Release 0.26.0

🚀 What's Changed

📋 Release Summary

This release introduces expanded AI model support for Featherless, NVIDIA NIM, Groq, and BytePlus, alongside enhanced multimodal capabilities including clipboard image pasting and optimized media previews (6cf59b3, 4dba526, 494df4d, 287baeb). The session experience is significantly improved through a refined skill persistence system during context compression, unified MCP tool management, and new real-time performance metrics for token usage and throughput (333248d, 3e4dded, 92efb57, 42abaa4). System stability is further bolstered by streamlined configuration validation, more robust skill lifecycle management, and several fixes to tool parameter handling and session naming (77fd2b3, f6464a3, 5d69774).
