v5.6.1

Gate runs — the checks pre-merge and merge do before shipping — now happen in a background subagent instead of your main conversation. Your conversation stays lean and you still see live progress, but you're only pulled in for the decisions that are actually yours to make.

📈 Improved

• Gate runs in pre-merge and merge execute in a dedicated subagent, keeping your main conversation short while still streaming live progress — what you see and every approval you're asked for work exactly as before.
• merge now splits its work so mechanical steps run in the background while every human decision — approvals, sign-offs — stays in your main conversation, so you're only interrupted when a call is genuinely yours.
• Progress from nested work is folded into one coherent stream of updates instead of surfacing as separate, overlapping status reports.

🐛 Fixed

• A gate run's verdict is now always written to disk, so its outcome can never go missing after the run finishes.
