 ### Added
 
-- 📶 **Far less work to stream a reply.** A reply now streams as small pieces of new text instead of resending the whole message so far with every update, cutting the data sent during a long answer by hundreds of times over, from more than a gigabyte to under two megabytes on a very long response, with a matching drop in the processor time spent passing those updates between instances on a shared setup, and a reply still in progress is now kept aside on the server, so reopening the conversation after a refresh picks it up where it is rather than showing a blank message. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/a1579a01ff43cacb357269707d36267ad35e01d6), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/c755ef60c6bd47ea25306bd898d9a6d1bd8e871d), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/d02b6a21fc02fb073782e25356968cfee3c45c36)
+- 🚦 **Human in the loop tool approval.** Where an administrator has turned it on, you can switch a conversation from letting tools run freely to being asked first, so a model that wants to use a tool stops and waits for you to allow or deny it, one call at a time in a saved conversation, with your choice remembered for future conversations and automations, channel replies, and temporary chats unaffected. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/7d99b2716a0472b2100b3a71825d8eb3fcbbe877), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/ec36972c2b5a8d48713f1a240b0ed305e535b4cc), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/653562d660398c32a9a193450bbbee300d7195c3), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/fa94a5ab2431edba064150651a14dd4992ef29e8), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/55c202e841e76cd69679206cd0ecb4a65b039ea4)
+- 📶 **Far less work to stream a reply.** A reply now streams as small pieces of new text instead of resending the whole message so far with every update, so the data sent over a reply now grows with its length rather than with its length squared, with a matching drop in the processor time spent passing those updates between instances on a shared setup, and a reply still in progress is now kept aside on the server, so reopening the conversation after a refresh picks it up where it is rather than showing a blank message, on deployments backed by Redis. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/a1579a01ff43cacb357269707d36267ad35e01d6), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/c755ef60c6bd47ea25306bd898d9a6d1bd8e871d), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/d02b6a21fc02fb073782e25356968cfee3c45c36)
 - 🔍 **Smarter chat search.** Searching your chats now finds conversations containing all of your words in any order rather than only the exact phrase you typed, with exact matches still listed first, and the preview snippet points at whichever word it found. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/0800c21c64c64810f24c2ec88cca5e36daebb10e)
 - ⌨️ **Model switching from the message box.** Typing "/model" now tells you which model you are on, switching to another by name with "/model" followed by its id, or opening the model picker straight from the slash menu without reaching for the mouse. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/29eeda9f9abeaedf77176908cb036ace7f175e76), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/9c7ce154e79a3baea3a8223ab1e5b1371ce80dbb)
 - 📎 **Sending while attachments upload.** Sending a message before its files have finished uploading now queues it and sends it automatically once they are ready, instead of refusing with an error, and each queued message shows the progress of its attachments. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/6c4d0ace163a89aba6e8cd2aa9fef185167ebe0f), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/c1c07cbe0f847e4dd04e21f2a6c5f12cdc0fc7ee), [#28381](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/28381), [#28380](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/28380)
 - 🪵 **Much faster throughout.** Hundreds of places across the application no longer assemble detailed log text that is switched off and thrown away unread, so sending messages, uploading and indexing files, running searches, signing in, and loading admin pages all get that time back, with the largest gains on busy servers, in long conversations, and on chats that draw from a large knowledge base. [#27834](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/27834), [#27837](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/27837)
 - ⚡ **Uninterrupted chat during knowledge search.** Responses now keep streaming for everyone on the server while knowledge base searches run, instead of pausing until each search finishes. [#27824](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/27824)
-- 🚀 **Faster model list lookups.** Title generation, tag suggestions, autocomplete, and other background steps of a chat turn now fetch the model list in one go, which keeps other people's responses flowing on busy instances with many models. [#27821](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/27821)
-- 🛰️ **Cheaper log export.** Deployments that export their logs to a telemetry collector now prepare each exported line once instead of twice, which matters more than it used to now that log text is only assembled when something will actually read it. [#27840](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/27840)
+- 🚀 **Faster model list lookups.** Title generation, tag suggestions, autocomplete, and other background steps of a chat turn now fetch the model list in one go, which keeps other people's responses flowing on busy Redis-backed instances with many models. [#27821](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/27821)
+- 🛰️ **Cheaper log export.** Deployments that export their logs to a telemetry collector, with "ENABLE_OTEL" and "ENABLE_OTEL_LOGS" both set, now prepare each exported line once instead of twice, which matters more than it used to now that log text is only assembled when something will actually read it. [#27840](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/27840)
