Configurable swarm effort and richer client workflows
Highlights
- Configure root-model reasoning effort independently for swarm and deep swarm, with the selected effort shown in the effort switcher
- Delegate multi-step browser tasks to a bounded Jev browser session that returns control to the parent agent
- Create and manage separate panels from Markdown or linked PDFs, with bounded PDF payloads and safe Markdown fallback for older TUI clients
Improvements
- Model pickers remember route usage and use shared usage-aware ranking across clients
- Gemini adds project and OAuth-route configuration, and context compaction can be capped below a model's full window
- Native SDK clients gain cancellable OAuth login, local Git worktree operations, per-turn response and edit statistics, swarm lifecycle metadata, and side-panel snapshots
- Light terminal themes have clearer contrast while preserving custom colors, with better-aligned resume previews and Markdown blockquote gutters
- OpenAI tool details begin streaming earlier, and DeepSeek Flash supports image input
- Desktop source checkouts receive dedicated self-development tools and instructions
- The initiative command is temporarily unavailable, while existing initiative data is retained
Fixes
- Active turns survive client reconnects, and restored image attachments retain their positions and batching
- Grok login and model switching preserve the selected authentication route
- OAuth-backed Bash calls honor their configured timeouts
- Ambient configuration changes take effect without restarting the session
- Development builds are protected against unintended backward updates
- Gemini retains tool thought signatures and retries transient Code Assist failures without confusing provider sessions with Jcode sessions
- MCP tools with colliding normalized names remain independently callable without losing their tool policies
- Compatible tmux sessions request extended keys so Shift+Enter reaches the input editor
- Project and global prompt guidance no longer appears twice when it resolves to the same source
- Logs, history and usage displays identify the active provider profile rather than an unrelated route
