Story

Windsurf v1.9566.9 ships Cascade Hooks to all tiers (previously enterprise-only), a new Model Picker, and MCP refresh button for error recovery. Cascade Hooks enable prompt-level logging and policy-violating prompt blocking -- middleware for your AI coding sessions. This mirrors Claude Code's hooks pattern but with cloud-configurable enterprise management.
