+### Patch Changes

+- 4f3a651: Harden delegated agent transport and provider selection, and support stable workspace-vault key rotation without changing app-local OAuth encryption.
+- 4f3a651: Keep interrupted Plan edits on small targeted writes instead of retrying oversized full-plan payloads.

Before rotating A2A, add this key everywhere and read/migrate every existing row while the old A2A material remains available. |
