The May 22 update repairs hooks for Devin Local so blocking user prompts work correctly. It also improves plan mode inside the OS sandbox and increases the remove server startup timeout from 2.5 seconds to 6 seconds. In practice, that means the local agent stack should be less brittle during startup and better behaved when a workflow needs approval or a longer initialization window.
For developers using Windsurf as an agentic workspace, this is mostly about removing edge-case friction. Prompt handling and sandbox behavior are core to trust, so even a narrow fix can save time across repeated runs. The startup timeout change also suggests Windsurf is optimizing for reliability over aggressive fast-fail behavior in local agent orchestration.
Update to Windsurf Next if you rely on Devin Local or plan-mode workflows. Then rerun the same local jobs you were already using and watch for fewer blocked prompts, cleaner sandbox execution, and fewer startup failures. If a workflow previously needed manual restarts or retries, this is the release to re-test it against.