 - 📇 **Faster permission checks on large instances.** Working out which groups you belong to is now a direct lookup rather than a scan of every membership on the server, so chats and the admin user list stay quick as an organization grows. [#27822](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/27822)
 - ⚙️ **Much faster JSON handling.** Saving and opening chats, reading settings, returning results from built-in tools, streaming replies, signing in and signing up, working out your permissions, and reading stored chunk details during knowledge base searches on Valkey and Oracle vector storage are all handled much faster across the application when the "ENABLE_ORJSON" option is turned on. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/bb0f898b431d5aa45efa7805956657ed9c3dd78d), [#28396](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/28396), [#27841](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/27841), [#27807](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/27807), [#27805](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/27805), [#27813](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/27813)
 - 📤 **Much faster outbound requests.** Conversations and embedding batches sent to Ollama and Anthropic models are packaged for delivery much faster, which is most noticeable in long chats when the "ENABLE_ORJSON" option is turned on. [#27811](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/27811), [#27810](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/27810)
 - 🐍 **Much faster code interpreter output.** Printed output and generated images from code run in chat appear much faster when the "ENABLE_ORJSON" option is turned on. [#27812](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/27812)
 - 📟 **Terminal availability and scope.** Administrators can now decide for each managed terminal whether it appears in chats and in automations at all, and whether everyone shares a single workspace or each chat or automation gets its own, with per chat terminals waiting until the conversation has been saved. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/009999f3636b1a3451f8fe55232e6ab132a64e66)
 - 🔒 **Read-only files in the terminal browser.** Files and folders you are not allowed to change are now labelled read-only, with uploading, editing, renaming, moving, and deleting turned off for them rather than failing at the moment you try. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/2dadc5435af77b0638af69200e3af1b9654417b6)
-- 🔐 **Terminals that use your own login.** Managed terminals configured for session authentication now connect using your own credentials instead of one shared key for everyone. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/2dadc5435af77b0638af69200e3af1b9654417b6)
+- 🔐 **Terminals that use your own login.** Managed terminals configured for session authentication now authenticate the terminal connection with your own token, where it previously sent no credentials at all. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/2dadc5435af77b0638af69200e3af1b9654417b6)
 - 🔗 **Attaching any link.** Pasting a link into a chat or a knowledge base now works out what is behind it, downloading a document or image as a real attachment rather than treating everything as a web page to be read as text. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/8fbfd14a8b3fe7236883594fd18760076e4de0d5)
-- 🧰 **Managing models on more servers.** Administrators can now download, load, unload, and remove models on llama.cpp and LM Studio connections from the manage models dialog and straight from the model picker's search box, alongside the Ollama support that was already there, and can refresh the model list without turning the cache off. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/85c3d0ae2fad58ffc2b92b1733a6c8bc7ab471db), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/8260d527ee97372a207ce9bd9c6dab4909061281), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/25802c048e6123fa602182949ad2a9f349e1e863), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/31c1ffd55a018a74c7e53a35fb9f9bbe33774b6f)
+- 🧰 **Managing models on more servers.** Administrators can now download, load, and unload models on llama.cpp and LM Studio connections from the manage models dialog, remove them on llama.cpp, and start a download straight from the model picker's search box, alongside the Ollama support that was already there. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/85c3d0ae2fad58ffc2b92b1733a6c8bc7ab471db), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/8260d527ee97372a207ce9bd9c6dab4909061281), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/25802c048e6123fa602182949ad2a9f349e1e863), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/31c1ffd55a018a74c7e53a35fb9f9bbe33774b6f)
 - 🙋 **Mentioning people in a channel.** Typing an at sign in a channel now lists that channel's own members first, before everyone else on the server, so the people you are likely to mean are at the top. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/ba885d0026ad3cce70c7cc36d1d6f59775264a12)
 - 🗂️ **Recognisable file icons.** The terminal file browser now marks each file with an icon for its type, so code, images, archives, documents, and configuration files can be told apart at a glance instead of sharing one generic page icon. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/60feca71a6a77b7d1eef1c172a61624d5fe48150), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/8d25ad00e2fc5f0a328a2098c2e73fb00f2ca934), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/c1f914a6268580f7722825390ac8a204743a4520)
-- 🌲 **Browsing files as a tree.** The terminal file browser now expands folders in place rather than only navigating into them, remembers what you had open, offers a right-click menu, can show hidden files, sorts by size, and expands a folder you hover over while dragging something onto it. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/7dfbdd221ac0f7a839dd049e3e82b6a84c316860), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/2e939874904e1ae54d02b8bc6d745931a8e1f673)

