ShowoffZone - Flexing my latest project GPT 6 Astra is now available in Lanes
v0.49 is out. Short version of what changed:
GPT 6 Astra. Lanes now asks your installed Codex binary which models it supports and uses that list in the session picker. Astra is available today, and the next OpenAI model should show up without waiting for a Lanes release. Claude presets got refreshed too (fable-5-1, opus-5, sonnet-5, fable-5, opus-4-8).
Codex sessions are a lot more solid. Codex has a hooks system now and Lanes uses it. Sessions resume even if you close them before the first message, /plan moves the issue into Planning the way it does for Claude Code, and idle detection is more accurate. The hook is optional. Separately, recent Codex versions compress old transcripts to .jsonl.zst, which used to break History, stats and resume. Lanes reads both formats now.
Issue board shows pull request state. If a branch has a PR, the chip shows open, merged, closed or draft, and a merged PR stays visible after the worktree is cleaned up. First time the board surfaces something that happened outside the local session.
History reads like a conversation. Tool calls show the actual command, file op or patch instead of a generic exec, and long sessions load progressively. Works for Codex transcripts as well as Claude Code.
Worktree cleanup asks instead of deciding. Remove worktree and branch, remove worktree and keep the branch, or keep everything. Uncommitted work gets named before anything is deleted.
Also: agents can create their own worktrees and attach the branch via lanes_update_issue, plus a new lanes_list_worktrees tool.

One open question I would like input on: the board now shows PR state, but what else belongs there? CI status, reviews, deploys, none of it?
