Highlights

Conversation forking in Deep Search

Try a different approach or continue past the context window limit.

Hit the context window limit, or want to explore a different direction without losing your original thread? Use the Fork button to start a new conversation that picks up where the original left off.

Forking is also useful when you want to:

Try a different approach to explore an alternative line of investigation.
Share and build on findings, fork a teammate's conversation to extend their research in a new direction.

Forking carries the conversation history into a new thread, so you can keep going with a fresh context window and nothing lost.

OAuth login for `src`

OAuth login is now supported in src, and src auth token allows you to easily use your active token in scripts.

You can now log in to src with OAuth, making it faster to connect src to your Sourcegraph instance without manually managing an access token.

We’ve also added src auth token, which prints the token for your current authenticated session. That makes it easier to use src in scripts and shell workflows, for example by passing $(src auth token) to other commands when needed.

Want to install and use src? Open the integrations page from your user menu to view instructions.

For more information on how to use src, see the docs.

When you delete a Deep Search conversation from history, you’ll now see the same small confirmation pop-up used in "Recent conversations".
Deep Search Add global notice to deepsearch page

Deep Search homepage now displays global notices configured with location "home", matching the behavior of the code search homepage.
Deep Search Improve styling of errors

Improve styling of inline errors in deep search conversations.
Deep Search Re-add user and date info to prompt

Deep Search now receives the user and date info at the start of every conversation.

MCP Add site-level kill switch for MCP endpoints

Added site configuration mcp.enabled to allow admins to disable MCP API endpoints instance-wide
MCP Add annotations to all tools

Added MCP tool behavior annotations so Sourcegraph tool definitions now expose safety hints like read-only, destructive, idempotent, and open-world to clients
Observability Add panel-group interpretation, per-panel tooltips, improved Gitserver/Zoekt memory mapping explanations
For self-hosted customers:
- Grafana panels now display informative tooltips on hover to help interpret each panel
- Gitserver and Zoekt Grafana dashboards now include improved explanatory text for resource usage interpretation
Repositories Use synced repository icons for repository page

Fixes

Deep Search Include Note in tool text output

MCP and Deep Search tools now surface search alerts when a query matches no repositories, times out, or hits another issue.
Deep Search Show animations only on last answer to reduce visual jitter

Reduced visual jitter in conversations by only animating the most recent answer card instead of all cards during conversation reloads.
Deep Search Prevent deleted Deep Search conversations from being re-added by stale upserts

Fixed an issue where deleted Deep Search conversations could reappear in the history sidebar or recent conversations menu. Deleted conversations are now consistently removed across both views.
Deep Search Prevent source reference pills from reloading page

Fixed source reference pills in the deep search prompt editor and question cards from triggering unnecessary page reloads when clicked. Pills in the prompt editor are now non-clickable, while question card pills only navigate when showing different content than currently displayed.
Deep Search Fix Deep Search UI entitlement warning state

Entitlement warnings and errors now display correctly when entitlement limits are reached.
Code Nav Fix explore panel not showing local references

Fixed explore panel not showing local references in certain situations when clicking "Find references" on a local symbol.
Code Nav Optimize StreamRangesQuery for improved Precise code navigation performance

Significantly improved Precise code navigation performance by optimizing symbol ranking and query ordering, reducing lookup times from timeouts to seconds.
Code Intel Scope bulk delete to active tab's index source

Fixed bulk delete to only affect uploads from the active tab (auto-indexing or user uploads), preventing unintended deletion of uploads from the other source.
Code Intel Prevent panic from concurrent map access in rockskip

Fixed a data race in the search method that could cause panics when concurrent goroutines modified the thread status map. The search method now safely retrieves a snapshot of thread statuses while holding the appropriate lock.

Moved the enqueue auto-indexing form to appear only when viewing the auto-indexing jobs tab.
Batch Changes Handle missing GitHub pull request state after merge

Fixed incorrect GitHub review statuses showing as pending after a PR is merged

Administration Clear sync notifications when code host is deleted

Admin notifications for deleted code hosts are now automatically cleared.
Cody Disable completion request count quota system if Cody is disabled

Remove the option to configure completion quotas when Cody is disabled. Unless Cody is enabled, this configuration no longer has any effect.
Executors Shorten default executor heartbeat clean up

Reduced the number of stale executors tracked in the executors list.
Inference Preserve Anthropic tool JSON bytes to prevent cache busting

Preserve raw JSON bytes in Anthropic tool-call handling to prevent cache invalidation caused by JSON reformatting.
Observability Set 'sampling.retain' only when request explicitly requests tracing in 'sampling: all' mode

sampling.retain trace attribute is now only set when tracing is explicitly requested via ?trace=1 query parameter or X-Sourcegraph-Request-Trace header, rather than being set for all requests when observability.tracing: { sampling: all } is configured. Behaviour in other sampling modes (selective, none) is unchanged.
RBAC Remove button styling from collapsible role headers

Fixed unwanted shadow and border styling on role collapsible headers in the RBAC roles page
UI Remove duplicate close button in export modal

Removed duplicate close button from export modal
