This week, working with files and shells on Railway gets a lot more powerful. Volumes get full file management from the CLI with an interactive TUI browser for navigating, editing, and transferring files over SFTP.
We gave the Railway Agent a computer. The chat agent now gets a sandbox VM of its own, so it can clone a repo, run commands, edit files, and open a pull request without you copy-pasting code into the conversation. Static IP egress now supports high-availability with traffic distributed across three gateways and automatic failover.
This week, the Railway iOS app [landed in TestFlight](https://railway.com/mobile)! You can spin up services, get notified if anything goes wrong, read logs, view metrics, and deploy fixes, all from your pocket. No more keeping a laptop within arm's reach every weekend.
If your agent can deploy services, set variables, and read logs, it should also be able to discover templates and scale replicas on its own. This week, one command sets up your CLI, agent skills, and MCP server in one shot. Template search now works the same way everywhere: dashboard, canvas, command palette, and CLI all share one backend.
One `curl` shouldn't be enough to wipe a production database, [especially when an agent is the one firing it off](https://blog.railway.com/p/your-ai-wants-to-nuke-your-database). This week, volume deletions over the API soft-delete for 48 hours, matching the safety net the dashboard already had.
