+## [v1.20.6] - 2026-02-07
+
+This release introduces branching sessions, model fallbacks, and automated code quality scanning, along with performance improvements and enhanced file handling capabilities.
+
+## What's New
+
+- Adds branching sessions feature that allows editing previous messages to create new session branches without losing original conversation history
+- Adds automated nightly codebase scanner with multi-agent architecture for detecting code quality issues and creating GitHub issues
+- Adds model fallback system that automatically retries with alternative models when inference providers fail
+- Adds skill invocation via slash commands for enhanced workflow automation
+- Adds `--prompt-file` CLI flag for including file contents as system context
+- Adds debug title command for troubleshooting session title generation
+
+## Improvements
+
+- Improves @ attachment performance to prevent UI hanging in large or deeply nested directories
+- Switches to Anthropic Files API for file uploads instead of embedding content directly, dramatically reducing token usage
+- Enhances scanner resilience and adds persistent memory system for learning from previous runs
+
+## Bug Fixes
+
+- Fixes tool calls score rendering in evaluations
+- Fixes title generation for OpenAI and Gemini models
+- Fixes GitHub Actions directory creation issues
+
+## Technical Changes
+
+- Refactors to use cagent's built-in memory system and text format for sub-agent output
+- Enables additional golangci-lint linters and fixes code quality issues
+- Simplifies PR review workflow by adopting reusable workflow from cagent-action
+- Updates Model Context Protocol SDK and other dependencies
