【Relative to on-site】

• Versus on-site e/665 = v0.24.4, notable deltas: fix(core, docs) correct what the deferred-tool bridge made stale or untested (#12355)
• perf(core) move the Agent tool's prompt-writing guidance into a bundled skill (#12323)

【Our take】

• Preview-channel tooling/docs/perf increment with verifiable GitHub timestamps.
• Agent-tool path is relevant to coding-agent reliabilitySame register as peer Chinese/Western coding-agent CLI point releases; do not inflate because it is Alibaba/Qwen.
