Regression: Glass Agents moved "Archived" into Status filter — can't view archived + active together

Describe the Bug

A recent upgrade regressed how archived agents are shown in the Glass Agents sidebar.

Before (few days ago): Archive visibility was controlled by a standalone “Include Archived” toggle (separate from status filters). Not perfect, but workable — you could show archived items alongside active ones.

After (current version): Archived was moved into Filter by → Status. It now behaves like a status filter instead of a display toggle. This causes two problems:

  1. Can’t view archived and non-archived agents together. Selecting Archived appears to show only archived items, hiding the active list.
  2. Selecting Archived clears other Status filter selections. Toggling Archived seems to reset/unselect the other status checks (Needs Attention, Working, Draft, Done, PR statuses, etc.).
    Archive visibility should be independent of agent status. Archived is a container/section, not a lifecycle state like “Working” or “Done”.
Version UX Assessment
Editor app Collapsible Archived section at list bottom Best
Glass (pre-upgrade, ~June 2026) Standalone “Include Archived” toggle Ok-ish
Glass (current) Archived under Filter by → Status Broken

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Agents Window (Glass layout)
  2. Open the sidebar filter menu (filter icon)
  3. Go to Filter by → Status
  4. Note current status filter selections
  5. Toggle Archived
  6. Observe:
    • Active (non-archived) agents disappear from the list
    • Other status filter checkmarks are cleared/unselected

Actual behavior

  • Archived acts as an exclusive status filter
  • Cannot browse archived and active agents in the same view
  • Status filter state is lost when toggling Archived

Expected Behavior

Match the Editor window pattern (the best UX today):

  • A collapsible “Archived” section at the bottom of the agents list
  • Always present — no menu toggle required to discover it
  • Expand/collapse to show or hide archived items
  • Independent of status filters — I should be able to filter by status (e.g. “Working”, “Needs Attention”) while still seeing both active agents and the Archived section

Minimum acceptable (pre-regression Glass): Restore the standalone “Include Archived” display toggle, separate from Filter by → Status.

Additional Information

I searched the forum and didn’t find an existing report for this specific change (moving Include Archived into the Status submenu). Older threads and staff replies still reference Customize Sidebar → Include Archived, which suggests this regression is very recent.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Thanks for the detailed writeup Raz you’ve described the change accurately. This is a regression: the archived control was reworked into the Status filter and now acts as an exclusive view, so selecting Archived hides active agents and clears your other status selections. We’ve reproduced it and logged it with the team, with the goal of showing archived and active agents together again, independent of status filters.

In the meantime, the editor window’s agents list still has the collapsible Archived section at the bottom, so that’s the most reliable way to see both at once for now.

I’ll follow up here once there’s an update. Thanks again!

Amazing, thanks! Waiting for that
