## What changed


- **Devin Coach**: prompts surface suggestions in the input box as you type.
- **Smarter re-review**: Devin Review skips re-review when the diff against base is unchanged (e.g. stacked PR restacks).
- **Slack thread follow-ups**: sessions auto-subscribe to threads they post in; replies route back without re-tagging.
- **Teams polish**: user mentions render as chips, emoji inline, channel-mention threading matches Slack.
- **High contrast mode**: adds a "system" option that follows OS preference; new accessibility submenu in command palette.
- **Sidebar**: reveals active session on navigation, new folders sort to top, right-click opens folder menu.
- **Command palette**: "Start session with a prompt" supports multiline; "Search sessions" pinned under Start session.
- **Preview toolbar**: open-in-new-tab promoted; exposed ports moved to overflow; share/open-in-new-tab follows current page.
- **Session list**: filterable by platform.
- **Code scan**: Ingest available as a scan mode in the new-scan sheet; auto-scan schedules API v3 GA.
- **Devin Local**: enabled by default for enterprise.
- **Automations**: in-page search via Cmd/Ctrl+F; unified workflow permission preview matches live run pane.
