 # Changelog
 
+## 0.9.1 (2026-09-13)
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **`zai` default model is `glm-image`** (live-verified against
+  `api.z.ai/api/paas/v4/images/generations` — the endpoint rejects
+  `cogview-4`/`cogview-3-flash` with "Unknown Model"; GLM-Image returns
+  URL results).
+- **Failed image downloads no longer waste the generation** — some upstreams
+  return URL-only results and the CDN can be unreachable from the local
+  network (e.g. `mfile.z.ai` DNS-sinkholed). The tool now reports
+  "Not saved (image host unreachable…)" with the URL instead of failing the
+  provider; inline image blocks are still attached for saved files.
