Cline's desktop app got a massive consolidation pass that merges its customization pages into one hub and reworks the sidebar.

Cline's desktop app is getting a serious UX overhaul [1][2], merging the Plugins and Marketplace pages into a single Customize hub with tabs for Skills, MCP, Plugins, Rules, Hooks, and Tools. The same pass reworks the sidebar, and a companion fix [3] stops showing cost estimates for subscription-billed providers like ChatGPT Plus and ClinePass, aligning the VS Code host with the CLI's behavior. The scheduled sessions UX also got a refresh [5] with a unified details dialog and run-now handoff, plus a fix for stuck-thinking. Over in OpenHands, a pair of PRs [4][6] bound automation run-history fan-out and paused sidebar polling to curb runaway resource use, while another [7] remembers your last workspace mode so you stop accidentally spawning new worktrees. LangChain's model profiles got an automated refresh [8][9], dropping DeepSeek's chat and reasoner models across two providers.
