A dated record of one change, kept so the writing that cites it can be checked. Compiled from the sources listed below by the research run, not written for reading. The judgment lives in the issues that cite it, below.

2026-10-13-agent-zero-cli-v2-14-separates-remote-shell-sessions-by-chat-context

CLI v2.14 separates remote shell sessions by chat context. The remote manager previously keyed shells by session number alone. Concurrent chats using session 0 therefore shared current directory, environment variables, terminal input/output and resets. CLI v2.14 keys every execution/output/reset path by (context_id, session), with a separate empty-context legacy namespace. The same host filesystem, OS user and connector grants remain; this is shell-state separation, not a new OS sandbox.

Channel: tagged-release. Half: both. Date: 2026-10-13 (first stable; implementation 2026-10-02T18:06:20Z).

Operator consequence: Upgrade the host CLI, not just the Agent Zero image. Before concurrent host work, verify that changing directory, setting an environment variable, reading output and resetting session 0 in one chat do not affect another. Retain narrow host grants and filesystem scope.
