Changelog

Agent integrations now run on a new plugin foundation, with richer agent settings, clearer installation state, and cleaner MCP and hook wiring. Plus safer external-link handling and release packaging fixes.

Highlights

• Agent plugins: providers now define their commands, capabilities, hooks, models, MCP support, icons, and install metadata through a shared plugin system.
• New agent settings experience with agent detail sheets, install sections, default-agent selection, dependency status, and update cards.
• Improved dependency management with better host dependency detection, latest-version checks, installation sources, and update handling.
• Reworked agent hooks and MCP registration to use plugin metadata consistently across providers.

Everything else

• Cleaner agent selector, hover cards, rows, icons, and stacked agent logos.
• Refined MCP, Skills, Library, and settings surfaces around the new agent model.
• Terminal sessions now track color scheme state more reliably.
• SSH connection metadata is preserved in a more structured form.

Fixes
