Qwen Code releases v0.24.5-preview.0: deferred-tool bridge fixes; Agent prompt guidance → bundled skill

Why it matters

【Official pre-release】

QwenLM/qwen-code published GitHub Release tag v0.24.5-preview.0 at 2026-09-22 17:47:13Z (2026-09-23 01:47:13 CST). GitHub marks it Pre-release (not Latest). Full changelog: https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code/compare/v0.24.4...v0.24.5-preview.0

【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); docs(plans) CI test time bound by module import (#10909); vscode-ide-companion NOTICES.txt regenerations (#12483, #12485).

【Our take】

Preview-channel tooling/docs/perf increment with verifiable GitHub timestamps. Agent-tool path is relevant to coding-agent reliability, but pre-release + patch scope stay below the home_week bar → home_latest only. Same register as peer Chinese/Western coding-agent CLI point releases; do not inflate because it is Alibaba/Qwen.
