What

Several unrelated fixes: exit-waiting in the terminal UI, a wrong character count in session notices, grader file handling, and eval plugin resolution.

Details
  • Waiting for the UI to exit now resolves (or rethrows the exit error) immediately if the app has already exited, instead of hanging on a promise created after teardown.
  • Session-notice truncation counts dropped characters against the normalized text, correcting a wrong "N characters dropped" figure.
  • Grader focus files now report "does not exist" and respect abort signals rather than throwing a not-a-regular-file error.
  • Eval ablation now treats a folder containing only a SKILL.md as a resolvable plugin.
  • The engine can end a turn with a budget_exhausted reason and report stop_reason: "tool_deferred".
  • Session registry records advertise a new peer feature set.
  • The mascot's block-glyph art was redrawn in all four poses.
  • Auto-mode outcome codes in the compact transcript are behind the CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_MODE_OUTCOME_CODES environment variable; everything else here is unconditional.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
