Can reasoning stay steadier in long sessions?

This release group focuses on Activity, reasoning, and streaming behavior in longer sessions so progress feels more continuous and the interface does less unnecessary work.

The short answer

Yes. Reasoning blocks remember their collapsed state more reliably, Activity updates in smaller increments, streaming output settles more cleanly, and a Codex reasoning-fragment issue has been fixed.

Reasoning blocks remember your choice

After you expand or collapse a reasoning block, FinchStory now keeps that state more reliably. You spend less time re-arranging the interface as a session grows.

Activity updates more quietly

Small changes no longer require broad Activity refreshes. Only the parts that actually changed are updated, which makes following and scrolling steadier in long sessions.

Codex reasoning reads more continuously

Cases where Codex reasoning arrived in awkward fragments have been fixed. The completed timeline is also cleaner once a run finishes.
