This release is a major step toward making bb’s core customizable! On Omarchy, I made a bb plugin for Btrfs snapshots instead of git worktrees. Thread setup for the bb repo with packages installed went from ~15s -> ~1s. I haven’t seen another ADE that lets you customize things...

this is the way!!!!!!!! I've got a container system that I run on cloud vms that is basically containers+btrfs - to get instant clones earlier today I was exploring connecting it to bb (my first plugin). start a new branch: - creates a fresh container (btrfs) - ensures workspace is up to date with main - forks - runs claude/grok/... inside a ghostty terminal (in the container) - extract state via hooks/parsing screen - status callbacks via process state + small 'post' tool that posts to the journal I'd love to make getbb the gui home - right now it is all bubbletea/tui

how does this work with setting up different environments? ex: provisioning DB, env vars, etc?

Does bb expose a stable workspace lifecycle to plugins, so swapping worktrees for Btrfs snapshots stays invisible to the agent?

Wait, can we get copy-on-write on bb on macOS?

The ~15s to ~1s on Btrfs snapshots is the real win here. Curious how the browser control plugin scopes sessions per thread, since parallel agents sharing one browser context is where things usually get messy.

Could this work as a drop-in replacement for the git worktrees interface?

I don't know how you did it, but I find bb one of the most pleasant pieces of software to use. Great job to you and team!
