Docker Agent Files

This release introduces a new models discovery command, contextual help system, and several TUI improvements including persistent warnings and simplified lean mode.

What's New

• Adds docker agent models command to list available models for the --model flag
• Adds contextual help dialog accessible via Ctrl+H (or F1/Ctrl+?) showing all keyboard shortcuts
• Adds --lean flag for simplified TUI mode with minimal interface (just message stream and editor)
• Adds copy button on hover for assistant messages to copy content to clipboard
• Adds Vertex AI Model Garden support for non-Gemini models (Claude, Llama) hosted on Google Cloud

Improvements

• Makes TUI warnings persist until manually dismissed instead of auto-dismissing after 3 seconds
• Preserves recent messages during session compaction to maintain conversational context
• Shows elapsed time and warning for long-running tool calls in the TUI
• Adds desktop_uuid in telemetry alongside user_uuid for better tracking

Bug Fixes

• Fixes markdown rendering in callout notes by adding markdown="1" attribute
• Fixes panic on closed channel by making chanSend non-blocking
• Fixes recursive run_skill loop in context:fork skill sub-sessions
• Fixes docker run --sandbox functionality
• Fixes eval tool_call_response to use correct event field names
• Fixes guard against nil tool_definition in buildTranscript

Technical Changes

• Replaces kin-openapi with pb33f/libopenapi for OpenAPI parsing
• Removes trailing headers handling for rate limit headers
• Tracks command errors with success=false and error details in telemetry
• Ports build system to mise
• Updates Go module dependencies
