Key Takeaways
- Errors, warnings and startup config issues now show as lines in the conversation.
- The floating bottom-right popups were removed, which is a visible behavior change.
- Messages in the conversation stay in the scrollback, so they can be reread or copied.
- Refused inputs show a notice above the input box.
- That notice stays until the next key, instead of fading away on a timer.
- The change makes startup config problems harder to miss.
What changed
Mistral Vibe used to surface errors and warnings in floating notification popups in the bottom-right corner. In 3.1.0 those popups are removed. Errors, warnings and startup config issues now appear as lines in the conversation.
Refused inputs
When an input is refused, a notice shows above the input and stays until the next key is pressed. It no longer disappears on a timer, so it cannot be missed.
Why it matters
Pop-ups vanish on their own and leave no record. Messages in the conversation stay in the scrollback, so a startup config problem or an error can be read later and copied into a bug report. The notice that persists until the next key gives the user time to read why input was rejected.
