April 6th updates

• Deep Search displays a proactive warning at 75% context capacity
• When context limit is reached and summarization fails, Deep Search now shows a call-to-action to fork the conversation

Use TypeWriter effect for smoother Deep Search conversation streaming

Indexed search is now faster during both searching and indexing.

Code intelligence hovers are now faster thanks to a simplified architecture that initiates requests earlier during file load and falls back to search-based results more quickly when precise data is unavailable.

GitHub OAuth tokens can now be used as Batch Changes credentials, providing an alternative to personal access tokens and GitHub Apps.

Added agentic workflows client prototype with three main pages: home page listing predefined workflows and running instances, template page with canvas UI for workflow configuration, and running instance page with logs and outputs panels for monitoring workflow progress.

Updated the required src CLI version to 7.0.2, with OAuth support and more.

Admins now receive notifications to clean up GitHub Apps on Sourcegraph if they have been deleted on GitHub.

MCP tools now validate arguments earlier and provide clearer error messages that mention the specific argument incorrectly used.

• MCP read_file: Large files (>128KB) now return the first 200 lines (further capped by bytes to avoid huge responses from files with very long lines) as accurately line-numbered content. The truncation notice is returned in ToolExecutionResponse.Note instead of being appended to the file content, preserving the guarantee that each numbered line corresponds to an actual file line. Binary files are detected and return a clear message with MIME type instead of a misleading line count.
• MCP nls_search: Tool description rewritten to accurately describe OR-logic keyword matching with stemming. No longer claims to be "semantic search". Includes explicit examples of correct vs incorrect query formatting.
• MCP list_repos: Now accepts an empty query to list all available repositories. A default pagination limit is always applied at the database layer to prevent unbounded table scans.
• MCP tool descriptions: Removed redundant preamble from all non-dotcom tool descriptions.

Support unlimited results when the query specifies a count: parameter, removing hardcoded limits.

Administrators can now grant non-site-admin users the ability to manage repositories and code host connections through the new REPO_MANAGEMENT permission. Users with this permission can access the Repositories section of the admin interface without requiring full site administrator privileges.

Gitserver can now be scaled up or down without downtime using secondary fallbacks and a graceful drain mechanism via the SRC_GITSERVER_DRAIN_SHARDS environment variable.

External services with expired credentials are now automatically suspended and will not retry syncing until credentials are updated. The UI displays the suspended state and prompts admins to take action.

Support GitHub's theme-specific image syntax in markdown rendering, allowing images to adapt based on light/dark theme context.

The prompt editor now automatically receives focus when the /deepsearch page loads.

Fixed explore panel not populating when using "find references" from citation hover cards by including the end position of the symbol range.

Cancelled Deep Search questions now remain visible in conversation history when asking follow-up questions.

Disabled a recent optimization in search indexers which sometimes led to git processes with large memory usage while indexing a repository.

Query assist promo now remains visible in search suggestions after onboarding, positioned above the "Narrow your search" section instead of being removed entirely.

When switching from Precise to Search in the Explore panel, fetch search-based results from the API instead of showing an empty tab. Previously, the Search tab reused the same precise query and showed no results.

Fixed database constraint for pushed-only changesets to align with application code

Fixed an issue where GitHub App code host connection pages without an installationID would crash.

Enabled OAuth tokens to make API requests on sourcegraph.com

• Kubernetes executor jobs now include a run ID in their name to ensure uniqueness for each execution
• Labels (job-id, queue, run-id, commit) and repository annotation added to jobs for easier querying and debugging

Deprecated statusFilters in modelConfiguration to simplify model availability. Sourcegraph now automatically determines which models should be available, eliminating cases where important models may be accidentally excluded through configuration. Individual and provider-specific models may still be excluded through modelFilters.

Fixed certain notifications not appearing in the sidebar admin alerts

Fixed GitHub icon display in dark mode on the code host connections configuration page

Removed Mixtral 8x22B Instruct model from available model configurations
