v0.1.47

v0.1.47

Highlights

• Smarter shell handling — Foreground yield-timeout tasks are now auto-backgrounded and managed via task lifecycle. Shell read-only decisions show user-facing explanations.
• Edit tool robustness — Search-not-found errors now include divergence diagnostics and whitespace-relaxed patch matching for better recovery.
• Plan mode improvements — Turn reminders and improved blocked messages keep the flow clear when collaboration modes are active.
• Error handling refinements — User interrupts are now clearly distinguished from provider timeouts; HTML-escaping of model-facing JSON has been fixed; proposed_plan XML tags are stripped from visible TUI output.
