#### What's new (v0.9.x)

- **Cross-squad orchestration** — squads can delegate work to other squads; one squad acts as an orchestrator and another as a sub-squad
- **Machine capability routing** — task routing based on model capabilities available in the session (e.g. vision, reasoning effort)

- **Distributed mesh** — link multiple squad instances across repos or machines into a coordinated mesh with `mesh.json` config
- **Cooperative rate limiting** — agents coordinate to avoid hitting API rate limits during parallel fan-out
- **Persistent Ralph** — Ralph (monitoring agent) now survives session restarts and accumulates observations across runs
