 All notable changes per release tag. Most recent on top, ordered by tag creation date (which matches the git history). Tag names follow `vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-slug` — the slug describes what shipped, so the tag name alone is enough to recall the batch.
 
+## v2.5.12-provider-lifecycle-phase4 — 2026-05-29
+
+Phase 4 of the v2.3 provider-lifecycle batch (`openspec/changes/v2-3-provider-lifecycle/design.md` §6): the HTTP API to read, patch, refresh, and diagnose providers. `routes/providers.ts` gains `GET /api/providers/config` (the raw loaded `CoderProvidersFile`), `PATCH /api/providers/config` (a partial providers map — an id's override object is replaced wholesale, a `null` value deletes it), an optional `{ providers?: string[] }` body on `POST /api/providers/refresh` (the `refreshed` count reflects the requested subset; the force probe itself still covers all installed providers, since per-provider force is a snapshot-internal change left to a later phase), and `GET /api/providers/:id/diagnostic` returning JSON `{ diagnostic: string }` — a read-only report (resolved def, install_path, last_probed_at, enabled, `which` availability, last cached probe error) with no probe spawn. PATCH correctness is the whole story: the order is validate→save→reload→clear, a malformed body or an invalid merged config returns 422 without writing the file, and a `save()` failure returns 500 without reloading the registry or clearing the snapshot cache, so on-disk and in-memory state can never diverge. New pure `mergeProviderConfigPatch` + `ProviderConfigPatchSchema` in `provider-config.ts`, a read-only `peekSnapshotEntry` cache accessor (source of the diagnostic's last-error — no probe/cache logic change), and a new `provider-diagnostic.ts` formatter. The web client gains `api.coder.getProvidersConfig` / `patchProvidersConfig` / `refreshProviders(providers?)` / `getProviderDiagnostic`, with mirrored `ProviderOverride` / `CoderProvidersFile` / `ProviderConfigPatch` types; the existing `/api/coder/*` proxy blanket-forwards the new routes with no change. +28 tests (134 coder total: pure merge/validate, the diagnostic formatter, and `app.inject` route tests proving the 422-no-write and save-fail-no-divergence guards). The diagnostic returns JSON rather than the §8 plaintext so it flows through the JSON `request` client helper (reconciling design §6.4's `{ diagnostic }` with §8's string report). No UI (Phase 5). Builds on `v2.5.6-provider-lifecycle-phase3`.
+
+## v2.5.11-claude-skill-discovery — 2026-05-29
+
+Surface Claude Code's real enabled commands + plugin skills in the coder slash menu, with icons separating commands from plugin skills. New `claude-command-discovery.ts` reads (user-global scope) `~/.claude/commands/*.md` plus every enabled plugin in `~/.claude/settings.json:enabledPlugins` — each plugin's user-scope install path contributes `skills/<name>/SKILL.md` (kind `skill`) and `commands/*.md` (kind `command`), parsed from frontmatter, bare names, deduped. The snapshot's claude branch discovers these **live** (claude is PTY, no ACP probe; the snapshot cache rate-limits the fs reads). The `/` menu now renders up to three icon'd groups: **`<agent> commands`** (Terminal), **`<agent> skills`** (Puzzle — claude's plugin skills / opencode is all commands), and **BooCoder skills** (Sparkles), via a new optional `icon` on `SlashCommandGroup`. `AgentCommand` gains a `kind` field, added identically to the coder and web copies (the `provider-types-parity` test enforces it); `mergeCommandsByName` is now generic so it preserves the tag. Invocation is unchanged — picking a claude command/skill sends `/name` to claude (PTY), which executes it. Project-local plugins + `<cwd>/.claude/commands` deferred. BooChat unaffected (flat skills). Smoke-test the claude skill slash-execution on the host.
+
+## v2.5.10-opencode-live-commands — 2026-05-29
+
+Surface opencode's real (live ACP) command set in the coder slash menu without needing a dispatch. Two fixes: (1) the cold ACP probe (`acp-probe.ts`) captured `available_commands` but read `probedCommands` synchronously right after `newSession` — racing opencode's async `available_commands_update` notification, so it captured **zero** and only the 7-item static manifest showed. The probe now waits briefly (poll up to 3s for the first batch + a 300ms settle, capped under the 30s probe timeout) so the commands are actually captured. (2) Captured commands are persisted to a new `available_agents.commands` JSONB column and served (merged with the manifest) on the tier-2-probe-skip path, so the agent's discovered commands survive once the model list is warm and show without a dispatch. Boot warms this via the `force: true` startup snapshot. apps/coder only (probe + schema + snapshot). Caveat: depends on opencode emitting `available_commands_update` on session creation rather than only after a prompt — to be confirmed on the host. Claude (PTY) disk/plugin discovery deferred.
+
+## v2.5.9-agent-slash-commands — 2026-05-29
+
+Segmented per-agent slash menu in the coder pane, plus cross-agent skills. The `/` menu now shows two labeled groups — **the active agent's commands first** (opencode/claude/qwen manifest + live ACP `available_commands`), **BooCoder skills second** — instead of always showing BooCoder's skills regardless of provider. `SlashCommandPicker` gains an opt-in `groups` prop (the flat `items` path is unchanged, so **BooChat's menu is byte-identical** — parity verified: no BooChat caller passes the grouped prop, and the skills lookup / invocation routing are untouched); `ChatInput` takes `slashGroups`; `CoderPane` builds the groups from the selected provider's commands + skills. Skills now **run under the selected agent**: the coder `skill_invoke` route accepts a `provider` and, when external, injects the server-side skill body into a dispatched task (instead of native inference) — so a skill like brainstorming executes through opencode/claude with the body kept server-side, mirroring the messages-route external dispatch. Also folds in the earlier initial-chat fix: invoking a skill on the landing chat now runs the same create-chat → assign-to-pane → invoke transition as a text send (`handleLandingSkill`) rather than invoking invisibly without a pane transition (the blank-screen repro). Web tsc + coder build clean.
+
+## v2.5.8-mobile-composer-row — 2026-05-29
+
+Mobile fix for the `AgentComposerBar`: the refresh button was wrapping to a second line. Root cause was layout order, not width — the status dot carried `ml-auto` (pinned to the far-right edge) and the refresh button followed it in DOM order, so it overflowed and wrapped. The dot + refresh are now one right-aligned (`ml-auto`) unit, keeping the refresh on the top line. Additionally, `CompactPicker` gained an `iconOnly` option and the Mode (permission) picker now renders icon-only on mobile (shield + chevron, no "Bypass"/"Plan" text label; `aria-label`/`title` and the tap-to-open list still convey the value) to free row width. Desktop is unchanged (full labels). Web-only change.
+
+## v2.5.7-claude-models-and-picker-fix — 2026-05-29
+
+Two provider-layer changes. **(1) Fix the empty provider picker** — a regression from `v2.5.5` (Phase 2): on a cache miss `getProviderSnapshot` returned synchronous `installed:false` `loading` entries, which `AgentComposerBar` filters out (`e.installed && e.status !== 'error'`); with the client-side poll deferred to Phase 5, a single fetch landed on `loading` forever and no providers appeared. `getProviderSnapshot` now awaits the build and returns terminal entries (the sync `loading` return is deferred until Phase 5 ships the poll); builds stay fast via the tier-2 cold-probe skip. **(2) Claude models** — the list was a hardcoded 2-entry static list (Opus 4 / Sonnet 4, May 2025), and the v2.3 config schema's `models`/`additionalModels` were parsed but never wired. `buildResolvedRegistry` now carries config `models` (replace) + `additionalModels` (merge) onto `ResolvedProviderDef`, and `provider-snapshot` applies them to every ready model list — so `/data/coder-providers.json` can add or replace any provider's models with no code change. Claude `staticModels` bumped to `opus`/`sonnet`/`haiku` latest-aliases plus pinned `claude-opus-4-8` / `claude-sonnet-4-6` / `claude-haiku-4-5-20251001` (passed verbatim to `claude --model`; the CLI accepts both aliases and pinned full names). +2 unit tests (109 total). Builds on `v2.5.6-provider-lifecycle-phase3`.
