Reasonix v1.24.2 is now the stable CLI and desktop release line
GitHub published CLI `v1.24.2` at 2026-08-12T16:25:57Z, Desktop `desktop-v1.24.2` at 2026-08-12T16:30:54Z, and npm now points `latest`, `next`, `canary`, and `latest-staging` to 1.24.2. This stable line collapses recovery lineage into one logical session after upgrades, prevents sidebar freezes while the session catalog projects metadata, stabilizes chat scrolling when async Markdown and code blocks resize, and keeps the hardened Windows startup path that hides console flashes.

The v1.19.0 stable line added a DeepSeek Anthropic-compatible endpoint preset, a new Responses API provider path with stateless DeepSeek support, faster cached model polling, session and permission hardening, and the public `low` reasoning setting for `deepseek-v4-flash`.

Reasonix main-v2 adds DeepSeek reply recovery and post-v1.18 hardening
Official `main-v2` merges on July 31, 2026 added one bounded continuation when official DeepSeek replies stop at `finish_reason=length`, exposed `low` reasoning effort for `deepseek-v4-flash`, reworked the Desktop terminal into an independent bottom drawer with resize and accordion behavior, and hardened post-v1.18 session, permission, routing, and Desktop regressions. These are merged source updates after stable `v1.18.0`, not a newer stable release.

Reasonix main-v2 now keeps pasted text and file-ref cards intact across Desktop session switches
Merged PR #7064 fixes Desktop history replay so pasted-text blocks and file-reference inline cards stay compact after switching sessions or restarting the app, while the full user-authored input still remains available for capability routing, memory recall, planning, edit replay, and older Desktop clients. This is merged source on `main-v2` after the stable v1.18.0 tags, not a newer stable release.

Reasonix main-v2 fixes true-colour detection and smooths `/theme` switches
Merged PR #7053 fixes 24-bit colour detection in Windows Terminal, kitty, Alacritty, Ghostty, foot, Rio, st, and Contour, while correctly downgrading tmux and screen. It also routes mode indicators through the active theme so `NO_COLOR` works consistently, makes terminal-background probing opt-in, and adds an approximately 290 ms left-to-right palette transition for `/theme`. This is merged source on `main-v2` after the v1.18.0 tag, not a newer stable release.

Reasonix main-v2 now documents Context Engine v2 and richer `/memory` diagnostics
The official `main-v2` sources on July 28, 2026 document Context Engine v2 as a split between standing instructions and background memory, plus new `/memory recall`, `/memory instructions`, revision-restore, and archive-recovery flows. At that July 28 check, the docs moved ahead of npm stable; the next day, the same capability set landed in stable v1.18.0.

Reasonix now runs compatible Claude Code plugins inside normal sessions
Reasonix now reads `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` directly and maps compatible Claude Code plugin skills, slash commands, agents, hooks, MCP servers, and root `CLAUDE.md` context into its existing CLI and Desktop sessions. Before writing files, `reasonix plugin install <source> --dry-run` reports whether each declared capability is fully, partially, or not compatible; a July 20 follow-up also repaired MCP tool bindings used by imported plugin skills.

GitHub commits a148c43, d6d18e1, and a4037eb on June 16 document `credentials_store = "auto"` as the default path, clarify that OS keyrings are preferred before the file fallback, and keep provider-key saves successful even when an existing environment variable would override the stored key after restart.
