v1.149.0

This release adds GitHub repository skill loading, evaluator routing through the models gateway, and several model pricing and capability fixes, along with TUI stability improvements and expanded debug tool hook support.

What's New

• Adds support for loading skills from public GitHub repositories via https://github.com/owner/repo URLs in skills: entries
• Runs tool_input_transform and post_tool_use hooks on debug tool calls, completing the full hook pipeline for docker agent debug tool
• Adds an evaluator judge backend, enabling a dedicated evaluator service as an alternative to the LLM-as-judge path
• Routes evaluators through the models gateway by default and adds OpenAI Decisions as a native evaluator backend
• Prices OpenAI fast, priority, and ultrafast service tiers based on the tier actually served in the response rather than the requested tier
• Adds a Nativ provider guide covering setup, authentication, and API support for the local Apple Silicon inference server

Bug Fixes

• Fixes ChatGPT models incorrectly treated as text-only by inferring image input capability from the matching OpenAI catalogue entry when no direct ChatGPT entry exists
• Fixes provider IDs (fireworks-ai, togetherai, moonshotai, opencode) to align with canonical models.dev catalogue IDs, preserving legacy IDs as aliases
• Fixes custom and gateway provider filters being dropped when resolving model providers
• Fixes fast/priority and ultrafast service-tier cost multipliers falling back to standard rates when base_url is explicitly set to the official OpenAI endpoint
• Fixes redundant full re-renders triggered by token usage events when the sidebar is hidden in the TUI
• Fixes the lean TUI working indicator to remain above the input with a permanent separator, replacing inline spinners with static markers to avoid redraws on every tick

Technical Changes

• Separates loader defaults from runtime registration so building loader options no longer mutates process-wide runtime state as a side effect
• Centralizes loaded runtime configuration assembly and narrows the chatserver runtime contract
• Runs tool_response_transform hooks on debug tool output (previously missing from the debug tool path)
• Updates documentation for the defuse loop termination argument to reflect the correct invariant
• Stabilizes the debug-tool test on Windows by removing a flaky native shell dependency from the affected test case
