The Vercel streaming protocol is getting a long-overdue overhaul that finally surfaces errors to your AI SDK client.

The laravel/ai desk is rewriting the Vercel protocol stream to match what the AI SDK client actually expects [1]. Usage and finish reason are no longer thrown away, and provider failures after streaming starts now produce an error state instead of a dead spinner. The follow-up refactor renames `toVercelProtocolLine()` and flattens the usage object to the Vercel AI SDK schema [2]. While these changes land, remember the 0.11 upgrade guide is now available [3]. On the boost desk, there are landmines: pointing `boost:add-skill` at a skill's own directory found nothing, because the path filter only kept directories one level below [4]. Worse, running it against a repo with a root-level `SKILL.md` could delete everything in `.ai/skills` [5]. Both are being fixed. And under `ANSI_QUOTES`, MySQL schema reads were throwing and returning an empty table list; quoting the table type as a string literal fixes it [6]. Still, with 20 commits and 11 PRs across three repos, this is a day for careful upgrading, not blind deploys.
