## App

### New
- System prompt optimization: added an optional Behavior setting that reduces OpenCode's built-in system prompt by about 40% for the build and plan agents; it applies after restarting OpenCode and is unsuitable for custom build or plan definitions.

### Improvements
- Chat: slash-command starters now include text already entered in the draft as command arguments.
- Session goals: goals started from slash commands, including scheduled tasks, now use the command's expanded instructions.
- Usage: OpenAI business-account Codex usage now shows the configured spend limit (thanks to @jrandiny).
- Desktop/Linux: AppImage tray menus now include Show, Hide, and Close, and "Open in" shows system application icons (thanks to @makeittech).
- Mobile: image previews load when connected through the private relay.

### Fixes
- **Chat tools:** Bash tool cards now show output before a command finishes, keep it in a fixed-height pane, and follow new lines until you scroll away. Long-running commands no longer remain at a 300-second duration, and their timers continue until they finish.
- OpenCode: chats now recover when OpenCode stops responding during a response, and managed OpenCode no longer restarts repeatedly during a temporary connectivity failure.
- Desktop: bundled OpenCode no longer offers a separate update; it updates with OpenChamber (thanks to @yulia-ivashko).
- Chat: fully loaded histories no longer show "Load older" again after a refresh.
- Chat: messages removed by reverting no longer reappear after you send another message.
- Settings: subpanels keep a visible vertical scrollbar and no longer show a horizontal scrollbar (thanks to @sergiofspedro).

## VS Code

### New
- **OpenCode updates:** the extension can now update a managed OpenCode installation and restart it automatically; externally managed servers are left unchanged (thanks to @yulia-ivashko).
