- Added a `resolveSearchRepoScope` helper that uses an explicit `repo` when provided, skips defaulting when a query already contains a repo/org/user/owner scope qualifier, and otherwise resolves the current checkout via `resolveDefaultRepoMemoized`.
- Updated `search_issues`, `search_prs`, `search_code`, and `search_commits` to use the resolver before composing API queries, defaulting `repo` when omitted but silently falling back to an unscoped search on resolution failure.
- Documented the new search-repo defaulting rules in tool prompts, user docs, and the package changelog.
- Removed local `abortableSleep` in favour of Node's built-in `scheduler.wait` from `node:timers/promises`.
- Consolidated per-provider retry/fetch loops into a shared `fetchWithRetry` utility in `packages/utils`.
- Moved `extractHttpStatusFromError`, `isRetryableError`, and related helpers out of `packages/ai` into `packages/utils`.
- Deleted `extractRetryDelay` in favour of `extractRetryHint` with unified header and body parsing.
- Added issue:// and pr:// URL handlers for single lookups and list queries with query filters.
- Added a SQLite-backed GitHub cache with soft/hard TTLs, stale hits, and background stale refresh.
- Removed issue_view and pr_view tool operations, inputs, and docs, requiring reads via issue:// and pr:// URLs.
- Added github-cache and issue-pr-protocol tests with temporary cache DB setup and OMP_GITHUB_CACHE_DB teardown.
- Switched issue and PR search handlers to `gh api /search/issues` with `is:issue`/`is:pr` queries.
- Added REST search response models and mapped issue/code/commit/repo payloads to normalized results.
- Updated code, commit, and repo search parsing to read `{items}` envelopes and convert snake_case fields.
- Fixed merged-PR output state by deriving it from `pull_request.merged_at` in test fixtures.
