CLI Update: Plan-to-Cloud Handoff, Mermaid Diagrams, and Improvements

Full changelog · CLI Docs


New CLI release! This update brings plan-to-cloud handoff, inline Mermaid diagrams, and a long list of quality-of-life improvements.

Plan mode improvements

The CLI now shows a persistent decision menu after generating a plan - choose to build in the cloud or build locally right from the terminal. Type /plan to jump back to your current plan anytime. We’ve also added keyboard shortcuts: arrow keys to navigate, Enter to execute, and Shift+Enter to kick off a cloud build.

Mermaid ASCII diagrams

Mermaid code blocks now render inline as ASCII art directly in your terminal. Flowcharts, sequence diagrams, state machines, class diagrams, and ER diagrams are all supported. Press Ctrl+O to toggle between the rendered diagram and the raw Mermaid source.

Other highlights

This release also includes many other improvements across four categories:

  • General (6): Cursor Blame now tracks AI code and conversations in the CLI, including through formatter rewrites and file deletions. Agent sessions are saved as JSONL transcripts. Linux clipboard support for Wayland and X11.
  • Tools (5): Unified domain allowlisting for web tools, auto-approval for known-safe URLs, MCP re-authentication on expired credentials, and granular sandbox network controls.
  • UX (14): /resume sorted by last interaction, inline model reasoning, improved markdown tables, Emacs-style keybindings, --yolo and --force flags, dark/light terminal detection, and more.
  • Reliability & Bug Fixes (17): Background auto-updates, reduced boot time, automatic retry with checkpoint-aware recovery, fixes for headless mode, iTerm2, Windows Delete key, and many more.
