# Factory Droid v0.181.0: slash commands mid-turn, MCP OAuth resource override

> Slash commands now work while the agent is running instead of requiring a wait. MCP server configs can override the OAuth resource indicator. The agent delegates to subagents more selectively on OpenAI models and reuses their reports. Git index lock contention no longer fails checkouts, and BYOK models are scoped to the selected app.
