LobeChat vs tl;dv: at a glance
What is LobeChat?
LobeHub canary.7 runs Codex on users' own devices and turns tasks into a kanban board.
LobeChat, now shipping as LobeHub, is an agent workspace built around goals, tasks, devices and projects. canary.7 bundles 75 commits: Codex app-server runs on connected devices behind a Labs flag, a task board with Kanban-column creation, archiving and command-menu search, and sub-agents relayed through the parent's executor. Since then the feed has only carried a desktop test build for a single PR.

LobeHub canary.7 runs Codex on users' own devices and turns tasks into a kanban board.
◆ Current state
LobeChat, now shipping as LobeHub, is an agent workspace built around goals, tasks, devices and projects. canary.7 bundles 75 commits: Codex app-server runs on connected devices behind a Labs flag, a task board with Kanban-column creation, archiving and command-menu search, and sub-agents relayed through the parent's executor. Since then the feed has only carried a desktop test build for a single PR.
◆ Where it's heading
Each canary moves more execution off the chat window and onto user devices and background runs: Computer Use in canary.4, shared workspace devices in canary.5, the device-model relay in canary.6, and now third-party coding agents like Codex and OpenCode running on those devices. Tasks are becoming the primary unit of work, with a board, priorities and agent assignees. A new linear_connections table suggests external issue trackers are next to plug into that task layer.
◆ Prediction
v2.2.20 stable will likely roll up canaries 4 through 7, much as v2.2.19 did; a Linear integration surfacing in the task board is the most visible next step the commits point to.
