+
+Linear Agent can now set up, run, and test your code before returning its work. That means fewer handoffs and changes that are further along when they come back to you.
+
+We’re also introducing lower, more transparent pricing, making AI credit usage easier to understand and control.
+
+CONFIGURABLE ENVIRONMENTS⁠
+
+Coding sessions now automatically adapt to each codebase’s configuration, with broader out-of-the-box support for Python, Ruby, Go, and more.
+
+During a session, Linear detects and installs the toolchains and dependencies it needs to complete the task. Teams can go further by pinning runtime versions, adding setup scripts, and defining environment variables.
+
+To get started, create an environment in settings. Visit the docs for more details.
+
+BROWSER TESTING⁠
+
+Once the application is running, Linear Agent tests its work where users experience it: in the browser.
+
+The agent opens the app, navigates through a flow, and verifies its implementation. It also captures before-and-after screenshots, making visual changes easier to review alongside the code.
+
+Browser testing can catch broken interactions and visual regressions that code review alone might miss. If the agent finds a problem, it can make a fix, rerun the test, and return the work with that validation complete.

+
+TRANSPARENT PRICING⁠
+
+As coding sessions take on more work, costs need to be easy to understand and easy to control.
+
+Starting today, coding sessions use a lower-cost pricing model with two components:
+
+ * Model usage: Tokens are charged at the provider’s published rates, with no markup
+ * Sandbox runtime: Charged at $0.25 per 20-minute block
+
+Together, model usage and runtime determine the AI credit cost of a session. The usage dashboard shows the breakdown, along with token usage and cost by model.
+
+Admins can also set workspace-wide and per-user spend limits that reset daily, weekly, or monthly. When a limit is reached, additional AI credit usage is paused until the limit resets or an admin increases it.
+
+Learn more about AI credits in the docs.
+

-PROJECT SLACK CHANNELS
-
-Project overview page in Linear titled "Rider onboarding refresh". #p-rider-onboarding-refresh is a Slack channel appearing next to other project properties in the header. [https://webassets.linear.app/images/ornj730p/production/0c4527f4ba7225f8932742103289c47759a4389b-3600x1920.png?q=95&auto=format&dpr=2]
-
-Project teams often use a Slack channel to discuss and share feedback about their project as it takes shape.
-
-Now, Linear can spin up that Slack channel automatically every time a new project is created. All project members are automatically added to the project Slack channel, and project updates post to that channel by default.
-
-When working in a project’s Slack channel, you can use Linear Agent to answer questions or take actions in the project. Try sending messages to the channel like “@Linear what’s our target date?” or “@Linear file this bug and assign it to me.”
-
-Admins can enable channel creation from settings. Learn more about project Slack channels in our documentation.
-
-LINEAR ASKS AGENT⁠
-
-Linear Asks brings internal requests into Linear, where the appropriate team can work on them.
-
-Now, anyone in your Slack workspace can file a request in Linear by mentioning @Linear Asks. Linear checks the templates enabled for that channel, picks the best match, and creates an issue using the conversation as context.
-
-When a template uses required fields, Linear follows up to collect any missing details before creating the issue.
-
-User mentions @Linear Asks in Slack, and Asks replies with a clarifying question -- which laptop model should be sent to Brian? The requester answers and Asks creates the issue. [https://webassets.linear.app/images/ornj730p/production/f63c5535cd554f39a3e1b27be0defe6209ce40fc-3600x2160.png?q=95&auto=format&dpr=2]
-
-Admins can configure Linear Asks agent in settings for any connected Slack workspace. Asks is available on Business and Enterprise plans. Learn more in our documentation.
-
-ISSUE DUPLICATES⁠
-
-Duplicate issues now use a dedicated status type in Linear and move context to the original issue.
-
-When an issue is marked as a duplicate, its customer requests, synced Slack threads, and attachments are moved to the original issue. Whether a teammate, agent or Triage Intelligence marks an issue as a duplicate, the issue context moves to the right place.
-
-Because of theses changes, every issue with a duplicate status must now link to the original issue. On duplicate issues, that original issue is shown clearly in the sidebar.
-
-Duplicate issue underneath the duplicate status in the issue sidebar [https://webassets.linear.app/images/ornj730p/production/75bbf9242df2b3f659b51785e291ce3a3b217169-3600x2058.png?q=95&auto=format&dpr=2]
-
-When the original issue is completed, every synced Slack thread is notified. Each linked customer ticket in Zendesk or Intercom also reopens, so you can keep your customers in the loop.
-
-REORDER GROUPS IN ISSUE AND PROJECT VIEWS⁠
-
-Issues and projects in views are often organized into groups like status, priority, or label. You can now reorder these groups in any list or board view to put the most important sections first.
-
-Click the reorder groups icon in display options, then drag groups into your preferred order. You can reset the view back to the default order at any time.
-
-New icon left of ordering in Display Options on a view that lets you control how swimlanes are ordered. [https://webassets.linear.app/images/ornj730p/production/5f5a0dc9352f10260b070b47e4562408a699fab1-3600x2058.png?q=95&auto=format&dpr=2]
-
-GITHUB ENTERPRISE CLOUD INTEGRATION⁠
-
-Linear now supports GitHub Enterprise Cloud.
-
-Once connected, GitHub Enterprise Cloud users have access to all the benefits of our popular GitHub integration. Linked pull requests update issue statuses automatically, GitHub Issues sync can be enabled for select repos, and you can review PRs natively with Linear Diffs.
-
-This integration is available on Linear’s Enterprise plan. Read more in our documentation, and install the GitHub Enterprise Cloud integration to get started.
