Placed subagent-scoped fallback chains ahead of inherited retry chains so overlapping primary selectors prefer the explicit subagent model order.
Expanded the regression to pin fallback chain insertion order when a global chain shares the same primary selector.
Installed subagent-scoped retry fallback chains from ordered task model candidates so provider failures can advance to the next configured worker model.
Updated task result tracking to surface the fallback-applied final model and added focused regression coverage for the executor wiring.
Fixes#2750
- SetAdvisorEnabled now used settings.override for advisor.enabled when enabling or disabling, keeping advisor toggles session-local.
- /advisor on|off handlers now called refreshStatusLine after each toggle, and the status line updates immediately in the UI.
- A regression test was added to assert setAdvisorEnabled invokes override with both values and does not call set.
- Passed USER_INTERRUPT_LABEL through abort paths in collab, ACP, RPC, runtime, and SDK flows.
- Added userInitiated to synthetic continue inputs and session prompt calls.
- Suppressed advisor auto-resume during user aborts and preserved queued concerns.
- Cleared suppression on user prompts and reclaimed parked advisor cards on abort settle.
- Added the missing `ui.group` property to the `plan.defaultOnStartup` setting schema entry.
- Recorded the fix in the coding-agent changelog under the Fixed section.
- Added a list-mode flag to job rendering and used it to keep background job listing behavior distinct.
- Filtered non-partial poll call results to exclude running jobs and return no output when only running jobs remain.
- Added tests covering partial rendering, poll-based filtering, and list/cancel paths for the updated preview behavior.
Checked structured classifier refusals before the interrupted-output retry guard so provider refusals with explanatory content still use the configured fallback path.
Fixes#2683
Re-throw ToolAbortError from soft-expired issue and PR synchronous refreshes instead of falling back to stale cached content.
Cover the abort path in github-cache tests.
Fixes#2684
- Added an includeToolIntent option to session history formatting to control intent comments.
- Updated tool call rendering to prefix call lines with a leading comment when the tool argument contains a non-empty intent field.
- Enabled intent rendering in advisor history updates and added tests for intent-on and intent-off output paths.
Refresh soft-expired issue and PR view cache rows synchronously before returning content, while keeping PR diff rows on stale-first refresh semantics.
Add stale fallback warnings when a live refresh fails and cover the cache/protocol behavior in tests.
Fixes#2684
- Added awaited `onTurnEnd` and `setOnTurnEnd` wiring for turn-end callbacks.
- Added `advisor.syncBacklog` settings (off/1/3/5) and documented 30-second catch-up caps.
- Fixed advisor runtime backlog handling with failure counters, waiters, and retry requeue.
- Updated agent sessions to enqueue advisor updates on turn end and removed direct `turn_end` branch logic.
Prevented auto-retry from regenerating write calls after a provider stream timeout has already exposed assistant content or tool-call arguments.
Fixes#2683
- Added discovery of local, user, and ancestor `WATCHDOG.md` files via `discoverWatchdogFiles`.
- Appended discovered watchdog prompts to advisor system prompts during session setup.
- Added protocol startup defaults that force `advisor.enabled` and `advisor.subagents` false.
- Handled `maintainContext` failures and drained pending updates before token estimation.
- Removed the collapsed-mode truncation branch that forced advisor message cards to restrict bodies to two lines.
- Added a regression test covering long collapsed advisor notes to ensure they wrap at narrow widths instead of being cut short.
- Updated the package changelog to document the collapsed advisor note wrapping fix.
- Added advisor context maintenance hook and token estimation before prompting for auto-upkeep.
- Added re-prime replay handling to reset advisor context and recover deferred prompts.
- Implemented session-level context compaction with model promotion and snapcompact-first fallback summarization.
- Surfaced advisor settings in the model tab and updated advisor system guidance text.
- Created AdvisorRuntime and AdviseTool to drive a read-only advisor agent that delivers severity-tagged advice (nit, concern, blocker) with interruption policy and transcript delta rendering.
