" summary

Positron is a next‑generation IDE that demonstrates concrete features: a four‑pane data science layout with files, editor, variables, console and plots; a fuzzy command palette and keybindings.json that support runCommands chaining to restart terminals; a Data Explorer that shows types, missingness and histograms and opens compressed CSVs live; pinned tabs and plot theme filters; and Positron Assistant (preview, opt‑in) that uses explicit context and tool calls such as the Get Plot tool and get_changed_files to inspect session state and generate commit messages.
