- Adjusted OutputSink to disable head retention after replace(), resetting counters so later pushes append to the tail and do not trigger stale middle-elision in dump().
- Refined artifact link emission to insert a newline separator only when the minimized output lacked one.
- Added a regression test for replace-plus-push ordering that verifies no elision marker and aligned byte counts.
- 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.
- Updated read schema, path utilities, and dispatch to parse selectors from :raw/:L suffixes on path, removing standalone sel usage.
- Changed truncation/error notices to continue with :<nextOffset> and :1 guidance for read and sqlite pagination.
- Added summarizeCode support with tree-sitter summaries, read.summarize settings, and N-API Summary types/exports.
- Added tests and docs updates for path-embedded selectors, summary behavior, and explicit raw/offset SQL/read cases.
- Updated `read` selector parsing for file and URL reads to accept optional leading `L` and `+` count-style ranges.
- Adjusted truncation notices and schema/help text to emit and suggest `sel` offsets without the `L` prefix, including continuation and suggestion messages.
- Updated hashline/output parsing and related tests to recognize the new `sel` formatting in truncation notices.
- Fixed boolean type coercion in fetch and executor modules by wrapping truncation flags with Boolean() cast.
- Removed maxBytes property from truncation metadata to simplify output metadata structure.
- Normalized optional result properties with explicit fallbacks in output-meta module.
- Updated test expectations to reflect undefined truncation properties instead of false/null values.
- Moved artifact management from ToolSession to SessionManager for centralized lifecycle control and caching.
- Replaced getArtifactManager() with allocateOutputArtifact() async method in ToolSession interface for simplified artifact allocation.
- Updated bash, fetch, python, and ssh tools to call session.allocateOutputArtifact() directly with optional chaining fallback.
- Fixed Lobsters scraper to handle user fields as strings instead of nested objects in API responses.
- Added GitLab Duo provider with support for Claude, GPT-5, and Duo Chat models via GitLab AI Gateway.
- Added OAuth authentication for GitLab Duo with automatic token refresh, PKCE security, and 25-minute token caching.
- Added 16 new GitLab Duo models including Claude Opus/Sonnet/Haiku and GPT-5 variants with reasoning and multimodal support.
- Added `isOAuth` option to Anthropic provider for OAuth bearer token authentication mode.
- Exported `streamGitLabDuo`, `getGitLabDuoModels`, and `clearGitLabDuoDirectAccessCache` functions for GitLab Duo integration.
- Consolidated truncation and output utilities from tools/truncate.ts and tools/output-utils.ts into session/streaming-output.ts with improved UTF-8 boundary handling.
- Renamed formatSize() to formatBytes() across codebase for consistency and clarity in byte-level formatting.
- Refactored OutputSink to use windowed byte truncation instead of full-buffer encoding, improving memory efficiency on large outputs.
- Migrated from Buffer to Uint8Array in web scrapers for better cross-platform compatibility and native browser support.
- Added getArtifactManager() lazy-initialization method to ToolSession for deferred artifact manager instantiation.
- Simplified API surface with wildcard exports from tools and session modules, reducing import complexity.
