Zen now allows you to define `roles` for an external CLI and delegate work to another CLI via the new `clink` tool (short for `CLI + Link`). Gemini, for instance, offers 1000 free requests a day - this means you can save on tokens and your weekly limits within Claude Code by delegating work to another entirely capable CLI agent!
Define your own system prompts as `roles` and make another CLI do anything you'd like. Like the current tool you're connected to, the other CLI has complete access to your files and the current context. This also works incredibly well with Zen's `conversation continuity`.
feat: Azure OpenAI / Azure AI Foundry support. Models should be defined in conf/azure_models.json (or a custom path). See .env.example for environment variables or see readme. https://github.com/BeehiveInnovations/zen-mcp-server/issues/265
feat: OpenRouter / Custom Models / Azure can separately also use custom config paths now (see .env.example )
refactor: Model registry class made abstract, OpenRouter / Custom Provider / Azure OpenAI now subclass these
refactor: breaking change: `is_custom` property has been removed from model_capabilities.py (and thus custom_models.json) given each models are now read from separate configuration files
fix: model definition re-introduced into the schema but intelligently and only a summary is generated per tool. Required to ensure CLI calls and uses the correct model
fix: removed `model` param from some tools where this wasn't needed
fix: fixed adherence to `*_ALLOWED_MODELS` by advertising only the allowed models to the CLI
fix: removed duplicates across providers when passing canonical names back to the CLI; the first enabled provider wins
docs: document provider base class
refactor: cleanup custom provider, it should only deal with `is_custom` model configurations
fix: make sure openrouter provider does not load `is_custom` models
fix: listmodels tool cleanup
README improvements:
- Reduce README from 725 to 169 lines (77% reduction)

- Fix o3-pro response parsing to use output_text convenience field
- Replace respx with custom httpx transport solution for better reliability
- Implement comprehensive PII sanitization to prevent secret exposure
- Add HTTP request/response recording with cassette format for testing
- Sanitize all existing cassettes to remove exposed API keys
- Update documentation to reflect new HTTP transport recorder
- Add test suite for PII sanitization and HTTP recording
This change:
1. Fixes timeout issues with o3-pro API calls (was 2+ minutes, now ~15-22 seconds)
2. Properly captures response content without httpx.ResponseNotRead exceptions
3. Preserves original HTTP response format including gzip compression
4. Prevents future secret exposure with automatic PII sanitization
5. Enables reliable replay testing for o3-pro interactions
