### Patch Changes
- 3c4e927: fix: invoke commands without shell intermediate
Behind the scenes commands are now spawned direct to avoid unexpected input and output redirection or odd argument parsings. This is what happens and what changed:
Linux:
```diff
- /bin/sh -c "slack trigger run --workflow #/workflows/give_kudos_workflow"
+ execvp("slack", ["trigger", "run", "--workflow", "#/workflows/give_kudos_workflow"])
```
Windows:
```diff
- cmd.exe /s /c "slack trigger run --workflow #/workflows/give_kudos_workflow"
+ CreateProcessW("slack", ["trigger", "run", "--workflow", "#/workflows/give_kudos_workflow"])
```
### Patch Changes
- 5bc7685: Add `BlocksChunk` type for passing Block Kit blocks within streaming messages
- 9fa2921: Align Alert, Card, and Carousel block type descriptions with official documentation
## Plan Mode
## New Custom Agent Directory
## New Custom Agent controls for admins
### Patch Changes
- f5696c3: fix: wait for cli run start trace instead of activity output
The `platform.runStart` method now waits until "SLACK_TRACE_PLATFORM_RUN_START" is output before contining. This is output before delegating the development connection to either the SDK or CLI subprocess. This change improves automated testing support for Bolt apps.
### Minor Changes
- 4f03ee8: feat(types): add [Card](https://docs.slack.dev/reference/block-kit/blocks/card-block/), [Carousel](https://docs.slack.dev/reference/block-kit/blocks/carousel-block), and [Alert](https://docs.slack.dev/reference/block-kit/blocks/alert-block) block types
### Patch Changes
- 4b6fe3a: feat: add authorship arguments - `icon_emoji`, `icon_url`, and `username` - to the [`assistant.threads.setStatus`](https://docs.slack.dev/reference/methods/assistant.threads.setStatus/) and [`chat.startStream`](https://docs.slack.dev/reference/methods/chat.startStream/) methods
- Updated dependencies [4f03ee8]
- @slack/types@2.21.0
## A new home on mobile
## Add Custom Agents to private Slack channels
### Patch Changes
- 4545150: Require exact `ssl_check=1` value to bypass signature verification, preventing truthy but incorrect values from skipping authentication checks.
### Patch Changes
- 5395b0c: fix: terminate closing connections earlier if normal close responses fail
If Slack doesn't respond to a close frame, the WebSocket connection is now force-terminated instead of waiting for a response that won't arrive. Since [disconnects are expected](https://docs.slack.dev/apis/events-api/using-socket-mode/#disconnect) every few hours, this avoids repeated "pong wasn't received" warnings and speeds up reconnection.

Plan and track your software releases directly from Linear.
Linear Releases integrates with your CI/CD tools to precisely track the deployment environment, version, and status of every issue, giving team members and agents your full deployment context.
Issue statuses automatically update when their associated code changes land in production. See what’s live to customers, not just what’s been merged.
Write release notes for a single release or for a range of releases. Generate release notes with Linear Agent based on included issues.
Releases supports both continuous deployment and scheduled release methodologies. Add up to 5 release pipelines on Business, or unlimited on Enterprise plans. Learn more in our [documentation](https://linear.app/docs/releases).
## Project Slack channels
We’ve added automation to our Slack integration to support common usage patterns for projects.
You can automatically create a connected channel in Slack for each new project in Linear. Project updates post to that channel, and every project member is added to the channel by default.
Admins can enable project channel creation in Slack [settings](https://linear.app/settings/integrations/slack).
Fixes

- Agents: Fixed the copy table action in agent chat responses
- Agents: Fixed agent-generated content mixing placeholder and normal text when editing issues, documents, and projects created from templates
- Asks: Added RFC 3834 auto-response handling to email intake. Outbound notifications are now marked as auto-generated, and inbound auto-responses are ignored to prevent email loops.
- Command Menu: Fixed long project names overflowing the issue preview popover in Cmd K search
- Comments: Fixed a bug where the comment input would not refocus after sending a comment

- Editor: Fixed a bug that prevented deleting rows and columns of tables while multiple users were editing
- Filters: Fixed a white flash inside the filter input when focusing

