  • commit-push-pr stops rubber-stamping --force

    The bundled `/commit-push-pr` command no longer auto-approves git and gh calls carrying dangerous flags — `--force`, `--amend`, `--no-verify` and the like now wait for your explicit OK. One fewer way an agent quietly rewrites history.

  • Remote Control learns --continue

    `claude remote-control --continue` resumes your most recent Remote Control session, and a stuck working spinner after a laptop-typed slash command is fixed. Smoother if you drive Claude Code from your phone.

  • Plugins can load from a live command

    Marketplace `command` sources let a local tool — your IDE, say — print a plugin directory that's re-resolved each session and applied with no restart; `mode: "link"` uses it in place. Plugins that follow your working checkout instead of a pinned copy.

  • Vertex and Bedrock stop timing out

    SSE keepalive pings now hold gateway streams open through long thinking pauses, ending the idle-timeout disconnects that hit Vertex and Bedrock users. Dynamic workflow fan-outs also stagger same-prefix agents so later ones read the cached prompt instead of re-paying for it.

  • VSCode gets session groups

    The sidebar now supports session groups — right-click to create, rename or delete, Shift-click to move several at once — and the `/btw` side-question panel is drag-resizable. Small, but it tames a crowded session list.

  • Elsewhere: Vercel adds Exa web search to the Gateway

    Exa web search is now an AI Gateway tool that works with any model (and the default in eve), free through Aug 31 with no separate API key. Bolt live web results onto whatever model you're already calling.
