Next release patch notes:

* Fixed bug where Claude got bored during compile times and started editing Wikipedia articles to claim that birds aren't real

* Blocked news.ycombinator.com in the Docker image's hosts file to avoid spurious flamewar posts (Note: The site is still recovering from the last insident)

* Addressed issue of Claude procrastinating on debugging by creating elaborate ASCII art in Vim

* Patched tendency to rickroll users when asked to demonstrate web scraping"

Thank god it'll say "I use Claude btw", not leading to unnecessary text wars (and thereby loss of your valuable token credits).

* Finally managed to generate JSON output without embedding responses in ```json\n...\n``` for no reason.

* Managed to put error/info messages into a separate key instead of concatenating them with stringified JSON in the main body of the response.

* Taught Claude to treat numeric integer strings as integers to avoid embarrassment when the user asks it for a "two-digit random number between 1-50, like 11" and Claude replies with 111.
