# Deep Agents adds isolated side questions for coding sessions

The coding-agent CLI adds a way to ask a separate question while keeping the main thread focused. Retrospective brief for 23:00–23:59 UTC on 28 September 2026.

## Deep Agents Code introduces /btw side questions

Deep Agents Code 0.1.78 adds isolated side questions through /btw, offers to summarize a thread and switch when its cache expires, and persists project MCP startup denials. The release also loads resumed conversation history on demand. These changes give users more control over context and MCP setup during ongoing coding-agent work.