+
+## v2.5.6-provider-lifecycle-phase3 — 2026-05-29
+
+Phase 3 of the v2.3 provider-lifecycle batch (`openspec/changes/v2-3-provider-lifecycle/design.md` §5): generic ACP dispatch. `acp-spawn.ts` gains `resolveLaunchSpec(resolved, installPath)` — it consults the resolved registry's `launchCommand` (a config override or a custom-ACP entry's command) first, falling back to the kept `resolveAcpSpawnArgs` switch for built-ins. `acp-dispatch.ts` now spawns `spec.binary`/`spec.args` with `env: { ...process.env, ...spec.env }` instead of the hardcoded per-name argv, and `dispatcher.ts` loads the resolved def by `task.agent` and passes it through. This lets config-defined custom ACP providers dispatch with no new switch case. Built-in dispatch (claude/opencode/goose/qwen) is **byte-identical** to pre-v2.3 — proven by a regression test asserting opencode→`['acp']`, goose→`['acp']`, qwen→`['--acp']`, binary=`installPath ?? id`, and empty config env → plain `process.env`. One deliberate deviation from the spec's literal `!installPath → null`: the `installPath ?? id` fallback is preserved so a missing install path still spawns the bare agent name as before. `setSessionMode`/permission/streaming and the dispatcher poll/NOTIFY/running-guard are untouched. 7 new `acp-spawn.test.ts` cases. No routes/UI (Phase 4+). Builds on `v2.5.5-provider-lifecycle-phase2`.
+
+## v2.5.5-provider-lifecycle-phase2 — 2026-05-29
+
+Phase 2 of the v2.3 provider-lifecycle batch (`openspec/changes/v2-3-provider-lifecycle/design.md` §4). `provider-snapshot.ts` stops returning `null` for uninstalled/disabled providers — it now emits one entry per registered provider with a lifecycle status (`loading | ready | unavailable | error`), an `enabled` flag, and a two-tier probe. Tier-1 is a fast `which`-style availability check (`command-availability.ts`, `execFile`/no-shell); tier-2 — the 5–30s cold ACP probe — is now SKIPPED unless forced (`POST /refresh`), the `available_agents.last_probed_at` row is older than `PROVIDER_PROBE_TTL_MS` (24h default), or the DB model list is empty, which kills snapshot latency on warm reads. A cache miss returns `status:'loading'` synchronously while the build settles in the background (client polling is deferred to Phase 5). `ProviderSnapshotStatus`/`ProviderSnapshotEntry` regained `loading`/`unavailable` and gained `enabled`, `description?`, `fetchedAt?` in both the coder and web copies, guarded by a runtime parity test (`provider-types-parity.test.ts`, mirroring the `ws-frames.test.ts` convention) that fails on any field drift — a compile-time cross-project assignability check was attempted first but blocked by TS6307 (web is a composite tsconfig project). Also tracks the previously-gitignored `data/coder-providers.json` seed via a `.gitignore` exception, completing the Phase 1 config file. No dispatch/route/UI changes (Phase 3+); AgentComposerBar filtering unchanged. Builds on `v2.5.4-provider-lifecycle-phase1`.
+
 ## v2.5.4-provider-lifecycle-phase1 — 2026-05-29
 
 Phase 1 of the v2.3 provider-lifecycle batch (`openspec/changes/v2-3-provider-lifecycle/design.md` §2–3): a config-backed provider layer merged over the hardcoded built-ins, with no runtime change when no config file exists. Adds `CODER_PROVIDERS_PATH` (default `/data/coder-providers.json`); `provider-config.ts` (Zod `ProviderOverride`/`CoderProvidersFile` schemas + a loader that never throws at startup — a missing file, invalid JSON, or schema mismatch all fall back to built-ins-only — plus `save` for the Phase 4 PATCH route); and `provider-config-registry.ts` (`ResolvedProviderDef` + `buildResolvedRegistry` merge: built-in overrides, custom `extends:'acp'` entries requiring label+command, `boocode` always enabled, plus a module singleton). `agent-probe.ts` now iterates the resolved registry instead of the hardcoded list — custom ACP entries resolve their binary from `command[0]` via `execFile` (no shell), disabled providers skip probing without losing their row, and `enabled` is read from memory only (no DB column this phase). Six unit tests, including a regression proving an empty config yields exactly the built-ins. No snapshot/dispatch/route/UI changes (Phase 2+). The `data/coder-providers.json` seed exists on disk but is gitignored (`data/*`). Lands on top of `v2.5.3-remove-cursor-copilot`.
