* docs(desktop): add Remote Development over SSH guide
Adds a Cline Desktop page that walks first-time SSH users through
creating a key, installing it on the host, trusting the host key, then
adding the host under Settings > Remote, connecting from the environment
selector, and opening a remote project. Includes GIFs and screenshots
captured from the app, a limitations list, a troubleshooting table for
the SSH errors the status panel surfaces, and a short how-it-works
section. Links the page from the Cline Desktop overview and nav.
* docs(desktop): nest the SSH guide under a Cline Desktop group
Follows the Kanban pattern: the existing overview page becomes the
group's first entry with sidebarTitle Overview, and the SSH page sits
beneath it as Remote over SSH.
* docs(desktop): embed the SSH walkthrough clips as MP4 instead of GIF
Same footage re-encoded from the original recordings as H.264 at
1280x800: 323 KB and 428 KB instead of 2.7 MB and 3.5 MB, with full
color instead of a 256-color palette. Embedded with the same <video>
markup the auto-approve and multi-root pages use. Squash merge keeps
the GIF blobs out of main.
* feat(branding): add canonical Cline logo assets
* feat(vscode): refresh extension logo surfaces
* feat(web): update Hub and example branding
* docs: update Mintlify branding assets
* build(brand): lock asset generator tooling
* chore(branding): limit logo refresh to assets and required wiring
* fix(vscode): restore accessible logo names
* fix(branding): retain favicon contrast in dark browser tabs
* [2/3] Refresh desktop logo assets (#13966)
* chore(desktop): refresh native logo assets
* chore(menubar): refresh native logo assets (#13967)
part of logo migration
* docs: use latest adjusted navigation logo
* fix(hub): keep favicon visible in dark browser tabs
Point the Hub favicon at the dedicated favicon.svg and give it the same
prefers-color-scheme fallback as the example app. cline-logo-filled.svg
stays untouched since the sidebar renders it with dark:invert.

