repeating questions

[ashmilgit15]

Thanks for the feedback.

We've made improvements to session context management in recent versions which should reduce the "forgetting" behavior. The context pipeline was refactored to better maintain conversation state.

Please try the latest version and see if the experience improves:
https://github.com/OpenCoworkAI/open-cowork/releases/tag/v3.3.0-beta.8

Regarding the Chrome connector — could you share the specific error or behavior you're seeing? A screenshot or log would help us investigate.

Thanks for reporting this. I checked the current codebase and could verify a few relevant behaviors.

Session history is persisted and passed back into the agent on each turn, and cold-started runs inject recent prior conversation into the prompt; reused SDK sessions keep full conversation context. The session is intentionally reset if the session working directory changes, because SDK sessions are bound to cwd, so a workspace change can start a fresh session. For the Chrome connector, the built-in preset uses chrome-devtools-mcp@latest against http://localhost:9222, and the app tries to auto-start Chrome with remote debugging on port 9222 and then verifies list_pages; if that verification fails, it raises a Chrome-not-ready error. In the remote question flow, option-based questions currently accept numeric option replies, while free-text replies are only parsed when the question has no predefined options.

Relevant code:

• src/main/session/session-manager.ts:646 - saves each user message and rebuilds the context passed into the agent
• src/main/claude/agent-runner.ts:1504 - cold starts inject recent conversation history; reused SDK sessions keep existing context
• src/main/session/session-manager.ts:1002 - changing the session cwd clears the SDK session/thread
• src/main/mcp/mcp-config-store.ts:14 - Chrome preset uses npx -y chrome-devtools-mcp@latest --browser-url http://localhost:9222
• src/main/mcp/mcp-manager.ts:967 - Chrome connector checks port 9222, auto-starts Chrome, and verifies MCP connectivity with list_pages
• src/main/remote/remote-manager.ts:451 - remote option questions ask for numeric replies
• src/main/remote/remote-manager.ts:755 - remote parser maps numeric replies to options; free text is only used when no options exist

Need more info:

• What Open Cowork version and OS are you using?
• Did the repeated questions happen in the same session/workspace, or after switching folders/workspaces?
• What exact Chrome connector error did you see? A screenshot or the connector log/message would help.
• If this was in a remote/Feishu session, was the “different answer from the options” case there?
