Forge v0.106.0 Release: Plan Progress Tracking and Reliability Improvements

· 2 min read
release

Version 0.106.0 introduces intelligent plan progress tracking and critical reliability improvements that make your development workflow smoother and more stable.

Plan Progress Tracking​

While Forge has always supported plan creation through the Muse agent, v0.106.0 adds real-time progress tracking. Forge now actively monitors and updates task status as it works through your plans.

Progress Tracking in Forgecode

How It Works​

Plans use checkbox syntax that Forge automatically manages:

  • [ ] - Task not started
  • [~] - Task in progress
  • [x] - Task completed

When you reference a plan file, Forge works through tasks sequentially and updates their status in real-time. You can watch tasks move from [ ] to [~] to [x] as work progresses.

Forge VS Code Extension​

The new VS Code extension enables quick file reference copying in Forge's exact format, eliminating manual path and line number typing.

Features​

  • Copy File References: Direct clipboard copying with line selections
  • Smart Format: Automatic @[<filepath>:<line start>:<line end>] formatting
  • Quick Access: CTRL+U keyboard shortcut
  • Requirements: Forge in PATH, VS Code 1.102.0+

Usage​

  1. Select code or lines
  2. Press CTRL+U
  3. Paste formatted reference into Forge

Install from the VS Code Marketplace.

Bug Fixes and Improvements​

Fixed MCP Integration with OpenAI Models​

Resolved critical MCP operation failures with OpenAI models caused by missing schema dependencies.

Enhanced Retry Logic​

Extended existing retry logic to handle empty response bodies. Previously, retry only worked for errors - now it also handles when AI providers return empty responses.

The system now retries for:

  • Empty response bodies (new)
  • Transport errors (existing)
  • HTTP status codes: 429, 500, 502, 503, 504 (existing)

Configure retry behavior:

# .env
FORGE_RETRY_MAX_ATTEMPTS=3
FORGE_RETRY_INITIAL_BACKOFF_MS=1000
FORGE_RETRY_BACKOFF_FACTOR=2
FORGE_RETRY_STATUS_CODES=429,500,502,503,504

Enhanced Error Messages​

Replaced cryptic error messages with clear, actionable feedback that includes context and suggested next steps.

How to Update​

npx forgecode@latest

Or install globally:

npm install -g forgecode@latest

Looking Ahead​

Version 0.106.0 establishes the foundation for advanced project management and development tooling. The VS Code extension will expand with additional IDE integrations and enhanced code context features.
