What

Fixes two pre-existing factual errors in the "Named Commands" section of docs/configuration/agents/index.md:

  1. Command argument syntax — replaces the non-working $1 / $2 placeholders with the actually-supported forms: ${args[0]}, ${args.join(" ")}, ${tool_name({...})}, and the legacy !tool_name(key=value) form. Adds a concise "Argument and expansion syntax" explanation.
  2. Agent-switching target scope — corrects the false claim that a command's target agent must be listed in the current agent's sub_agents; the target can be any agent defined in the team.

Notes

Docs-only. Verified against pkg/runtime/commands.go, pkg/runtime/agent_router.go, pkg/team/team.go, agent-schema.json, and the runtime/js tests. Passes canonical check + markdownlint.

Note

This PR (#3684) and #3683 both touch docs/configuration/agents/index.md. Whichever merges second will need a trivial rebase.

…Commands

The Named Commands section used the shell-style $1/$2 positional
syntax for command argument substitution, but the resolver
(pkg/runtime/commands.go) only recognises JS template expressions
(${args[0]}, ${args.join(" ")}, ${tool_name({...})}) and the legacy
!tool_name(key=value) call form. $1/$2 are silently left as literal
text in the rendered instruction.

The section also claimed a command's target agent must be listed in
the current agent's sub_agents array. agentRouter.SetValidated resolves
the target through team.Agent(name), which scans every agent in the
team (pkg/team/team.go), not just the current agent's sub_agents; the
schema's CommandConfig.agent doc confirms this ('must be defined in the
team configuration'). Correct the docs to match.
Named Commands only showed ${args.join(" ")} in examples without
explaining the other supported forms. Add a concise list covering
positional args, joined args, template tool-call expansion, and the
legacy !tool_name() form, verified against pkg/runtime/commands.go
and pkg/js/eval_test.go.

Created with `brew bump-formula-pr`.<details>
  <summary>release notes</summary>
  <pre>This release adds a new scheduler toolset, inline Mermaid diagram rendering, model switching in the lean TUI, project config autodiscovery, and a range of bug fixes and performance improvements across the agent, TUI, and server.

## What's New

- Adds a built-in `scheduler` toolset with `create_schedule`, `list_schedules`, and `cancel_schedule` tools, enabling agents to schedule instructions to run once at a time, after a delay, or on a recurring interval
- Adds prompt cache miss warnings via an opt-in `warn_on_cache_miss` user setting that emits notifications when cached input tokens are absent after the first session response
- Adds inline Mermaid diagram rendering in the TUI
- Adds model switching (`/model`) to the lean TUI and shares fuzzy model search between the lean and full TUIs
- Adds autodiscovery of `docker-agent.yaml`, `docker-agent.yml`, and `docker-agent.hcl` project config files for no-argument local `docker agent run`
- Surfaces background-job elicitation (user-input) requests in the TUI, ensuring each request opens exactly one dialog regardless of which runtime delivers it
- Makes a custom `base_url` on a model automatically imply `bypass_models_gateway: true`, removing the need to set it explicitly

## Improvements

- Improves session cost details in the TUI: aligns layout, color-codes cost percentages per message, groups averages together, and puts "Total" on its own line
- Speeds up model switcher credential discovery by deduplicating credential names and resolving lookups concurrently, reducing model-picker latency
- Parallelizes toolset startup and prefetches the MCP catalog off the load critical path, reducing agent startup time

## Bug Fixes

- Fixes glob wildcard matching in permissions so `*` and `?` span path separators (`/`) in argument values such as file paths and URLs
- Fixes a bug where setting `defer_all: true` on a toolset caused the toolset's custom `Instructions` to be permanently dropped from the agent's context
- Fixes `SafetyPolicy` not persisting across turns, causing users to be re-prompted for tool approvals they had already opted into
- Fixes background elicitations over the API so requests from concurrent background jobs are replayable and answerable instead of being auto-declined
- Fixes Anthropic cache breakpoints exceeding the hard limit of 4 when deferred tools are present, which caused API errors at runtime
- Fixes the TUI editor not regaining focus after external editing (`Ctrl+G`), which caused Enter to route to the transcript instead of sending the composed message
- Fixes the scheduler schema so `type: scheduler` is accepted in agent config files (was previously rejected by JSON schema validation)
- Fixes foreground elicitations being delivered twice into the app event stream
- Fixes a mutex unlock in the scheduler's `setRuntime` method to use `defer` for safer lock release
- Fixes VCR cassette path normalization for portable prompt-file matching
- Fixes CI workflow YAML indentation that caused all CI runs to fail before any job could start

## Technical Changes

- Adds `MapSlice` fan-out helper in the concurrent utilities package and uses it for parallel toolset operations
- Serializes interactive OAuth flows across toolsets to prevent concurrent conflicts
- Brings the documentation portal to WCAG 2.1 AA conformance across light and dark themes and adds a pa11y-ci CI gate to maintain it
- Adds new documentation pages for the scheduler toolset, sandbox templates, custom commands, user settings, context and compaction guide, and fixes stale command syntax in the Named Commands docs
