# 9 October: explicit tool mode, allowlisted commands back, Compute and chat fixes 2026-10-09 · Product > Chats use an explicit tool mode. The allowlisted-commands approval mode is available again, and Compute handles restore and previews more reliably. Added on 23 October 2026 from the repository history. Ten deploys ran on this day. *Approval modes in a chat. Diagram from the docs.* Text version Between asking every time and accepting edits automatically, a chat can run the commands on your allowlist without asking and still ask about everything else. ## New - Chat tool mode is explicit. Plain text conversations stay plain text. - Allowlisted commands mode is available in the chat settings, with a Command allowlist card in Settings. - Compute shows safe previews of NAS files and a verified workload lifecycle. Restoring a workspace and opening SSH access are coordinated across browser tabs. - Attachments and composer tips follow the workspace design. Chat tools and the workspace share the same motion. ## Fixed - Saved messages are reconciled against the terminal history. Workspace changes are guarded, and model capacity is described more clearly. - Tools on the second worker work again, and worker runtime sockets keep the right ownership.
