v26.3.1: Fable 5 Support and Fresher PR Views

Braid Team
Braid Team

Braid now speaks Fable 5, Anthropic's newest and most capable model - pick it from the model selector and go. This release also makes the Tasks panel feel alive: PR details quietly refresh in the background, review threads support nested replies, and the file tree finally remembers which folders you had open.

Added​

  • Fable 5 support - Anthropic's new top-tier model is available in the model selector, with proper labels in chat and extended-context handling. Powered by an upgrade to the latest Claude Agent SDK.
  • Live PR sync - Open PRs now refresh their summary (mergeability, review status, checks) every 45 seconds in the background, with a sync indicator in the detail header so you always know how fresh the view is.
  • Nested review replies - Reply threads in PR conversations now render their full depth, and you can reply to individual replies inline, not just the thread root.

Improved​

  • File tree keeps its shape - Expanded folders stay expanded across refreshes instead of collapsing back to the root.
  • Reaction picker positioning - The emoji reaction menu now floats above surrounding content instead of getting clipped by scroll containers.
  • PR views stay coherent - The PR list, summary, and detail views share cached data, so switching between them no longer flashes stale information.

Fixed​

  • Worktree removal cleanup - Deleting a worktree now cleans up leftover directories, and surfaces a clear error toast if removal fails instead of failing silently.
