Fixes: workspace not loading on fast navigation, agent messages lost when restoring a session, messages stuck in "Thinking" state, suggested prompts not working when clicked, archived workspaces reappearing, "Waiting for" banner showing up again after dismissal, terminal connections dropping, assistant replies overwritten by stale saves, modal and animation glitches.

This release includes new features, reliability improvements, and several bug fixes.

Added:
- Automatic background updates for installed plugin marketplaces and a prompt for workspace-recommended marketplaces.
- A fallback option to paste the authentication code during MCP OAuth flows, simplifying setup in remote SSH environments.

Improvements:
- Improved cloud agent execution by adding proper timeouts and graceful fail-safes for interactive tools in headless environments.
- Improved granular status reporting for the cloud agent during execution.
- Improved `auggie command list` output to consistently display help text.
- Optimized the plan mode sub-agent execution by eliminating redundant output operations.
- The chat transcript now remains visible when transitioning from plan mode to implementation.
- Updated the startup login screen message for new users.

Fixed:
- Fixed an issue where the cloud agent queue would not correctly pause when interrupted mid-execution.
- The terminal bell now correctly rings when the agent is waiting for user input.
- Fixed a bug where indexing could fail on extremely large repositories by falling back to a native Git approach.
- Fixed an issue preventing custom plugin commands from being properly invoked via `auggie command`.
- Fixed a visual bug where "Indexing complete" could incorrectly display multiple times at startup.
- Fixed an issue where CLI initialization could hang if connecting to an MCP server became stuck.

• Rich model metadata in the model picker — badges (Auto, Free), cost tier indicators ($, $$, $$$), and smarter sorting by priority.
• Terminal auto-recovery — frozen terminals now self-heal instead of requiring a manual page navigation.
• Prevents out-of-memory crashes when loading large agent conversations.
• Spec panel only opens when an agent is actively writing to it, instead of reopening on every workspace visit.
• Claude Opus 4.6 is now the default model for Auggie agents.
• Fixes: sent messages not appearing without a refresh, chat panel freezing during concurrent agent streaming, duplicate stream chunks from leaked IPC listeners, delayed user message display, thinking indicator not showing on follow-up messages, sidebar progress card flickering between PR and task status, agent list stuck in skeleton loading state after navigation, duplicate agent wake-up messages.

- Agent streaming is now resilient to workspace switching: responses are no longer lost if you navigate away and come back while an agent is mid-reply.
- Corporate proxy support: Intent now trusts custom CA certificates from your OS certificate store, fixing connection errors behind corporate proxies.
- UI Designer specialist upgraded to a higher-quality model for better output and accessibility adherence.

- Effort Levels: Configure agent effort/reasoning levels for chat requests
- Enter Plan Mode Tool: The agent can now enter plan mode mid-conversation when appropriate

Improvements:
