Arc 1.7.1
Arc 1.7 makes managed-agent work durable across daemon restarts and long-running tasks. Resume interrupted sessions with their transcript, file history, and work context intact, while stronger completion checks and safer background commands help agents finish cleanly.
Previous release
Work that survives interruptions
Windows 10/11 (64-bit), or macOS 11+ on Apple Silicon.
Highlights
- Resume an interrupted managed-agent session from Work. Arc restores its transcript, prior turns, and workspace change history, and clearly marks any in-flight turn as interrupted.
- Long-running sessions preserve more context through compaction checkpoints and write durable summaries only after turns and jobs are truly finished, so resumed work starts with an honest record.
- Commands that run longer than 15 seconds can continue in the background with live, pageable output. On Windows, Stop and session shutdown clean up the entire owned process tree.
- Safe Workspace agents can make exact text replacements with conflict checks, reviewed-byte approval binding, durable change receipts, file history, and Undo.
Fixes and refinements
- Completion now waits for observable room tasks, recorded plans, and structured Done-when requirements instead of accepting a premature finish.
- Repeated no-progress work now stops with a clear outcome, while user waits, approvals, verification pauses, backoff, and infrastructure problems remain distinct.
- Packaged builds now carry a verified TLS certificate store for hosted providers and licensing, avoiding failures caused by missing system certificate paths while keeping certificate verification enabled.
- Concurrent managed sessions now update file history more reliably on Windows, preventing a same-process lock race during overlapping workspace changes.
System requirements