 - 🔬 **Zoom controls on previewed images.** An image opened in the file browser now has zoom in, zoom out, and a reset button showing the current zoom, and pinching to zoom responds more readily.

 - 📢 **Automations that post to a channel.** An automation can now be pointed at a channel instead of a chat, so its scheduled run appears as a message there for everyone to see, chosen from a new destination picker that also covers folders. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/2649e3305c49cb37101c112ae10ffd8beacb5885)
-- 🙋‍♂️ **Models that can ask you a question.** A new built-in tool lets a model pause and put up to three multiple-choice questions to you before continuing, with room to type your own answer instead, and the question survives a reload so you can come back and answer it later rather than losing the conversation.

 - 🪟 **Honest OAuth settings.** When single sign-on settings come from the environment rather than being saved in the application, the admin panel now shows them as read-only with a note naming the setting that controls this, instead of accepting edits that were silently discarded on the next restart. [#28276](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/28276)
 - 🔭 **OpenSERP in the search settings.** OpenSERP can now be picked as the web search engine in the admin panel, with a field for its address, rather than only being configurable through the environment. [#27594](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/27594), [#27592](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/27592)
 - 🎛️ **Settings for the task model.** Administrators can now set the generation parameters used for background work such as titles, tags, follow-ups, search queries, and conversation summaries, either from the admin panel or through "TASK_MODEL_PARAMS", instead of those requests always using a fixed token limit that could cut a summary short. [#27604](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/27604), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/f0bfcd40976dfb1e1876f86b39d6a659d894d15e), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/865c80c1600ecc2e606bef4e90540ce305b4b9de)
 - 📄 **Faithful Word document previews.** Word documents now open as proper pages with headers, footers, footnotes, and embedded images intact, and can be zoomed, rather than being flattened into plain formatted text. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/ff7467b4c593f1e775311c088c63340d0cc1e4a2), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/060648f939447e2a9de390d05221ca896c50eeed)
 - 📽️ **Truer PowerPoint previews.** Slide previews now render tables, charts, connectors, gradients, theme colours, bullets, fonts, and text alignment far closer to the original, and the viewer lets you move between slides with the arrow keys or the scroll wheel while the thumbnail strip follows along.

-- 🧾 **Spreadsheet shape in retrieval.** Turning on "ENABLE_RAG_CSV_SUMMARY" adds a short line naming the row count, data row count, and column names of a CSV to what the model sees, giving it the shape of the table alongside its contents. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/1b72899f246ba46ab8f7cd6aee2d56ef69217d82)

 - 🎚️ **Default interface settings for everyone.** Administrators can now set system-wide defaults for the interface options in Settings, either from the admin panel or through "DEFAULT_INTERFACE_SETTINGS", with each person's own choices still taking precedence and anything left untouched shown as inherited and kept in step with later changes to the defaults.

 - 🛡️ **Security Advisory**: This release includes security and access-control fixes. We recommend updating production deployments at your earliest convenience. Not all security fixes in this version may be enumerated in the fixed section. Some may be withheld for a short time to give administrators time to upgrade.

 ### Changed
 
 - ⚠️ **Database Migrations**: This release includes database schema changes; we strongly recommend backing up your database and all associated data before upgrading in production environments. If you are running a multi-worker, multi-server, or load-balanced deployment, all instances must be updated simultaneously, rolling updates are not supported and will cause application failures due to schema incompatibility.
-- 💾 **Saving replies as they stream.** The setting that controlled whether each piece of a reply was written to the database as it arrived no longer has any effect, because a reply in progress is now held outside the database and written once when it finishes. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/a1579a01ff43cacb357269707d36267ad35e01d6)
