Goal creation and amendments no longer trigger an acceptance-criteria check while dcode is drafting their proposed criteria. This removes the misleading “Checking acceptance criteria…” step after /goal amend, including when the previous work was interrupted.


Goal criteria requests bypass the normal task-agent loop, but previously retained the thread's active rubric when they jumped to the end of the graph. That allowed the rubric middleware to grade a proposal-generation run against the old criteria.

Clear only the per-invocation rubric when a proposal is produced. The accepted goal and sticky criteria remain in their dedicated state channels, so normal work continues to be graded after review.

Includes regression coverage for create and amend proposals across synchronous and asynchronous graph execution.

[0.1.45](deepagents-code==0.1.44...deepagents-code==0.1.45)
(2026-07-22)

### Features

- Added the Hooks v2 execution engine and typed hooks data models
([#4880](#4880),
[#4870](#4870))
- Added a filesystem tool allowlist for `dcode` with `--allow-fs-tools`
([#4635](#4635))
- Added a GLM-5.2 harness profile
([#4710](#4710))
- Added a built-in thread inspector skill
([#4769](#4769))
- Replaced Gemini 3.5 Flash with Gemini 3.6 Flash in the model switcher
([#4890](#4890))
- Show experimental mode in the splash screen and debug console
([#4863](#4863))
- Gate debug console click-to-copy behind a checkbox
([#4810](#4810))

### Bug Fixes

- Improved scratch-file handling by allowing cleanup of agent-created
scratch files and safe OS-temp scratch artifacts
([#4860](#4860),
[#4869](#4869))
- Skip grading during `/goal` proposals
([#4941](#4941))
- Improved MCP approval handling: Esc now aborts project MCP approval,
disabled MCP servers are honored for plugins, remembered approvals are
preserved with the env allowlist, and approvals are shared across Git
worktrees
([#4888](#4888),
[#4848](#4848),
[#4889](#4889),
[#4939](#4939))
- Hardened installer downloads and paths
([#4871](#4871))
- Fixed forced `dcode update` checks to bust the CDN cache
([#4862](#4862))
- Prevented failed exit setup from stranding the app
([#4913](#4913))
- Fixed routing so `ctrl+x` goes to the focused `ask_user` input
([#4926](#4926))
- Show `-m` prompts as queued immediately on startup
([#4861](#4861))
- Kept harness-profile diagnostics out of terminal output
([#4943](#4943))
- Avoid tracking inline restart callers
([#4894](#4894))
- Fixed debug console thread ID copying on click
([#4945](#4945))

### Performance Improvements

- Reduced exit latency by coordinating async shutdown teardown
([#4831](#4831))
- Sped up local context detection
([#4922](#4922))
