Nexus v1.1.0 Release Notes

🎉 Highlights

Nexus 1.1.0 is a major upgrade that transforms Nexus from a chat-only tool into a real coding agent that can actually build things:

  • ✅ Multi-turn agent loop (50 iterations of think → act → observe)
  • ✅ Git stage/unstage/discard from within the app
  • ✅ Project context from AGENTS.md/.cursorrules/CLAUDE.md
  • ✅ Onboarding experience for new users
  • ✅ Fix for the "bridge error" that plagued earlier builds
  • ✅ Fix for disappearing chat responses

🆕 What's New

Agent Loop v2

The agent can now perform complex multi-step tasks:

You: "Build a Next.js blog with admin panel"
Nexus: → reads project structure (glob/grep)
       → creates package.json (write)
       → creates pages (write)
       → creates components (write)
       → runs npm install (bash)
       → shows all changes (diff)

Git Operations

Stage, unstage, or discard changes directly from the diff viewer:

  • stage_file — Add file to git staging area
  • unstage_file — Remove file from staging area
  • discard_changes — Revert file to last commit
  • list_unstaged_files — List all modified files

Project Context

Nexus now reads and respects project configuration files:

  • AGENTS.md — Project-specific agent instructions
  • .cursorrules — Cursor IDE rules (compatible)
  • CLAUDE.md — Claude Code project config (compatible)
  • .nexus.md — Nexus-specific configuration

Onboarding Page

Beautiful first-time user experience:

  • Large "Add Local Directory" button
  • "Clone Repository" coming soon
  • Clear description of what Nexus can do

Sidebar Improvements

  • Footer with always-visible "Project" button
  • Connection status indicator (green dot)
  • Project switcher always visible when multiple projects exist

🐛 Notable Bug Fixes

  1. Bridge script path resolution — Fixed bridge.mjs not being found when app is launched from different directories or read-only DMG mounts
  2. Disappearing chat bubbles — Fixed race condition where streaming content was cleared before disk reload
  3. Double assistant messages — Fixed duplicate message creation during save cycle
  4. Session disappearing after send — Fixed syncSessions() resetting active session ID
  5. Save settings crash — Fixed argument mismatch when calling save_settings

📊 Stats

  • 571 tests passing (no regressions)
  • ~18MB desktop binary
  • 1262 lines of Rust code
  • 100% TypeScript strict mode
  • MIT licensed
