1.0.22 — 2026-09-07

Features

  • Built-in agent tools now take precedence over user MCP servers when tool names collide.

  • Remote control pickers can now group servers by device using announced device identity.
  • edit_file diffs now show real file line numbers instead of starting at line 1.

  • Foreground shell commands no longer produce spurious background-task reminders or incorrect kill results.
  • Queued follow-up buttons now appear in the order [Send now][edit][cancel].

Features
