 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.10.12] - 2026-07-28
+
+### Added
+
+- Added a persistent, resizable A3S Work live-preview panel for static sites,
+  loopback development servers, text, images, PDFs, and supported Office files.
+  Static sites reload after debounced workspace changes and provide responsive
+  device, zoom, refresh, pause, and external-window controls.
+- Added `/preview <path|localhost-url>`, `/preview status`, and `/preview stop`
+  to the Code TUI. The workspace IDE also opens the selected item with `p`, and
+  `:preview` saves a dirty editor buffer before opening it.
+
+### Security
+
+- Confined file previews to canonical active-workspace paths, blocked traversal,
+  hidden and sensitive files, escaping symbolic links, and oversized assets,
+  and limited URL previews to HTTP(S) loopback hosts. Static HTML runs in an
+  opaque-origin CSP sandbox, and preview descriptors and content now expire at
+  their declared deadline.
+- Kept native preview-window ownership separate from the shared Web process.
+  Preview replacement, stop, and TUI exit close only the exact tracked window,
+  and the window receives no A3S OS access or refresh token.
+
 ### Fixed

 Web tasks, visible messages, titles, goals, effort, model selection, and
 execution mode are saved under `~/.a3s/code-web` and restored before the API
 starts accepting requests. Set `A3S_CODE_WEB_STATE_DIR` to isolate that store.

 | Coding loop | Chat with the coding agent, stream semantic tool cards, choose Default, Plan, or Auto execution, inspect and control pending follow-ups with `/queue`, and inspect or safely cancel delegated work with `/tasks` or `Ctrl+B`. Run direct shell turns with `!`, run a durable Ultracode `/goal`, and fork, rewind, or clear sessions when needed. `/relay` pins the current session, searches a bounded 64-row catalog per source, preserves semantic selection across refreshes, shows saved state, model, age, unfinished runs, and live background-agent counts, or hands the latest task from a workspace-scoped external transcript to the active session. |
 | Permission review | Gated calls enter a FIFO approval queue backed by the authoritative tool name and arguments. The overlay can allow once, grant that exact capability for the current session, atomically add the reviewed capability to `.a3s/permissions.acl`, or collect denial feedback for the agent. `/permissions` searches session and project grants, opens their canonical arguments, and revokes only after a second matching action. Project rules are bounded, parsed and generated with `a3s-acl`, reject symbolic-link targets, and remain narrower than hard workspace guardrails. Revocation affects future checks, not tools already running. |
 | Execution modes | Default runs bounded workspace file changes directly. A shared Rust guardrail silently admits a narrow, proven read-only host Bash subset; unproven commands, protected metadata, mutating Git operations, and annotated external side effects enter HITL, while critical commands fail closed. Plan exposes only read-only discovery tools and denies Bash. Auto never enters HITL: it admits only Rust-proven read-only Bash and denies other host commands, protected metadata, and mutating Git operations. A queued turn retains the mode captured when it was submitted. |
-| Workspace UI | `/ide` opens a superfile-style tree and editor with terminal-stable file marks, `/config` edits the active config in the same editor, `Ctrl+T` opens the complete semantic transcript, and file edits render bounded diffs through the shared `DiffView` component. Diff headers use green `+N` and red `-N` counts; Markdown uses Codex-spaced section headings, responsive tables, syntax highlighting, and terminal hyperlinks. |

 | Models and effort | `/model` switches configured providers, OS gateway models, and signed-in account tabs. Codex account discovery delegates refresh and entitlement checks to the installed Codex CLI, so an expired identity token does not hide models while reusable account access remains. WorkBuddy `hy3` tagged calls are converted into native tool events without exposing protocol markup in streamed messages. `/effort` scales thinking budget, tool-round budget, auto-continuation, and model-agnostic rigor guidance from `low` through `max` and `ultracode`. A3S Code 5.2.4 structured calls use native JSON Schema or forced-tool output only when the active client advertises that capability; unknown custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints retain the bounded prompt fallback instead of receiving an assumed `tool_choice`. |
 | Dynamic workflows | `ultracode` and `?` DeepResearch can use `DynamicWorkflowRuntime`, a local A3S Flow-backed workflow runner. It records workflow/step history while PTC scripts perform ordinary tool work. This is separate from `/flow`, which is OS Workflow as a Service for persisted workflow assets. |
 | Local and remote parallelism | Local subagent fan-out uses the host-side `parallel_task` tool. QuickJS/PTC scripts do not call `parallel_task` directly; dynamic workflows schedule a Flow step named `parallel_task`, and the host executes it natively. After `/login`, the signed-in `runtime` tool is available to workflow steps and model turns for OS Runtime batch execution. |

 | System agent island | Enabled by default. `/island on`, `/island off`, and `/island status` persist or inspect the user preference, and the expanded island also offers `Turn off`. A fresh exact non-idle A3S lifecycle or recognized coding-agent process requests one native per-user window at the physical screen's top center; the shared lock prevents multiple `a3s code` TUIs from rendering duplicate islands. On notched Macs, native safe-area geometry makes the surface meet the physical top edge while its compact content occupies the two unobstructed side wings. A dedicated handle moves the window; periodic centering stops after a successful drag, and expand/collapse preserves the moved surface's top-center. Live `All`, `Needs you`, `Running`, and `Recent` filters preserve parent context and show direct-child progress. Every row shows state and elapsed time with an original vendor-colored robot; terminal durations freeze. Exact approval rows display a bounded reason, expose larger `Allow` / `Always` / `Deny` controls, and offer a direct reply composer; live parent rows can also accept replies or expose `Stop`, while running children may expose `Cancel`. Recognized Codex and other process-only rows are labeled `detected / process`, count as running evidence, trigger and keep the island visible, and never receive controls. Any exact planning/working row or recognized process enables the diffuse multicolor neon breathing border. The standalone Tao/Wry helper embeds offline HTML/CSS/JavaScript and does not use the GUI crate, React, or Next.js. Standard Wayland compositors may constrain exact global placement. |
