Bump the workspace, every published crate, the npm CLI package and its
codewhaleBinaryVersion, the runtime SDK, and the VS Code extension to 0.9.6 —
the four version sources the release workflow cross-checks before it will
tag.
The changelog entry describes v0.9.6 as what it is: a subtractive release.
The guards that interrupted live work, the per-mode prompt doctrine, and the
deterministic second compaction system are gone; a truncated provider
response can no longer be recorded as a finished answer. Most of these were
found by running v0.9.5 against Terminal-Bench 2.1 beside Pi 0.8.41 on the
same model, effort, endpoint, and task digests, then reading the trials
Codewhale lost — so the entry names those trials rather than describing the
fixes in the abstract.
Mistral AI ships in this release; Xavier Pestel (@xavierpestel-ai) is
credited in the contributors section for #5295.
