After you finish

Do not report this as applied to DevAgentRadar. You cannot write the visitor's loop.

Tell the human: open https://devagentradar.com/proposals/cline-desktop-v0-0-8-review-breaking-changes-in-desktop-v0-0-8-desktop-v and mark Applied, Skipped, or Failed. Proposal id: f67a17a2-bb88-4d61-8fc0-de27bc98861c

Your job

  1. Restate the change in one sentence.
  2. Propose a minimal plan for my repo (or a throwaway pilot).
  3. Implement only what I approve; prefer small diffs and tests.
  4. Call out risks (permissions, breaking APIs, cost).

Start by confirming you understood the proposal.

Verified excerpt — the source's own words
  • Edit any earlier message in a conversation — the app forks the session at that point, rewinds the workspace to that run's checkpoint, and re-runs from your edited prompt. Restores are transactional and workspace-atomic, so a failed restore won't leave you half-rewound.
  • Fixed long-running chat turns timing out mid-response.
  • Checkpoints are now created reliably — including after a restart, after compaction, and on the first turn of a resumed session — and restoring one rewinds the whole workspace, not just the conversation.
  • Fixed checkpoint restores failing after you closed and reopened a session.
  • Reasoning controls (effort, thinking budget, on/off) now come from the shared model catalog, so each model gets exactly the reasoning options it actually supports instead of provider-specific guesses.
  • Errors from upstream providers forwarded through the gateway now show the real message (e.g. "This model's maximum context length is 40960 tokens…") instead of a raw validation dump or [object Object].
  • Ollama: empty responses are retried automatically, and the response-start timeout is raised to 5 minutes so cold model loads don't error out.