* docs(cli): add supply-chain scan alerts sample
Walkthrough for scheduling the Cline CLI to run Perplexity's Bumblebee
scanner and deliver compromise alerts to Telegram. Covers installing the
CLI, cloning/building Bumblebee and how it stays read-only, the Telegram
connector, and creating a scheduled scan that texts a clean/alert verdict.
* docs(cli): drop unsupported --delivery-thread from supply-chain sample
* docs(sdk): remove Runtime Choices from overview, rename runtime to session-management
The SDK overview page had a prominent "Runtime Choices" section with an
"Agent vs ClineCore" comparison table and CTA link front and center.
New users don't have the context to make that decision on the overview
page. Removed that section entirely so the overview flows cleanly from
install to snippet to next steps.
Renamed sdk/runtime.mdx to sdk/session-management.mdx with updated
title and sidebar label to frame the page around session management
rather than two competing class names. Updated all nav entries and
redirects in docs.json.
* docs(sdk): rename runtime page to ClineCore, reframe as full harness
Renamed sdk/runtime.mdx to sdk/clinecore.mdx. Reframed the page to
lead with ClineCore as the full Cline harness, with Agent explained
at the bottom as the primitive you use when you want to skip the
harness. All original content preserved, just reordered so ClineCore
sections come first. Updated nav and redirects in docs.json.
* docs: add comprehensive SDK documentation as top-level tab
Adds 27 new documentation pages for the Cline SDK (@clinebot/core,
@clinebot/agents, @clinebot/llms, @clinebot/shared) organized into
a dedicated "SDK" tab in the Mintlify docs navigation.
Structure:
- Getting Started: overview, quickstart, examples
- Core Concepts: agents, sessions, tools, streaming/events, extensions,
hooks, providers/models
- Guides: building an agent, custom tools, writing extensions, permission
handling, scheduled agents, multi-agent teams, connectors, production
- Architecture: layered stack overview, hub-spoke RPC, package reference
- API Reference: ClineCore, Agent, Gateway, Tools API, Events, Types
- CLI: commands, configuration, connector setup
Removes the old single-page SDK overview (cline-sdk/overview.md) that
documented the previous ACP-based ClineAgent API, and removes its
reference from the Cline CLI navigation group.
* docs: fix SDK docs review feedback
- Change "desktop app" to "JetBrains plugin" in overview (not released yet)
- Rename "Providers & Models" to "Model Providers"
- Rename "Streaming & Events" to "Streaming Events"
- Remove duplicate cli/connectors.mdx (guides/connectors.mdx covers everything)
* docs: add wizard commands, Discord connector, and platform credential details
* feat(docs): create CLI tab with new feature pages and updated reference
- Add CLI as its own top-level tab in docs navigation
- Remove CLI group from Docs tab and SDK tab
- Delete SDK CLI pages (content moved to CLI tab)
- Add new feature pages: connectors, scheduling, MCP servers, agent teams
- Rewrite cli-reference.mdx with all new commands (connect, mcp, schedule,
rpc, checkpoint, doctor) and new flags (reasoning-effort, thinking,
sandbox, teams, spawn, tool-enable/disable, autoapprove)
- Update configuration.mdx with new directory structure, env vars
(CLINE_DATA_DIR, CLINE_RPC_ADDRESS, CLINE_SESSION_BACKEND_MODE,
CLINE_SANDBOX), and MCP wizard reference
* docs: rename Docs tab to Extension and reorder tabs
Tab order: Extension, CLI, SDK, Kanban, Enterprise, API, Learn
* docs: simplify SDK install to single @clinebot/core package
@clinebot/core re-exports from agents, llms, and shared, so users
only need one install and one import source. Updated all getting-started,
quickstart, examples, and guide pages to import from @clinebot/core.
Concept and reference pages keep individual package imports since they
document those specific packages.
* docs: use @clinebot/sdk as the primary install and import path
@clinebot/sdk is an alias for @clinebot/core that re-exports from all
packages. All user-facing pages (overview, quickstart, examples, guides)
now show npm install @clinebot/sdk and import from @clinebot/sdk.
Architecture and reference pages keep individual package names since
they document the internal package structure.
* docs: rename Extension tab to Cline
* docs: fix packages page and merge duplicate imports
* fix: use getting-started page in CLI tab nav and remove conflicting redirect
* docs: rename CLI Getting Started page title to Overview
* docs: rename cline-cli/ to cli/ and cline-sdk/ to sdk/
Shorter, cleaner URL paths. Updated all internal links across every
doc page and added 44 redirects for old paths so existing URLs
don't break.
* docs: update hub-spoke architecture from gRPC/RPC to WebSockets
- Rewrite hub-spoke.mdx: WebSocket protocol, capability brokerage,
spoke workers, session participants, hub daemon discovery
- Replace all RPC/gRPC/sidecar references with hub/WebSocket across
all SDK and CLI docs
- Backend modes: local/hub/remote/auto (was local/rpc/auto)
- Hub command replaces rpc command (cline hub start/stop/status/ensure)
- Default port 25463 (was 4317), log file hub-daemon.log
- Remove @clinebot/rpc and @clinebot/scheduler from architecture docs
(functionality absorbed into @clinebot/core)
- Update ClineCore reference to remove rpc options
- Add capability brokerage and session participant concepts

plugins guide. Cover all three source types (npm, git, local), the
package.json manifest format with cline.plugins field, host-provided
dependency handling, auto-detection logic, and the install directory
structure.
Reference cline/typescript-lsp-plugin as a concrete install example.
* docs: deduplicate plugin install docs
Trim redundant plugin install content from CLI reference, SDK plugins
concept page, and writing-plugins guide. Each now links to the
customization/plugins page as the single source of truth for manifest
format, install commands, and directory layout.
* further simplify the doc
* further clean up
* mark warnings
* docs: rename @clinebot to @cline and clite to cline
SDK packages moved to the @cline npm org. Update all docs references
to use @cline/sdk, @cline/agents, @cline/core, @cline/shared, @cline/llms
and the cline CLI binary name.
* docs: streamline SDK docs with example references (#10617)
* docs: streamline SDK docs with example references and @cline/sdk imports
Replace large standalone code blobs in SDK docs with references to
working examples in the SDK repository. Users can now clone and run
real code instead of copy-pasting from docs.

