## 🔌 New Channels

### WeCom Smart Bot

Added the WeCom Smart Bot (`wecom_bot`) channel with streaming card output, support for receiving and replying to text and image messages, and full configuration through the Web Console.

Documentation: [WeCom Smart Bot](https://docs.cowagent.ai/en/channels/wecom-bot).

### QQ Channel

Added the QQ official bot (`qq`) channel with support for text and image messages in both private chats and group chats.

Documentation: [QQ Bot](https://docs.cowagent.ai/en/channels/qq).

## 🖥️ Web Console File Input and Processing

The Web Console chat UI now supports file and image uploads — files can be sent directly to the agent for processing. The Read tool gains parsing support for Office documents (Word, Excel, PPT).

## 🤖 New Models

- **GPT-5.4 Series**: Added `gpt-5.4`, `gpt-5.4-mini`, `gpt-5.4-nano` ([1623deb](https://github.com/zhayujie/CowAgent/commit/1623deb))
- **Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Preview**: Added `gemini-3.1-flash-lite-preview` ([ba915f2](https://github.com/zhayujie/CowAgent/commit/ba915f2))

## 💰 Coding Plan Support

Added integration with provider Coding Plan (monthly programming subscription) tiers via the unified OpenAI-compatible path. Supported providers include Aliyun, MiniMax, GLM, Kimi, and Volcengine.

See [Coding Plan docs](https://docs.cowagent.ai/en/models/coding-plan) for detailed configuration.

## 🧠 Memory System Upgrade

Memory flush improvements:

- Use the LLM to summarize out-of-window conversations into compact daily memory entries
- Summarization runs asynchronously on a background thread, never blocking replies
- Smarter batch trimming policy reduces flush frequency
- Daily scheduled flush as a safety net for low-activity scenarios
- Fixed context-memory loss issues

## 🔧 Tool Refactoring

- **Image Vision**: Image recognition (Vision) is refactored from a Skill into a built-in Tool with a dedicated Vision Provider configuration, improving stability and maintainability ([a50fafa](https://github.com/zhayujie/CowAgent/commit/a50fafa), [3b8b562](https://github.com/zhayujie/CowAgent/commit/3b8b562))
- **Web Fetch**: Web fetch is refactored from a Skill into a built-in Tool with support for downloading and parsing remote documents (PDF, Word, Excel, PPT) ([ccb9030](https://github.com/zhayujie/CowAgent/commit/ccb9030), [fa61744](https://github.com/zhayujie/CowAgent/commit/fa61744))

## 🐳 Docker Deployment Improvements

- **Config Template Alignment**: `docker-compose.yml` env vars aligned with `config-template.json`, covering full model API key and Agent settings
- **Web Console Port Mapping**: Added `9899` port mapping so the Web Console is reachable in browser after Docker deployment
- **Hot Config Reload**: Bot API key and API base are now read at request time — changes from the Web Console take effect without restart
- **Workspace Persistence**: Added a `./cow` volume mount so agent workspace data (memories, persona, skills, etc.) persists across container rebuilds and upgrades

## ⚡ Performance Improvements

- **Faster Startup**: The Feishu channel imports its dependencies lazily, avoiding a 4–10s startup delay ([924dc79](https://github.com/zhayujie/CowAgent/commit/924dc79))
- **Channel Stability**: Improved channel connection stability and added env-var support for channel configuration ([f1c04bc](https://github.com/zhayujie/CowAgent/commit/f1c04bc), [46d97fd](https://github.com/zhayujie/CowAgent/commit/46d97fd))
