    Qwen Code nightly adds email channels and trusted reboot recovery

    The October 3 Qwen Code nightly includes an IMAP/SMTP email channel, durable local process support with trusted reboot recovery, and more tightly scoped microphone consent. These changes are verified against the previous nightly rather than treating its cumulative release notes as entirely new. This is a prerelease coding-agent update, not a new Qwen model.

    Qwen Code nightly adds Hosted approval controls, with important visibility limits

    The October 1 Qwen Code nightly includes WebShell allow-and-deny cards for Hosted sessions that advertise Actions. Only the session creator may answer. The current Hosted producer does not supply tool arguments, so the card explicitly reports them unavailable. Separate gated work exposes durable shell results through authenticated paging and streaming, while scheduled prompts now persist in transcripts. This does not enable the unfinished Managed engine for all users.

    Qwen Code nightly adds workspace-agent collaboration and hosted approval handling

    The September 30 prerelease adds local workspace-agent collaboration and A2A access and sharing. Its release notes also describe hosted tool approvals, durable permission actions, remote shell-result delivery, a private hosted MCP runtime and workspace cold restore. This is a nightly artifact, distinct from the earlier stable 0.24.7 release.
