## Highlights
- **Plan Mode:** Introduce a dedicated "Plan Mode" to help you architect complex
changes before implementation. Use `/plan` to get started.
- **Gemini 3 by Default:** Gemini 3 is now the default model family, bringing
improved performance and reasoning capabilities to all users without needing a
feature flag.
- **Extension Discovery:** Easily discover and install extensions with the new
exploration features and registry client.
- **Enhanced Admin Controls:** New administrative capabilities allow for
allowlisting MCP server configurations, giving organizations more control over
available tools.
- **Sub-agent Improvements:** Sub-agents have been transitioned to a new format
with improved definitions and system prompts for better reliability.
- **SDK & Custom Skills**: Introduced the initial SDK package, dynamic system
instructions, `SessionContext` for SDK tool calls, and support for custom
skills.
- **Policy Engine Enhancements**: Added a `--policy` flag for user-defined
policies, strict seatbelt profiles, and transitioned away from
`--allowed-tools`.
- **UI & Themes**: Introduced a generic searchable list for settings and
extensions, added Solarized Dark and Light themes, text wrapping capabilities
to markdown tables, and a clean UI toggle prototype.
- **Vim Support & Ctrl-Z**: Improved Vim support to provide a more complete
experience and added support for Ctrl-Z suspension.
- **Plan Mode & Tools**: Plan Mode now supports project exploration without
planning and skills can be enabled in plan mode. Tool output masking is
enabled by default, and core tool definitions have been centralized.
