- Renamed the `find` and `search` tools to `glob` and `grep` respectively across the codebase to improve command clarity.
- Implemented full-stack support for the renamed tools, including CLI arguments, system prompts, SDK exports, and tool registration.
- Added automated migration logic in `settings` to transform legacy `find` and `search` configuration keys to their new equivalents.
- Updated the `collab-web` renderer registry to ensure backwards compatibility with legacy tool outputs.
- Added tree-sitter markdown support to resolve headings into full sections in `pi-ast`.
- Enabled block operations (`SWAP.BLK`, `DEL.BLK`, `INS.BLK.POST`) on markdown headings so they encompass the entire section, including nested deeper headings.
- Updated system prompt to guide agents in using structured markdown heading edits for plans.
- Fixed `plan-mode-guard` to correctly resolve local protocol options for subagents.
- Removed deprecated eval prelude helpers `append`, `tree`, `diff`, `sort`, `uniq`, and `counter` from all supported runtimes.
- Cleaned up runtime implementations, protocol definitions, and UI rendering logic associated with the removed helpers.
- Updated project documentation, prompts, and test suites to reflect the reduced helper API surface.
- Recorded functional changes in the package changelog.
- Refactored `todo` tool to accept a single operation object instead of an `ops` array.
- Implemented parameter normalization to maintain backward compatibility with legacy array-based tool calls.
- Updated tool instructions, documentation, and UI rendering components to reflect the new interface.
- Added compatibility tests to verify rendering and execution for both legacy and current operation formats.
The eval agent() helper used `agent_type`/`return_handle` (snake_case) in
Python/Ruby/Julia and `agentType`/`returnHandle` (camelCase) in JS, forcing
the prelude docs to repeat every option twice ("JS same but camelcased").
Both are now single lowercase words identical across all four runtimes, and
`agent` matches the `task` tool's existing agent-selection parameter.
- Renamed across py/js/rb/jl preludes (signatures, forwarding, docstrings).
- Renamed the `__agent__` bridge wire protocol + `EvalAgentArgs` (`agentType`
→ `agent`, `returnHandle` → `handle`) so no prelude-side remap is needed.
- Updated prompt docs (workflow-notice.md, tools/eval.md), repo docs
(docs/tools/eval.md, docs/python-repl.md), and all bridge/prelude tests.
- CHANGELOG: Breaking Changes entry under [Unreleased].
- Removed the `readHashLines` setting to consolidate hashline display logic.
- Simplified `resolveFileDisplayMode` to derive hashline visibility solely from the active edit mode.
- Added automatic cleanup of the `readHashLines` key from existing configuration files.
- Implemented `waitForSelector` and `waitForNavigation` methods in the browser tool API.
- Introduced per-operation fail-fast budget management with dynamic timeout clamping.
- Added validation for selector engines to reject unsupported Playwright-only platform features.
- Standardized error handling to provide descriptive, named timeouts for stalled browser operations.
- Promoted `write` and `find` tools to `essential` status to ensure they are always available regardless of discovery mode.
- Updated `DEFAULT_ESSENTIAL_TOOL_NAMES` to include these tools by default.
- Updated documentation and tests to reflect the change in default essential tool availability.
Fixes#3165
- Implemented `tab.ariaSnapshot()` to capture and represent page structures as ARIA-tree YAML.
- Introduced `tab.ref()` and ref-based selector parsing to enable precise element interaction via unique ARIA identifiers.
- Integrated automated script bundling for cross-environment evaluation of ARIA snapshot logic.
- Updated browser action methods to resolve and target elements using ARIA-ref handles.
- Implement JSON repair and strict argument validation to sanitize raw payloads and redact sensitive information from agent event logs.
- Add automatic authentication fallback for benchmark model resolution to ensure consistent performance testing across providers.
- Refactor search tool API parameters by replacing `i` with a case-sensitive `case` boolean flag for clarity.
- Update session history formatting to ensure empty objects are consistently serialized as `{}` instead of empty strings.
- Removed the customizable `timeout` parameter from the tool schema and implementation.
- Fixed the timeout duration to 5 seconds to simplify tool usage.
- Updated documentation and error messages to advise narrowing search patterns instead of adjusting timeouts.
- Switch all UI components and tests from sharp box corners (`boxSharp`) to rounded ones (`boxRound`).
- Update `Theme` to re-export sharp junction symbols (tees and cross) under `boxRound` to ensure consistent divider rendering in rounded boxes.
- Remove outdated architectural notes regarding forced tool-choice queues in documentation.
- Standardized elision markers across all tool outputs and filters to use cohesive `[...N [type] elided...]`, `[...Nln elided...]`, and `[...xB elided...]` syntax.
- Updated documentation, prompts, and test expectations to reflect the unified elision format.
- Improved transcript viewer robustness by preventing content aliasing through path-inclusive signature hashing.
- Added logic to clear stale transcript content when associated session files are deleted, accompanied by verifying test cases.
- Centralized decoding of tmux's `extended-keys` control sequences (`csi-u` and `xterm` formats) into a shared utility.
- Updated the multi-line editor and single-line input to use this decoder, preventing escape tails (e.g., `[27;5;106~`) from leaking into the text buffer.
- Added parity to the single-line input by explicitly stripping any remaining control characters after decoding to ensure data integrity.
- Removed the `fflate` dependency in favor of using `node:zlib` for ZIP operations.
- Updated documentation and internal code comments to reflect the transition to native `node:zlib` DEFLATE support.
- Centralized archive operations into a new `utils/zip.ts` module with unified support for ZIP, tar, and tar.gz formats.
- Optimized ZIP reading using lazy, ranged central-directory access and implemented ZIP64 support for large files.
