Summary
On July 13, 2026, Sourcegraph added inner-loop agent rendering to Batch Changes, streaming the thinking and execution progress of coding agents like Claude Code and Codex directly in the UI, and shipped log caching, server-side step cache keys independent of agent version, and schema-aware batch-spec suggestions.
What changed
Sourcegraph Batch Changes now renders inner-loop coding-agent progress and events in human-readable form, persists logs for cached executions, moves step cache-key generation server-side (independent of agent version), and restored schema-aware batch-spec editor suggestions.
Why it matters
Running coding agents across many repositories at once needs visibility and caching to stay debuggable and affordable; surfacing agent reasoning in Batch Changes turns large-scale automated refactors into an observable, cacheable workflow rather than an opaque batch job.
Evidence excerpt
Added UI renderers for inner-loop coding agents to display execution progress and events in a human-readable format. Logs now persist in the UI for cached batch change executions. Step cache key generation moved server-side, making it independent of agent version changes.
