+## 1.8.1 (2026-09-14)
+
+Roomote 1.8.1 restores Azure-backed delegated coding tasks and reliable Fast skill lookups on OpenAI models.
+
+### Highlights
+
+- Run delegated coding tasks through Azure providers without inference-gateway authentication failures.
+- List and load Fast skills reliably when OpenAI models supply optional tool arguments.
+
+### Patch changes
+
+- Delegated coding tasks using Azure OpenAI or Azure AI Foundry now authenticate through the inference gateway instead of failing before the provider request begins.
+- Fast `list_skills` and `load_skill` now tolerate null and filler optional arguments, return useful validation errors, and keep packaged and instance skills available when an optional scoped source fails.
