ZCode’s October 23 release notes describe version 3.16.3 as a desktop-agent maintenance update. The changes focus on keeping documents, input and background work consistent across sessions and remote connections. These are the vendor’s release claims; the notes do not announce a new GLM foundation model.

At a glance
- Document viewing state is separated by session. Document plugins share one process, and background retention has an upper limit; the vendor says these changes reduce resource use, without publishing measurements.
- The notes report fixing possible data corruption during simultaneous session writes, missing subdirectories after session restoration, and subagents being unable to view documents already open in their session.
- Closing the final terminal tab is said to terminate its background process. Missing built-in component files are rebuilt automatically; a container-specific official-plugin cache update failure is also listed as fixed.
- Input fixes cover lag with long text or input methods and unfinished IME text being lost on task changes. Residual tool cards and unread notices for interrupted conversations are also addressed.
- Remote changes include clearer failure messages, compatibility fixes, lower reported sending latency and mobile-terminal repairs. A failed remote-directory read should leave the local project list visible; model tests with only a remote project open are also repaired.
- Support can now use a copied device ID, while a login link that fails to launch can be copied for manual login. Other changes concern project recognition, file-tree placement, installed-plugin ordering, marketplace navigation and hovering over update notes.
Why it matters
For people using several sessions or remote projects, the useful follow-up is to check whether drafts, restored directories and terminal processes now match the intended task state. That is our suggested validation, not a test result. The source gives no quantified memory or latency improvement.
Limits and availability
This brief covers the complete, short 3.16.3 release block, dated October 23 at day precision. We did not install the app or reproduce the fixes. The notes do not establish affected-version ranges, recovery of already corrupted data, operating-system coverage for every fix, plan eligibility or a rollout timetable. The manual-login option does not remove authentication requirements.
