- Added `tools.artifactHeadBytes` and `tools.outputMaxColumns` settings with defaults in `SETTINGS_SCHEMA`.
- Expanded `OutputSink` with `headBytes`/`maxColumns` and middle truncate logic with elision markers and tracking.
- Updated output-meta to resolve sink settings, emit truncation metrics, and use `truncateMiddle` for spills.
- Integrated head and column limits into JS/Python/Bash/SSH/read output flows, with `:raw` skipping read truncation.
- Documented new output middle-elision and column-cap behavior in `CHANGELOG.md`.
- Added truncation tests for `OutputSink`, `truncateMiddle`, and read-tool line handling.
- Replaced Python execution with a local `python -u runner.py` subprocess and NDJSON stdin/stdout framing.
- Removed shared-gateway architecture, including coordinator lifecycle APIs, `useSharedGateway` wiring, and `jupyter` CLI/actions.
- Simplified setup checks to a plain Python 3 availability probe and removed automatic dependency-install fallbacks.
- Updated kernel cancellation and display processing to use status frames, SIGINT/SIGTERM escalation, and normalized output coercion.
- Added `python-runner` integration and display tests while deleting legacy websocket and kernel lifecycle test suites.
- Added parent-to-subagent artifact manager adoption so subagents reuse the parent `ArtifactManager` and write artifacts into a shared directory with shared IDs.
- Passed the shared artifact manager through tool/session context into subagent executor startup and exposed it via `SessionManager` and `ToolSession` for lookup.
- Updated kernel environment and artifact-resolution paths to prefer `PI_ARTIFACTS_DIR`, falling back to existing session-file-based behavior when absent.
The warmup path no longer produces prelude docs, so the cached-session
warmup it implemented added no value over the create-on-first-execute
path that withKernelSession already covers. Remove warmPythonEnvironment,
the backend warm() hook, the eval-tool warmup loop, the createTools
warmup preflight, and the forcePythonWarmup option. Simplify
ExecutorBackendCallOptions into ExecutorBackendExecOptions since execute
is now the only consumer.
- Added a unified eval framework with parser grammar, backend interfaces, and JS/Python execution result types.
- Added eval tool docs and updated prompts for fenced cells, `eval.py`/`eval.js`, and fallback behavior.
- Replaced the built-in `python` tool with `eval` across registry, rendering, interactive modes, and tool settings.
- Migrated Python execution runtime from `src/ipy` to `src/eval/py`, renamed state fields, and removed legacy introspection.
- Refactored browser tooling from in-process VM helpers to worker-managed tab supervisors and protocol transport.
- Added eval parser fallback and JS tool-bridge tests, updated imports, and removed obsolete python-mode suites.
