- Replaced per-line hash anchors with file-level hash validation in hashline format, changing anchor syntax from LINE+HASH to bare LINE numbers.
- Simplified hashline line separator from pipe (|) to colon (:) and replaced replace operator (->) with colon, added delete operator (!) for explicit line deletion.
- Implemented file-read snapshot caching with multi-snapshot ring buffer per path and file-hash-based recovery to detect and recover from stale edits.
- Refactored hashline grammar, parser, and execution to support file-level hash binding, anchor-scoped validation, and structural bracket warnings for delete operations.
- Updated documentation and test fixtures to reflect new hashline syntax with file hashes, colon separators, and delete operator throughout.
- Removed vim edit mode and automatically map existing vim configurations to hashline mode.
- Deleted VimTool class, VimEngine implementation, and all vim-specific editing logic (2409 lines).
- Removed vim mode from EditMode union type, edit tool strategies, and configuration schemas.
- Deleted vim parser, command handler, buffer manager, and renderer modules.
- Updated documentation and tests to remove vim mode references and add deprecation mapping.
- Updated hashline markers to `¶` headers and `^/v/->` operators across constants, prompts, docs, and tests.
- Reworked hashline grammar and parser to support `ANCHOR<SIGIL>[INLINE_PAYLOAD]` with optional inline bodies and `A-B` ranges.
- Changed range and marker syntax from `..`/`"` to `-` and suffix `^/v/->` forms like `7v` and `A->`.
- Aligned `sameLineRange()` output and BOF/EOF handling so `|TEXT` remains cosmetic and payload now follows the op line.
- Centralized op-line detection by replacing local regex helpers with `isHashlineOpLineText` for payload terminator and bad-op checks.
- Changed hashline format to canonical `§` section headers and `"`/`"`/`≔` operations across grammar, parser, and docs.
- Reworked range and op parsing so single anchors are valid, legacy `-`/`-=` ops error, and empty `≔` payloads now delete ranges.
- Removed legacy `HL_EDIT_SEP`, `$HSEP$`, and `hsep` plumbing, adopting raw payload lines.
- Updated execution, input, renderer, and streaming flows to use `HL_FILE_PREFIX` and `HL_OP_CHARS` helpers.
- Updated session-stats parsing to `§`/`≔`/`"`/`"` format, patch envelopes, and bumped parser versions.
- Removed the hashline-separator benchmark script and its PI_HL_SEP job orchestration.
- Updated hashline section parsing to accept headers with any leading `@` characters, normalizing them to the path before validation.
- Updated the hashline grammar and fallback errors to use canonical `@@ PATH` section headers.
- Added coverage for mixed `@@` and `@@@` headers across multiple file sections in hashline parsing tests.
