Highlights

Agentic Batch Changes: fullscreen mode, workspace sorting, and more

Usability improvements to help you deploy your changes more effectively.

If you haven't heard already, Agentic Batch Changes is now available in Beta. This is a completely re-imagined way to apply code change at scale.

We're releasing a slew of new improvements to the Beta experience this week.

Fullscreen mode

We understand the workspace panel only allows for a limited view of the diff. In light of this, we've added fullscreen mode, a view that gives the diff the dedicated space needed to be read comfortably.

Just use Opt/Alt + f to trigger fullscreen mode while you have a workspace panel open.

Workspace sorting

We've built controls into the workspace table to sort by workspace, run state, duration, and last updated. Find the workspaces you need while dealing with true mass change.

Papercuts

We've resolved a ton of small papercuts around the app: respecting prefers-reduced-motion better, preserving draft text for text inputs on the ask_user tool, making it harder to trigger quick navigation, and a bunch of UI polish.

This is just the next step in our endeavours to continually improve Sourcegraph and Agentic Batch Changes.

If you've got any feedback for us, feel free to reach out via [email protected] or the "Provide feedback in-app" option whilst using Agentic Batch Changes.

The Agentic Batch Changes Beta is now available upon request: talk to your account team or schedule a demo to get started.

Improvements

Code Intel Upgrade SCIP to 0.9.0

Upgraded SCIP to version 0.9.0. Deprecated SCIP range fields are normalized into typed ranges when indexes are processed or old documents are loaded.
Agentic Batch Changes Cap how many times a changeset hook fires per changeset

Agentic changeset hooks fire at most a bounded number of times per changeset spec (configurable via maxAttempts on a hook action, default 5, max 20) instead of re-running on every new commit without limit. Applying a new changeset spec grants a fresh attempt budget. The per-step maxAttempts retry field is deprecated and no longer has any effect.
Agentic Batch Changes Support sorting by column in Plan and Resolve tables

Batch Change Agent Plan and Resolve pages now support sorting by column using data table column headers.
Agentic Batch Changes Return changeset code-host URLs from agent tools

The batch change agent now provides direct links to published changesets.
Agentic Batch Changes Show merged/active changeset count on the agent Resolve tab

The Resolve tab on the batch change agent page now shows the number of merged changesets out of the total published.
Agentic Batch Changes Introduce fullscreen workspace panel view

Introduced a fullscreen workspace panel view on Agentic Batch Changes with a new hotkey (alt + f).

This allows you to maximize screen real estate so you can focus on reviewing the diff by collapsing the agent conversation and hiding unnecessary elements.
Agentic Batch Changes Preserve draft text in the agent's inline ask field

The Batch Change agent's inline ask field now preserves in-progress text across page refreshes and conversation reloads.
Agentic Batch Changes Increase workspaces list page size
Agentic Batch Changes Support newest-first sort for changesets

Add "Newest first" sort option for changesets in Agentic Batch Changes
Database Terminate blockers for concurrent index creation

Database migrations that create indexes concurrently now automatically terminate blocking transactions during upgrades, preventing long-running queries from indefinitely blocking index creation.
Repositories Allow rendering all repo nav items if possible

The Compare page is now more readily accessible in the repository navigation bar when screen space permits, instead of being hidden in the "more items" dropdown.
Notifications Allow only a single tab to fetch notifications

Notifications are now fetched by only a single browser tab at a time, reducing unnecessary API calls when multiple tabs are open.

Fixes

Deep Search Exclude cancelled questions from worker error metrics

Fixed Deep Search worker metrics so deleted or canceled questions are no longer counted as processing errors, preventing inflated error rates and unnecessary alerts during low-traffic periods.
Code Intel Fix code graph redirect

Fixed unnecessary page refresh when navigating to a repository's code graph page.
Batch Changes Apply search and creator filters to batch change total count

Fixed batch changes list total count to correctly reflect active search and creator filters, eliminating inconsistent "N total (showing first 0)" states in the UI.
Batch Changes Mark "does not exist in index" push errors as permanent

Batch Changes now classifies gitserver push failures containing does not exist in index as permanent failures. This error occurs when a patch modifies or deletes a file that isn't present in the base revision, so retrying the same patch will always fail. Marking it non-retryable prevents consuming the entire retry budget with repeated force-pushes that will never succeed. A corresponding test case was added in TestIsPermanentPushFailure.
Batch Changes Sign exact gitserver commit

Fixed an issue where GitHub App commit signing could repoint the branch to the wrong commit if the branch ref had moved between commit creation and signing.
Batch Changes Compute changeset check state from latest check runs

Fixed an issue where changesets could incorrectly show a failed check state when GitHub showed checks as passing. Changeset check states now correctly reflect only the latest check run for each check, matching the GitHub UI behavior.
Agentic Batch Changes Show changeset name for push-only changesets

Push-only changesets now display their changeset name and are presented as a pushed branch instead of an empty changeset-styled entry.
Agentic Batch Changes Align UI on "changeset" terminology

The Agentic Batch Changes UI now consistently uses the code-host-neutral term "changeset" instead of "pull request" across GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps.
Agentic Batch Changes Replace cancellation/error retry CTA with continue for long runs

Replaced the Retry button with a continue hint for cancelled or errored Batch Change Agent runs that have already produced work, preventing accidental loss of agent progress when re-submitting the original prompt.
Agentic Batch Changes Skip superseded changeset hook jobs instead of failing them

Superseded changeset hook jobs are now skipped instead of being marked as failed with a misleading error message.
Agentic Batch Changes Reduce animations in thread UI

Reduced animations in the BCA thread UI to eliminate layout shifts and visual jumps when loading or collapsing/expanding the conversation panel.
Agentic Batch Changes Collapse Help and feedback to an icon on narrow toolbars

Collapsed 'Help and feedback' to an icon on narrow panels to prevent overlap with the Plan/Resolve mode picker.
Agentic Batch Changes Hide zero-value diff stats in agent list

Hide the +0 −0 diff stat for batch change agents that have no code changes.
Agentic Batch Changes Show loading state while changeset actions run

Changeset action buttons now show a loading state while an action is running.
Agentic Batch Changes Hide error remediation CTAs for non-owners

Hide error remediation actions like Retry for non-owners viewing shared batch change agents
Agentic Batch Changes Fix workspace navigation and prefetch cache

Fixed workspace navigation in Agentic Batch Changes that was broken due to unresolved prefetch promises when using cache-and-network strategy.
Agentic Batch Changes Show pushed-only commits in Resolve

Fixed issue where branch-only changesets did not correctly show commits in the Resolve tab.
Agentic Batch Changes Fix resize panel expand/collapse restoration

Resize panels now correctly restore their expanded size after collapsing and refreshing the page. Previously, panels would lose their custom size when collapsed and reopened after a page refresh.
Bitbucket Cloud Fix Bitbucket Cloud panic with nil pagetoken

Fixed an issue where fetching all the repositories in a Bitbucket Cloud workspace caused a nil pointer dereference panic.
Cody Fix h3 letter-spacing in VS Code extension

Fixed h3 letter-spacing in VS Code extension
UI Fix page layout truncation with long saved search names

Fixed page layout breaking with horizontal scroll when saved search names are too long
VSCode Fix file path resolution in worktrees

Fixed file path resolution in worktree folders when symlinks are present.
Changelog Improve in-product quote styling
Enterprise Portal Preserve newlines in broadcast emails

Broadcast message emails now preserve line breaks.
