- Switch all UI components and tests from sharp box corners (`boxSharp`) to rounded ones (`boxRound`).
- Update `Theme` to re-export sharp junction symbols (tees and cross) under `boxRound` to ensure consistent divider rendering in rounded boxes.
- Remove outdated architectural notes regarding forced tool-choice queues in documentation.
Fix all Windows-specific test failures caused by path handling problems
and EBUSY errors from unclosed SQLite database handles.
Root causes fixed:
1. POSIX path assumptions: replaced hard-coded file:///tmp, /repo, etc.
with pathToFileURL/path.resolve/path.join computed expectations
2. shortenPath() now normalizes backslashes to forward slashes after ~
and respects home directory boundaries
3. HistoryStorage.resetInstance() leaked its Database — added #close()
that finalizes all prepared statements and closes the DB
4. AgentStorage gained the same resetInstance()/#close() pattern
5. SqliteAuthCredentialStore.close() leaked one-off prepared statements
from inline this.#db.prepare() calls — wrapped each in try/finally
6. model-cache.ts used a process-global DB even for custom dbPath —
now opens/closes per-call via withModelCacheDb
7. createAgentSession leaked AuthStorage on construction failure —
added ownsAuthStorage cleanup in catch block
8. MnemopiBackend.removeDbFiles() now truly best-effort (catches errors)
9. TempDir retry window expanded from 4x10ms to 40x25ms
10. TempDir prefix convention: non-@ prefixes created dirs relative to
cwd instead of os.tmpdir() — all test temp dirs now use @ prefix
11. Shell-escaped interpolated paths in bash tool tests
12. git core.autocrlf false in autoresearch test repo init
All 522 previously-failing Windows tests now pass.
- Enabled clickable read-path output for result rows, summaries, and previews.
- Resolved read links from result paths, source metadata, internal URLs, and absolutes.
- Preserved selector suffixes while rendering line-anchor hyperlinks.
- Ignored aborted signals for plain-file and directory reads while keeping conflicts-cancel behavior.
- Added tests for non-abortable read behavior and link-label rendering regression coverage.
- Updated task call and result rendering to process shared context with the Markdown renderer, so context sections are now displayed with proper Markdown formatting.
- Stopped shimmer animation on pending bash/eval/task blocks once async state is `running`, preventing the committed frame from freezing a transient dark border segment.
- Adjusted rule path display to fall back to a root-relative path when cwd-relative resolution is unavailable.
- Centralized transcript spacing by stripping blank edges and inserting separators.
- Removed per-component leading spacers and empty placeholders that added extra gaps.
- Introduced TranscriptBlock grouping so related outputs render as single transcript children.
- Updated transcript-related tests to validate one-row block separators and blank-line trimming.
- Added `setPaddingY` to `Box` and used `setBoxPaddingForFramedBlock` when rendering framed outputs.
- Read tool results now skipped vertical padding in framed blocks, removing extra blank rows above and below the output.
- Added a regression test for `ToolExecutionComponent` that confirmed framed read content no longer renders extra blank lines.
- Added image-reference rendering to make `[Image #N]` placeholders clickable in chat.
- Added MIME-aware image blob materialization with extensioned sidecar paths.
- Added clickable path, line, and URL hyperlinks for read, search, and fetch outputs.
- Hardened OSC8 hyperlink emission with URI validation and control-byte/idempotency checks.
