Mistral Vibe: /branch Works While the Agent Runs and Rewind Refusals Explain Why

Mistral VibeView original changelog

/branch now works while the agent is running, forking the conversation as it was before the current turn and showing the resume command in a panel. Refused rewinds and forks now say what is still running, such as a background process or subagent.

Key Takeaways

  • /branch no longer needs the agent to be idle.
  • The fork reflects the conversation before the current turn.
  • The resume command appears in a panel, not the transcript.
  • Refusals name what is still running.
  • Refused rewinds show as notices.
  • It shipped in Mistral Vibe 3.1.1.

Fork mid-turn

/branch can now be used during a running turn. It forks the conversation as it was before the current turn and shows the command that resumes the copy in a panel instead of in the conversation.

Clearer refusals

When a rewind or fork is refused, Vibe says what is still running, such as a background process or a subagent. A refused rewind appears as a notice instead of a conversation row.
