# IDE Git Flow, Secrets Panel Improvements, and Bug Fixes

> Branch-aware file operations, local git support, and improved environment variable management

<Icon icon="calendar" iconType="regular" size={16} /> **March 26, 2026**

### New Features

#### IDE Git Flow

Local git repository support and a guided branch workflow in the IDE:

* **Auto Initialization** — On startup, the backend automatically initializes a local git repository or clones from `GIT_REPOSITORY_URL` if set, ensuring projects are git-enabled without manual setup
* **Protected Main Branch** — Edits to files on a protected branch are automatically applied to a new branch instead, preventing direct changes to main. Think of it like GitHub Desktop's branch protection flow
* **Merge Conflict Resolution** — When merging branches, conflicts can be reviewed and resolved directly in the IDE
* **Branch-Aware File Operations** — File and folder create, delete, and rename operations are resolved against the active branch via a branch query parameter on the relevant API endpoints
* **Git Metadata in Auth Config** — The `/auth/config` endpoint now exposes `local_git`, `git_remote`, `default_branch`, and `protected_branches` fields for clients to adapt their UI accordingly

#### Secrets Panel Improvements

* **Built-in Variables Always Visible** — LLM provider API keys (`OPENAI_API_KEY`, `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `GEMINI_API_KEY`) are now always shown in the secrets panel, even before they are referenced in the config or `.env` file
* **Improved Variable Discovery** — The secrets panel now scans all model `key_var` fields and database credential variables in the config, ensuring all referenced environment variables are surfaced
