Overview
- The new release enables native image requests through model adapters and lets formerly text-only commands such as /goal and /plan accept images so prompts can include screenshots, files and past dialogue.
- Persistent image attachments were added to the message and attachment persistence systems and PTC Mode can now forward nested images so images stay available across multiple calls.
- The update fixes two common image failure modes that caused requests to fail: oversized image payloads and accumulated historical-image payloads in multi-turn conversations.
- Claude Code and Codex were removed from the base distribution and converted to on-demand Profile Bundles, and Codex gained a non-interactive mode, support for multiple named instances, and improved child-to-parent task reporting.
- Tooling and performance changes include concurrent web_search queries, persistent PowerShell sessions on Windows PTY, and faster, smaller SQLite storage at the cost of an incompatible schema; DeepSeek v4 has not released a visual model yet but third-party visual models can be used with the new adapters and users should follow the project migration notes and brand rules.
