The sidebar drag-and-drop broke when groups became framed UI elements, and a series of layout and polling fixes landed to smooth mobile and desktop rendering.

Dragging groups and sessions in the sidebar had silently stopped working because the drag-and-drop wiring didn't track the new framed layout where group names ride as absolutely-positioned chips [1]. That's fixed. In parallel, three high-friction UX items from the design backlog landed: the newest prompt now aligns left with all its predecessors instead of sitting 16px adrift [2], mobile sessions reclaimed vertical space by moving the back arrow into the header instead of floating above the window [3], and the trace reader now polls for updates when you return from another app instead of showing stale turns [4]. On the security side, harbor-hf tightened agent sandboxing by restoring root ownership and stripping write permissions from `/app/data` after the workspace opens, preventing unprivileged agents from mutating benchmark inputs [5]. Hub-docs pinged its inference packages to latest [6]. All told: 17 commits and 8 PRs across three repos this period.

Action items

→ Test sidebar drag-and-drop with grouped sessions on desktop and mobile huggingface/agent-manager [plan]
→ Verify agent-manager prompt alignment on 1280×900 and mobile viewports huggingface/agent-manager [monitor]
→ Review harbor-hf task data protection in provider-agent harnesses huggingface/harbor-hf [immediate]
