Configurable swarm effort and richer client workflows

Highlights

• Configure root-model reasoning effort independently for swarm and deep swarm, with the selected effort shown in the effort switcher
• Delegate multi-step browser tasks to a bounded Jev browser session that returns control to the parent agent
• Create and manage separate panels from Markdown or linked PDFs, with bounded PDF payloads and safe Markdown fallback for older TUI clients

Improvements

• Model pickers remember route usage and use shared usage-aware ranking across clients
• Gemini adds project and OAuth-route configuration, and context compaction can be capped below a model's full window
• Native SDK clients gain cancellable OAuth login, local Git worktree operations, per-turn response and edit statistics, swarm lifecycle metadata, and side-panel snapshots
• Light terminal themes have clearer contrast while preserving custom colors, with better-aligned resume previews and Markdown blockquote gutters
• OpenAI tool details begin streaming earlier, and DeepSeek Flash supports image input
• Desktop source checkouts receive dedicated self-development tools and instructions
• The initiative command is temporarily unavailable, while existing initiative data is retained

Fixes

• Active turns survive client reconnects, and restored image attachments retain their positions and batching
• Grok login and model switching preserve the selected authentication route
• OAuth-backed Bash calls honor their configured timeouts
• Ambient configuration changes take effect without restarting the session
• Development builds are protected against unintended backward updates
• Gemini retains tool thought signatures and retries transient Code Assist failures without confusing provider sessions with Jcode sessions
• MCP tools with colliding normalized names remain independently callable without losing their tool policies
• Compatible tmux sessions request extended keys so Shift+Enter reaches the input editor
• Project and global prompt guidance no longer appears twice when it resolves to the same source
• Logs, history and usage displays identify the active provider profile rather than an unrelated route
