Cline SDK 0.0.70: plan-mode command blocking, context-overflow recovery, session mode field

The SDK release behind this week's Cline CLI, desktop, and extension builds. Plan mode moves from prompt-based restraint to hard rejection of mutating shell commands, context-window overflow is recovered via deterministic compaction, and StartSessionInput gains a mode field. Embedders should expect changed tool-error behavior and session persistence timing.

  • Plan mode rejects file manipulation, in-place editors (sed -i, perl -i), file redirection, mutating git subcommands, package installs, and nested commands (sh -c, eval, sudo, xargs) with a tool error, on Windows and PowerShell too; read-only run_commands still permitted
  • Context-window overflow detected and recovered: deterministic force-compaction with no extra LLM call, one retry; terminal cases fail with an actionable message
  • StartSessionInput gains mode (user, automation, subagent, team) alongside source
  • Root-session persistence is lazy — session id allocated in memory, no DB row until a user turn, so closed empty sessions leave no history entry
  • Fully empty turns retried on all providers; tool-call-only turns and error/token-limit turns pass through unchanged
  • Adaptive-era Claude models (4.6+, 5.x) no longer sent the manual thinking wire shape; baked catalog carries reasoning metadata and unlisted ids are inferred
  • Bedrock emits Converse cachePoint markers instead of the silently-dropped cache_control, restoring prompt caching; no stray cache_control in the request body
  • Bedrock foundation models routed through geo inference profiles
  • OpenAI-compatible reasoning models get max_completion_tokens; image content substituted for models without image support
  • MiniMax default model inherited from models.dev
  • Model layer on AI SDK 7; Ollama on the native provider with fixes for empty think settings, mid-stream errors, attachment-only turns; canonical AI SDK 7 file parts for images
  • sdk.error telemetry deduplicated and rate-limited for unattended retry loops
