- NewBuilder.ioClips nightly 0.1.423-0Video
Clips nightly isolates malformed Lab preferences instead of blocking unrelated settings
The published nightly includes per-setting error handling and repair controls for invalid Lab choices. The change is a reliability repair in creator tooling, not a new video-generation model or the earlier recording-startup fix.

- NewBuilder.ioClips nightly 0.1.422-0Video
Clips nightly improves recording startup, countdowns and cancelled-attempt cleanup
This nightly restores concurrent recording setup and starts the countdown alongside preparation. Cancellation cleans up that attempt's pending Rewind setup and audio leases. Official tests cover the repaired startup paths, including older macOS behavior; this is capture tooling, not a video-generation model.

- NewBuilder.ioAgent-Native toolkit 0.200.0Agents
Agent-Native 0.200 makes queued prompts and setup recovery durable
The toolkit release preserves follow-up run options and keeps internal context out of visible chat. A turn refused because AI setup is missing retains its retry information server-side, with a one-tab resend claim that survives reloads. It also adds a stop hook and defaults direct Anthropic and OpenRouter connections to Sonnet 5.5. These are released library changes, not proof every hosted application has adopted them.

- NewBuilder.ioClips nightly 0.1.417Video
Clips nightly keeps recording controls visible when you move the camera
The new nightly includes a focused desktop fix: repositioning the camera bubble no longer schedules dismissal of the recording controls. This addresses the pre-recording controls disappearing, not the separate recording-storage recovery covered in nightly 416.

- NewBuilder.ioClips nightly 416Video
Clips nightly lets creators record before connecting storage and recover interrupted uploads
Clips nightly 416 contains the record-first change: creators can capture before linking Builder or S3 storage, with a local copy retained until a confirmed upload. The implementation adds browser reload recovery, desktop pending-upload handling, deletion confirmation and account-ownership checks. Failed connections and offline uploads keep the local copy. This is a creator recording workflow, not a new generative-video model or an unconditional never-lose guarantee; desktop and extension runtime behavior were covered by maintainer unit tests, not live runtime trials.

- NewBuilder.ioAgent-Native desktop nightly 380Agents
Agent-Native nightly connects durable chat queues with running-session recovery
Builder.io desktop nightly 380 includes reviewed AgentKit changes that durably queue messages during an active run and turn run-slot conflicts into queued work. Built-in Agent-Native sessions recover active runs and reconcile saved messages after reload without duplicating streamed output. A separate CRM template change exposes seven authenticated, access-scoped reads to external agents, keeping direct writes off that surface. This is prerelease repository implementation, not proof every hosted app has rolled it out; multi-tab queue promotion remains unverified.

- NewBuilder.ioAgent-Native Core 0.198.8Developer
Agent-Native 0.198.8 restores app actions for development subagents
Core 0.198.8 exposes application actions to dev-mode subagents and keeps optional migration codemods out of application build graphs. The linked implementation identifies the app-action change as a restoration. Companion package version bumps do not establish separate product launches.

- NewBuilder.ioAgent-Native Core 0.198.7Developer
Agent-Native 0.198.7 stops same-turn retries of typed provider rate limits
Core 0.198.7 prevents an agent from retrying a typed provider rate-limit error in the same turn and refreshes chat readiness after connecting a provider. The release also fixes headless development startup and includes Drizzle ORM in generated app dependencies for production database-module resolution.

- NewBuilder.ioAgent-Native Toolkit 0.198.6Developer
Agent-Native 0.198.6 improves tool-error disclosure and keeps chat submissions in place
Toolkit 0.198.6 improves chat activity status, tool-error disclosure and composer feedback. It keeps homepage submissions in the active full-page chat and hides unavailable request-ID actions. The notes also address narrow-viewport toast actions and chat-history popover sequencing; they do not describe a new model or runtime.

- NewBuilder.ioAgent-Native Toolkit 0.198.4Developer
Agent-Native 0.198.4 restores workspace connection requests after OAuth
Toolkit 0.198.4 restores typed workspace connection requests when chat resumes OAuth or a custom credential resolver finds no connection. The patch supports manual and automatic Gong MCP OAuth registration, exposes chat-history retry errors and preserves queued intent during provider preparation. It is a separate recovery and connector development after 0.198.3.

- NewBuilder.ioAgent-Native Toolkit 0.198.3Developer
Agent-Native 0.198.3 preserves queued intent through resumed agent streams
Builder.io's Toolkit 0.198.3 release preserves queued chat intent across asynchronous preparation and resumed runtime streams. It also keeps route and filter context available with a closed sidebar and respects host submission guards when agent suggestions are selected. These are developer-toolkit changes, not evidence that every downstream app has adopted them.
