 ## Highlights
 
-- **Offline Search Support:** Bundled ripgrep binaries into the Single
-  Executable Application (SEA) to enable powerful codebase searching even in
-  environments without internet access.
-- **Enhanced Theme Customization:** Introduced GitHub-style colorblind-friendly
-  themes to improve accessibility and provide more personalized visual options.
-- **MCP Resource Management:** Added new tools for listing and reading Model
-  Context Protocol (MCP) resources, enhancing the agent's ability to discover
-  and utilize external data.
-- **Improved Narrative Flow:** Enabled topic update narrations by default to
-  provide better session structure and a clearer understanding of the agent's
-  current focus.
-- **Streamlined Local Model Setup:** Introduced a simplified `gemini gemma`
-  command for quickly setting up and running Gemma models locally.
-- **Prompt-Driven Memory Management:** Replaced the legacy `MemoryManagerAgent`
-  with a more efficient prompt-driven memory editing system across four tiers of
-  context.
+- **Auto Memory Inbox:** Introduced a new inbox flow for Auto Memory using a
+  canonical-patch contract, enabling more robust and manageable skill
+  extraction.
+- **Gemma 4 Default:** Gemma 4 models are now enabled by default via the Gemini
+  API, providing improved performance and capabilities out of the box.
+- **Voice Mode Polish:** Added wave animations for visual feedback and
+  privacy/compliance UX warnings specifically for the Gemini Live backend.
+- **Session Management:** Added a `--delete` flag to the `/exit` command for
+  instant session deletion and introduced `/bug-memory` for easier heap
+  diagnostics.
+- **Improved Reliability:** Reduced default API timeouts to 60s and implemented
+  retries for undici and premature stream closure errors.
