Remove obsolete Office markdown editor UI and handoff code now that Markdown lives in the dedicated Editor surface.
Harden the Editor modal so it opens directly into a Markdown draft and rebinds Ace to the visible root when switching surfaces.
Make Browser address Enter navigation explicit and update the canvas setup expectations for the slimmer Office shell.
Expand the dedicated Editor surface with safe rendered preview mode, ACE-backed source editing, browser-style tabs, toolbar/file actions, preview search, and richer Markdown rendering for code blocks, task lists, images, tables, math, local links, and footnotes.
Keep open Markdown files synchronized with the active context and saved tool edits, including live refresh for document_artifact and text_editor results without routing Markdown through Desktop/Office.
Add inline preview-page editing, clickable preview task-list checkboxes, source editor rehydration after preview-mode refreshes, and regression coverage for the new editor wiring and sync behavior.
Add a builtin _editor plugin that owns Markdown API/WebSocket sessions, canvas and modal UI, live refresh, tabs, prompt Extras for active-context open files, inline close confirmation, and Close All handling.
Route Markdown document artifacts to Editor while keeping Office/Desktop focused on LibreOffice formats, and update Desktop/Office prompts, menus, compatibility shims, and regression coverage.
Treat live usr runtime artifacts as non-blocking during self-update backups. Skip sockets, device nodes, vanished files, and unreadable entries with log messages so update rollback checks are not tripped by active Desktop profile state.
Migrate retired /usr/_office and /usr/_desktop trees from plugin startup into /usr/plugins/<plugin>. Update office document storage, desktop session/runtime paths, and context-scoped screenshots to use the plugin-owned state layout. Add focused tests for retired-state migration and the new path behavior.
Render custom per-chat model overrides in the model switcher instead of hiding them behind a generic Custom label.
Mark model override updates dirty so an already-open Web UI refreshes after CLI or Web UI changes, without exposing API key values in labels.
Add focused regression coverage for switcher rendering hooks and state-sync notifications.
Register Nebius Token Factory as an OpenAI-compatible chat provider using the Token Factory API base URL and NEBIUS_API_KEY-derived provider id.
Expose Nebius in onboarding metadata and add static coverage for the provider endpoint and UI listing.
Route host/local browser requests through the Browser tool instead of desktop or shell fallbacks. Add remote-debugging setup guidance to Browser runtime errors and document the exact Chrome inspect setting in prompts, skills, and Web UI copy.
Teach the Browser content helper to ignore global/delegated framework event bindings so snapshots surface the actual actionable controls instead of broad wrapper elements. Add an accessible name to the Browser address bar for more reliable capture output.
Allow agents to use selector-based reference actions, coordinate click fallbacks, focused-field typing, and string key chords such as CTRL+A across the browser tool, container runtime, and host connector runtime. Cover the behavior with browser regression and host connector tests.
Make file creation opt-in through document_artifact, move document file cards to final responses, and keep the tool payload as a quiet execution record.
Deduplicate response cards by file identity, refresh open Desktop canvas sessions after saved edits, and harden document_artifact edit input normalization for common append/update shapes.
Update prompts, skills, styles, and regression coverage for response-only file actions and explicit-only canvas opening.
Detect stalled automatic history compression so the prompt-prep wait loop cannot spin forever when no further reduction is possible.
Split large manual chat compaction input by verified token budget instead of line midpoint, covering single-line 85k+ character histories.
Add regression tests for stalled compression, max-pass bailout, and large single-line compaction chunking.

Issue: "Unauthenticated Path-Containment Bypass in Agent Zero `/api/image_get`"
https://github.com/agent0ai/agent-zero/issues/1609
Resolve the path-containment bypass in /api/image_get by resolving requested images against the Agent Zero base directory before serving them, including symlink-aware validation and the development RFC fallback path.
Harden SVG and SVGZ responses with nosniff and a sandboxed CSP so uploaded SVGs cannot execute scripts in the Agent Zero origin. Add focused regressions for outside paths, symlink escapes, SVG headers, and development-mode remote validation.
Reset the custom API base URL whenever the provider dropdown changes so stale endpoints do not carry across provider tests. Move the chat Supports Vision toggle out of Advanced Settings while keeping dependent vision settings, such as Max embeds, inside Advanced.
Validate and persist API chat lifetime: lifetime_hours is validated as a positive number and stored in the AgentContext data, and context.last_message is set using UTC. Removed the in-class threading-based cleanup state and old _cleanup_expired_chats method. Introduced a new job-loop extension (extensions/python/job_loop/_20_cleanup_expired_api_chats.py) that periodically scans AgentContext instances and removes expired API chats (using persist_chat.remove_chat) in a UTC-aware manner. Added tests (tests/test_api_chat_lifetime.py) to verify lifetime persistence and that the job loop removes expired chats.
