Summary

This release simplifies the user experience by merging slash commands and skills and introduces a new configuration option to select the release channel ('stable' or 'latest'). Several critical bugs were fixed, including issues with plan file persistence after clearing conversations and incorrect model usage in sub-agents. Additionally, VS Code users gain more control over permission saving destinations.

New Features

  • Added a release channel toggle ('stable' or 'latest') accessible via the `/config` command.
  • [VSCode] Added a clickable destination selector for permission requests, allowing users to choose where settings are saved (this project, all projects, shared with team, or session only).

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed plan files persisting across `/clear` commands, ensuring a fresh plan file is used after clearing a conversation.
  • Fixed false skill duplicate detection on filesystems with large inodes (e.g., ExFAT) by implementing 64-bit precision for inode values.
  • Fixed mismatch between the background task count displayed in the status bar and the items shown in the tasks dialog.
  • Fixed sub-agents using the incorrect model during conversation compaction.
  • Fixed web search in sub-agents using the incorrect model.
  • Fixed trust dialog acceptance when running from the home directory, ensuring trust-requiring features like hooks are enabled for the session.

Improvements

  • Merged slash commands and skills, simplifying the mental model without changing user behavior.
  • Added detection and warnings for unreachable permission rules, providing source information and actionable fix guidance in `/doctor` and after saving rules.
  • Improved terminal rendering stability by preventing uncontrolled writes from corrupting cursor state.
  • Improved slash command suggestion readability by truncating long descriptions to 2 lines.
  • Increased the tool hook execution timeout from 60 seconds to 10 minutes.