- Added /advisor slash command with on/off/status/dump subcommands to control advisor lifecycle and inspect advisor metrics (model, messages, tokens, cost).
- Added advisor.enabled and advisor.subagents settings to enable passive advisor review on main agent and spawned task/eval subagents.
- Implemented advisor message rendering with severity-color badges (blocker=error, concern=warning, nit=muted) in chat log and status line indicator (++ badge).
- Extended yield-queue and session-history-format to support advisor batching and optional thinking block inclusion.
- Updated the assistant-message thinking animation to cycle through rising block glyph frames.
- Updated the accompanying comment to describe the new block-based pulse motion.
- Added a token-first four-phase design-system workflow (analyze, build-if-missing, compose-with-tokens, verify) to the designer agent so visual work references design tokens instead of hardcoded magic numbers.
- Added an evidence standard to the reviewer agent: a finding is not real until you can name the exact input that triggers it, and passing tests are not proof of correctness.
- Added an evidence-bound completion requirement to the task agent: name the exact check run and its observable result before returning.
- Added a return_handle (Python) / returnHandle (JS) option to the eval agent() helper that returns a DAG node dict { text, output, handle, id, agent } instead of bare text, where handle is the spawned agent's recoverable agent:// URI.
- Enabled downstream pipeline/parallel stages to reference a large transcript by handle/output instead of re-inlining it; the default path stays backward compatible (bare text, or the parsed object under schema).
- Documented return_handle and the acyclic DAG-wiring pattern in the eval tool description and added a VM-level prelude regression test for the node shape and the no-details fallback.
Keep provider-anchored pre-prompt checks based on the prior provider prompt usage plus only positive current system/tool token growth, avoiding a second full charge for unchanged non-message context.
Fixes#2628
- Suppressed MCP connecting and LSP startup event renders when startup.quiet is enabled.\n- Added regression coverage for quiet MCP and LSP startup event handling.\n\nFixes #2639
- Renamed ToolCallSyntax type to Dialect and Grammar interface to DialectDefinition across all packages.
- Moved grammar directory to dialect and updated all import paths in agent, ai, catalog, and coding-agent packages.
- Added renderTranscript and renderThinking methods to DialectDefinition, enabling native dialect-aware conversation serialization.
- Consolidated rendering utilities into new dialect/rendering.ts with shared helpers for ChatML, legacy text, and dialect-specific formatting.
- Updated conversation serialization in agent and coding-agent to use dialect.renderTranscript() for native turn envelope rendering.
Restricted MSYS and WSL drive alias normalization to forward-slash roots so native Windows root-relative paths like \d\logs stay on the current drive.
Fixes#2634
Mapped MSYS and WSL drive aliases before bash cwd validation and brush filesystem resolution so cd, stat-style tests, and tool cwd handling agree on Windows.
Fixes#2634
Render a breathing dots pulse (·‥…‥) in place of a hidden thinking block while the model is actively reasoning, so streaming progress is visible with hideThinkingBlock enabled. The pulse shows only while the block is live (not finalized), thinking is hidden, no tool call has started, and the tail block is thinking; it yields to streamed text and is removed when the block is sealed.
- Canonicalized assistant and thinking messages by trimming and collapsing dot text.
- Skipped rendering assistant and thinking blocks when canonicalized content was empty.
- Filtered ACP thinking notifications and session outputs to ignore placeholder content.
- Added canonicalizeMessage tests for undefined, blank, whitespace, and dot-only inputs.
- Updated compaction, branch summarization, and session dump formatting to pass preferred model tool syntax into conversation serialization.
- Enhanced shared serializers to render assistant tool calls and tool results through grammar envelopes when syntax is available, with the prior compact format as fallback.
- Aligned prompt, preview, and test fixtures to the new transcript tags: `[Think]`, `[Tool Call]`, and `[Tool Result]`.