- Imports: Fixed previous imports remaining collapsed after starting an import or while an import is active
- Inbox: Fixed Inbox showing emoji reactions as the latest activity instead of more recent comments
- Initiatives: Hid the “Parent initiatives” action group from context menus when there is no initiative that can be set as a parent
- Initiatives: Hid the “Add existing sub-initiative” action when there are no other initiatives to choose from
- Initiatives: Hid the “Sub-initiatives” action group from initiative context menus when the workspace does not have access to the sub-initiatives feature
- Issue Templates: Issue templates opened from shared creation links now keep their selected project milestone
- Microsoft Teams: Capped unfurls at 15 per message to prevent message size errors
- Projects: Retired teams can now be removed from projects they were attached to before retirement
- Pulse: Fixed feed sometimes showing stale items when switching between Popular, Recent, and Following tabs

Improvements
- Linear Agent: Added “New agent chat” to the right click menu on the Create button in the sidebar
- Linear Agent: Linear agent is now able to work with issue drafts
- Imports: New members created during Linear-to-Linear imports are created in a suspended state when the destination workspace uses SCIM

- Sidebar: Right-clicking items in the More menu now opens the same context menu as regular sidebar items
- Web: Improved detection and warnings about problematic browser extensions
MCP server
- Issues with a 0-point estimate or “No priority” projects/issues no longer serialize as `undefined`, so consumers can tell an explicit zero from an unset value
- Links added through `save_issue` now go through the integration-aware `attachmentLinkURL` path, so URLs matching configured integrations (Zendesk, Intercom, etc.) create rich attachments and trigger two-way sync instead of being stored as plain URL attachments
API
- Fixed inconsistent `cancelled` vs `canceled` spelling in integration field descriptions
## Rollups now as currency, percent, and more
## Find pages faster from the breadcrumb
## Linear Agent MCP support
- 
[Linear Agent](https://linear.app/changelog/2026-03-24-introducing-linear-agent) can now connect to your tools via MCP, giving it access to data and actions beyond your Linear workspace. Bring external context into your workflows to investigate issues, plan projects, write specs, and draft updates grounded in your full context.
For example:
Pull meeting takeaways from **Granola** into a project update and create follow-up issues
- Use enterprise context from **Glean** to draft a more complete project spec
- Turn interview notes from **Notion** into customer requests
- Use **PostHog** data to validate a product hypothesis
Admins can control access with allowlists and workspace-level MCP permissions. Connect servers in your agent personalization settings or within triage [automations](https://linear.app/docs/triage#automation). See the [docs](https://linear.app/docs/linear-agent#connect-mcp-servers) for supported servers and setup instructions.
## Improvements to Linear Agent
We’re continuously improving Linear Agent and adding new capabilities and features.
- Select text anywhere in Linear and press ⌘+J to send it directly to the agent as context
- Agent chat now opens in a maximized overlay, so it feels like a natural extension of the toolbar chat instead of a separate page
## More control over sharing issues
We recently introduced [issue-level sharing](https://linear.app/changelog/2026-02-13-advanced-filters-and-share-issues-in-private-teams#share-issues-from-private-teams), which lets teams share individual issues from private teams with guests and members who don’t have team-level access.
This update gives team owners more control over how that access is managed. Team owners can now configure who can share issues with non-members in team settings. Sub-issues also no longer inherit the parent issue’s share state and can be shared independently.
Issue-level sharing is available on Enterprise plans. Learn more in our [docs](https://linear.app/docs/private-teams#share-issues-from-a-private-team).

### Patch Changes
- a18c359: fix: correct InvalidCustomPropertyError code and MemoryStore promise handling
### Major Changes
- d2b7a89: refactor(cli-test)!: rename env add/remove to env set/unset
The Slack CLI v4.0.0 release changes the `env` commands to prefer `set` and `unset` aliases and the test tracers of this package were changed to match:
```diff
- SLACK_TRACE_ENV_ADD_SUCCESS
- SLACK_TRACE_ENV_REMOVE_SUCCESS
+ SLACK_TRACE_ENV_SET_SUCCESS
+ SLACK_TRACE_ENV_UNSET_SUCCESS
```
- 5a9bb9a: refactor(cli-test)!: move 'create' to 'project create'
Before the Slack CLI v4.0.0 release, the `create` command became a `project` subcommand while remaining aliased the same. This project now prefers:
```js
const createOutput = await SlackCLI.project.create({
template: "slack-samples/bolt-js-starter-template",
appPath,
verbose: true,
});
```
But continues to run the `slack create` command for confidence in getting started guides.
### Patch Changes
