Improvement0.0.93

SDK v0.0.93

Plugin loading now happens in-process through a registry instead of subprocesses, eliminating runtime dependencies and enabling better plugin state tracking and error handling. Reasoning control now works across all providers, token estimation for images is improved, scheduled runs are fixed, and the model catalog expands to 6,862 models with updated provider defaults.

  • Plugins load in-process through one registry per process instead of a node/bun subprocess, so the compiled CLI and its hub no longer need a runtime on PATH, and plugins can use the Bun global under the Bun-built hub. CLINE_PLUGIN_MODE=sandbox keeps the subprocess sandbox. The registry wraps import, setup, hooks, tools and commands with timeouts and error capture, and tracks each plugin's state (loading/ready/degraded/failed/disabled) with its last error. A failing plugin no longer silently drops its tools: session.create accepts a plugins policy and returns pluginIssues, later failures reach affected sessions as status notices, the hub answers plugins.list/plugins.status/plugins.reload and broadcasts plugin.status_changed, and the daemon marks a plugin failed instead of shutting down when an uncaught error comes from it. Each session gets its own copy of every plugin module, so plugins that keep per-session state at module level keep working
  • Turning reasoning off now works on every provider, not just a fixed list. Models whose catalog entry has no off option are sent nothing and keep their default, and models without a reasoning capability are skipped. Gemini and Vertex send exact thinkingBudget values only to models that advertise a budget; level-only Gemini models get a thinking level instead (they rejected thinkingBudget). A request never carries both the portable reasoning option and a native provider control (effort, thinking, thinkingConfig, …); the native one wins
  • The cline provider's default model is the first entry of the Cline recommended-models list, falling back to anthropic/claude-sonnet-5.5. CLINE_DEFAULT_MODEL_ID moves from Claude Sonnet 5 to Claude Sonnet 5.5, and the openrouter provider default is now anthropic/claude-sonnet-5.5 too
  • estimateRequestInputTokens and createTokenEstimator no longer bill base64 image payloads at the text rate. A ~90 KB screenshot counted as ~30k tokens, so a few images triggered auto compaction long before the transcript was near budget. Each image now adds a flat ESTIMATED_TOKENS_PER_IMAGE (1600). New createImageAwareReplacer export in @cline/shared
  • Auto compaction uses the resolved model's context window. When the discovered catalog entry had no limit but the selected-model override did, compaction was handed the bare catalog entry and ran against the wrong budget
  • Scheduled runs: queued runs are claimed correctly under bun:sqlite, which bound the store's named parameters as NULL so the desktop hub never claimed a queued run and it stayed pending with no error. Runs whose agent turn ends with a provider error (such as a retired model id) are now recorded as failed with the error message instead of succeeding silently, and the run report keeps usage and tool calls. Queued cron occurrences superseded by a newer occurrence of the same schedule are cancelled, so a backlog no longer replays every missed slot back to back
  • Rule files that are symlinks are now loaded from config directories instead of skipped. Edits to a link's target are picked up on the next refresh or new session
  • resolveSkillsConfigSearchPaths scans .claude/skills, so skills authored for Claude Code are visible to Cline
  • The editor tool advertises old_text as a plain string. When the schema allowed null, some models sent null instead of the replacement text. Null is still accepted at runtime and treated as omitted
  • Composio connectors: signed-in sessions register Composio's meta tools (search, manage connections, wait for connections, multi-execute), so the agent can find connector tools across toolkits, hand the user a Connect Link for an app that is not connected yet, and run what it found. Connector tools are discovered through meta search; saved desktop connection state no longer supplies model tools. Hosts can supply their own authentication through the new connectorsRequest option (ConnectorsRequest exported from @cline/core), which is also forwarded to scheduled sessions. resolveComposioToolsStatePath is renamed to resolveComposioConnectionStatePath
  • The Cline cloud sign-in helpers in @cline/core accept an AbortSignal, so hosts can cancel a pending sign-in while it is polling
  • Cloud session refreshes update open sessions with titles renamed on the web, and keep renames made locally while a refresh is in flight
  • Refreshed the model catalog (6,572 → 6,862 models). Adds the AI/ML API, LowRouter, and Prime Inference providers. models.dev no longer lists v0, so the v0 provider ships with only its default model, v0-1.5-md. OpenCode Go's base URL moves from https://opencode.ai/zen/go/v1 to https://opencode.ai/inference/go/v1. The Cline free list adds Step 5 Preview. Default models change for 302.AI, CrossModel, Cortecs, DigitalOcean, NEAR AI Cloud, and Ofox (Claude Haiku 5.5), DevPass (LLM Gateway), LLM Gateway, and Meta (Muse Wonder 1.0), Aixy (GPT-6.1 Sol), CloudFerro Sherlock and Moark (GLM 5.3), Ambient, NanoGPT, Neuralwatt, and Novita AI
