- Replaced silent budget-based termination with a graceful stop and forced-yield mechanism.
- Implemented resumable subagent states to preserve agent context upon budget exhaustion.
- Increased default soft request budget to 200 and updated IRC bus signaling to distinguish between active, resumable, and hard-aborted statuses.
- Added comprehensive status-aware prompts and unit tests to verify non-terminal abort behavior.
- Update `IrcBus.wait` to accept a `liveness` configuration, automatically aborting waits if the specified sender or relevant peers transition to an idle state.
- Enhance `IrcTool` to utilize liveness monitoring during `wait` operations, ensuring the agent does not hang if target peers become unreachable.
- Refactor `IrcBus.wait` to unify internal settlement logic and improve cleanup robustness.
Plan mode records idle IRC deliveries into context without waking a turn,
so an 'irc send await:true' sender was stranded until its wait timeout:
delivery reported injected but no reply could ever be generated. Extend the
existing ephemeral side-channel auto-reply (previously only for mid-turn
recipients with async execution disabled) to the idle plan-mode case — the
second situation where a real reply turn cannot happen in time. No primary
turn is woken; plan-mode convergence stays user-driven.
The deliverIrcMessage eligibility change itself rode in the previous commit
(same-file hunks); this commit carries the bus doc and the regression test:
an awaited idle IRC message in plan mode resolves the sender's bus waiter
via the side-channel reply while the primary loop stays asleep.
- Suppressed main-UI relay for sibling broadcast legs when the main agent is a direct target.
- Added `suppressRelay` option to `IrcBus.send` to allow selective disabling of relay rendering.
- Ensured broadcast fan-outs avoid rendering the same message twice in the main transcript.
- Implemented `AdvisorTranscriptRecorder` to persist advisor sessions to append-only `__advisor.jsonl` files.
- Integrated transcript recording into agent sessions with managed flushing, atomic file switching, and synthetic turn attribution.
- Restricted advisor-kind agents by excluding them from rosters, history protocols, messaging, and interactive agent commands.
- Reserved the `__advisor` filename stem across the output manager and task registry to prevent task ID collisions.
A subagent's send await:true to Main during a blocking task spawn was a structural deadlock: deliverIrcMessage queues mid-turn messages as step-boundary asides, but Main's next boundary requires the sender's own batch to finish, so the sender always burned the full irc.timeoutMs. Awaited sends now pass expectsReply through IrcBus.send; a mid-turn recipient with async.enabled off generates an ephemeral no-tools reply via runEphemeralTurn, records an irc:autoreply aside in its own history, and delivers it back over the bus with replyTo threading so the sender's waiter resolves.
Replaces the blocking auto-reply IRC turn with a process-global IrcBus and a four-op tool (send/wait/inbox/list). send is fire-and-forget with per-recipient delivery receipts (injected/woken/revived/failed); replies become real turns by the recipient, observed via wait (or the send await:true sugar). Bounded per-agent mailboxes (cap 100) drop oldest on overflow; AgentSession.deliverIrcMessage folds an in-flight delivery in as a non-interrupting aside at the next step boundary, or starts a real wake turn when idle. AgentRegistry/lifecycle handle the idle→woken / parked→revived transitions, so messaging a non-running peer brings it back. Adds a dedicated TUI renderer (directional headers, delivery-outcome coloring, quoted bodies, per-recipient receipt trees, status-badged peer lists with unread counts). irc.timeoutMs is now the default timeout for wait / send await:true. AgentSession sheds the agentRegistry config field, the dedupeIrcReply → dedupeEphemeralReply rename (now used by /btw and /omfg), and the background-channel exchange queue / forwardIrcRelayToMain plumbing the auto-reply model needed.
