# Agent Canvas 1.26.0

Released October 8, 2026.

[View the full release on GitHub](https://github.com/OpenHands/OpenHands/releases/tag/v1.26.0).

## Highlights

* **Authenticated backend views for Apps** — An app can embed an app-owned HTTP UI through the optional `host.appBackendView` helper, which requests a short-lived session from the active Agent Server's ingress and mounts it in an iframe. See [Apps (Beta)](/openhands/usage/agent-canvas/canvas-extensions).
* **Suspended workspace screen** — On cloud and Enterprise backends, when the selected organization or your membership in it is suspended, Agent Canvas replaces the app with a message and offers a button for each of your other workspaces. See [Backends](/openhands/usage/agent-canvas/backends).
* **Super Admin setup guide on enterprise backends** — On Enterprise backends where the first Super Admin has the guide enabled, Canvas shows the same setup guide as the OHE dashboard, with the same steps and n/4 progress, and hides the "Getting started" checklist while it is shown. Completing a step in Canvas advances the guide to the next step. See [First Time Setup](/openhands/usage/agent-canvas/first-time-setup).
* **Narrowed "Needs review" run status** — A completed automation run whose finish response has no task outcome now shows a successful badge. Only explicit unrecognized statuses map to "Needs review". See [Managing automations](/openhands/usage/agent-canvas/managing-automations#run-statuses).

## Fixes

* An empty-response corrective nudge from the SDK renders as an informational note in chat instead of a plain assistant message.
* Error toasts show the server's message instead of raw `HttpError` text, for generic errors, LLM profile errors, and failed plugin and app installs and updates.
* Cloud organization and Git installation queries poll less often, and cloud conversation requests are scoped to the selected organization. Cloud sandbox resume retry behavior is adjusted.
* PostHog telemetry is never initialized when the browser sends Do Not Track.
* Accessibility: menus, popovers, and the conversation header menu close on `Escape` and return focus; the LLM profile row menu is keyboard-operable; icon-only composer and diff viewer buttons are named.
* Narrow-screen layout: settings and customization remain usable on tablets, home shows folder names at phone width, and the conversation drawer opens at phone width for agent and file-link tab requests.
* Unknown URLs render as an in-app not-found page. The command menu lists Model Router and Agent Context and shows `Ctrl+K` off Apple platforms. Switching from `Manage backends` redirects off backend detail pages. The "No backend is configured." toast no longer appears before a backend exists.
* MCP failed stdio connection tests are explained without the URL hint, and catalog identity is kept for repeated STDIO installs. The Files panel shows the current file body after `Refresh` and reload. The cloud VS Code action is hidden when it is unavailable.
* Automations read local run logs from the server-level bash events, show one error toast when an action fails, keep the filters popover open between choices, and show repositories and plugins stored in `preset_metadata`; repository credentials are hidden on the Git Sync status card.
* Plugin controls say "plugin", busy app switches stay inert, and workspace hooks are listed in the Available Hooks dialog on local backends. A bare `/btw` shows a toast, and `Resume` is offered only on the latest goal status.
* The macOS desktop title bar drag region is restored.

## Maintenance

* The bundled VS Code consumer refactor was reverted in the same release, so bundled VS Code support is unchanged.
* Added the internal `verify-openhands` agent skill and feature map, plus maintenance mapping docs.
* Weekly test sweep removed low-value tests, and several end-to-end tests were updated. Raw color lint warnings were staged.
