Release Notes
- Merged slash commands and skills, simplifying the mental model with no change in behavior

- Fixed false skill duplicate detection on filesystems with large inodes (e.g., ExFAT) by using 64-bit precision for inode values
- Fixed mismatch between background task count in status bar and items shown in tasks dialog
- Fixed sub-agents using the wrong model during conversation compaction
- Fixed web search in sub-agents using incorrect model
- Fixed trust dialog acceptance when running from the home directory not enabling trust-requiring features like hooks during the session

- [VSCode] Added clickable destination selector for permission requests, allowing you to choose where settings are saved (this project, all projects, shared with team, or session only)
