Highlights
π³ Worktree Branch Management & Streamlined Mode Switching
We've made several improvements to the Git Worktree experience based on your feedback:
- Shorter Branch Names: When a task has no name set, the branch name now uses a shortened task ID instead of the full GUID, making branch names much more manageable.
- Configurable Branch Prefix: Not a fan of the default
aider-desk/tasks/prefix? You can now customize it in Settings -> Tasks. - Auto-Rename Branches: A new setting automatically renames your worktree branch to match the task name once it's auto-generated after the first run - so finding your branches by name is easier than ever.
- Merge on Mode Switch: When switching from Worktree mode to Local mode, you'll now see an option to merge your changes in the same action - no need to manually merge before switching.
- Shared Worktree Protection: Added detection for shared worktrees to prevent accidental deletion.
π Disabling Rule Files & Simplified UI
You can now enable and disable individual rule files, giving you fine-grained control over which rules are active for your current task without deleting them. We've also simplified the Rule Files UI by flattening the tree structure into a clean listβsince rule files don't have nested hierarchies, the tree view was adding unnecessary complexity.
ποΈ Review Changes Task Action
A small but impactful workflow improvement: when your agent finishes making changes, a new "Review changes" button now appears directly in the task state actions. Clicking it takes you straight to the Updated Files modal where you can view diffs and request changes - giving you a natural next step right after implementation completes.
π CORS Settings for Server Security
If you're running AiderDesk's server mode (via Docker or the npm CLI), you can now configure CORS allowed origins directly in Settings. This is an important security measure that ensures only authorized websites can access your AiderDesk API, preventing malicious sites from making requests to your instance.
