- Daemon-owned runtimes can now complete authorized external text writes via built-in tools without disabling ACP delegation or widening workspace boundaries. ([#8852](https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code/pull/8852)) by @doudouOUC
- Fixed a bug where setting QWEN_CODE_SERVE to 0 or false incorrectly removed NODE_OPTIONS and NODE_PATH during direct ACP launches. ([#8811](https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code/pull/8811)) by @yiliang114
- Fixed an issue where refreshing a provider template incorrectly reset the user's selected model if that model belonged to a different provider. ([#8868](https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code/pull/8868)) by @yiliang114
- Ported remaining hardening improvements to the verify gate to prevent unnecessary full re-runs caused by identity-less failures. ([#8878](https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code/pull/8878)) by @wenshao
- Fixed sandbox container name collisions in shared daemon environments by switching to random 8-character hex suffixes for container names. ([#8880](https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code/pull/8880)) by @wenshao
- Fixed the provider update prompt to respect the 'Remind me later' choice by persisting a 24-hour cooldown instead of re-prompting on every startup. ([#8829](https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code/pull/8829)) by @qwen-code-dev-bot
- Review comments posted via /review are now formatted with proper paragraphs and lists to improve readability when unresolved Criticals or coverage disclosures are present. ([#8825](https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code/pull/8825)) by @wenshao

#### Performance

- The review process now guarantees compose and submission survive budget stops by reserving a 20-minute floor for composition before verification. ([#8791](https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code/pull/8791)) by @wenshao
- Automatic review timeouts for micro diffs under 25 lines are now halved to reduce latency while maintaining high effort and inline comments. ([#8774](https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code/pull/8774)) by @wenshao
- Code review performance is improved for diffs over 3000 lines by reducing audit rounds and disabling the specialist agent to prevent timeouts. ([#8773](https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code/pull/8773)) by @wenshao
- Made the triage job timeout configurable via the QWEN_TRIAGE_TIMEOUT_MINUTES repository variable to prevent premature cancellations of long-running checks. ([#8810](https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code/pull/8810)) by @wenshao

#### Documentation

- Korean (한국어) has been added to the documentation language bar in the README to provide direct access to localized guides. ([#8836](https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code/pull/8836)) by @dss1222

#### Internal Changes

- Synchronized the external-context workspace version in the dependency lockfile to prevent unnecessary local install churn and working tree dirtiness. ([#8858](https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code/pull/8858)) by @wenshao
- Removed the legacy /demo debug page from the daemon as its functionality is fully covered by the main Web Shell interface. ([#8805](https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code/pull/8805)) by @wenshao
- Improved Web Shell session switching to retry when a target session is still closing instead of immediately reporting a permanent error. ([#8864](https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code/pull/8864)) by @yiliang114
