Ocean v0.9.2 — What’s New

Released: 2026-04-03

Shell Passthrough

You can now type in the terminal while Claude is thinking. When Claude Code is waiting for input or processing, Ocean passes your keystrokes through to the shell instead of buffering them. This means you can run quick commands, check git status, or browse files without waiting for the agent to finish.

Ocean Agent API

Ocean now exposes an MCP server that AI models can call directly. The Agent API lets external tools query session state, trigger merges, and read conflict data — turning Ocean into a programmable backend for agent orchestration workflows.

Git Fetch Remote for Pre-Push Sync

A new fetch_remote utility runs automatically before push operations, ensuring your local branch is in sync with the remote. This prevents failed pushes due to diverged history and reduces manual git pull steps in agent-driven workflows.

Sync Commands

New context menu options for workspace management:

Sync from source — pull latest changes from the original repo into the workspace base
Sync base to session — push workspace base state into a specific session overlay

Security Hardening

A comprehensive security review addressed critical and high severity issues:

Token safety improvements for OAuth credential handling
Path validation hardening for sync commands
Failure logging for audit trail completeness
Session dirty-check exception handling

Bug Fixes

Dismissed conflicts — conflicts you dismiss no longer reappear on the next poll cycle
Sidebar session click — clicking a session in the sidebar now correctly switches the terminal view for ungrouped sessions
Apple notarization — release signing flow now includes proper macOS notarization
Token caching — Rust-side token caching for OAuth usage metrics
