Upgrade Cline CLI to v3.0.65 and pin the 19 new provider defaults
Cline CLI v3.0.65 compact-retries local llama.cpp/Ollama/LM Studio turns that hit leftover-context output caps, keeps partial answers and resume errors, persists hub history metadata, tightens -y yolo output, adds ai& (GLM 5.3 via AIAND_API_KEY), and swaps default models on 19 providers.Why this loop
cli-v3.0.65 changes both reliability and silent defaults. llama.cpp, Ollama, and LM Studio cap generation at leftover context, so long text-only replies used to cut off and fail the run; the CLI now compacts once, retries that turn, then falls back to concise-retry, keeping the partial answer if nothing helps. Hub start failures now include a reason, first-launch wait is 15s not 8s, resume restores prior errors without sending them to the model or counting them in compaction, a failed plugin no longer costs a sandbox spawn every prompt (retry after 30s), and Esc cancels empty-response retries immediately. Upgrade before the next long local session. Separately, 19 unpinned providers change defaults (eleven to Claude Opus 5.5, plus Step 5 Preview, MiMo V2.6 Flash, Ember-1, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, Aion 3.5, Space Bunny Free, GLiNER 2.5 Multi)—pin or you switch models on the next run. Use -y when you want shorter plans and tool-call-first edits. Hub titles/prompts now persist via cline history update. Optional: AIAND_API_KEY for ai& / GLM 5.3.
Proposed actions
- Upgrade Cline CLI to cli-v3.0.65 from https://github.com/cline/cline/releases/tag/cli-v3.0.65 before the next long llama.cpp, Ollama, or LM Studio session so a leftover-context output cap compact-retries that turn once, then concise-retries, and keeps the partial answer if both recoveries fail.
- Pin an explicit model on every unpinned Cline provider among Cortecs, CrossModel, DigitalOcean, Eden AI, GitHub Copilot, both LLM Gateway providers, Ofox, Requesty, Vertex, and Vivgrid (defaults now Claude Opus 5.5); both StepFun providers (Step 5 Preview); Above (MiMo V2.6 Flash); Fireworks (Ember-1); Kenari (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash); NanoGPT (Aion 3.5); OpenCode Go (Space Bunny Free); and Pioneer (GLiNER 2.5 Multi).
- Invoke Cline CLI with -y on routine implementation tasks so yolo mode applies tighter output rules: shorter plans, no preamble before routine tool calls, and code/edits written straight into tool calls instead of drafted in text first.
- On hub-managed sessions run
cline history update --title "<title>" --prompt "<prompt>"so title and prompt persist across launches without dropping pinned state; if a plugin fails to load, keep working without its slash commands and wait 30 seconds for the automatic reload instead of restarting the CLI. - Set AIAND_API_KEY and select Cline's new ai& OpenAI-compatible provider when you want Japanese open-weight models (default GLM 5.3). After a Windows install or update, allow the CLI's 15-second hub wait and use the new hub-start error text instead of treating "No compatible hub runtime is available" as the full failure.
