Known issues we've tracked

REBRAND (2026-06-02): **Windsurf is now Devin Desktop.** Cognition shipped the rename as an over-the-air update (build 2026.5.26) -- windsurf.com/editor now titles itself 'Devin Desktop' and the changelog has become 'Devin Docs.' Nothing breaks: plans, pricing, settings, and extensions carry over unchanged. What's new in the bundle: the local agent is branded **Devin Local**, and **Devin Cloud agent access now starts on the $20 Pro plan** (previously enterprise-only positioning). The rebrand completes the post-acquisition consolidation -- Cognition now ships one product family (Devin Cloud, Devin Desktop, Devin Review) instead of two brands. Context: Cognition announced 2026-05-27 it has raised over $1B at a $26B valuation (Lux Capital, General Catalyst, 8VC)
2026-06-02•Devin blog (devin.ai/blog, 'Windsurf is now Devin Desktop', 2026-06-02), windsurf.com/editor, Cognition blog (cognition.ai/blog, 'More Devins in More Places')
PRODUCT (2026-05-12): Windsurf bundled **Devin Review** into all paid Windsurf IDE tiers at no extra cost -- self-serve subscribers get a 2-week free trial of Devin Review. Two flavors: 'Fast' (quick PR scan) and 'Comprehensive' (deep review with Devin reasoning). Same-day shipped: **Claude Opus 4.7 fast mode** added to the Windsurf model picker. The Devin Review integration is the most concrete payoff yet from the Cognition acquisition of Windsurf -- the IDE now embeds Cognition's flagship code-review agent without a separate Cognition contract, narrowing Cursor's PR-review edge (Cursor 3.3 5/7 PR review experience). Practical implication: any team comparing Cursor vs Windsurf for PR-review-in-editor should re-evaluate now -- the 2-week free trial gives a clean A/B on Cognition's review quality before committing.

SECURITY (2026-04-15): CVE-2026-30615 -- a prompt-injection vulnerability in Windsurf 1.9544.26 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands on a victim system. Severity 8.0 (HIGH) per CISA-ADP scoring; NIST has not yet enriched the entry. Update past 1.9544.26 to a newer build. Caveat: NVD publicly notes 'this CVE record is not being prioritized for NVD enrichment efforts due to resource or other concerns,' so the canonical severity score comes from CISA-ADP rather than NIST -- but the underlying vulnerability is real and the recommendation to update is unchanged

Windsurf Pro was raised from $15/mo to $20/mo in March 2026, and the entire credit system shifted from a monthly allocation to daily/weekly quotas. If your old monthly budget assumed evenly-distributable credits, the new quota cadence may surprise you in burst-usage weeks

Windsurf 2.0 Agent Command Center is new as of 2026-04-15 -- expect early rough edges in multi-agent handoff and background-agent commit tracking over the next few weeks

Cascade sometimes enters loops where it repeatedly tries to fix the same error with the same approach -- long-standing issue that Agent Command Center may help surface but hasn't eliminated
