Release Notes

Highlights

• Skills: Explicit skill selections now inject SKILL.md content into the turn; skills load once per session and warn if a file

can’t be read (#7763).

• Config API: config/read is fully typed; config writes preserve comments/order; model is optional to match real configs (#7658,

#7789, #7769).

• TUI/UX: Log files drop ANSI codes; vim navigation for option selection and transcript pager; transcript continuity fix; slash-

command popup no longer triggers on invalid input; experimental tui2 frontend behind a flag (#7836, #7784, #7550, #7363,

#7704, #7793).

• Exec & sandbox: Shell snapshotting, reworked unified-exec events, elevated sandbox allowances (sendmsg/recvmsg), clearer rate-

limit warnings, better request-id logging, and safer escalations (#7641, #7775, #7788, #7779, #7795, #7830, #7750).

• Platform/auth/build: MCP in-session login, remote-branch review support, Windows signing toggles, ConPty vendoring, Nix hash

fixes, and safer release guardrails (#7751, #7813, #7757/#7804/#7806, #7656, #7762, #7834).

• Misc fixes: Unsupported images error cleanly, absolute config paths, parallel test stability, duplicated feature spec removal,

experimental-model prompt/tools, and more (#7478, #7796, #7589, #7818, #7826, #7823, #7765).
