What this post added

Introduces Claude Opus 4.8 as a new model option within the GitLab Duo Agent Platform, enhancing agentic capabilities for complex, multi-step work. Highlights improved long-horizon agentic execution with more precise interpretation and fewer interventions. Adds support for mid-conversation system prompts, allowing dynamic updates to system instructions without invalidating the prompt cache, which is beneficial for scenarios with changing context like file modifications or updated user context.
