Qwen Code published stable 0.26.2 during the October 27–28 scan window, alongside related preview and SDK releases. These are combined as one update.

Stable managed workflows

The release adds session permission rules, a durable queue for messages sent during a managed turn, workspace uploads, snapshots and recovery support. Web Shell can open a workspace from a Git URL. Generated UI users can review frozen parameters before continuing analysis in the original session.

Web Shell controls also change incompatibly: current-directory submissions are retired. Review integrations rather than assuming previous controls remain supported. Automatic approval is a product setting, not a recommendation to grant unrestricted access.

Keep preview features distinct

Version 0.26.3-preview.0 separately changes opt-in memory-extraction cadence, tool-result sizing before compaction and Generated UI persistence across same-page navigation. The TypeScript SDK release bundles CLI 0.26.2; it is not a separate underlying model launch.

These notes do not promise free hosted execution or measured quality gains.
