This release significantly expands model provider support with 12 new built-in providers, adds mouse support and new commands to the TUI, introduces a SafetyPolicy primitive, and includes numerous bug fixes and performance improvements.

What's New

• Adds Baseten as a built-in model provider (provider: baseten)
• Adds OVHcloud AI Endpoints as a built-in model provider (provider: ovhcloud)
• Adds Groq as a built-in model provider (provider: groq)
• Adds DeepSeek as a built-in model provider (provider: deepseek)
• Adds Cerebras as a built-in model provider (provider: cerebras)
• Adds Fireworks AI as a built-in model provider (provider: fireworks)
• Adds Together AI as a built-in model provider (provider: together)
• Adds Hugging Face Inference Providers as a built-in model provider (provider: huggingface)
• Adds Moonshot AI (Kimi) as a built-in model provider (provider: moonshot)
• Adds Vercel AI Gateway as a built-in model provider (provider: vercel)
• Adds Cloudflare Workers AI and Cloudflare AI Gateway as built-in model providers
• Adds mouse support to the agent picker: hover highlights a card, single click selects it, double-click immediately starts the session, and scroll wheel navigates the YAML details panel
• Adds metadata tags field to agent config and surfaces tags as coloured chips in the agent picker
• Adds /effort slash command to select the model's reasoning level directly (available in both full and lean TUI)
• Adds SafetyPolicy primitive (unsafe/safer/strict) to sessions, forwarded to hooks via hooks.Input.SafetyPolicy
• Enforces lifecycle.startup_timeout for MCP/LSP toolset startup, which was previously parsed but never acted on
• Adapts safer_shell hook classification to the session SafetyPolicy
• Collapses file picker keyboard shortcuts to a single line on wide dialogs
• Strengthens default memory toolset instructions

Improvements

• Memoizes successful OCI config reads per process, halving warm startup latency for OCI agent refs
• Suppresses spurious empty-response warning for benign post-tool stops in forked-skill sub-sessions
• Agent picker dialog is larger and truncates long lines instead of wrapping; cards are 70 columns wide

Bug Fixes

• Fixes coalescing of system messages for self-hosted and OpenAI-compatible endpoints that reject multiple system messages (e.g. vLLM with Qwen)
• Fixes OVHcloud default model to Qwen3.5-397B-A17B
• Fixes macOS Option-key characters not triggering file picker alt+h/alt+i visibility toggles
• Removes duplicate "Initializing MCP servers…" spinner from the sidebar that fired on every turn even for agents with no MCP servers
• Adds 5-second timeout to graceful-shutdown calls that previously used WithoutCancel without a deadline, preventing indefinite blocking
• Fixes concurrent Connect races and goroutine leak on startup timeout for MCP/LSP toolsets
• Fixes auto-deny of tool asks in non-interactive sessions instead of blocking indefinitely
• Fixes tool-call confirmations being dropped without a Resume under --yolo in JSON mode
• Fixes Anthropic provider falling back to token thinking for effort levels on models without adaptive thinking support (e.g. Haiku 4.5)
• Fixes tool call render briefly disappearing or shrinking while JSON arguments are still streaming in the lean TUI
• Clamps max_tokens to the context window for OpenAI-compatible providers to prevent "context window exceeded" errors on self-hosted vLLM
• Fixes cost and context limit display in the lean TUI

Technical Changes

• Derives provider API-key env vars forwarded to eval containers from the provider registry instead of a hard-coded list
• Refactors provider client boilerplate into shared helpers across openai, anthropic, gemini, bedrock, and dmr clients
• Consolidates OpenAI-compatible alias provider tests into a single shared test
• Extracts shared calleeObject helper in lint cops to remove duplication
• Adds OTelTracerName lint cop to enforce scoped OpenTelemetry tracer names
• Replaces 44 time.Sleep calls in the test suite with deterministic synchronization primitives
