Three follow-ups to #11686, from its sandboxed verification report and the audits of this change. The plan-recorded wall is elapsed time and the next reverse-audit round is priced at the costliest admission-to-admission span, so a pause is charged twice: it spends the wall and, while it is the longest gap, prices the next round. A new Review Deadline section in the user docs gives the ceilings: under the default reserve a review can pause after its first audit pair (rounds 1 and 2 launch together) for at most about 3h20m / 5h20m / 7h20m on the 8h / 12h / 16h walls, (wall - 80m) / 2 on any wall of 4h or more, less by half of any time before the pair launched. It also says a stopped review composes and reports what it proved with the verdict capped, that running /review again follows the incremental-review rules rather than continuing the audit, and that setting the wall through the environment applies to every review in the session. DESIGN.md states the same rule, including the gate's price floors. The soft-deadline paragraph under Headless runs and the --deadline help point to the section, and the help now names what the environment epoch wins over. Tests drive the real gate to pin the ceilings, the later-launch discount and the costliest-span case. capture-local keeps #11686's one-line error contract (a usage error exits 2, anything else 1) and now prints the error's stack after that line under --debug, so an internal fault can be located without turning operator errors back into crash banners. Only the flag does this; debug variables in the environment do not. The handler also rules --out before the tree is captured, as fetch-diff and issue-context do: a directory --out used to run the whole capture and then fail with EISDIR, and a blank one wrote the plan to a whitespace-named file. The shared assertWritableOutPath now names the mistake for a non-string --out: "--out must be given once, as a file path" for a repeated flag (an array), "--out must name a file path" for --no-out, instead of `out.trim is not a function`. fetch-diff and issue-context pass --out through instead of String()-ing it, which wrote a repeated flag to one comma path and --no-out to a file named `false`; both now exit 2 before fetching.

Why Qwen Code?
- Agentic out of the box — Auto-Memory, Auto-Skills, SubAgents, Agent Teams, and MCP. Dynamic workflows, zero setup.
- Open-source, inside and out — The framework and the Qwen models are open-source. They evolve together. No vendor lock-in.
- Multi-protocol — Supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and Qwen APIs. Any third-party provider or local model (Ollama / vLLM). Switch at runtime.
- Beyond the terminal — IDE plugins, Desktop app, Web UI, SDKs, and chat integrations (Telegram / DingTalk / WeChat / Feishu).
Tip
Qwen Code is actively iterating on itself — using its own agent and models to file issues, submit PRs, review code, and run tests. Powered by the community, driven by AI.

SDK example (Python)
import asyncio
from qwen_code_sdk import is_sdk_result_message, query
async def main() -> None:
result = query(
"Summarize the repository layout.",
{
"cwd": "/path/to/project",

},
)
async for message in result:
if is_sdk_result_message(message):
print(message["result"])
asyncio.run(main())
Capabilities
If you know Claude Code, you already know Qwen Code — and then some. We've put significant effort into bringing Qwen Code to feature parity with Claude Code, improving both breadth and reliability across the board.

Acknowledgments
This project was originally based on Google Gemini CLI v0.8.2. We gratefully acknowledge the Gemini CLI team's excellent work. Starting from Qwen Code v0.1, we stopped syncing with upstream and began independent development as a multi-protocol, multi-platform agent framework with deep integrations for Qwen models and beyond.
