# v1.2.48

> Release notes for ADE v1.2.48 - August 1, 2026

v1.2.48 moves blocking questions into the composer across desktop, web, and ADE Code, reorganizes Settings around searchable tasks, preserves shipped PR history after lane cleanup, and makes multi-machine and agent work easier to identify and recover.

***

## Questions and settings stay in context

* **Questions live where answers happen.** Blocking prompts now open above the composer with shared option, selection, preview, and validation behavior across desktop, the hosted web client, and ADE Code.
* **Resolved answers remain readable.** Transcript receipts preserve the non-secret answer and expand on demand without leaving a stale blocking card behind.
* **Settings follow the job at hand.** Nine focused tabs replace the previous broad sections, with `Cmd-K` search that jumps directly to individual settings and quieter notification controls.

## Multi-machine and agent work is explicit

* **Remote work identifies its machine.** Session rows, command search, lane labels, and running composers distinguish local and foreign machines, including offline state and handoff guidance.
* **Spawned work reports back.** Agent launches declare `subagent` or `peer` intent, deliver causal completion summaries, expose delivery failures, and support bounded cross-chat inspection.
* **CTO operations avoid the primary worktree.** CTO-launched tasks create dedicated lanes, live operator tools are wired across providers, mutating Git actions require an explicit lane, and CTO attention reaches iOS.

## Recovery and shipped history are more durable

* **Interrupted chats return to idle.** Runtime recovery terminalizes orphaned turns, raises the brain watchdog threshold, records diagnostics, and removes periodic probes that could block the event loop.
* **Existing phone pairings heal safely.** A signed-in iPhone can reuse a valid prior QR/PIN pairing without deadlocking against a legacy Mac record, while failed machine switches restore the previous connection.
* **Merged PRs keep their provenance.** Deleting a lane now preserves detached PR history, merge facts, review and CI context, and lane provenance across desktop and iOS.
* **Quality findings must be resolved.** The quality and ship skills now require every verified finding to be fixed or explicitly gated before merge.
