 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [14.5.13] - 2026-05-01
+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+- Removed the built-in `python` tool in favor of `eval`, so tool allowlists and tool-call handlers referencing `python` need to migrate
+- Removed the `python.toolMode` setting and replaced mode control with separate `eval.py` and `eval.js` toggles
+- Changed the tool runtime config surface by migrating `python` execution timeout/export behavior to `eval` and replacing `./ipy/*` internal exports with `./eval/*` paths
+- Changed the `eval` tool wire format to a single `input` string composed of markdown fenced code blocks (with per-fence language, timeout, title, and reset metadata in the info string) instead of top-level `cells`, `language`, `timeout`, and `reset` fields
+
+### Added
+
+- Added a JavaScript backend to the `eval` tool with an in-process VM runtime and JS helper bridge (`read`, `write`, `glob`, etc.)
+- Added `eval.py` and `eval.js` settings so Python and JavaScript `eval` backends can be enabled or disabled independently
+- Added `rename_file` action to the Lsp tool to rename files and directories with LSP `workspace/willRenameFiles` and `workspace/didRenameFiles` flow, applying returned workspace edits before moving files
+- Added `apply: false` preview mode for `rename_file` so users can see planned LSP edits without performing filesystem changes
+- Added `request` action to invoke arbitrary LSP methods, with automatic `textDocument`/`position` parameter construction from `file`/`line`/`symbol` and support for explicit JSON `payload`
+- Added `capabilities` action to display language server capabilities (for a file or all configured servers) through the LSP tool
+
+### Changed
+
+- Changed AGENTS.md discovery to respect `.gitignore` files during project context collection so ignored context files are no longer loaded
+- Changed eval tool initialization to skip Python kernel preflight when the JavaScript backend is enabled, avoiding unnecessary startup checks
+- Changed model registry refresh flow to defer rebuilding the canonical model index until refresh operations complete, reducing refresh churn
+- Changed execution/tool discovery flow so `exec` maps to `eval` when any `eval` backend is enabled, while `bash` stays independently available
+- Changed `eval` dispatch to automatically fall back to JavaScript when Python is unavailable and JavaScript backend is enabled
+- Parallelized plugin root preloading with other startup initialization in `runRootCommand` to reduce startup latency
+- Parallelized session bootstrap work in `createAgentSession`, including AGENTS.md scanning, context discovery, prompt template loading, slash command loading, and skill discovery, to reduce time to first available session
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed eval startup messaging to report `eval` as unavailable when Python is unreachable and JavaScript backend is disabled
+
+## [14.5.12] - 2026-04-30
+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+- Removed the legacy browser action verbs (`goto`, `observe`, `click`, `type`, `fill`, `press`, `scroll`, `drag`, `wait_for_selector`, `extract_readable`, and `screenshot`) in favor of invoking those workflows through `run`
+
+### Added
+
+- Added a `browser` tool `open`/`run`/`close` flow with a `run` action that executes async JavaScript and provides `page`, `browser`, `tab`, `display`, `assert`, and `wait` in scope
+- Added named tabs on `open` with default name `main` so browser state can be reused across `run` calls and subagents
+- Added support for `app.path` and `app.cdp_url` on `open` to launch/connect to CDP-capable desktop apps
+
+### Changed
+
+- Changed browser tool output rendering to display `run` calls as JavaScript code cells with status and output previews while showing `open`/`close` as compact status lines
+- Changed `open` to open or reuse named tabs and `close` to support `all: true` and `kill`-based process termination behavior
+- Changed app attachment behavior to reuse an existing CDP endpoint when available and avoid unnecessary respawn of matching app processes
+- Changed tab closing so closing a tab no longer implicitly affects unnamed sessions when multiple tabs are used
+- Changed browser export rendering to label outputs under the `browser` tool and include app metadata badges
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed Electron/CDP attachment target selection to skip helper windows and pick the most likely user-visible page target
+- Fixed connection startup by waiting for the CDP endpoint and surfacing a timeout error when it does not become available
+- Fixed plan mode to auto-redirect `write` and `edit` calls targeting a bare `PLAN.md` (or any same-basename cwd-relative path) to the canonical `local://PLAN.md` plan artifact instead of rejecting them
+
