What's new in 2.1.212

Workflow is significantly improved, with /fork now creating independent background sessions and /subtask handling in-session delegation. Users gain more control through auto-mode reset and new guardrails limiting runaway WebSearch tool calls and subagent spawns. Key security fixes prevent plan mode from auto-executing file-modifying commands and resolve worktree creation vulnerabilities. These updates enhance reliability and provide a more stable experience, including improved web search and a /resume picker for all past sessions.
