🚀 CodeBuddy Code v2.79.1 Release ​

✨ New Features ​

Daemon Persistent Mode & Background Sessions ​

Added Daemon process support, manageable via daemon start/stop/status/restart commands for background-running CLI instances. Also supports the --bg parameter to start tasks in the background, with ps/logs/attach/kill commands for full lifecycle management of background tasks.

Web UI Workers & Log Management ​

Web UI now includes a Workers page for visual management of all Worker processes and Daemons, supporting start/stop and terminate operations. A new standalone log viewer supports 4 log types (telemetry/process/debug/conversation) switching, keyword search, and syntax highlighting.

System Monitoring View ​

Web UI now includes a Metrics page displaying system CPU, memory, and disk usage overview along with per-instance process-level resource metrics (RSS, Heap, uptime), with 8-second auto-polling refresh to help you stay on top of resource status.

Editor Experience Overhaul ​

  • Tab Enhancements: Support for drag-and-drop reordering, pinned tabs (Pin), overflow scroll arrows, and enhanced context menu (copy path, reveal in file tree, close to the right, close saved)
  • Breadcrumb Navigation: File path hierarchy displayed at the top of the editor, click to quickly switch between sibling files
  • Quick Open: Support for Cmd+P / Ctrl+P to quickly search and open files
  • File Preview: Support for image preview (zoom/drag/checkerboard background), Markdown, PDF, SVG preview, and binary file info page
  • Status Bar: Bottom bar displaying cursor position, selection info, language type, and other editor status
  • Recent Files: Empty editor page shows a list of recently opened files

🔧 Improvements ​

  • Execution Phase Tracking: Loading status bar now shows fine-grained execution phases (preparing / waiting for model / streaming / processing / running tool), helping you understand what the Agent is currently doing
  • Extended Background Task Support: stream-json and headless modes now support background tasks; only print mode (-p) retains the original limitation
  • Settings Page Refactoring: Refactored into a data-driven settings panel with REST API support for reading/writing user-level settings, including toggle, select, text input, and JSON editor controls, with save feedback notification after operations
  • Code Block Optimization: Copy button changed to hover-floating display, language label bar removed for a cleaner interface
  • Menu Interaction Improvements: Slash commands, @ file completion, and + function panel now support click-outside-to-close

🐛 Bug Fixes ​

  • Command Completion Menu: Fixed the issue where the completion menu remained visible while typing command arguments; the menu now correctly closes when the cursor leaves the command name area
  • Metrics Collection: Fixed circular API call issue with the metrics endpoint in multi-instance scenarios
  • Session Working Directory: Fixed the issue where Web UI session working directory was set to a URL instead of the actual path
