1.1.0 Beta 1

App blueprints for new apps, safer pnpm installs, improved preview loading and errors, and sandboxed large attachment handling

Dyad v1.1.0 Beta 1 introduces app blueprints for new app creation, adds safer pnpm install checks, improves the preview loading and error experience, and enables the sandboxed script path for large attachment handling by default.

Highlights

App blueprints for new app creation

When creating a new app in agent mode, Dyad generates an app blueprint before implementation begins.

The blueprint helps clarify the initial structure, goals, and implementation direction for your app before files are created. This makes new app creation easier to follow and gives Dyad a clearer starting point for the first build step.

Safer pnpm installs with package age checks

Dyad now adds additional safety checks around pnpm installs.

New package installs are gated by package release age to help reduce exposure to recently published packages that may be part of supply chain attacks. Dyad also guides users toward Node v22 or later and the latest pnpm version, which includes newer protections for safer dependency installation.

Improved preview loading and error experience

The app preview now has a clearer loading screen and improved error states. This makes it easier to tell when your app is starting, when Dyad is still waiting on the preview server, and when an error needs attention.

Sandboxed script support for large attachments

Large text and chat context attachment support is experimental and can be configured from Settings > Experiments.

Dyad now enables the sandboxed script path used by the large attachment experiment by default.

This allows Dyad to more effectively analyze larger text and chat context attachments while efficiently managing the context window.

Enhancements

Improved guidance for Neon auth proxy headers to address a common issue when deploying React/Vite with Neon Auth on Vercel.
Improved Claude thinking support with adaptive thinking behavior and configurable thinking levels for OpenAI and Anthropic models.
Redesigned and consolidated back buttons for more consistent navigation.

Feedback

This is a beta release, so feedback is especially helpful—particularly around app blueprints, safer pnpm installs, preview loading and errors, and sandboxed large attachment handling.
