- Replaced blanket subagent advisor global settings with fine-grained per-agent configuration and frontmatter support.
- Added dashboard keybindings and inline override editors for managing agent advisor patterns.
- Implemented settings migration logic to convert legacy global options into per-agent settings.
- Updated session persistence and execution layers to restore and enforce per-agent advisor behaviors.
Added a canonical guide for the Agent Hub roster, transcript, steering, revive, kill, persisted-agent, and advisor workflows.
Linked the guide from task-agent, TUI, keybinding, collaboration, advisor, and website documentation.
Fixes#7880
- 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.
- 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.
- Added schema and type updates for task-agent fields and model resolver settings.
- Extended discovery helper logic to carry resolved task-agent metadata through execution setup.
- Updated task/agent registration and execution paths to use the new capability/field data.
- Expanded test coverage for agent-field parsing, model resolution, and executor prewalk behavior.
- 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.
- 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.
- Replaced task-simple-mode with a `task.batch` setting enabled by default.
- Updated task schema to use batch `{agent, context, tasks[]}` payloads.
- Migrated task execution to spawn one async job per task and merge outputs.
- Removed per-call schema passing while preserving legacy flat task calls.
- Renamed subagent completion flow from `submit_result` to `yield` across SDK tools, prompts, and docs.
- Updated executor/task handling to require and parse `yield` calls, replacing legacy submit-result extraction and state flags.
- Added `subagent-yield-reminder` and updated system prompts to require `yield` with `result.data` or `result.error`.
- Renamed hidden-tool and registration plumbing to `yield`, including discovery helpers and renderer/test surface.
- Moved documentation files from packages/coding-agent/docs/ to root docs/ directory to flatten the documentation structure.
- Updated all internal documentation links to account for the new file locations, adjusting relative paths to maintain correct references across the monorepo.
- Updated README.md and issue template configuration to reference documentation at the new root docs/ location instead of packages/coding-agent/docs/.
