- Added timeout pause/resume control ops and helper to suspend idle timers during bridge work.
- Fixed TimeoutError on long delegated agent()/llm() calls by pausing timeout while silent.
- Updated IdleTimeout with reference-counted pauses, ignored checks while paused, and resumed fresh.
- Replaced heartbeat keepalives with timeout-control events in bridge paths and status routing.
- Only bridge heartbeats (`agent()`/`llm()`) now re-arm the watchdog; compute, stdout, `log()`/`phase()`, and ordinary tool calls count against the budget.
- Emitted an immediate heartbeat at bridge call start to avoid early abort near budget edge.
- Removed `idle` flag and "of inactivity" suffix from timeout annotation strings.
- Updated docs, prompts, and comments to reflect the new wall-clock semantics.
The per-cell `timeout` is an inactivity budget that only re-arms on status
events, but host-side bridge calls can run long stretches with no
intermediate status (a subagent's time-to-first-token on a reasoning
model, a long quiet nested tool, or an entire oneshot llm() request).
The watchdog mistook that for a stall and aborted working subagents
mid-flight.
Pump a lightweight heartbeat while a bridge call awaits, re-arming the
watchdog through the existing emitStatus -> onStatus channel. The
heartbeat is a pure keepalive: forwarded to bump the timer but never
stored or rendered, so a genuinely stalled cell is still interrupted
once the call settles.
- eval/heartbeat.ts: withBridgeHeartbeat() + EVAL_HEARTBEAT_OP
- agent-bridge/llm-bridge: wrap runSubprocess / completeSimple
- js+py executors: forward heartbeat to onStatus, drop from displayOutputs
- tools/eval.ts: bump on heartbeat, skip persist/render
- Changed eval timeout behavior from hard wall-clock deadlines to per-cell inactivity budgets in all executors.
- Added IdleTimeout watchdog support, including bumps on status/tool activity and timer cleanup after execution.
- Updated executor option plumbing to replace deadlineMs with idleTimeoutMs and emit inactivity timeout annotations.
- Added IdleTimeout and shared-executor tests and updated prompt/repl docs for the new timeout contract.
- Added optional `onStatus` callback wiring across eval backends and JS/Python executors for live status streams.
- Added collectDisplay-based forwarding so `emitStatus` and `onDisplay` route status outputs consistently.
- Expanded agent status payloads with preview/model/token-cost context and kept completion updates single-pass.
- Added status upsert and render adjustments in `tools/eval.ts` to coalesce agent events with progress stats.
- Added status/progress test coverage for running/completed agent events, final metric retention, and parallel placement.
- Updated CHANGELOG Unreleased notes to record live progress updates and completion-status metric fixes.
- Dropped `args` input from eval tool schema, JS/Python executors, and worker protocol.
- Removed per-call `args` injection from JS runtime and Python kernel/runner.
- Deleted related tests and updated docs to reflect removal.
- 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.
- 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.
