Standardize multi-action tools around tool_args.action while keeping parser compatibility for older tool/args, tool_name:action, and method-shaped requests. This keeps new prompts clean without breaking agents that learned the previous dialect.
Move A0 connector remote execution/file tools into stable standard prompts, make remote targeting independent of the active chat context, and skill-gate beta computer-use remote so it no longer weighs down the always-on tool list.
Align text editor, scheduler, skills, office artifact, memory, notify, and browser prompts/tools around the canonical action contract. Add scheduler update/timezone handling, skills_tool read_file, text editor patch coverage, and fixes for memory_forget, behaviour_adjustment, and code execution progress warnings.
Reduce default prompt pressure by compacting browser and scheduler prompts into skill-backed manifests, shortening skill catalog descriptions, and pruning noisy framework knowledge. Remove obsolete connector prompt stubs and root tool-call knowledge examples.

Introduces patch_text editing for the Docker-local text_editor, sharing request validation and freshness-state logic with text_editor_remote while preserving legacy line-number edits. Adds anchored context patching, safer state handling after context edits, updated model guidance, live remote wrapper reuse, and focused regression coverage for chained patches and Python replacement cases.