Rename high-impact skills to task-oriented names and move plugin-owned skills into their owning plugin folders.\n\nAlign renamed skill frontmatter with the official SKILL.md standard by keeping trigger language in name/description metadata, replacing the old create-skill wizard with build-skill, and updating browser, A0 connector, computer-use, CLI setup, and scheduler skill references.\n\nTighten the recurring cross-provider guidance gaps surfaced by the evidence sweeps: memory requests now avoid promptinclude-file routing, scheduler prompts distinguish cron schedules from planned ISO dates, document questions prefer document_query, skills_tool search/read_file usage is clearer, normal notifications set info/priority 10, and local/host text editors preserve patch intent.\n\nUpdate regression tests for the renamed skills, plugin ownership, prompt budget reality, and standard frontmatter shape.
Allow the Linux Desktop state collector to report a healthy canvas when XFCE has no active application window, as long as the display, visible windows, and screenshots are available.
Document the readiness rule in the linux-desktop skill and add regression coverage for the bare-desktop active_window=null case.
Standardize multi-action tools around tool_args.action while keeping parser compatibility for older tool/args, tool_name:action, and method-shaped requests. This keeps new prompts clean without breaking agents that learned the previous dialect.
Move A0 connector remote execution/file tools into stable standard prompts, make remote targeting independent of the active chat context, and skill-gate beta computer-use remote so it no longer weighs down the always-on tool list.
Align text editor, scheduler, skills, office artifact, memory, notify, and browser prompts/tools around the canonical action contract. Add scheduler update/timezone handling, skills_tool read_file, text editor patch coverage, and fixes for memory_forget, behaviour_adjustment, and code execution progress warnings.
Reduce default prompt pressure by compacting browser and scheduler prompts into skill-backed manifests, shortening skill catalog descriptions, and pruning noisy framework knowledge. Remove obsolete connector prompt stubs and root tool-call knowledge examples.

Default Bring Your Own Browser mode to the existing browser profile while exposing a clean Agent profile option in Browser settings with a clear warning for existing-profile access.
Forward the selected profile mode through the connector browser runtime, tolerate legacy config modules and old saved configs, and update regression coverage for the new payload shape.
Introduce a guided Cloud versus Local first-run modal with provider selection, account connection, model picking, and a ready state.\n\nAdd the reusable discovery auto-modal trigger, chat-created startup checks, onboarding-owned provider presentation metadata and assets, OAuth affordances, local provider guidance, and model-search hardening.\n\nKeep runtime provider data centralized while preserving onboarding-specific copy, logos, and docs links in the onboarding plugin.

Configure Ollama Cloud as an OpenAI-compatible chat provider with the hosted API base and model listing endpoint.\n\nAdd a focused provider config test so the integration stays key-required and keeps the expected /models endpoint.
Save a static JPEG for each Browser tool call in the chat history folder and render that immutable image in transcript screenshot previews. Keep live Browser surface attachment available through stored browser/context metadata, and ignore generated Playwright CLI artifacts.
Attach the Browser canvas to active Docker sessions by returning an initial snapshot on subscribe and preserving valid frames through state-only updates. Route Markdown document opens through the right-canvas Desktop editor instead of the legacy office modal. Skip automatic office document response affordances for subordinate agents so delegated reviews keep their actual content.
Replace the combined A0 CLI remote workflow skill with separate text-editor and code-execution remote skills, update tool stubs to load the matching per-tool guide, and keep computer-use remote scoped to desktop control. Add prompt-gating coverage for the per-affordance skill split.
Add a protected connector endpoint for reading and updating the Browser plugin runtime backend so the A0 CLI can switch between Docker browser and Bring Your Own Browser mode. Keep legacy host_when_available values normalized to host_required, move the host/container setting to the top of Browser settings, and cover the config normalization path.
Remove the ambiguous Use host when ready option from the Browser plugin settings and present the host-required path as Bring Your Own Browser. Add concise Chrome/Chromium remote-debugging guidance, normalize legacy host_when_available values to the BYOB setting, and make missing host-browser connector setup a repairable error with regression coverage.
Move URL normalization into Agent Zero-owned Browser helper code and expose the content helper's required API contract from the shared asset. Normalize host-browser open/navigate payloads before they cross into the connector, including nested multi actions, and add regression coverage for helper payload delivery and URL edge cases.
Make the Browser plugin the source of truth for browser-page-content.js by attaching its source and sha256 to host-browser operations when the CLI has no matching helper hash. Store the helper hash in connector metadata and cover the routing/ensure path in tests.
Store and surface host-browser preparation and CDP endpoint metadata from A0 CLI.
Let Browser runtime prepare candidate CLIs before the first action, and keep host-required errors more actionable.
Simplify Host Browser settings language and document the Chrome remote-debugging consent flow.
Integrate host-browser routing into the existing Browser tool. Store connector host-browser metadata, add pending browser op resolution, select connector runtimes from Browser settings, enforce host-content privacy policy, support automatic host preparation, and document the A0 CLI host-browser flow.
Run a best-effort uv cache clean when the durable self-update manager consumes an update request. Cover uv-present, uv-missing, and cleanup-failure paths with focused tests, and document the new self-update step.
