Attaching to a long-running browser (a signed-in profile, an Electron app kept
open for a session) meant repeating app.cdp_url on every browser call, and any
call that omitted it silently launched a fresh headless Chromium instead.
browser.cdpUrl supplies that endpoint once. It is a default rather than an
override: app.cdp_url and app.path still win, and an unset or blank value leaves
cmux and headless resolution exactly as before.
- Remove the per-call `save` option from `tab.screenshot()` to simplify usage.
- Update `tab.screenshot()` to return the saved file path as a promise string.
- Configure screenshot persistence to use daemon path or custom `browser.screenshotDir`.
- Add comprehensive tests verifying temp path return and custom directory saving.
Replace the inspect_image.enabled boolean with inspect_image.mode
(auto|on|off, default auto). In auto the tool is registered only when
the active model lacks native image input, so vision-capable models
(e.g. kimi-code/k3) read images inline with their own capabilities
instead of delegating to a separate vision model. on/off force
registration regardless of model capability.
- New utils/inspect-image-mode.ts resolves the effective state from the
/vision session override, the persisted setting, and model capability
- read tool re-evaluates the effective state per image read and
re-renders its description, so it returns decoded image blocks again
whenever inspect_image is hidden
- /vision [on|off|auto|status] slash command (modeled on /computer)
overrides the mode for the current session only
- Tool set is reconciled on model switch with a status notice when
inspect_image appears/disappears
- Legacy inspect_image.enabled true/false migrates to mode on/off
- effort row: omission keeps the agent's configured selector (auto only for
agents configured auto, e.g. bundled task; scout/sonic use medium)
- Flow step 12: settings snapshot is not a verbatim copy — tier.* re-resolved
via tier.subagent, plus per-spawn read-summarize / workspace-root overrides
- task.md: subagents inherit async.enabled and bash.autoBackground.enabled
from the parent (since 17.1.0), not force-disabled/"internally synchronous"
- task.md: document the per-spawn effort parameter ("lo"|"med"|"hi")
- eval.md: document the eval agent(model=...) per-call model selector, which
the agent-bridge still accepts and forwards
Fixes#6594
- Add leniency rule in parser to auto-accept bare `-` rows as literal content when hunks represent Markdown bullet lists.
- Emit MINUS_BULLET_AUTO_PIPED_WARNING when bullet-shaped rows lack explicit plus prefixes.
- Reject ambiguous or non-bullet minus rows to prevent unified-diff contamination.
- Added tool schema and description compaction for oversized data payloads in `packages/coding-agent/src/debug/raw-sse-buffer.ts`.
- Implemented head-tail trimming to preserve leading and trailing event fields when events exceed character budgets.
- Added test coverage verifying SSE debug event truncation, elision markers, and JSON-safe tool compaction behavior.
- Removes `model` field from task item/schema, TaskParams, and TaskItem types.
- Removes model selector validation, formatting, and approval display logic.
- Updates task tool priority docs to reflect that model is no longer per-call overridable.
- Updates eval agent() helper docs and prompt templates to remove model parameter.
- Updates tests to reflect removal of model override capability.
- Replaced the separate GUI-linked pi_natives.desktop.linux-x64 addon with
a pure-Rust X11 backend (x11rb RustConnection capture via RandR/GetImage,
XTest input with keysym mapping) compiled into the core addon on every
published target; Linux arm64 and musl are now supported and headless
hosts load the addon unaffected.
- Removed the native-desktop-linux cargo feature, desktop_unsupported.rs,
lazy desktop loader, second napi build, desktop packaging/CI steps, GUI
build dependencies, and the now-unreferenced vendored libspa crate;
reverted setup-system-deps to main.
- Preserved the desktop input hardening semantics on the unified backend:
XTest layouts reject negative origins and coordinates beyond 0..=32767,
batch coordinates stay bound to the frame last returned to JS with
intermediate screenshots deferred, coordinate input requires a
previously returned frame, and failed chord releases still release
every held key.
