Key AI/agent workflow updates
Local agent conversation details panel
Warp’s changelog notes that the conversation details side panel is now available for local Warp Agent conversations (not only cloud runs), and that it can be opened/closed with a configurable keyboard shortcut.
Drag-and-drop images into CLI agent sessions
Warp now supports drag-and-drop of image files into an active CLI agent session (the changelog calls out Claude Code as an example).

Inline images and Mermaid rendering in agent outputs
Warp also notes it can render inline local images and Mermaid diagrams in agent block output, which can make AI-generated explanations and diagrams easier to review in-terminal.
Codex harness for local child agents
In “Oz updates,” Warp notes it added Codex as a supported harness for local child agents, alongside a new configurable max context window per profile.
