Release v0.4.5

Release v0.4.5

This release continued our focus on increased stability, leading up to subagents. Numerous bugs were fixed and a few minor features added (mainly --set for evals and now --key/--keyfile override --profile-load). I suspect this will be an important release for anyone using local models, as well as anyone who uses smaller models or makes extensive use of AGENTS/LLXPRT.md.

Installation

Install or upgrade LLxprt Code using npm:

npm install -g @vybestack/llxprt-code

Or use directly with npx:

npx @vybestack/llxprt-code

What's New

• Added new --set flag to CLI for configuring settings
• Fixed auth precedence handling to correctly prioritize user/workspace configurations
• Improved streaming error handling and provider retry mechanisms
• Enhanced connection retry handling with clearer error code messaging
• Restored socket transport functionality for streaming
• Fixed theme settings prioritization to properly respect user/workspace preferences
• Included system prompt tokens in token usage limits calculation
• Restored shared memory and todo pause prompt functionality
• Fixed prompt environment metadata handling
• Resolved premature OAuth initialization during MCP operations
• Added missing super.setConfig call to GeminiProvider.setConfig method
