Continue Cascade conversations in Devin Local on Desktop 3.9.19
Cascade is removed in Devin Desktop 3.9.19; Devin Local is the only agent. Migrate chats with Continue in Devin Local, pick Local/Worktree/Cloud (searchable worktrees), batch-archive inbox sessions, and Checkout branch against local clones including worktrees.Why this loop
Devin Desktop v3.9.19 removes Cascade, so any Desktop workflow still targeting Cascade will stop. Devin Local is now the only agent; existing conversations must be moved with the Continue in Devin Local prompt, and Problems panel actions send to Devin Local when Cascade is disabled. The location picker exposes Local, Worktree, and Cloud as top-level options with existing worktrees in a searchable nested submenu, and Checkout branch finds local clones (including worktrees) and lets you pick when several match—use those instead of extra checkouts. The sidebar defaults to sessions updated in the last 30 days and the inbox adds per-row checkboxes for batch archive/unarchive, so clear stale Cascade-era sessions now. PR cards add Open Devin Review, Open in Desktop tab, Close PR, and Git settings; Review tabs show the PR title and GitHub links open at the diff anchor. 3.9.19 also fixes MCP registry fetches behind corporate proxies, attaching to dev containers whose remote user is uid:gid, and Remote-WSL on a fresh install.
Proposed actions
- Install Devin Desktop v3.9.19 from https://windsurf.com/changelog#v3-9-19 so Cascade is gone and Devin Local is the only Desktop agent.
- Open each existing Cascade conversation and submit this prompt exactly: Continue in Devin Local
- In the agent location picker, choose Local, Worktree, or Cloud as a top-level option; type in the nested submenu to select an existing worktree instead of creating a new checkout.
- In the agent inbox list view, use the per-row checkboxes to batch-archive sessions not updated in the last 30 days (the sidebar now defaults to that window).
- On a PR card, run Checkout branch and pick the matching local clone or worktree when several match, then use Open Devin Review (tabs show the PR title; GitHub links open at the diff anchor).
