Release Notes

2026-09-30 - Add support for GPT-6.1 Sol in model selection - Add --mcp-github-auth to scope GitHub account auth to approved MCP server origins - Add session-scoped read-only directory approvals to path access prompts - Permission prompts remain answerable after resuming interrupted sessions. - Auto-approval now takes into account messages you type while the agent is working, as it already did for prompts sent while it was idle - Compaction now returns a summary even when instructions ask for tool use. - Copying selected text on Wayland now finishes as soon as wl-copy accepts it, instead of timing out and falling back to the in-process clipboard that can print "Somebody else owns the clipboard now" over the UI - A narrow Sessions sidebar drops keyboard hints that do not fit instead of cutting one off mid-word - MCP tools recover after transient discovery failures without restarting the session; unchanged catalogs remain available during recovery. - "No supported model available" is no longer shown on launch or in the model picker when a configured provider already supplies a model - MCP tool calls complete even when servers keep sending progress updates after responding - A fresh launch no longer prints "Failed to read model provider attribution" errors while it signs in - MCP OAuth sign-in to servers such as Datadog reuses a still-valid cached token - Withdrawn running prompts stay removed after session resume - Click anywhere on expanded tool calls in compact timeline to collapse them - Holding Space and Ctrl+X V explain when voice mode is off or still getting ready
