded images in full resolution.

upload_images

We've also added support for Haiku 4.5, enabling faster and more cost-efficient code generation.

Faster startup time

v0.2.20 Oct 14, 2025

Sculptor app startup time has been significantly improved — the app now opens within a few seconds. (Updates may still take slightly longer to download.)

Improvements & Fixes

  • More reliable Docker detection and clearer warnings when Docker is disconnected

  • Sculptor no longer crashes when Docker is disconnected

  • Fixed shutdown edge cases (threads, tmux session, nginx handle) to prevent orphan processes

Forking agents!

0.2.18 Oct 10, 2025

You can now fork Claude Code agents in Sculptor. Spin off a new agent from any message while preserving full prior context.

Forking allows:

  • Sharing curated context across multiple agents

  • Testing multiple libraries or approaches in parallel

  • Resetting messy agent context without restarting your workflow
