Cline Desktop 0.0.15-beta.1: /handoff a local session to Cline Cloud

Beta adds /handoff, moving a live local session — conversation, images, optional follow-up command — to a Cloud workspace that keeps running after the app closes, with a preflight that checks the repo, branch and commit are pushed. Cloud now lives in the existing Local/Remote environment menu and the separate Local/Cloud toggle is gone. The release also rolls up 0.0.14 stable, including the app rename to "Cline".

  • Beta /handoff: transfers conversation, attached images and an optional follow-up command to a Cloud workspace that continues after the app is closed; preflight confirms repository, branch and commit are pushed; composer shows progress and ends with a receipt linking to the cloud session
  • Interrupted handoffs (app restart, network drop, branch moving mid-transfer) recover or cleanly retry on reopening the session; typed drafts and attachments are restored
  • Cloud moved into the Local / Remote environment menu — selectable behind the Cloud sessions feature flag, otherwise shown as "Coming soon"; the separate Local / Cloud toggle is removed, repository and branch controls unchanged
  • Rolls up 0.0.14 stable and main since: unified Plugins hub with a Marketplace page, recommended and free model tiers in the model picker, scheduled tasks for agents, and the app rename to "Cline" (this beta is now "Cline Beta")
