v0.65.3

🌟 Release Highlights

This release focuses on improving the gh aw update experience, prerelease handling, and release channel management — with important fixes for import path preservation and service container documentation.

⚠️ Breaking Changes

• Stable release channel removed (#23755): The releases.json aliases and stable release channel have been removed. If you were pinned to the stable channel, switch to latest. The update-stable-release.yml workflow has also been removed.

✨ What's New

• Prerelease-aware updates (#23810): gh aw update now skips prerelease versions when resolving the latest release, so you'll always land on a stable release by default.
• Release promotion workflow (#23811): A new internal workflow makes it easy to promote a prerelease to the latest stable channel with a single trigger.

🐛 Bug Fixes & Improvements

• gh aw update no longer rewrites local imports (#23809): Fixed a bug where running gh aw update would overwrite local relative imports: paths with cross-repo paths that fail at runtime.
• DeepReport workflow reliability (#23807): Switched from Codex to Claude engine and corrected the memory path so the deep-report workflow runs reliably.

📚 Documentation

• Service containers from the agent sandbox (#23776): Clarified that services (e.g., Postgres) started via services: are bound to the runner host and must be reached from the agent container using host.docker.internal:<port> — not localhost.
