Cline CLI 3.0.53

Original release notes
  • Fixed the CLI reconnecting to a stale Hub daemon after an upgrade. Hub daemons now carry a runtime build fingerprint, so an upgraded CLI retires and respawns a daemon still running older code instead of attaching to it (from SDK v0.0.73)
  • Fixed compaction being silently skipped on reasoning models. The summarizer no longer hardcodes a 1024-token output cap - it honors your max output tokens setting, defaults to 4096 (lowered when the model reports less), and logs a diagnostic when a summary comes back empty (from SDK v0.0.73)
  • Added Fable 5 (claude-fable-5) to the Vertex model catalog. Pricing is intentionally omitted because Vertex bills region-dependently, so cost shows as unknown rather than wrong (from SDK v0.0.73)
  • Custom Vertex model IDs are now passed through unchanged, routing Claude-style IDs to the Anthropic-on-Vertex path (from SDK v0.0.73)
