    View and stop background commands from a new pill above the composer on supported remote hosts. Mention chats from other connected hosts with @.

Unanswered questions remain available after a turn finishes and when reopening a chat. More reliable replies to questions while another prompt is starting or finishing.

Fixed prompts incorrectly appearing to fail after a response timeout. Corrected extra diff lines after repeated edits to the same file.

The new SDK and CLI versions also have breaking changes that don’t depend on the API version, and they are licensed under Apache 2.0 instead of the MIT License.