* docs(rules): Initial thoughts on docs for conditional rules.
* docs: restructure Cline Rules documentation into nested structure
Reorganize Cline Rules documentation by:
- Creating a "Cline Rules" group with overview and conditional-rules pages
- Moving conditional-rules.mdx into features/cline-rules/ subdirectory
- Adding URL redirects for backward compatibility
- Streamlining conditional-rules content for clarity and conciseness
- Adding cross-reference link to the overview page
This improves documentation navigation by grouping related rule concepts together and makes the content more accessible with clearer, more concise explanations.
* docs(cline-rules): consolidate rule file format documentation
Reorganize and expand the documentation for supported rule file formats:
- Add new "Supported Rule Files" section with comprehensive table
- Document cross-tool compatibility (Cursor, Windsurf, AGENTS.md)
- Clarify file priority and loading behavior
- Remove separate AGENTS.md section and integrate into unified table
This improves discoverability by showing all supported formats in one
place and makes it clearer how Cline works with rules from different AI
coding tools.

* feat: add git worktree management UI
Adds a worktrees view accessible from the navbar that allows users to:
- View all existing worktrees with their branch and path info
- Create new worktrees from local/remote branches or new branches
- Switch between worktrees (opens folder in VS Code)
- Delete worktrees with confirmation
Implementation includes:
- New proto definitions for worktree service RPCs
- Controller handlers for CRUD operations
- Git worktree utility functions
- WorktreesView React component with full UI
- Navbar integration with worktree button
* feat: enhance worktree creation error handling in WorktreesView
Adds error state management for worktree creation in the WorktreesView component. Introduces a new state variable to capture and display error messages when worktree creation fails, improving user feedback during the process.
* feat: add worktree defaults retrieval to WorktreeService and UI
Introduces a new RPC method `getWorktreeDefaults` to fetch suggested defaults for branch names and paths when creating new worktrees. Updates the WorktreesView component to utilize this method, enhancing the user experience by auto-generating branch names and paths. Additionally, integrates tooltips for improved UI interactions and adds a close button to the worktree creation modal.
* feat: implement .worktreeinclude file management in WorktreeService
Adds new RPC methods to the WorktreeService for managing .worktreeinclude files, including retrieving the status of the file and creating it with specified content. Updates the WorktreesView component to handle the creation and status checking of .worktreeinclude, enhancing user experience by automating file management for worktrees. Additionally, modifies the UI to reflect these changes, including updated tooltips and improved error handling.
* feat: add checkout branch functionality to WorktreeService and UI
Introduces a new RPC method `checkoutBranch` to the WorktreeService for switching branches within the current worktree. Updates the WorktreesView component to support this functionality, enhancing user experience by allowing seamless branch switching. Additionally, refines the UI layout for better responsiveness and improves loading/error state handling.
* feat: reposition New Worktree button for improved UI layout
Moves the New Worktree button to a fixed position at the bottom of the WorktreesView component, enhancing accessibility and user experience. The button is now styled to occupy the full width, ensuring better visibility and interaction within the UI.
* feat: update documentation links in WorktreesView component
Modifies the documentation links in the WorktreesView component to point to the correct feature sections, ensuring users have access to accurate resources. Additionally, adds the "features/worktrees" entry in the documentation JSON for better organization.
* feat: add worktree merging functionality and UI enhancements
Introduces a new feature for merging worktrees, allowing users to merge changes from a worktree's branch into the main branch with options to delete the worktree post-merge. Updates the WorktreesView component to include a merge modal, handling merge conflicts, and integrating with the WorktreeService for seamless operations. Additionally, enhances documentation to reflect these changes.
* refactor: replace exec with simple-git for worktree operations
Refactors the worktree management code to utilize the simple-git library instead of child_process exec for executing Git commands. This change enhances code readability and maintainability by providing a more streamlined interface for Git operations in the checkoutBranch, mergeWorktree, and git-worktree modules. Additionally, it improves error handling and reduces the complexity of command execution.
* feat: enhance mergeWorktree functionality to check target worktree status
Implements a check for uncommitted changes in the target worktree before merging, ensuring that users are informed if the target branch has uncommitted changes. This update improves error handling and user feedback during the merge process by verifying the state of both the source and target worktrees. Additionally, it integrates the listWorktrees utility to identify the correct worktree for the target branch.
* refactor: optimize worktree loading to prevent UI flickering
Enhances the loadWorktrees function in WorktreesView to only update the component's state if the fetched data has changed, reducing unnecessary re-renders and preventing flickering. This change improves the user experience by providing a smoother interface when loading worktrees. Additionally, simplifies the polling mechanism for updates.
* feat: update merge conflict display and task creation flow in WorktreesView
Enhances the merge conflict notification by providing a clearer list of conflicting files, including a summary for additional files. Additionally, modifies the task creation flow to close the worktrees view upon task creation, improving user experience during the merge process.
* fix: improve tooltip functionality and clean up WorktreesView component
Enhances the tooltip for the current worktree indicator to provide additional context for users. Additionally, removes the display of commit hashes in the worktree list to streamline the UI, improving overall clarity and user experience.
* feat: add symlink functionality for .worktreeinclude to sync with .gitignore
Introduces a new section in the documentation explaining how to create a symlink from .gitignore to .worktreeinclude. This allows users to automatically sync patterns between the two files, simplifying worktree setup. Additionally, includes a note for users needing different patterns to create a regular .worktreeinclude file instead.
* fix: simplify merge request button in WorktreesView component
Removes the "Merge" text from the button label in the WorktreesView component, streamlining the user interface. This change focuses on clarity by allowing the button to simply prompt users to "Ask Cline to Resolve," enhancing the overall user experience during merge conflict resolution.

