Allow users to close leased browser tabs without cancelling the AI request or revoking its other tools. Closed-page operations report a recoverable error; explicit navigation creates a dedicated replacement tab for direct-model and MCP calls.
Add regression coverage and real Electron lifecycle checks, and update browser behavior documentation.
Release note: 浏览器标签页被 AI 请求占用时也可关闭，其他任务继续运行；再次导航会打开独立新页。
Restore Ask workspace reads and output paging without granting write access,
and let programming Subagents reuse their parent's browser page. Allocate
browser resources only when used, keep Agent pages aligned with workbar tabs,
recover released bindings, and remove unused automatic screenshot work.
Preserve inherited Runtime selections during remote usage persistence and
manual compression. Keep viable channel model fallbacks, display the actual
scheduled-task mode and Harness model source, and avoid rediscovery delays
when calling healthy MCP tools. Fix directory/history refresh, case-only
renames, rename-aware commit diffs, and FastGPT probe success reporting.
Add regression coverage and align feature documentation. The Agent-side
connection timeout fix requires deploying an updated Agent; existing Ask
read-only and Execute authorization boundaries remain unchanged.
Final validation: 3839 tests passed, 66 skipped; typecheck, lint, development
build, and diff checks passed. Isolated Electron UI/MCP workflows passed with
a loopback model fixture. Current-source Linux x64 Host checks passed with
three successful real model requests. Chromium loadURL rejection was not
reproduced in the UI; released-binding recovery has automated coverage.
Release note: 修复 Ask 读取项目文件、浏览器页面显示与恢复、文件管理及模型配置跟随中的不一致，并减少无用截图和 MCP 等待。定时任务显示实际工作模式，远程会话可正常保存继承 Runtime 的用量；远端连接超时修复需更新 Agent 后生效。
Users previously had to leave the workbar to manage project files and inspect Git branches or commit history. Add file and directory creation, rename, move, delete and properties, plus searchable branches, branch creation and switching, explicit fetch, and commit file diffs.
Keep file previews in the right workspace pane with directory expansion, selection, scroll and focus preserved on return. Add compact action menus, directory pickers, preview refresh and source switching. Embed the shared browser session directly in the workbar with navigation, resizing and fullscreen controls instead of a separate interaction window.
Moves stay within the current workspace, deletion is permanent after confirmation, and Git switch reports conflicts without discarding or stashing changes. Typecheck, lint and staged whitespace checks pass; existing full-suite failures and the blocked real remote directory validation remain recorded in the workbar progress document.
Release note: 可在右侧工作区管理文件、切换 Git 分支并查看提交历史，返回预览后保留浏览位置；浏览器支持在工作栏内直接交互和全屏显示。
The Browser workbar previously showed the Agent-controlled page but did not let users navigate it directly. It now provides Back, Refresh or Stop Loading, an address field, and Go alongside the existing interaction and close actions.
User and Agent operations share the same per-conversation browser session and serialization path. Loading, committed URL, and history state keep the toolbar accurate, while Stop Loading interrupts page navigation without closing the session or releasing Runtime context.
Direct navigation continues to use the existing built-in-browser capability and URL policy. Closing the browser remains a distinct lifecycle action.
Release note: 浏览器工作栏新增返回、刷新/停止加载、地址栏和前往操作；用户与 Agent 共用同一浏览器会话，停止加载不会关闭会话。
