Release Notes

CLI v0.200.0, Desktop v0.157.0: Background processes report real process IDs, MCP connections stay authenticated across reconnects, and the model list is searchable in the app Improvements - Failed pull confirmation - When a Git pull fails, Droid now asks before changing your working tree to fix it instead of doing so on its own - Faster session startup - File search tooling now loads only when it is needed, so a session is ready to use sooner - Model list search - The model list now has a search box, so you can find a model without scrolling through the whole list (app) Bug fixes - Background process IDs - Starting a command in the background now reports its real process ID, so you can check on it or stop it - MCP server reauthentication - Connections to MCP servers now stay authenticated instead of asking you to sign in again on the next reconnect - Inherited subagent reasoning - A subagent can now inherit the session's reasoning setting instead of being forced onto a fixed one (app)
