Release Notes
Added - Add reasoning effort support (including xhigh) for DeepSeek thinking models. - Improve the ClinePass provider experience with clearer reasoning controls and model selection. Fixed - Show reasoning effort controls for ClinePass models and align ClinePass model resolution with the rest of the provider. - Prefer canonical Cline Z.ai model ids and polish ClinePass and Z.ai model metadata. - Fix environment variable replacement in the webview. - Default focus chain settings in webview state so the toggle reflects the correct value on load.
