## Project config (arc.toml)
Arc now supports project-level configuration via `arc.toml`. Previously, you had to pass full file paths to `arc run` and configure each run individually. Now, you can define workflow aliases, pull request defaults, and retro settings at the project level. Arc discovers `arc.toml` by walking up from the current directory, similar to how Cargo or Node find their config files.
```toml title="arc.toml"
[workflows]
implement = "arc/workflows/implement.toml"
hello = "arc/workflows/hello.toml"
[retro]
enabled = false
```
```bash
arc run implement # resolves via arc.toml
```
## exe.dev sandbox maturation
The exe.dev sandbox provider now supports the full workflow lifecycle. Previously, exe.dev VMs could run agent stages but lacked git integration, cancellation, and checkpointing — making them unusable for real multi-stage workflows. Now, Arc automatically clones the local git repo into exe.dev VMs, supports remote git checkpointing between stages, and wires up cancellation tokens so stopping a run cleanly tears down the VM.

## More
<Accordion title="CLI">
- Added `[pull_request]` config section in `cli.toml` so auto-PR works with `.dot` files without needing a `run.toml`
- Added `arc cp` command for copying files to/from run sandboxes
- Added `arc pr create` command to create PRs from completed workflow runs
- Added `arc system df` command to show disk usage of run logs and worktrees
- PRs are now created as drafts by default; opt out with `draft = false` in `[pull_request]` config
- Added `[sandbox.local] worktree_mode` config (`always`/`clean`/`dirty`/`never`) for controlling when git worktrees are created
- Added `[pull_request]` config section in `cli.toml` so auto-PR works with `.dot` files
- Added version info (semver, git SHA, build date) to `arc --version`
- Run summary now shows Run ID, logs path, base commit, branch, and PR URL
- Workflow run output now shows local time instead of UTC
- Shortened token and tool count labels in CLI progress output for brevity
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="Improvements">
- Fatal errors now display with colored output and suggest related workflows
- Git push is skipped when the local branch is already in sync with origin
- Subagent status lines now indent deeper than tool calls in CLI progress for clearer hierarchy
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="Fixes">
- Fixed deadlock in retro agent session when event channel fills up
- Fixed PR body rendering bugs in auto-generated pull requests
- Fixed 4 safety bugs in `arc system prune` (symlink traversal, race conditions)
- Fixed `@file` references failing when files aren't tracked by git
- Fixed `arc validate` not supporting TOML workflow config files
- Fixed pipe deadlock in local sandbox when child process output exceeds 64KB
- Fixed shell-quoting of script-assembled arguments to prevent word-splitting issues
- Fixed shell-quoting in sandbox cleanup commands
