Continue channel chats in Agenta

Continue a channel conversation in the app

A chat started in Slack or Telegram no longer becomes view-only in Agenta. Open the chat in the app and send a follow-up there. For a project-visible channel chat, members whose role permits sending can write to it; the agent's reply also appears in the channel thread. See the change.

The owner of a private agent can connect it to a channel. New channel chats for that agent start private to the owner. A connection made by someone else stops answering if the agent becomes private; the owner can connect it again. Existing channel chats keep their visibility. See Share agents and chats.

Improvements

• Claude Haiku 5.5 is available in the model catalog and works in Pi agent runs.
• Agent turn-start lookups run in parallel rather than waiting for each independent lookup in sequence.

Bug fixes

• Switching chats while a first message is being prepared no longer loses that message.
• A turn that reaches its time limit keeps the work it completed for the next message. The runner also applies its output budget per step rather than per turn.
• Stopping a turn through the older stream route keeps its partial answer and records the turn as stopped.
• Resolving an agent with large inline skills no longer uses the slow token scan.
