## Highlights

- **Simplified Modes:** Merged existing Auto modes into a single, unified Auto
mode for a more streamlined user experience.
- **Enhanced Agent Registration:** Improved agent registration logic to
prioritize project-specific agents using a first-wins strategy.
- **New Developer Skills:** Introduced `agent-tui` and `tui-tester` skills to
empower developers with better terminal UI testing and automation
capabilities.
- **Expanded Editor Support:** Added support for Sublime Text and Emacs Client,
providing more flexibility for external editing tasks.
- **Session Management:** Added new session invocation types
(`LocalSessionInvocation`, `RemoteSessionInvocation`) and improved context
recovery across sessions.
- **Context Simplification:** Completed major architectural work to simplify and
optimize how the agent manages and processes session context.
- **A2A Usage Metadata:** The Agent-to-Agent (A2A) interface now exposes
detailed usage metadata, providing better visibility into resource
consumption.
- **Improved Routing:** Updated default auto-routing logic and added bypasses
for certain routing classifiers to prevent orphaned function response errors.
- **Terminal Stability:** Fixed several issues affecting terminal environments,
including Termux relaunch loops and PTY resize errors.
- **Security & Fixes:** Strengthened MCP list security and addressed issues with
session resumption and PTY environment signals.
