Releases

This week's release includes BYOK support for Claude Opus 5.5 (Anthropic) and GPT-6 Astra, Sol, and Luna (OpenAI), per-call model overrides in spawn_agent, automatic subagent compaction, and dynamically fetched OpenCode models.

• Added BYOK support for Claude Opus 5.5 with an Anthropic API key. (#64627)
• Added an optional model parameter to spawn_agent to choose a model for that spawn instead of using the configured subagent model or inheriting the parent model, with the active model shown in its card. (#64498; thanks itsfuad)
• Added Grok 4.7 to the SuperGrok and xAI providers and made it their recommended default. (#64567; thanks raphaelluethy)
• Added Z.ai GLM to the Mistral provider. (#63535; thanks ummon-v)

• Added support for "..." in edit_predictions.disabled_globs and edit_predictions_disabled_in so settings can extend inherited edit prediction exclusions and scopes. (#64540, #64546; thanks porada)
• Enabled compaction for subagents. (#64135)
• Improved OpenCode model availability by fetching the Zen and Go model list dynamically instead of relying on one bundled with Zed. (#64585)

Git

Breaking Changes and Notices

• Removed Stop controls from external-agent-managed terminals, which are controlled by the agent rather than a local process. (#64544)
• Changed Threads Sidebar settings to agent.threads_sidebar.position, agent.threads_sidebar.default_width, and agent.threads_sidebar.auto_open, grouped together in the Settings Editor. Existing settings are migrated automatically. (#64395; thanks joshkent94)
• Changed the shortcut for closing the active dock from cmd-w (macOS) or ctrl-w (Linux/Windows) to ctrl-alt-w on all platforms. (#64515)
• Changed terminal.path_hyperlink_regexes so a top-level "..." entry now inserts inherited regexes. To retain the previous three-character regex, replace that entry with ["..."]. (#64552; thanks porada)
• Stopped importing VS Code’s files.watcherInclude as file_scan_inclusions; watch roots are not Git-ignore overrides. (#64440; thanks porada)
