Changelog
Releases
- cli-v3.0.38CLI v3.0.38Jul 7, 2026
- New plan/act accent palette: act mode is now blue (`#79b8ff`) and plan mode amber, replacing the old cyan/yellow — applied across dialogs, the model selector, config, onboarding, markdown, and syntax highlighting, with light-theme variants tuned for contrast
- Restyled chat input: a minimal frame with full-width horizontal rules and a bold accent prompt glyph instead of the tinted background, plus slimmer user-message bubbles
- Assistant markdown accents are now tinted by the mode (plan/act) they were produced in
- cli-v3.0.37CLI v3.0.37Jul 4, 2026
- Weaker models (e.g. DeepSeek) that emit malformed tool calls — wrong argument types or truncated JSON — are now handled gracefully and run instead of erroring out
- Plan/act mode switches are now visible to the model, so it knows when you change modes mid-session
- Fixed plan/act mode notices being dropped from prompts sent to the model
- cli-v3.0.36CLI v3.0.36Jul 3, 2026
- Fixed plan mode's `switch_to_act_mode` tool not taking effect until the end of the turn: the model would keep running with plan-mode tools (no file editor) and fall back to editing files through shell commands. Switching to act mode now ends the plan-mode run and automatically continues with the approved plan using the full act-mode toolset. A Tab mode toggle racing a completing turn can no longer auto-start plan execution you didn't approve.
