  • Added Claude Sonnet 5.5 (claude-sonnet-5-5) with 1M context and specific pricing.
  • Enhanced gateway spend limits in /usage and added certificate client authentication for identity providers.
  • Fixed numerous bugs including damaged response streams, session crashes from malformed images, and Bash tool failures on Windows.
