Highlights

Smart hover summaries now in Beta

Smart hover summaries leverage precise code intelligence data to show key architectural details of your code on hover.

Smart hover summary demo

When precise code intelligence is available, you now get a summary of the meaning of the symbol, and usage of the symbol across the codebase. In combination with the precise code intelligence hover information, this often saves the need to jump to a symbol and back which interrupts the flow of reading, and simplifies understanding complex codebases. Linked citations can even serve as an alternative to traditional code navigation.

Summaries are powered by a small, fast model, but only compiler-grade precise code intelligence data is used to inform the LLM of actual usage patterns across your repositories, allowing the LLM to cite factual usage locations in its answers - even across repositories.

Smart hover summaries are a Beta feature. The feature may become billable with credits once it becomes generally available.

Deep Search now supports search contexts

Use search contexts in Deep Search to ask questions within a set of repositories.

Search contexts are used to scope searches in code search. Now, you can do the same for Deep Search to guide the response to a specific domain. The users default search context is pre-selected.

This makes it easier to investigate a team area or large set of repositories without rewriting your prompt or repeating filters in every question. Teams can reuse the search contexts they already maintain in Code Search instead of redefining where Deep Search should look in every prompt. Follow-up questions keep the current scope by default, and you can change it directly from the follow-up composer when you need to investigate a different area.

Search your Git graph in Deep Search

Pinpoint where a commit or fix lives across branches, tags, and releases.

Deep Search can now search Git tags, ancestry, and commits on any branch to pinpoint where a change lives in your Git history.

For example, ask Deep Search: "In Kubernetes v1.29, a regression was introduced where the apiserver_watch_events_sizes metric stopped reporting total outgoing watch event traffic. How many versions shipped with the bug before it was resolved?"

Deep Search can also handle the same kind of questions across any repository you have access to:

"Which version introduced feature X?"
"Which releases shipped with the vulnerable dependency?"
"Has this refactor landed on any branch yet?"
"Did we cherry-pick this fix into our release branch?"

Try it today, and please share feedback with us at [email protected] or via your customer success manager!

Improvements

Deep Search Add list_refs, check_ancestry tools for improved versioning searches

Deep Search can now more efficiently answer questions about which versions and releases contain a specific commit or fix.
Deep Search Update sharing notice to clarify code visibility

Clarified Deep Search sharing notice to explicitly indicate that code will be visible to anyone with the link.
Deep Search Convert history sidebar to inline layout

Converted Deep Search history sidebar from fixed overlay to inline layout that persists state across reloads
Analytics Add service account field to user metadata export

Include whether a user is a service account in opt-in user metadata exports.
Inference Add support for Opus 4.7

Added support for Opus 4.7 model in Cody with adaptive thinking.
Inference Normalize stop reasons across LLM providers

Normalized LLM provider stop reasons into a consistent enum, enabling provider-agnostic error handling for refusal and content filter cases in deep search and subagents.
Licensing Allow AI features for plans including Cody

The Code Intelligence Platform and Cody Enterprise plans no longer require a separate license key to use AI features beyond Cody. Deep Search, AI query assist, and future AI features are now automatically enabled on these plans.
RBAC Implement Batch Changes read-only permission

Implemented the BATCH_CHANGES#READ permission. This enables administrators to create a role where users can view, but not edit or create Batch Changes.
Notices Add adminOnly attribute to hide banners from non-admins

Added adminOnly attribute to notices configuration, allowing site administrators to create banners visible only to other admins.
Objects Lsif-uploads, search-jobs fall back to unified sourcegraph bucket

Self-hosted Sourcegraph no longer requires separate buckets for LSIF uploads and search jobs: a single SOURCEGRAPH_UPLOADS_ bucket can now be used for all features. Existing configurations for AWS S3 and GCS object storage will be respected for LSIF uploads and search jobs. To learn more, refer to https://sourcegraph.com/docs/self-hosted/external-services/object-storage
Objects Add check for soft-required new 'sourcegraph' bucket

Added warning to administrators when the new sourcegraph bucket requirement is not fulfilled. Self-hosted customers using GCS or AWS S3 will soon need to manually prepare this bucket - see https://sourcegraph.com/docs/self-hosted/external-services/object-storage for more details.

Fixes

Deep Search Drop buggy NEW IS NOT NULL guard in search-queue trigger

Fixes a bug where some deep search conversations were not indexed for conversation search. This change triggers a full rebuild of the search index for conversation search, which happens in the background.
Deep Search Fix conversation search after title changes

Conversation search now correctly finds conversations after their titles have been changed.
Deep Search Surface tool call errors in UI

Deep search now displays tool call errors instead of silently showing no results.
Code Search Fix inverted logic in commit date filter suggestions

Fixed incorrect commit date filter suggestions for "Last week" and "Last month" options, which were using before: instead of after:.
Code Search Fix symbol and conversation search in command palette

Fixed symbol search and conversation search not returning results in the command palette.
Code Intel Remove deprecated PRECISE_CODE_INTEL_UPLOAD_TTL environment variable

Removed deprecated PRECISE_CODE_INTEL_UPLOAD_TTL environment variable. Configure CODEINTEL_UPLOADSTORE_EXPIRER_MAX_AGE on the worker container instead.
Authentication DCR ignores ports for loopback redirect URIs

MCP clients using random ports in redirect URIs no longer require reauthentication when the port changes.
GitLab Update GitLab native integration for compatibility and dark mode
- Fixed GraphQL API requests by adding required Content-Type header
- Fixed code intelligence hover popovers by updating permalink selector for modern GitLab versions
- Added dark mode support for code intelligence hover overlays
- Updated Sourcegraph logo in hover overlay
MCP Accept Bearer token on API for MCP spec compliance

MCP endpoints now accept Personal Access Tokens using the standard Authorization: Bearer <token> format for compliance with the MCP authorization specification (RFC 6750).
Security Fix cross-site scripting via unescaped repository file paths

Fixed cross-site scripting vulnerability where repository file paths containing HTML metacharacters could execute arbitrary scripts when viewing file diffs.
Webhooks Fix GitHub icon visibility in dark mode
