Added

  • Add support for client_credentials OAuth grant type for MCP servers, enabling fully headless authentication without a browser

Improved

  • Print "Exiting…" to stderr immediately on Ctrl+C during prompt mode so shutdown progress is visible
  • /research uses an orchestrator/subagent model for more thorough and reliable deep research results
  • Autopilot mode now limits continuation messages to 5 by default (configurable with --max-autopilot-continues)
  • Automatically clean up old CLI package versions from disk during auto-update
  • Remote session statusline shows the remote working directory and branch instead of local context

Fixed

  • Subagents correctly evaluate tool search support for their own model instead of inheriting the parent session's settings
  • Switching sessions with /new or /resume no longer carries over pending messages to the new session
  • CLI no longer hangs at 100% CPU when sending a large file attachment
  • Resume session picker no longer shows duplicate entries for the same Mission Control-backed session
  • Session resume selector displays summaries on a single line, truncated to fit the column width
