 # @poncho-ai/cli
 
+## 0.18.0
+
+### Minor Changes
+
+- [`cd6ccd7`](https://github.com/cesr/poncho-ai/commit/cd6ccd7846e16fbaf17167617666796320ec29ce) Thanks [@cesr](https://github.com/cesr)! - Add MCP custom headers support, tool:generating streaming feedback, and cross-owner subagent recovery
+  - **MCP custom headers**: `poncho mcp add --header "Name: value"` and `headers` config field let servers like Arcade receive extra HTTP headers alongside bearer auth.
+  - **tool:generating event**: the harness now emits `tool:generating` events when the model begins writing tool-call arguments, so the web UI shows real-time "preparing <tool>" feedback instead of appearing stuck during large tool calls.
+  - **Subagent recovery**: `list`/`listSummaries` accept optional `ownerId` so stale-subagent recovery on server restart scans across all owners.
+
+### Patch Changes
