What AI coding users need right now

84 issues: Fix 1M context features (WebSearch, subagents) to work on Max plan without requiring extra usage toggle; Fix continue command to respect workflow phases and resume from the correct step rather than skipping ahead; Fix disproportionate session budget consumption for CLI shell executions and sub-tasks

Users are experiencing critical stability issues with long-lived CLI sessions, including data loss on exit, memory leaks causing system freezes, orphaned child processes, and crashes when handling long chat histories. These issues undermine trust in the tool for important work, as users risk losing progress and context when sessions become unstable.

Users want granular control over AI assistant behavior per project/mode, including per-mode auto-approve settings, MCP server access controls, and custom model/provider handling. This includes fixing issues with custom model names, temperature defaults, and AWS Bedrock caching, while adding new features like external skill repository imports and MCP tool allowlisting.

Users are reporting multiple bugs affecting the command-line and terminal user interface experience, including platform-specific issues (particularly on Windows), UI state synchronization problems when switching between modes, tool execution hangs and parsing failures, and display/rendering issues in terminal environments. These issues collectively degrade the reliability and usability of the CLI/TUI for daily development workflows.

Users are requesting better error handling across various failure scenarios including missing configurations, network failures, invalid data, and dependency issues. Additionally, there are requests to improve CLI argument validation, add non-interactive single-pass execution modes for automation, and fix cross-platform compatibility issues with Windows glob patterns.

Users are experiencing bugs across multiple IDE features including language tooling, UI interactions, and AI integrations. These issues range from crashes and incorrect behavior to performance degradation, all of which degrade the overall development experience. Addressing these bugs would significantly improve the reliability and usability of the IDE.
