Quick little theme API adjustment

Hey! ICYMI we released support for themes a few hours ago. Before they get too widely adopted, we’re making one small breaking API change to the names of keys.:

insert_bg -> insert_code_bg
delete_bg -> delete_code_bg

This is what it looks like in code:

{
  // ...
  "diff_insert_fg": "#629657",
  "diff_insert_code_bg": "#2d3431",
  "diff_insert_gutter_bg": "#282d2c",
  "diff_delete_fg": "#a45c59",
  "diff_delete_code_bg": "#33272d",
  "diff_delete_gutter_bg": "#2a232a",
  // ...
}

See ya!

Hello, Plan Mode

This release introduces many improvements but, most importantly, and a solid new feature from one of our very talented contributors:

Let’s plan

At last, thanks to the very talented work of @vadiminshakov and @andrinoff, we present the long awaited Plan Mode.

Plan Mode is for…planning. Talk to the agent, answer questions, and put together a plan and then, when you’re ready, get to to work. You can activate plan mode with shift+tab.

Juicing more perf

@andreynering and @taciturnaxolotl marched forward in the quest for max perf in this release. Details below.

That's all for now. See you soon!

Cheers,
Charm xx 🌟

Lil’ OpenAI-Compatible Protocol Fix

This is a hot little mini patch to fix a regression in OpenAI-compatible endpoints that could occur when turns were stopped partway through. This regression happened because we were furiously making improvements for the DeepSeek V4.X Flash series that you all cannot seem to get enough of!

Thanks also to the very patient @teddytennant who fixed a small bug around turning home dirs into ~s.

xoxo,
Charm
