## About this release

Measured at commit `5b147ab036d`, the window since v0.22.2 contains **2,911 non-merge commits** across **4,206 changed files** (+360,278 / −64,308), about **620 merged PRs** and **326 closed issues**.

Also in the window, undocumented here on purpose: MCP progress notifications streamed as live tool progress, a refreshed classic CLI layout (glyph transcript, status line under the composer, two-line header), OAuth clients that plugins declare and Hermes signs in and refreshes, `hermes plugins update` offering every available plugin update plus an Update button for git-installed plugins in Desktop, steering and editing a queued prompt from Desktop, a guided subagent model and provider picker in Desktop, a live `/loop` countdown row in the CLI and TUI, opt-in Telegram DM topic transfer, a `post_compaction` plugin hook, a capabilities catalog, the Microsoft Store build going live automatically when a release publishes, session auto-prune back to opt-in with a one-time prompt when disk runs low, Nemotron 3.5 Bolt and one-slot DFlash drafts in the local runtime, and dozens of new plugin catalog entries.

**Full curated release notes for this window ship with v0.23.0**, which will document everything from v0.22.0 onward — highlights, feature areas, and complete contributor credits. Nothing in this window is skipped.
