# Factory Droid v0.175.0: auto file previews, task ID prefixes, /btw mid-stream fix

> Generated files now open in a preview automatically. TaskOutput and TaskStop accept task ID prefixes for easier background task references. The /btw command handles mid-stream forks correctly, model settings persist properly, wiki runs can generate shareable links, and the plugins overlay closes on Esc from any tab.
