Vertical tabs: new summary mode

Warp says “Summary mode for vertical tabs” provides a compact overview of tab contents. (warp.dev/changelog/2026/">https://docs.warp.dev/changelog/2026/)

Tabs can auto-color by directory

Warp also says you can associate colors with directories so that tabs automatically adopt the configured color when their working directory matches (configured in Settings → Appearance). (https://docs.warp.dev/changelog/2026/)

Other notable improvements (selection)

The same release includes a broad set of improvements across Agent Mode and remote workflows, including:

  • displaying run durations and timestamps on shell commands when viewing conversation transcripts,
  • verifying the remote server binary with --version after install,
  • improved SSH extension install reliability (including SCP fallback), and
  • a number of fixes related to MCP authentication and capability handling.
