  • Web search: Models that support it can search the web during a turn. Off by default; enable the web_search model tool in settings. Search calls and results persist in session history.
  • Dedicated Cline provider: Replaces the generic OpenAI-compatible path for the Cline gateway. Extended thinking budgets and other gateway options now reach the wire for both cline and cline-pass (had silently stopped applying to cline-pass).
  • Hub daemon conflict fixed: Two Cline installations on different builds no longer shut each other's Hub daemon down in a loop. Build identity is compared through a total order, so at most one side can decide to retire the other.
  • Hub replacement fixed: A newer build no longer replaces a Hub serving live sessions — it attaches over the compatible wire protocol; swap happens once the Hub is idle.
  • Development builds now run their own Hub daemon per build id instead of contending for a single record; production keeps its singleton.
  • Idle plugin sandbox processes reclaimed instead of lingering.
  • cline doctor fix now reports honestly: separates processes that survived a kill from ones that appeared while the fix ran, names a live parent respawning a daemon, and reports a startup lock held by a running process as held rather than leaked.
  • Model catalog refreshed: Adds Crusoe as a provider; updates model lists and per-provider default models.
