Robbie now understands more of your active workspace in ServerDesk

Robbie’s context engine now captures richer Explorer, editor, and terminal state with safer snippets, project markers, command history, provider metadata, truncation signals, and debug inspection support without changing the AI backend contract.

What shipped

  • Explorer provider now captures selected entry, current folder, visible cached tree, recent files, recent modified files, project markers, and workspace indicators
  • Editor provider now captures safe active-file snippets, selection context, related files, diagnostics, dirty tabs, and unsaved state
  • Terminal provider now captures recent commands, risk level, package-manager detection, framework command detection, stdout/stderr snippets, and latest failed command
  • Provider metadata now includes version, freshness, source, confidence, warnings, truncation notes, and failure reporting
  • Internal debug snapshot inspection is now available through a dev/staging browser global without adding production UI clutter

The story

The difference between a spinner and a useful answer is context. Robbie now sees more of the Explorer, editor, and terminal before it responds.

ServerDesk is a cloud IDE that connects directly to your server via SFTP or SSH. There is no container spin-up, no sandboxed environment, and no abstraction layer between you and your infrastructure. You work with your actual files, on your actual server, from the browser.

Every feature in this release is live and available to all ServerDesk users from the day it shipped.

Try it yourself

Open [serverdesk.dev](https://serverdesk.dev/register), connect your server, and the new capabilities are there waiting for you. The Starter plan is free — no card required.
