2026.11.3

Highlights

  • Private task results: Keep private subagent completions out of streamed chat replies. (#188490) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
  • Reliable child-task handoffs: Allow a parent to hand off to replacement work after cancelling a child, without leaving the cancelled child's completion receipt blocking the handoff. (#178893; related #178565) Thanks @brianmcguire and @letsc4.
  • Visible tool failures: Report unanswered tool failures instead of silently ending a user-addressed turn as a success. (#182458; related #99645) Authored by @steipete. Thanks @rdleclerc.
  • Bounded authentication: Stop stalled provider authentication at the run deadline and propagate cancellation through authentication work. (#189144) Thanks @amittell.
  • Sandboxed image access: Keep required-sandbox image previews inside allowed folders, even in Full Access mode, while preserving explicit administrator image allowances. (#176203) Thanks @shakkernerd.
  • Verified workspace connections: Preserve saved node certificate pins when an empty fingerprint is supplied, and verify workspace-transfer certificates before sending credentials or data. (#125646, #190002) Thanks @wanyongstar and @avelev99.
  • Faster, responsive Gateway: Reduce startup module-file loading overhead and avoid stalls when abort-command detection encounters long punctuation runs. (#192217, #184433) Thanks @karkarl, @RomneyDa, @LeizhenZhang, and @obviyus.

Changes

No new configuration options or features.

Fixes

  • Credential isolation: Keep reused and cached plugin results scoped to their connection credentials, and keep other plugins' transport hooks on the provider's origin. (#178444, #177974, #189423) Authored by @steipete. Thanks @obviyus.
  • Search and memory credentials: Keep Firecrawl search and scrape keys with their scoped endpoints and embedding credentials with their destination. (#190706, #184966) Thanks @zhangguiping-xydt and @eleqtrizit.
  • Credential redaction: Redact inline environment credentials from configuration reads and reflected search credentials from Exa errors. (#190618, #178745) Authored by @steipete. Thanks @yetval.
  • Child-process environments: Prevent managed Signal daemons and bundled language servers from inheriting unrelated Gateway secrets. (#179198, #179415) Thanks @VACInc.
  • Authentication errors: Surface credential-read failures rather than treating them as missing credentials, and reject explicitly selected auth profiles belonging to incompatible providers. (#173970, #181597) Authored by @steipete. Thanks @vincentkoc.
  • Channel safety: Keep incoming Twitch IRC content out of parser error logs and require explicit request IDs when multiple Tlon approvals are pending. (#174552, #186243) Authored by @steipete. Thanks @mmaps.
  • Scheduled jobs: Handle queued cron storage failures without exiting the Gateway, and clear one-shot cleanup when a job becomes recurring. (#175678, #168985) Authored by @steipete. Thanks @yxshee, @wangmiao0668000666, and @obviyus.
  • Updates: Let profile-backed updates recognize their own maintenance lock and preserve cancellation when ledger writes are deferred. (#177792, #187998) Thanks @GrahamMcBain and @vincentkoc.
  • Update recovery: Recover safely when the initial package-presence check times out, requiring a fresh valid directory identity before replacement and retaining rollback to the original package. (#181906) Authored by @steipete.
  • Anthropic usage caps: Recognize exhausted plural usage-limit errors without spending the transient rate-limit retry budget. (#176186; related #176179) Thanks @sunlit-deng and @blue-dot-1.
  • Terminal sessions: Forward /reset soft to the Gateway instead of hard-resetting the session. (#172431) Thanks @yetval and @obviyus.
  • Git recovery: Preserve uncertain command failures during Git repair rather than treating an unconfirmed operation as successful. (#176006) Authored by @steipete.
  • Memory provider selection: Accept mixed-case none and auto provider values. (#186310) Authored by @steipete. Thanks @sagealice2002-dotcom.
