v1.18.0-pre, published August 26, adds a reload path from the Agent Panel (GitHub). The same preview adds GPT-5.6's 1M-token context on Amazon Bedrock, Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite, Grok 4.5 and 4.6, a configurable edit_predictions.<provider>.prediction_debounce setting, and language-model connection errors that name the unreachable host rather than failing generically. Named-host errors are a small thing that saves a real debugging hour.
