v8.20.0 - PR Automation & Code Quality 🤖🛡️

Release Date: November 8, 2025

This release introduces comprehensive PR automation tools, Groq bridge integration for ultra-fast code analysis, and an enhanced agent ecosystem that transforms the development workflow.

🎯 Highlights

Time Savings

• 10-30 minutes per PR - Automated Gemini review cycles eliminate manual wait times
