## What changed


- Capacity exhaustion classified as terminal, so retries no longer hang
- InvalidStreamError details propagated to the UI with empty-response guidance
- Falls back to embedded macOS seatbelt profiles when missing
- New user message no longer fuses into an unanswered tool response
- `/compress` session reload and quota-fallback tool-response loss repaired
- functionCall thoughtSignature preserved when thought parts are stripped
- Nested gaxios streaming errors unwrapped from the cause message
- Remainder is release plumbing and internal PR-generator infrastructure