Delete the Browser plugin's injected bottom-action button so it no longer appears under the chat input while preserving the rest of the Browser surface entry points.
Update the browser regression coverage to assert the chat action stays absent.
Remove stale runtime directories and expand retired package coverage for startup/self-update cleanup.
Discover installed collaboraoffice* split packages dynamically so future package-name changes are still purged, and extend Office cleanup tests for the legacy /opt paths, known leftover packages, idempotency, and marker rerun behavior.
Use /a0/tmp/playwright as the Browser plugin Chromium cache and Docker install target while preserving full Chromium installs.
Add startup migration cleanup for retired usr Playwright caches, update Browser status/runtime references and docs, and cover migration behavior with focused regressions.
Allow display_time=0 to create persistent grouped toasts that remain until dismissed or replaced.
Show immediate grouped Preparing download and Downloading feedback for backup ZIPs and file-browser directory/bulk ZIP downloads, with error replacement and focused static coverage.
Track active Desktop runtime preparation in the _desktop hook, expose installing status through Desktop session status, and have the Desktop frontend poll with a neutral install message instead of showing missing dependencies while packages are still being installed after an update.
Run Office and Desktop apt operations through a shared in-process retry guard so startup/self-update hooks wait out transient apt locks instead of failing early. Include LibreOffice runtime packages in Desktop preparation because Desktop status and Writer/Calc/Impress launch paths require soffice, and cover both behaviors with regression tests.
Refine the Linux Desktop skill so agents distinguish shell prompts from target CLI prompts before sending natural-language input.
Use a generic nested CLI-agent launch pattern with TARGET_CLI and optional FALLBACK_CMD instead of Codex-specific instructions, and add canvas setup assertions to keep the guidance generic.
Adds the explicit browser:screenshot action that writes JPEG/PNG files for vision_load, extends agent-callable Browser input actions, and documents the explicit vision workflow.
Adds the browser-forms on-demand skill and regression coverage for dispatch, runtime screenshot files, ref point resolution, upload path normalization, prompt discoverability, and label-wrapped form controls surfaced by the chat-driven E2E.
Keep Browser modal activation passive when switching from Desktop by reusing existing Browser sessions instead of creating a blank tab on viewer subscribe.
Add a Focus mode control to the Browser modal header matching Desktop's fullscreen/restore behavior.
Cover the passive subscribe path and Browser modal focus button in regression tests.
Keep one Xpra Desktop iframe alive across canvas, modal, and keepalive hosts instead of unloading it during normal UI handoffs. Add intentional shutdown/restart state so explicit shutdown is treated as closed, not crashed.
Add the desktop_shutdown Office API path, backend system-desktop shutdown cleanup, and an XFCE panel Shutdown Desktop launcher that requires a second click before writing the shutdown request marker. Hide unsafe logout, lock, and switch-user affordances and cover the lifecycle with focused tests.
Remove the fixed right-canvas width limits so the panel can shrink to zero and grow across the available workspace.
Add Browser/Desktop surface-switch buttons to modal headers using the same registered surface metadata as the canvas controls, while preserving modal-mode preference and dock-to-canvas behavior.
Add regression coverage for the unlimited canvas sizing and modal surface switcher controls.
Add a desktop_state helper, expanded desktopctl observe-act-verify commands, backend desktop_state support, Extra prompt state, and Xpra bridge diagnostics for the built-in Linux Desktop.
Update the Linux Desktop skill so agents prefer structured/app-native/keyboard workflows, treat coordinate clicks as last resort, and verify terminal or CLI-agent work with fresh final screenshots. Cover the behavior with focused Office desktop state, canvas setup, and office_session tests.
Promote LibreOffice-native ODT, ODS, and ODP as first-class defaults for Writer, Spreadsheet, and Presentation while keeping OOXML as explicit compatibility formats.
Add ODF package generation, validation, read/edit support, and focused tests for Markdown, ODT, ODS, ODP, DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX artifact behavior.
Reduce automatic document response triggering so meta-discussions about generated files do not create artifacts, while explicit file and canvas requests still work through the intended Markdown editor or Desktop affordance.
Preserve the native A0 browser launcher, sync the live container, and validate the flow with real chats and Playwright.
Make the Office canvas mount passive so Xpra starts only when the Desktop surface is opened or an official Office document is created/opened.
Track Desktop host visibility to unload hidden frames, stop monitors, dedupe viewport resize work, and set Xpra offscreen mode according to HTTPS support. Add a near-future note for the tunnel memory footprint.
Show Office desktop startup progress
Display a loading message while the Agent Zero Desktop environment is starting or restarting, so the right-canvas Desktop button gives immediate feedback before Xpra finishes waking up.
Detect cached Playwright contexts that have already closed before reusing the browser runtime.
Clear stale browser pages, popup waiters, screencasts, and interaction state; stop the old Playwright instance; and restart cleanly on next use. Add regression coverage for stale context recovery and unexpected context close events.
