 ## Highlights
 
-- **Context Management:** Introduced a Context Compression Service to optimize
-  context window usage and landed a background memory service for skill
-  extraction.
-- **Enhanced Security:** Implemented context-aware persistent policy approvals
-  for smarter tool permissions and enabled `web_fetch` in plan mode with user
-  confirmation.
-- **Workflow Monitoring:** Added background process monitoring and inspection
-  tools for better visibility into long-running tasks.
-- **UI/UX Refinements:** Enhanced the tool confirmation UI, selection layout,
-  and added support for selective topic expansion and click-to-expand.
-- **Core Stability:** Improved sandbox reliability on Linux and Windows,
-  resolved shebang compatibility issues, and fixed various crashes in the CLI
-  and core services.
+- **Refactored Subagents and Unified Tooling:** Consolidate subagent tools into
+  a single `invoke_subagent` tool, removed legacy wrapping tools, and improved
+  turn limits for codebase investigator.
+- **Advanced Memory and Skill Management:** Introduced `/memory` inbox for
+  reviewing extracted skills and added skill patching support, enhancing agent
+  learning and persistence.
+- **Expanded Test and Evaluation Infrastructure:** Added memory and CPU
+  performance integration test harnesses and generalized evaluation
+  infrastructure for better suite organization.
+- **Sandbox and Security Hardening:** Centralized sandbox paths for Linux and
+  macOS, enforced read-only security for async git worktree resolution, and
+  optimized Windows sandbox initialization.
+- **Enhanced CLI UX and UI Stability:** Improved scroll momentum, added a
+  `debugRainbow` setting, and resolved various memory leaks and PTY exhaustion
+  issues for a smoother terminal experience.
