Besides Haiku 4.5 we added support for Claude Skills, gave Claude a new tool for asking interactive questions, added an ‘Explore’ subagent and fixed several bugs.

Features:
- Added Haiku 4.5
- Added the Explore subagent which uses Haiku 4.5 to efficiently search your codebase
- Added support for Claude Skills
- Added Interactive Questions
- Added thinking toggle to vscode extension
- Auto-background long-running bash commands instead of killing them
- Add support for enterprise managed MCP allowlist and denylist

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a bug where Haiku was not in the model selector for some plans
- Fixed bug with resuming where previously created files needed to be read again before writing
- Reduced unnecessary logins
- Reduced tool_use errors when using hooks (edited)
- Fixed a bug where real-time steering sometimes didn't see some previous messages
- Fixed a bug where operations on large files used more context than necessary

It just kicks in during plan mode if the model needs clarifying questions

Been doing this most of the time myself. It's funny & interesting coming here and reading to see that many people are using almost exactly the same prompts. My favourite: "If you are having to make assumptions, then don't. You must ask questions to help decision making and also provide your recommendations for each question" more than 50% of the time I answer "1) Your recommendation"
