Releases

• Fixed a regression where the toolchain path selector would immediately dismiss upon selecting a path, preventing the addition of new toolchains. (#49528)

This week's release includes session history for external agents, agent panel restoration (so your threads survive editor restarts), thinking effort level controls for supported models, mermaid diagram support in markdown preview, and the option to include LSP document symbols in breadcrumbs and outline UI ("document_symbols": "on").
