DorkOS 0.36.0 redesigns the agent sidebar from the ground up. Agents stay where you expect them, you can pin your favorites, and a right-click context menu puts every agent action one click away.

Highlights

Stable Alphabetical Ordering — The sidebar no longer reshuffles every time you click an agent. All discovered agents appear in a stable alphabetical list sourced from mesh discovery, with no cap on how many are shown.

Pin Your Favorites — Right-click any agent and select "Pin agent" to keep it at the top of the sidebar. Pinned agents stay in their own section above the alphabetical roster. On mobile, long-press or tap the ... button for the same menu.

Activity Badges — A colored dot on each agent row tells you what's happening at a glance. Green means an active session, amber means a session needs your approval, red means something errored. No need to expand the agent to check.

Tool Approval Overhaul — The entire tool approval flow has been rebuilt for reliability. Approvals no longer go stale, and the approval card stays in sync with the session state.

SDK-Driven Model Discovery — Model options are now discovered dynamically from the runtime SDK with a disk cache and warm-up cycle, replacing the old hardcoded list.
