Today's signal is steadiness: the interface stops flashing during background updates, while the Gateway cuts repeated work and tightens permission handling.
First, interface refresh stability. Six fixes keep accepted views in place when unrelated sessions change or replies finish. Activity permission errors no longer swap back to loading placeholders, as covered in P-R 196939. Files, Sessions and Usage views, Subagents and Processes panels, and the Agent Settings tool…
Second, less Gateway waste. Tool description calls in search mode no longer send full output schemas to the model, a change tied to P-R 196868 that cut millions of characters of context in trials. Session search avoids rebuilding large archived inventories on the main thread, fresh sessions share identical skill…
Third, authority and release hardening. Delegated changes without established full access now follow the permission mode instead of applying automatically, per P-R 196984. Shutdown stops scope observers before restart preparation, ClawHub publishing no longer blocks core release closeout, and the first Claude…
