+# Roo Code 3.31.1 Release Notes (2025-11-12)
+
+This release highlights a refreshed button look across the UI, improves auto-approvals reliability, prevents cloud tasks from stalling, keeps model profiles in sync on switch, and adds an IPC command to post messages into the current task.

+
+## New Button Look
+
+A consistent, rounded Button component with clear variants and sizes now appears across the UI. The result is a cleaner, more modern interface with predictable interactions where buttons are used ([#9150](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/9150)).
+
+## Features
+
+* IPC command to send messages (text/images) to the current task for automations and richer context ([#9149](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/9149))
+
+## QOL Improvements
+
+* Move auto-approval logic from ChatView to Task for more reliable handling and clearer UI safeguards ([#9157](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/9157))
+
+## Bug Fixes
+
+* Prevent command_output asks from blocking in cloud/headless environments, so tasks no longer stall ([#9152](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/9152))
+* Ensure model switch re-applies the selected profile so task configuration stays in sync ([#9181](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/9181))

 ## QOL Improvements
 
 - **Less caffeinated welcome animation** ([#9104](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/9104)): Smooths the Roo hover animation so it is less distracting during long sessions while keeping the interface responsive.
+- **Auto-approval is now handled by Task** ([#9157](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/9157)): Centralizes approval logic for commands, tools, MCP, and subtasks, reducing blocked prompts and making safeguards clearer.
+- **Consistent rounded buttons across the UI** ([#9150](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/9150)): New Button component with variants/sizes delivers a cleaner, more predictable interface.
 
 ## Bug Fixes
 
 - **Respect custom OpenRouter-compatible URLs everywhere** ([#8951](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/8951)): Ensures all OpenRouter-related operations (model lists, pricing, image generation, CSP checks) consistently use your configured custom base URL for better privacy, compliance, and predictable billing (thanks sstraus!).
 - **Prevent crashes from null streaming chunks** ([#9105](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/9105)): Handles provider responses with null choices arrays correctly, improving stability for long-running generations across MiniMax M2 Stable and other OpenAI-compatible endpoints.
 - **Stop unwanted context condensing on settings save** ([#9108](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/9108)): Saving settings no longer triggers early context condensing when your provider/model is unchanged, so active tasks retain history until thresholds are truly reached.
+- **Cloud/headless: prevent command_output from blocking** ([#9152](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/9152)): Non‑blocking behavior avoids stalled tasks and intermittent timeouts.
+- **Model switch re‑applies selected profile** ([#9181](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/9181)): Ensures task configuration stays in sync when switching providers/models.
 
 ## Misc Improvements
 
-- **Roo Code Cloud error logging** ([#9098](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/9098)): Captures richer context for failed requests (status codes, response bodies, and request details), making it easier to understand and resolve provider and configuration issues.

+- **IPC: send messages to the current task** ([#9149](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/9149)): Programmatically post text and images into an active task for automations and richer context.
