Config Hot-Reload and Resource Inheritance Control

This release removes friction from MCP iteration and gives custom agent authors tighter control over context. Agent and MCP configs now reconcile live when you save a change, without restarting the session or losing conversation history. A new setting also lets custom agents opt out of inheriting default resources.

Agent and MCP configurations now hot-reload when you save changes on disk. Edit an agent config, add a new agent file, or modify mcp.json and the changes take effect without restarting the session. Only affected servers restart, and your conversation context is preserved. The config diff is order-independent, so reordering environment variables won't trigger unnecessary restarts. Learn more ->

The new chat.disableInheritingDefaultResources setting stops custom agents from inheriting default steering, skills, and AGENTS.md. Set it to true when you run only custom agents and don't want global resources pulled in. Since v2.7.0, custom agents inherit default resources automatically. This setting gives you a way to turn that off. Learn more ->
