## Highlights

* Compiled extensions install end to end. A package may declare `capabilityServer.binaries`, and `yolop extensions install` fetches the prebuilt server for the host’s target triple, verifying its `.sha256` before writing anything. `yolop-extension-logfire` 0.2.0 is the first extension published with prebuilt servers.
* The Logfire exporter emits a real trace tree: spans nest by the host’s `parent_span_id`, carry the Gen-AI semantic conventions (`gen_ai.request.model`, token counts, tool names), and give thinking its own paired span.
* Model switching serves a curated, cross-provider list the user owns, administered by `yolop models list|add|rm|move|use|reset`, with “Browse all models…” still reaching the per-provider catalog.
* An opt-in `--compact-work` mode keeps each active turn on one mutable summary row, expandable with `Ctrl+O`.
* The global config and data directories are relocatable through `--config-dir` / `--data-dir` or `YOLOP_CONFIG_DIR` / `YOLOP_DATA_DIR`, so isolating a run no longer means moving `HOME`.
* Local inference gains `metal` and `cuda` backends and a default model that runs at small-model speed (Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct, Q4 GGUF), both gated in CI.
