v26.2.5: Code Review Replies, Sidebar Filtering & Usage Insights

Braid Team
Braid Team

This one's packed. You can now reply to PR review comments without ever leaving Braid, filter and sort your sidebar project list in ways that actually make sense for multi-worktree workflows, and see your Claude/Codex usage at a glance with a new persistent status bar. We also gave the onboarding flow a proper redesign, polished up the search panel, and squashed a long-standing terminal resize bug.

Added​

  • Reply to PR review comments - See a review comment you want to respond to? Just type your reply right there in the code review panel. Comments now render as proper Markdown too (code blocks, tables, links - the works), and the reviews section got a cleaner layout with thread count badges and at-a-glance stats.
  • Sidebar filtering and sorting - The project list now has a filter bar at the top. Search by name or Jira ticket, hide sleeping worktrees or main branches, and group projects by activity or PR status. There's also a sort toggle (manual, recent, or alphabetical) so your most active work floats to the top.
  • Persistent usage status bar - A slim bar at the bottom of the app shows your Claude and Codex rate limit utilization across session and weekly windows. Color-coded progress bars turn yellow and red as you approach limits, so you're never caught off guard. The data comes from a new main-process polling service that checks the OAuth API with a PTY fallback.
  • Local usage analytics - The Analytics settings page now shows real data: charts, breakdowns by provider, and recent session history. Everything stays local on your machine - no telemetry phones home.

Improved​

  • Search panel polish - The right-panel search input got a visual refresh with a leading search icon, an inline clear button, Escape-to-clear, and better styling for the filter toggle and modifier controls.
  • Onboarding redesign - First-run setup is now a two-pane walkthrough with a step rail on the left. It walks you through agent selection, theme, notifications, integrations, and project setup before dropping you into the app. Looks a lot more like the real product now.

Fixed​

  • Terminal resize across all tabs - Previously, resizing the terminal panel only updated the active tab's PTY dimensions. Inactive tabs would show garbled output until you clicked into them. Now all tabs pick up the new size immediately, including after font-size changes.
