- Task header can now be collapsed to provide more space for viewing conversations
- Adds fuzzy search and sorting to Task History, making it easier to find specific tasks
- Commands now run directly in your terminal thanks to VSCode 1.93's new shell integration updates! Plus a new 'Proceed While Running' button to let Claude continue working while commands run, sending him new output along the way (i.e. letting him react to server errors as he edits files)
