Summary

This release introduces significant new capabilities, including real-time voice mode and experimental support for Gemma 4 models. Several critical bugs were resolved, such as a fatal crash on loop detection and a Windows regression affecting backspace input. Performance was also improved with asynchronous fetching during startup.

New Features

  • Enabled real-time voice mode supporting both cloud and local backends.
  • Added support for Gemma 4 models (experimental).
  • Introduced persistence for the auto-memory scratchpad to improve skill extraction.
  • Enhanced shell command validation and added a core tools allowlist.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a fatal hard-crash that occurred during loop detection due to an unhandled AbortError.
  • Fixed an issue where the 'list' suggestion was incorrectly shown when partial input was not empty.
  • Fixed a Windows regression related to backspace handling in the CLI UI.
  • Fixed the CLI to correctly allow output redirection for commands.
  • Ensured the tool fails closed in YOLO mode when shell parsing fails under restricted rules.
  • Corrected an issue with background color checking in user message components.

Improvements

  • Improved boot time by fetching experiments and quota asynchronously.
  • Updated the message for FatalUntrustedWorkspaceError to include a documentation link.
  • Enforced workspace trust in headless mode and secured .env loading.
