Release Notes
- Added $.ui.selection() for mods: returns the text you last selected in fullscreen mode and, when the selection lies within one transcript row, that row
- Added a built-in gh api to cloud sessions whose image has no GitHub CLI, and fixed the built-in sending control characters from file names, jq filters or GitHub errors to the terminal
- Added recovery for a prompt cleared with Ctrl+C: pressing Up on the empty prompt brings the draft back, including pasted text and images
- Added a re-authenticate prompt when an MCP server asks for more OAuth scope during a tool call
- Added --max-findings <n>|all to /code-review to report more or fewer findings than the usual limit; the choice is reused until you pass --max-findings default
- Added Ctrl+F to find a session by name and Alt+↑/↓ to jump between groups in the agents view; both, and rename, can be rebound in keybindings.json
- Added a screen reader mode announcement of the new permission mode when you approve a plan, including with Shift+Tab
- Fixed mid-response API timeouts failing the turn: non-interactive sessions and subagents now continue from the partial response, and thinking-only responses are retried
- Fixed long conversations failing with "Prompt is too long" instead of auto-compacting when the last reply reported
