 ## [Unreleased]
 
-### Added
-- Per-profile chat streaming and chat-request timeouts: `stream`, `read_timeout`
-  and `connect_timeout` are now resolvable in `[default]`/`[model.<profile>]`
-  (CLI `--stream`/`--read-timeout`/`--connect-timeout` still override).
-
-### Changed
-- The chat request now honors the configured `(connect, read)` timeout instead
-  of a hard-coded 30 s; the default `read_timeout` is 600 s so slow reasoning
-  models are no longer cut off mid-generation.
-
 ## [0.1.0] - 2026-07-07
 
 Initial release. Replaces the previous collection of shell scripts
