Cline 4.1.4: model-initiated plan-to-act switching removed
The model can no longer switch itself out of plan mode mid-turn — that transition is now user-driven only — and plan mode hard-blocks file-editing shell commands. Anyone whose workflow depended on the agent moving itself into act mode has to change how they drive it.

- Model-initiated plan-to-act switching removed; leaving plan mode is a user action
- Plan mode refuses file manipulation, in-place editors, file redirection, mutating git subcommands, and package installs; read-only investigation still works
- Chutes recognized as a provider
- Skills shown alongside workflows in the slash command menu; same-name commands disambiguated instead of shadowing
- A turn completing with a plan is no longer marked failed when a plan-blocked command was its only tool call; toggling to Act re-runs the plan
- Tool paths shown workspace-relative in chat instead of absolute
- Pending attachments reset on new task, so prior images don't carry over
- Clear error when the selected provider has no API key
- MCP tool and resource lists refreshed on
list_changednotifications rather than only toasting - Context exhaustion recovered via compact-and-retry; empty responses retried on all providers
- Claude 4.6+/5.x
thinking.type.enabledrejection fixed - Bedrock prompt caching restored; foundation models via geo inference profiles
max_completion_tokenssent for OpenAI-compatible reasoning models; image substitution for models without image support- MiniMax default from models.dev; catalog adds Infomaniak and SCX.ai
- Error telemetry deduplicated and rate-limited; Linux keybinding label corrected in the Plan/Act tooltip
