Release v0.8.17

Snow CLI v0.8.17

What's New

• Session Command Control Plane: Added an allowlisted session/slash command runner accessible via CLI, agent tools, and SSE, with domain handlers for buddy, modes, and config matrix toggles. Includes hot-reload of config and plugins without restart, and same-process hot-sync of TUI state.
• Built-in snow-docs Skill: Added a progressive-disclosure docs skill with list/search/get tools, so agents can look up official Snow CLI usage docs instead of guessing from memory.
• Buddy Companion Customization: Added /buddy set for custom body color and freeform eyes, with companion updates.
• Tool Display Names & Icons: Added configurable toolDisplayNames, /tool-icons and /tool-names commands, and configurable status prefixes. Updated tool title icons to markers with enhanced status handling.
• UI Polish: Accent user message bubble, hook status icons, cleaner web search results (icons removed), and clean user bubble when onUserMessage hooks inject content. Hook command exit 1 is now treated as soft success in the status UI.
• Hot-Reload: Theme colors and user plugins now hot-reload without restart; agentic config and mode toggles hot-sync in TUI.
• LSP & Streaming: Enhanced error handling in SafeStreamMessageWriter with suppressed expected transport write errors. Improved thinking stream UX and turn teardown.
• Image Compression: Enhanced image context compression with session metadata and save functionality.
• Other Fixes: Hardened GradientText against undefined gradient colors, extracted shared usageHistory helpers for the TUI panel, polished notifications/exports/docs paths, and documented config.set and profiles control plane in setup guides.
