# Factory Droid v0.196.0: fork stays in place, credit usage page, session context fix

> Forking a session no longer switches you to the copy (prints a resume command instead). Credit usage gets its own page. Bug fixes include a disappearing PR indicator, dropped SessionStart hook context, and incorrect credit rates for Grok 4.5 and GPT-5.3-Codex fast mode.
