v1.8.2

This week's release includes the ability to create a new worktree right from the sidebar's new-thread button, a new `agent.terminal_init_command` setting to automatically run a command when opening a new agent terminal thread, a `workspace: reset pane sizes` command to reset all panes to equal sizes, and new `editor: select inside delimiters` / `editor: select around delimiters` actions for expanding a selection through nested brackets and quotes.
