 ## Highlights
 
-- **Surgical Code Edits:** Steer models to use the `edit` tool for precise code
-  modifications, improving accuracy and reducing context usage.
-- **Session Portability:** Added ability to export chat sessions to files and
-  import them via a new CLI flag, enabling session persistence and sharing.
-- **Enhanced Security:** Introduced comprehensive shell command safety
-  evaluations and strengthened model steering to prevent unauthorized changes.
-- **Context Management:** Implemented a new adaptive token calculator for more
-  accurate content size estimations and optimized context pipelines.
-- **UX Improvements:** Enhanced tool call visibility with prefixed IDs and
-  improved the UI for session resumption and MCP list management.
+- **Simplified Modes:** Merged existing Auto modes into a single, unified Auto
+  mode for a more streamlined user experience.
+- **Enhanced Agent Registration:** Improved agent registration logic to
+  prioritize project-specific agents using a first-wins strategy.
+- **New Developer Skills:** Introduced `agent-tui` and `tui-tester` skills to
+  empower developers with better terminal UI testing and automation
+  capabilities.
+- **Expanded Editor Support:** Added support for Sublime Text and Emacs Client,
+  providing more flexibility for external editing tasks.
+- **Session Management:** Added new session invocation types
+  (`LocalSessionInvocation`, `RemoteSessionInvocation`) and improved context
+  recovery across sessions.
