Image generation gains provider auth while app-server APIs keep evolving
Provider-authenticated image generation landed alongside a thread-items API rename and stricter plugin marketplace admission rules.
The day combined a visible extension capability with protocol and marketplace changes. App-server consumers should pay particular attention to the renamed thread-items method.
Alpha release context: 5 official tags were published that UTC day (rust-v0.143.0-alpha.11, rust-v0.143.0-alpha.12, rust-v0.143.0-alpha.13, rust-v0.143.0-alpha.14, rust-v0.143.0-alpha.15). The full comparison contains 65 commits and at least 300 changed files.
Evidence
Image generation extensions can use provider authentication.Why it matters: Extension hosts can authorize image generation through their provider instead of relying on one fixed authentication path.

The app-server method thread/turns/items/list was renamed to thread/items/list.Why it matters: App-server clients using the old method name need to move to the new thread-level endpoint.