- Enforced a 60s worker-side execute deadline (DESKTOP_DEADLINE_EXCEEDED):
no input is emitted after expiry and wait-heavy batches are rejected
upfront.
- Added int32 fail-closed validation for coordinates, drag points, and
scroll deltas at the JS ingress and gateway schema.
- Exposed computer to models without native OpenAI computer-use support as
a regular function tool with a typed GA action schema across OpenAI,
Azure, and Codex Responses providers, including named forced choice.
- Added the /computer slash command (on/off/status/toggle) for
session-only enablement via runtime tool registration in SessionTools.
- Updated docs, changelogs, and contract tests accordingly.
- Replaced single-provider preferences with ordered priority lists for web search and image generation.
- Added a `MultiSelectSubmenu` component supporting toggle and reordering interactions in settings.
- Implemented migration logic to convert legacy single-provider preferences into ordered priority lists.
- Updated setup wizard scenes, image generation fallback logic, and search provider chains to use priority lists.
Added TCP server transport for vscode-js-debug and recursively handled startDebugging requests, breakpoint synchronization, active child routing, and tree cleanup.
Fixes#5984
- Added the `xd://` virtual device protocol (`internal-urls/xd-protocol.ts`, `tools/xdev.ts`): tools declaring `loadMode: "discoverable"` are unmounted from the request tools array and driven via `read xd://` (list/docs+schema) and `write xd://<tool>` (execute), gated by the `tools.xdev` setting (default on) and inlined into the system prompt.
- Merged the `irc`, `job`, and `launch` tools into a single `hub` tool (`tools/hub/`, `async/job-manager.ts`): messaging keeps `send`/`inbox`/`list`, job control maps to `wait`/`cancel`/`jobs`, process supervision keeps `start`/`logs`/`stop`/`restart`/`describe` with `ps`, and the unified `wait` races background jobs against peer messages; SDK `IrcTool`/`JobTool`/`LaunchTool` are replaced by `HubTool`.
- Removed the hidden `resolve` tool in favor of the `xd://resolve`/`xd://reject`/`xd://propose` resolution devices, auto-including `write` whenever a deferrable tool or plan mode is present.
- Removed the BM25 tool-discovery system: the `search_tool_bm25` tool, the `tool-discovery` module, the `tools.discoveryMode`/`mcp.discoveryMode`/`mcp.discoveryDefaultServers`/`tools.essentialOverride` settings, per-tool MCP selection, and the `mcp_tool_selection` message type.
- Unified tool presentation on `ToolLoadMode` (`essential`|`discoverable`), replacing the custom-tool `xdev?: boolean` opt-out; custom, extension, MCP, RPC host, image-generation, and TTS tools now default to `discoverable`, and added a `satisfies` predicate to `SoftToolRequirement`.
- Removed the standalone `ssh` command tool and `ssh/ssh-executor` (the `ssh://` read/write/search protocol stays), and made `--tools` address hidden built-ins.
- Updated collab-web to render `xd://` dispatches and `hub` op families, dropped the `search_tool_bm25`/`ssh`/`report-finding` renderers, refreshed tool docs and prompts, and migrated the affected tests and changelogs.
- Updated prewalk gating in `AgentSession` to key the todo gate on active tools instead of registry presence, so deactivated todo tools no longer block prewalk handoff.
- Changed subprocess tool filtering so `todo` is stripped for normal subagents but retained when prewalk is armed, and propagated the prewalk state through tool-session setup.
- Added regression tests for restricted active-tool slates and prewalk/non-prewalk subagent tool propagation to verify todo is handled correctly in each case.
The agent:// path segment was always treated as a jq JSON-extraction key
against <parent>.md, so agent://Parent/Child loaded Parent.md and applied
.Child instead of resolving the nested child capsule Parent.Child.md. A
precise-planner reading its own scout child therefore got Not found.
