February 2026: Focused on reinforcing CLI workflow consistency in multi-window scenarios. Delivered a targeted UX improvement for the zed --add command, ensuring new files opened via the CLI appear in the same Terminal Panel window from which the command was executed. This reduces cross-window file openings and improves efficiency for multi-project workstreams. Release notes captured the change and collaboration, co-authored by Kirill Bulatov. No critical bugs closed this month in the zed repo; emphasis on increasing reliability and developer productivity through CLI-UI alignment.
