Week of April 13, 2026

Command Bridge is now live, a single interface that pulls together your agents, active learning clusters, and team rosters so you can see who (and what) is working on what without hopping between screens. It pairs with a new Active Roster side panel in CrewOverview and redesigned crew cards (portrait split layout, larger hero visuals) so live capability state is readable at a glance.

Nova steps up as a primary Crew agent this week, with her own avatar and visual presence, and the whole AI surface gets a safety pass. Background actions that mutate data now require explicit approval, admins get a workspace-level opt-in for AI & Automation, and you can pick the model (Haiku, Sonnet, Opus) that matches the tone and depth you want. Background tool activity and AI job results now show up in the chat timeline so nothing happens behind your back.

Long sessions hold together better. Context compaction and sliding-window summarization keep the relevant pieces in scope without losing key details, long messages no longer get truncated or fail silently, and the agent timeline handles unusual step types more gracefully. Fetching is also lighter, so responses feel snappier.

Issue trackers stop drifting from your workspace. GitHub and Jira issue descriptions now sync both ways, pull external updates in, push local edits back, and Jira specifically gets better formatting interpretation and closed-issue handling. From the Changes dashboard, GitHub PRs open directly in their original tab. The bigger move: you can now export themes straight to GitHub Issues or Jira Epics/Stories with configurable field mapping and automatic link tracking, and push a single theme to multiple connections at once.

Feedback gets sharper classification, a redesigned detail view (two-column desktop with a Nova Insights collaboration sidebar), and anonymous submission so candid input is easier to collect. Severity (S0-S3) was refined so impact reads cleanly across the triage flow.

Org admins can now set a Default Role (Viewer, Member, Admin) for new users right from the Members interface. Setup got smoother too: conditional discovery tabs, simplified rule management, and a unified smart search/filter bar across the connection catalog and active connections, including better behavior on smaller screens.

A round of polish across discovery and setup flows, a unified EmptyState for Discovery/Signals/Capabilities/Bridge, and a fix for the Capabilities Map so dragging or misclicks outside grouped nodes no longer hijack your selection. Underneath, the background job pipeline and AI Jobs Engine were upgraded, results persist reliably and surface faster, and real-time subscriptions are more stable, with broader error handling reducing silent failures across chat and integrations.

• Command Bridge gives you one place to see your agents, capabilities, and team, fewer screens, faster context.
• Nova feels more present (avatar, primary Crew slot) and works under explicit approvals you can see in the chat timeline.
• Issue trackers stay honest, GitHub and Jira sync both ways, and you can push themes straight into them.
• Feedback collection gets candid input via anonymous submission, with cleaner detail views and Nova Insights alongside.
• Long agent conversations hold their context, and background AI work is faster and more reliable.
