CodeWhale 0.8.56 አውርድ

Added
- Status picker localization. The status picker surface (7 MessageIds) is now localized across all supported locales (#2896, @gordonlu).
- Approval dialog localization. The approval dialog surface is now localized across 7 locales: English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Portuguese, Spanish, and French (#2891, @gordonlu).
- Volcengine provider in TUI dispatcher. The codewhale / codewhale-tui CLI dispatcher now allows the Volcengine provider, so users can launch directly into a Volcengine-backed session (#2923, @hongchen1993).
- Dispatcher API-key preference. When a provider-specific API key is supplied via the CLI dispatcher, it is now preferred over the saved root key, fixing a regression where saved keys masked explicit CLI keys (#2928, @hongchen1993).
- Qwen 3.6 Plus model support. Added complete Qwen 3.6 Plus model resolution with dedicated version-bump tests (#2930, @idling11).
- Oversized paste spill. Pastes larger than ~10 KB are now written to .codewhale/pastes/ instead of being truncated or dropped, preserving the full content for the session (#2920, @sximelon).
- Cross-session prompt cache. Added a disk-backed cross-session prompt base-section cache so post-mode-flip and post-restart turns reuse the byte-stable prefix without rebuilding it from scratch.
Fixed
- Background shell routing. Shell commands expected to take >5 seconds are now automatically guided to background tasks instead of blocking the agent loop, with the task panel syncing immediately on cancel (#2947, #2941, @cyq1017, @idling11).
- allow_shell error naming. Shell-tool refusal errors now explicitly name allow_shell = false as the reason and suggest /config allow_shell true as the escape hatch (#2905, @cyq1017).
- Prefix-cache stability across mode flips. allow_shell is now decoupled from the static system-prompt prefix, so mode changes (Plan ↔ Agent ↔ YOLO) no longer rebuild the byte-stable message[0] and invalidate the DeepSeek prefix cache (#2949, @LeoAlex0).
- visibility="internal" explained. The Runtime Policy Reference section of the system prompt now explains the visibility="internal" attribute so models stop narrating their current mode between steps (#2951, @LeoAlex0).
- Bocha web search response handling. Updated response parsing for the Bocha search backend after an upstream API change (#2946, @h3c-hexin).
- PDF read hang. Full-PDF reads now use extract_text_by_pages to avoid a hang on large or complex PDFs (#2898, @idling11).
- 9 critical bugs. Fixed bugs across tools, client, and commands: stale ContentBlockStop cleanup, missing #[test] attribute, trailing-space restoration on English ApprovalField labels, and several correctness/stability issues (#2880, @HUQIANTAO).
Changed
- CNB shim cleanup. Removed deprecated deepseek shim references from the CNB mirror path.
- Style. Applied cargo fmt to crates/tools/src/file.rs.
