## [v1.32.5] - 2026-03-17

This release improves agent reliability and performance with better tool loop detection, enhanced MCP handling, and various bug fixes.

## What's New

- Adds framework-level tool loop detection to prevent degenerate agent loops when the same tool is called repeatedly
- Adds support for dynamic command expansion in skills using `!\`command\`` syntax
- Adds support for running skills as isolated sub-agents via `context: fork` frontmatter
- Adds CLI flags (`--hook-pre-tool-use`, `--hook-post-tool-use`, etc.) to override agent hooks from command line
- Adds stop and notification hooks with session lifecycle integration

## Improvements

- Reworks thinking budget system to be opt-in by default with adaptive thinking and effort levels
- Caches syntax highlighting results for code blocks to improve markdown rendering performance
- Optimizes MCP catalog loading with single fetch per run and ETag caching
- Derives meaningful names for external sub-agents instead of using generic 'root' name
- Optimizes filesystem tool performance by avoiding duplicate string allocations
- Speeds up history loading with ReadFile and strconv.Unquote optimizations

## Bug Fixes

- Fixes context cancelling during RAG initialization and query operations
- Fixes frozen spinner during MCP tool loading
- Fixes model name display in TUI sidebar for all model types
- Fixes two data races in shell tool execution
- Fixes character handling issues in tmux integration
- Fixes binary download URLs in documentation to match release artifact naming
- Validates thinking_budget effort levels at parse time and rejects unknown values

## Technical Changes

- Removes unused methods from codebase
- Hardens and simplifies MCP gateway code
- Adds logging for selected model in Agent.Model() for better observability
- Fixes pool_size reporting to reflect actual selection pool
- Reverts timeout changes for remote MCP initialization and tool calls
