on GitHub

What shipped in v0.8.56

14 merged PRs from 9 contributors across localization, provider routing, prefix-cache stability, shell safety, web search, PDF fixes, paste handling, and bug fixes.

Added

• Status picker localization — 7 MessageIds localized across all supported locales (#2896, @gordonlu)
• Approval dialog localization — approval dialog now localized across 7 locales (#2891, @gordonlu)
• Volcengine provider in TUI dispatcher — launch directly into Volcengine-backed sessions (#2923, @hongchen1993)
• Dispatcher API-key preference — CLI-provided API keys now preferred over saved root keys (#2928, @hongchen1993)
• Qwen 3.6 Plus model support — complete model resolution with dedicated tests (#2930, @idling11)
• Oversized paste spill — pastes >10 KB written to .codewhale/pastes/ instead of dropped (#2920, @sximelon)
• Cross-session prompt cache — disk-backed cache so mode flips and restarts reuse the byte-stable prefix

Fixed

• Background shell routing — >5s shell commands auto-routed to background tasks with instant panel sync on cancel (#2947, #2941, @cyq1017, @idling11)
• allow_shell error naming — refusal errors now name allow_shell = false and suggest the escape hatch (#2905, @cyq1017)
• Prefix-cache stability across mode flips — allow_shell decoupled from static prompt prefix so mode changes don't rebuild message[0] (#2949, @LeoAlex0)
• visibility="internal" explained — models stop narrating their mode between steps (#2951, @LeoAlex0)
• Bocha web search response handling — updated for upstream API change (#2946, @h3c-hexin)
• PDF read hang — full-PDF reads use extract_text_by_pages to avoid hangs (#2898, @idling11)
• 9 critical bugs — ContentBlockStop cleanup, missing #[test], ApprovalField labels, and more (#2880, @HUQIANTAO)

Changed

• Removed deprecated deepseek shim references from CNB mirror path
• Applied cargo fmt to crates/tools/src/file.rs