* Fixes docs not rendering
* perf(worktree): optimize file copying for .worktreeinclude
Address performance feedback - worktree creation was taking ~20 seconds
for large directories like node_modules (50k+ files).
Optimizations:
- Use native `cp -r` for entire directories (10-20x faster)
- Parallelize file copying with batches of 100 (5-10x faster)
- Parallelize directory traversal with Promise.all
The old implementation copied files sequentially which caused the
bottleneck. Now directories like node_modules are copied using the
system's native cp command, and individual files are copied in
parallel batches.
Also adds unit tests for the worktree-include module.
* feat(worktree): add multi-root and subfolder workspace warnings
- Detect and warn when multiple workspace folders are open (worktrees not supported in multi-root)
- Detect and warn when a subfolder of a git repo is open instead of the root, showing the actual git root path
- Fix UI overflow on narrow widths by using min-h-32 instead of fixed h-32

* feat(worktree): auto-open Cline sidebar on worktree launch
When switching to a worktree via quick launch button, automatically
open the Cline sidebar in the new/reloaded window. Uses globalState
to pass the target path between windows, reading directly from
context.globalState at startup to bypass StateManager cache timing.

- Update proto, handler, and UI to support delete_branch option
* fix: remove worktrees menu button from sidebar
Remove the worktrees button from the VS Code extension menu bar.
* fix(ui): temporarily disable new worktree button, add tooltip to current worktree
Comment out "New Worktree Window" button until worktree creation is stable.
Add tooltip to current worktree info with "View and manage git worktrees.
Great for running parallel Cline tasks."
* feat: add worktree-exp feature flag for worktrees feature
Put the worktrees feature behind a feature flag (worktree-exp) that
defaults to false. When enabled, users can toggle the feature in
settings. The home page worktree section only shows when both the
feature flag is enabled and the user setting is on.
* feat: add telemetry for worktree feature usage
Track worktree feature engagement:
- worktree.view_opened: when users open worktrees view (with source)
- worktree.created: when worktrees are created (with total count)
- worktree.merge_attempted: when merge is attempted (success/conflicts)

* feat: add auto-recovery for corrupted task history state
Add automatic reconstruction of task history when JSON parsing fails.
Changes:
- Modified `reconstructTaskHistory()` to return reconstruction result or null
- Enhanced `readTaskHistoryFromState()` with automatic corruption recovery
- Added recursive reconstruction attempt with loop prevention flag
- Wrapped JSON parsing in try-catch to handle corruption gracefully
When task history state file is corrupted, the system now automatically
attempts to reconstruct history from existing task folders, providing
better resilience against file corruption issues.
* feat: Add telemetry tracking for extension storage errors
Replace console.error logging with structured telemetry capture for extension storage operations. This change:
- Adds a new EXTENSION_STORAGE_ERROR telemetry event type to track storage-related failures
- Implements captureExtensionStorageError method with error message truncation to prevent excessive data
- Replaces three console.error calls in readTaskHistoryFromState with telemetry events
This improves error monitoring and provides better insights into extension storage failures while maintaining data efficiency through message truncation.
* fix: improve type safety and error handling in task history
Add explicit return type to reconstructTaskHistory() function and refactor error handling in readTaskHistoryFromState() with nested try-catch blocks to better distinguish between file read errors and JSON parse errors. This improves error recovery and makes error tracking more precise through separate telemetry calls.
* add param to reconstructTaskHistory for manually called action
