Proposed actions

  1. Open the primary notes for Cline desktop-v0.0.8 and extract 1–3 changes that affect your daily workflow.
  2. Run a 30-minute bake-off of Cline's new/default model on one real task you already know well.
  3. Re-check agent/tool permissions for Cline on a throwaway repo before using it on production code.
  4. List permission, sandbox, API, or config breaks for Cline and decide adopt / pilot / wait.
  5. Decide this week: adopt now, pilot on one project, or defer — then capture the decision in DevAgentRadar.
  6. Pilot / sandbox / policy review before org rollout.

## 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.
