Cursor question prompts and reconnect recovery

v0.14.1
May 21, 2026

New Features

  • Cursor question prompts: Cursor provider questions now surface as structured Kaizen prompts and return selected answers back to Cursor.
  • Cursor model picker improvements: Cursor model variants are easier to scan with grouped model families and standard/fast selection.

Improvements

  • Dynamic Cursor models: Kaizen now probes Cursor runtime models and fast-mode support so the provider catalog better reflects the installed Cursor runtime.
  • Codex reconnect recovery: Reconnect retries now keep chats scoped correctly across retry delays, handoffs, cancellation, and stale app-server events.

Mermaid diagrams, OpenCode fixes, and image generation

v0.13.0
Apr 29, 2026

New Features

  • Mermaid diagrams in plans: Kaizen now renders Mermaid diagrams within plan blocks to better visualize project and architecture changes.
  • Codex image generation: Kaizen now supports generating images directly using Codex providers.

Improvements

  • Provider handoff and notification settings: The UI and flows for handing off between providers and managing notifications are now more reliable.
  • OpenCode model discovery: The OpenCode model catalog is more reliable and accurately detects OpenCode-backed models.
  • Recovered plan interactions: Plan interaction state such as checkboxes and diagrams are safely recovered after session restarts.

Cloud sync beta and multi-chat canvas workflows

v0.12.0
Apr 22, 2026

New Features

  • Cloud Sync and backups (Beta): Kaizen can now back up supported chat data to the cloud so multi-device workflows are easier to continue and recover.
  • Individual cloud chat pull from the sidebar: You can now pull a specific chat from cloud sync directly from the sidebar instead of forcing a broader sync step.
  • Multi-chat canvas: Kaizen now supports multi-view chat canvases so you can keep multiple chats and independent terminals open at the same time.

Improvements

  • Account settings polish: The account settings page layout is cleaner and easier to scan.
  • Bug fixes and stability improvements: This release also includes smaller fixes across sync flows, canvas behavior, and related UI reliability.

Wider language support across Kaizen and the web app

v0.11.0
Apr 12, 2026

New Features

  • Expanded multilingual support: Kaizen and the web app now support English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Thai, and Chinese across the main user-facing product surfaces.
  • Locale-aware defaults and switching: Both apps now default to the user’s supported language when available, fall back to English otherwise, and keep the user’s explicit language choice on later visits.

Improvements

  • Localized web routing and SEO: The web app now serves locale-prefixed routes, localized metadata, and translated release content so public pages better match the visitor’s language.
  • Translation coverage and persistence polish: Language selection, settings, provider controls, chat surfaces, and release notes are more consistently translated across devices and sessions.

Qwen beta, OpenCode API keys, and usage tracking

v0.10.0
Apr 11, 2026

New Features

  • Qwen Code provider support (Beta): Kaizen now supports Qwen as a built-in provider with provider setup, model preferences, and UI integration across the chat workflow.
  • OpenCode API key provider support: OpenCode-backed providers can now run directly from your API key configuration, which makes models such as GML 5.1 available through your local OpenCode setup.
  • Usage tracking in Settings: The `/settings/usage` page now tracks Claude and Codex token usage with costs and daily breakdowns so account usage is easier to audit.

Improvements

  • General bug fixes and improvements: This release also includes provider catalog fixes, usage-bar polish, review follow-ups, and broader UI reliability improvements.

Live model catalogs, provider hardening, and relay URL keys

v0.9.0
Apr 10, 2026

New Features

  • Runtime-derived Codex model catalog: Codex model and reasoning controls now follow the live app-server catalog while safely falling back to Kaizen static defaults when discovery fails.
  • Smarter OpenRouter model selection: Kaizen now discovers the live OpenRouter model catalog from OpenCode and presents grouped model and quality choices in the chat preferences UI.

Improvements

  • Provider architecture and Gemini reliability improvements: Kaizen now uses provider-owned startup and catalog logic with better Gemini plan-mode handling and safer provider recovery paths.
  • Rotatable relay URL keys: Relay URLs are now shorter and rotatable while preserving the relay auth and wake flows.
  • Reduce Kaizen chat open latency: Provider-backed chats and sidebar refreshes stop triggering expensive transcript and usage scans during normal navigation.
  • Move chats between features: Chat organization now supports moving chats between project features with more reliable drag-and-drop handling.

Relay access sync and billing webhook guard

v0.8.1
Apr 8, 2026

Improvements

  • Relay access sync: Kaizen now re-checks relay authorization with the server instead of relying on stale local entitlement state, so paid relay access recovers more predictably after account changes.
  • Billing webhook guard: Polar customer mappings that point at a missing local user now fail cleanly with an explicit validation error instead of crashing on a database foreign-key write.

Project diffs, queued messages, and commit workflow

v0.8.0
Apr 8, 2026

New Features

  • Project diff sidebar and commit workflow: Kaizen can now inspect project diffs in the sidebar, tune diff viewing preferences, generate commit messages, and turn selected changes into commits from the chat workflow.
  • Queued outbound messages: The CLI chat flow can now queue follow-up prompts while a turn is still running, with composer controls to preview, edit, remove, and drain queued messages safely.

Improvements

  • Paid relay and pricing updates: Paid users now get relay access by default, pricing copy is clearer, and the dashboard shows subscription state with better post-checkout feedback.
  • Diff review polish and follow-up fixes: The shipped diff flow includes follow-up fixes for sidebar sizing, disclosure handling, server git behavior, and related regression coverage.
  • Safer queued-message handling: Attachment staging cleanup, queue drain ordering, duplicate action guards, and attachment-only queue previews are hardened for more predictable chat behavior.

Standalone CLI packaging fix

v0.7.2
Apr 7, 2026

Improvements

  • Standalone CLI package no longer ships workspace dependencies: Kaizen installs and self-updates no longer fail in production because the published CLI package no longer depends on monorepo workspace packages.

Production-safe remote auth builds

v0.7.1
Apr 7, 2026

Improvements

  • Remote auth build targets stay production-safe: Development builds can still override the remote auth URL without leaking non-production URLs or env overrides into the shipped production bundle.

Improvements

  • Fix various bugs across chat recovery, waiting prompts, relay/account sync, and dashboard flows.
  • Fix various performance issues across chat startup, transcript rendering, sidebar updates, websocket sync, local persistence, and asset delivery.
  • Polish loading states, shared branding, and overall UI consistency across the CLI app and web app.
