Release Zoo Code v3.96.0 · Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code

[3.96.0]

✨ New chat settings and diagnostics: Show message timestamps with configurable time and date formats, tune the prompt-cache TTL for Anthropic profiles, and generate privacy-safe diagnostics reports.
💸 More accurate provider costs and caching: Keep Anthropic tool results intact, adopt cumulative output tokens in Anthropic and MiniMax costs, read DeepSeek prompt-cache counters, target the xAI Responses cache, and bill Mistral cache reads at 0.1x.
🧭 More reliable and faster chats: Resume completed tasks after a restart, restore checkpoints when the saved commit is missing, auto-reload a dead webview renderer, throttle streaming updates, and load locales on demand.
