v0.210.2Release

Open agent sessions in a workspace tab

Live agent sessions can now be opened in a tab in the main workspace, right next to Files and Diff, instead of living only inside their agent panel. Use the new Open in workspace action on any running session to pop it out; opening the same session again just refocuses its existing tab instead of creating a duplicate, and you can keep as many session tabs open at once as you want. The workspace tab and the agent panel show the exact same live session: new messages, streaming output, approval prompts, and status changes appear in both at the same time. Closing a workspace tab only closes that view, the session itself keeps running in its agent panel exactly as before.

Several macOS reliability fixes landed together in this release. Pausing or stopping an agent session on macOS now correctly affects every process it spawned, not just the top-level one, so a coding agent that shells out to other tools actually stops when you ask it to. Launching Pekan from the Dock or Finder now finds command-line tools installed through Homebrew, nvm, and similar version managers as reliably as launching it from a terminal. Every macOS build is also checked before release to confirm sign-in and the voice-dictation microphone prompt are both wired up correctly.

Pekan is a bit quieter across projects too: task and comment activity on the board now only reaches people actively viewing that project, instead of every open Pekan window regardless of which project it's showing.

Finally, the changelog's own pagination is fixed: older release pages like this one now load correctly instead of occasionally 404ing, whether you click through from here, open the link directly, or refresh.
