 - **Nous static models now use explicit `@nous:` prefix** — the four hardcoded "(via Nous)" models (`Claude Opus 4.6`, `Claude Sonnet 4.6`, `GPT-5.4 Mini`, `Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview`) now carry `@nous:` prefix IDs, matching the format of live-fetched Nous models. Previously they used slash-only IDs that relied on the portal provider guard; the explicit prefix routes them through the same bulletproof `@provider:model` branch and eliminates 404 errors on those entries. (`api/config.py`, `tests/test_nous_portal_routing.py`)
 
 ### Added
-- **Workspace path autocomplete in Spaces** — the "Add workspace path" field in
-  the Spaces panel now suggests trusted directories as you type, supports
-  keyboard navigation plus `Tab` completion, and keeps hidden directories out of
-  the list unless the current path segment starts with `.`. Suggestions are
-  limited to trusted roots (home, saved workspaces, and the boot default
-  workspace subtree) and never enumerate blocked system roots. (`api/routes.py`,
-  `api/workspace.py`, `static/panels.js`, `static/style.css`) (partial for #616)

 ### Fixed
-- **Message ordering after task cancellation** — cancelling a stream while the
-  agent is responding no longer causes subsequent responses to appear above the
-  "Task cancelled." marker. The cancel handler now fetches the authoritative
-  message list from the server (same as the done event), and the server persists
-  the cancel message to the session so both paths stay in sync. Falls back to
-  the previous local-push behaviour if the API call fails. (`api/streaming.py`,
-  `static/messages.js`) (@mittyok, #882)
