What's New

Newer tag is a protocol spec release (spec/v0.5.2), not an SDK patch, adding resource, terminal, and input features.

New Features

  • Resource request handling for both sending and receiving via the host.
  • Input request persistence in `responseParts` on `chat/inputCompleted`.
  • Client actions to request MCP server start or stop.
  • `ToolResultTerminalCompleteContent` for terminal-style completion metadata in tool results.
  • Optional `enabled` flags plus `disableUserInvocation`/`disableModelInvocation` on agent and skill customizations.

Improvements

  • `_meta` provider metadata hoisted to `CustomizationBase`, wire-compatible across all customization types.
  • Optional `serverInfo` on `InitializeResult` and `clientInfo` on `InitializeParams`.
  • Optional `terminalCommandPrefix` on `InitializeResult`.
  • New `changeset/filesReviewedChanged` action and optional `reviewed` field on `ChangesetFile`.

Upgrade Notes

This tag (spec/v0.5.2) is a protocol specification release on a separate version track from the SDK release v0.16.29, so it is not a direct SDK upgrade. The listed spec changes are additive and optional, so wire compatibility should hold; adopt new fields such as `enabled`, `_meta`, and `serverInfo` as needed. Consult the full spec diff, since the provided notes were truncated.
