- Added the `xd://` virtual device protocol (`internal-urls/xd-protocol.ts`, `tools/xdev.ts`): tools declaring `loadMode: "discoverable"` are unmounted from the request tools array and driven via `read xd://` (list/docs+schema) and `write xd://<tool>` (execute), gated by the `tools.xdev` setting (default on) and inlined into the system prompt.
- Merged the `irc`, `job`, and `launch` tools into a single `hub` tool (`tools/hub/`, `async/job-manager.ts`): messaging keeps `send`/`inbox`/`list`, job control maps to `wait`/`cancel`/`jobs`, process supervision keeps `start`/`logs`/`stop`/`restart`/`describe` with `ps`, and the unified `wait` races background jobs against peer messages; SDK `IrcTool`/`JobTool`/`LaunchTool` are replaced by `HubTool`.
- Removed the hidden `resolve` tool in favor of the `xd://resolve`/`xd://reject`/`xd://propose` resolution devices, auto-including `write` whenever a deferrable tool or plan mode is present.
- Removed the BM25 tool-discovery system: the `search_tool_bm25` tool, the `tool-discovery` module, the `tools.discoveryMode`/`mcp.discoveryMode`/`mcp.discoveryDefaultServers`/`tools.essentialOverride` settings, per-tool MCP selection, and the `mcp_tool_selection` message type.
- Unified tool presentation on `ToolLoadMode` (`essential`|`discoverable`), replacing the custom-tool `xdev?: boolean` opt-out; custom, extension, MCP, RPC host, image-generation, and TTS tools now default to `discoverable`, and added a `satisfies` predicate to `SoftToolRequirement`.
- Removed the standalone `ssh` command tool and `ssh/ssh-executor` (the `ssh://` read/write/search protocol stays), and made `--tools` address hidden built-ins.
- Updated collab-web to render `xd://` dispatches and `hub` op families, dropped the `search_tool_bm25`/`ssh`/`report-finding` renderers, refreshed tool docs and prompts, and migrated the affected tests and changelogs.
- Replaced legacy `pi/` role alias prefix with canonical `@` syntax across model resolution, documentation, and tests.
- Added support for bare `*` default alias and multiple alias prefix detection with custom role resolution in `resolveConfiguredRolePattern()`.
- Enhanced thinking suffix parsing to accept unambiguous abbreviations (minimum 2 characters) for effort and level selectors.
- Extended `resolveCliModel()` and `filterAvailableModelsByEnabledPatterns()` to accept settings parameter for role alias resolution from `--model` flag.
- Enabled granular task execution by allowing batches to interleave blocking items with non-blocking async background spawns.
- Updated task orchestration to support simultaneous inline result collection and persistent background job tracking.
- Improved agent visibility in the job tool by reporting running subagents even when not explicitly linked to a backing job ID.
- Enhanced terminal state handling to prevent premature tool block closures while async background operations remain active.
- Improved real-time screen rendering by implementing dynamic builder functions for vibe mode components.
- Optimized cursor and spinner rendering to re-derive state from shared mutable options on every paint.
- Added session snapshotting and improved wait logic to accurately detect settled turns and running sessions.
- Ensured reliable toolset restoration during mode transitions through updated logic and new contract tests.
- Implemented /vibe mode providing persistent background worker sessions and five new specialized management tools.
- Developed a multi-view UI featuring a mini-composer for tool calls and a TV wall for real-time worker status, traces, and output monitoring.
- Integrated shimmering effects and stable screen ordering to enhance worker state visibility and session management.
- Added comprehensive unit tests for Vibe tool renderers and updated runtime registry logic to support rich screen snapshots.
