Released August 26, it adds MCP 2026 core protocol support and an MCP Apps host that renders inline server-supplied applications inside daemon-backed WebShell sessions (GitHub). MCP Apps is the official extension standardizing server-rendered UIs (dashboards, forms, visualizations) delivered from server to host, formalized in the 2026-07-28 specification. This is one of the first shipping coding-agent CLIs to host those UIs rather than only consume tools. The same release adds Concise, Proactive, Explanatory and Learning output styles, a find-simplifications sweep skill that hunts dead code and produces evidence-backed proposals for maintainer review rather than applying them, and Kimi as a built-in provider with both international and China endpoints.