The slash is now a hierarchy separator first: agent://Parent/Child resolves
Parent.Child.md (subagent children are allocated as dot-qualified ids). It
falls back to JSON extraction only when no nested output matches the path;
the ?q= query form is always extraction.
Fixes#5238
- Replaced legacy `pi/` role alias prefix with canonical `@` syntax across model resolution, documentation, and tests.
- Added support for bare `*` default alias and multiple alias prefix detection with custom role resolution in `resolveConfiguredRolePattern()`.
- Enhanced thinking suffix parsing to accept unambiguous abbreviations (minimum 2 characters) for effort and level selectors.
- Extended `resolveCliModel()` and `filterAvailableModelsByEnabledPatterns()` to accept settings parameter for role alias resolution from `--model` flag.
- Introduced a project-scoped `launch` tool to orchestrate long-running services, debuggers, and watchers with persistent execution capabilities.
- Implemented a robust daemon broker with Unix/Windows IPC transport that manages process lifecycles, readiness monitoring, and automatic log rotation.
- Added detached process support to ensure services persist independently of the main application lifecycle, including recovery and cleanup mechanisms.
- Updated the `bash` interceptor to prioritize the new `launch` tool for background processes and provided comprehensive documentation for lifecycle and signal handling.
- Removed the bash command fixup system and associated logic from both the Rust and TypeScript components.
- Deleted the redundant fixup module and its exported implementations.
- Updated technical documentation and configuration settings to reflect the removal of pre-execution bash command rewriting.
- Enabled granular task execution by allowing batches to interleave blocking items with non-blocking async background spawns.
- Updated task orchestration to support simultaneous inline result collection and persistent background job tracking.
- Improved agent visibility in the job tool by reporting running subagents even when not explicitly linked to a backing job ID.
- Enhanced terminal state handling to prevent premature tool block closures while async background operations remain active.
- Renamed task wire fields, replacing `assignment` and `description` with `task` and `name` while removing `role` references.
- Implemented automated task UI label generation using a tiny model to replace manual role descriptions.
- Updated task execution and rendering logic to support per-item agent resolution and dynamic badge display.
- Migrated schemas, prompts, and test suites to enforce the new flat task structure and agent-centric policy.
- Added six new search providers (Bing, Yahoo, Ecosia, Startpage, Mojeek, and Public) to expand coverage and parallel search capabilities.
- Implemented a unified `browserFetch` utility with headless-browser fallback and randomized Chrome profiles to improve scrape reliability.
- Integrated automated bot-defense mechanisms including CAPTCHA detection, ALTCHA proof-of-work, and homepage-token flows.
- Fixed hanging search CLI commands by ensuring proper closure of AuthStorage connections.
- Removed the `plan` agent definition and associated prompt file from bundled agents.
- Updated documentation to reflect the removal of `plan` from available subagents.
- Cleaned up related tests to remove references to the deprecated agent.
Documented the 1-3600 second bash timeout clamp in the schema, model-facing prompt, and tool docs, including the async timeout behavior.
Added coverage that the shipped schema and rendered prompt expose the contract.
Fixes#4408
Added providers.webSearchGeminiModel and GEMINI_SEARCH_MODEL so Gemini web_search requests use a selected grounding model while keeping gemini-2.5-flash as the fallback.
Covered OAuth, Developer API, and missing modelVersion fallback paths in Gemini web search tests.
Fixes#4312
Clarified hashline minus-row errors and model-facing prompt examples so Markdown list rows use the + body-row prefix instead of triggering write fallbacks.
Fixes#4179
Added root omp docs for memory_edit, learn, manage_skill, generate_image, and tts, plus package-level coverage for user-facing README-only CLIs.
Added a docs-index freshness check to package check and made gen:bundle generate and reset the docs embed itself.
Fixes#3934
- Renamed references to the `quick_task` subagent to `sonic` across docs, agent definitions, prompts, and test files.
- Updated the parallel file analysis tool to spawn `sonic` subagents instead of `quick_task`.
- Documented the breaking change in the changelog along with additions and removals of other built-in subagents.
