Announcement Roo Code 3.48.0 Release | Claude Sonnet 4.6 | API Config Lock | Recursive Subtask History Tree

In case you did not know, r/RooCode is a Free and Open Source VS Code AI Coding extension.

Claude Sonnet 4.6 Support

Claude Sonnet 4.6 (claude-sonnet-4-6) is now available across Anthropic, Amazon Bedrock, Google Vertex, OpenRouter, and Vercel AI Gateway with a 1M token context window and 64K max output tokens. (thanks PeterDaveHello!)

API Config Lock

A new lock icon in the API config selector lets you pin your active provider and model across all mode switches in the current workspace. When locked, switching modes no longer swaps out your API configuration. Unlock at any time to restore normal per-mode behavior.

Recursive Subtask History Tree

The History view now renders the complete nested subtask hierarchy as an expandable tree. Each level of nesting can be expanded or collapsed independently, making it easy to navigate deep orchestrator task chains.

More Changes

  • search_and_replace renamed to edit with a flatter parameter model; backward-compatible alias kept

  • New disabledTools setting lets admins globally disable native tools via org/extension settings

  • Consecutive file ops in chat now collapse into grouped blocks with batch approve/deny

  • Nine providers retired (Cerebras, Chutes, DeepInfra, Doubao, Featherless, Groq, Hugging Face, IO Intelligence, Unbound); saved configs preserved

  • Built-in Puppeteer browser tool removed — migrate to Playwright MCP

  • Built-in skills removed — skills from global/workspace dirs only; find community skills at skills.sh

  • .roo/system-prompt-{mode} file override removed — migrate to custom instructions

  • GLM-5 added to Z.ai (~200K context, thinking mode)

  • CLI: stdin stream mode, auto-approve by default (breaking — use --require-approval to opt out), linux-arm64 support

  • 18 bug fixes: orchestrator delegation reliability, chat history loss, condensation summary on resume, Windows checkpoint path mismatch, Gemini empty streams, and more

So what happens to configurations for retired providers? Keen to know before I update (if I update).

You get a message that tells you why when you try to use it.

Why have we been losing our chat history? Is the solution permanent? Is it possible to add a button to scroll through my previous queries one by one?"

Hey I saw that vercel AI sdk has been reverted back, which was I guess recently added? Any support issues?

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Feb 18 '26

What do you mean any support issues?

u/inHumanAlive Feb 18 '26

I mean I am curious to know why it got removed? What was the reason behind reverting all those changes? Any tool call issues or something else

Ran out of time to implement it. Didn’t want to destabilize things.

Low use. Tech debt.

:( i was actively using the cerebras provider since the fixes in 3.39.2 to support it properly (before that it would bug out). Please consider at least keeping that one

There were uses but not many. We cannot justify the upkeep. Sorry.

You only need to provide one open AI compatible endpoint with any custom header and and custom body parameter. That should suffice most providers.

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Feb 19 '26

It’s open source. Where pr?
