Release notes

Local Hoist v0.2.1

July 5, 2026

Improves multi-repo commits, ChatGPT/Codex subscription handling, subagent performance and recovery, shell approval controls, and fixes several small UI and reliability issues.

Improved

The commit flow now handles conversations that change files across multiple repositories, with per-repo review, generated commit messages, repo-aware diffs, pagination, clearer skipped-file disclosures, and auto-advance after each repository is committed.
OpenAI/Codex subscription controls now better reflect what can actually be requested in Codex mode, including clearer handling for Fast/Priority intent, suppressed Flex behavior, and subscription-backed usage accounting.
Large conversations with subagent activity now render and reconcile more efficiently, especially when subagent containers update after background work completes.
Shell approvals now support a more trusted model tier for eligible frontier models, while still blocking system-destroying commands from auto-approval.

Fixed

Fixed ChatGPT/Codex subscription quota exhaustion so Local Hoist shows a clear notice or modal and immediately falls back to the configured backup provider when available instead of surfacing a raw quota error.
Fixed modal layering so left-panel controls and resize handles no longer bleed through Account or Preferences overlays.
Fixed conversation timestamp normalization so conversation ordering and relative times are handled consistently as UTC.

Reliability

Subagent resume and duplicate-execution handling is more robust after restarts or repeated tool attempts, eliminating an edge case duplicate child run and improving result delivery back to the parent conversation.
Computer-use actuation is now claim-gated so only one connected renderer performs a mouse, keyboard, or screen action when multiple app windows are listening.