- Hardened archive extraction with directory traversal protection and configured memory limits for loading and extraction.
- Refactored tool-specific logic to utilize the new centralized utility and deleted the redundant `archive-reader.ts`.
- Derived the `SEARCH_PROVIDER_ORDER`, `SEARCH_PROVIDER_PREFERENCES`, and `SEARCH_PROVIDER_LABELS` metadata dynamically from a single `SEARCH_PROVIDER_OPTIONS` source of truth.
- Reprioritized the default search provider sequence, shifting higher-order choices like Perplexity, Gemini, and Anthropic ahead of Tavily and Brave.
- Updated documentation to reflect the new search provider evaluation order.
- Added PDF member read syntax (`doc.pdf:<member>`) and trailing-colon listing.
- Added asset-read handling to serve extracted PDF images as inline image content.
- Added PDF image extraction caching keyed by size and mtime with marker files for retries.
- Added basename validation that rejects unknown/traversal-like PDF members and shows available names.
- Removed render_mermaid from tool discovery, task definitions, and registries.
- Removed renderMermaid setting and prompt/docs references tied to the deleted tool.
- Added maxWidth and theme color options to Mermaid ASCII resolution in markdown flow.
- Re-rendered Mermaid ASCII in both directions and clipped output to available width.
Register tree-sitter-elisp in the shared AST language registry so
.el files infer the emacs-lisp grammar across blockRangeAt,
summarizeCode, astGrep/astEdit, and native aliases.
This fixes edit-tool block operations on top-level Emacs Lisp forms
instead of returning unsupported-language block errors.
- Add canonical emacs-lisp aliases and .el extension inference.
- Teach summaries to fold Lisp forms without grouping arbitrary lists.
- Map .el rendering and highlighting aliases through coding-agent/native.
- Cover defun, ERT, use-package, with-eval-after-load, pcase,
summary, astMatch, astEdit, and edit-tool insertion paths.
- Document the language and update package changelogs.
- Renamed line and block patch op verbs to XCHG, DEL, and INS in parsing and formatting.
- Updated grammar and tokenizer to support XCHG.BLK, DEL.BLK, and INS.PRE/POST/HEAD/TAIL forms.
- Updated diagnostics, docs, prompts, tests, and changelog to use XCHG/DEL/INS-based operators.
- Expanded session-stats parsing to normalize legacy op aliases to compact IDs.
- Updated JS eval helper option parsing to accept positional optional args or a trailing plain-object options argument, while rejecting mixed or invalid forms.
- Updated `read` to route non-`local://` URI paths through the `read` tool with line selectors so offset/limit slicing works for artifact-style resources.
- Expanded JS executor tests for positional reads, nullable slot skipping, and delegated URI read slicing.
- Updated the resize fast-path repaint to remove the terminal full-screen clear and instead overwrite the viewport in place at home, rewriting each row via `#lineRewriteSequence`.
- Passed the viewport width into `#emitResizeViewport` so each row self-clears only its tail with CSI K while resize drag remains active.
- Added coverage in `resize-viewport-defer.test.ts` confirming drag-time writes omit ED2/ED3 clears and that ED3 is emitted when the resize settles.
- Re-polled steering at the loop yield boundary and included it in the pre-stop pending batch so late messages are processed immediately.
- Added session-side draining for stranded queued messages, scheduling an auto-continue when a prompt settles and follow-ups or steers remain.
- Added a regression test for late steering injection at yield and updated mid-turn collab prompt handling to keep steering messages in the pending display queue until consumed.
- Removed the `note` operation from `TodoOp` validation and the `text` field from todo operation payloads.
- Deleted `TodoItem` note storage and stripped note-aware logic from execution, markdown round-trip helpers, summaries, and rendering.
- Updated todo docs and prompt schema text to remove `note` usage and keep the public operation set aligned.
- Updated block resolution to detect structural-closing-line anchors and convert unresolvable `insert after block` edits into plain `insert after` inserts while emitting a dedicated warning.
- Propagated these resolver warnings through `PatchSection` and `Patcher` results so parse and application callers receive them.
- Added tests covering the closer-anchor fallback and confirming non-closer unresolved block anchors still throw.
- Extended `AgentTool.concurrency` to accept per-call resolver functions and resolved concurrency mode from each tool call, falling back to exclusive on resolver errors.
- Updated BashTool to schedule non-PTY calls as shared and PTY calls as exclusive so non-interactive bash calls can run in parallel within one message.
- Tracked in-use persistent shell sessions in the bash executor and routed overlapping calls on the same session key to isolated one-shot shells while preserving owner session availability.
A subagent's send await:true to Main during a blocking task spawn was a structural deadlock: deliverIrcMessage queues mid-turn messages as step-boundary asides, but Main's next boundary requires the sender's own batch to finish, so the sender always burned the full irc.timeoutMs. Awaited sends now pass expectsReply through IrcBus.send; a mid-turn recipient with async.enabled off generates an ephemeral no-tools reply via runEphemeralTurn, records an irc:autoreply aside in its own history, and delivers it back over the bus with replyTo threading so the sender's waiter resolves.
- Updated TaskTool to skip `session.asyncJobManager` and run `task` spawns inline whenever `async.enabled` is false.
- Set `async.enabled` default to `true` and updated task prompts/settings text to reflect async-versus-sync behavior.
- Adjusted task batching tests to cover both async background execution and synchronous batched execution when async is disabled.
Updated the hashline edit prompt and internal edit docs to make insert-after-block anchors opener-only, and added regression coverage for closing-delimiter anchors and prompt guidance.\n\nFixes #2292
- 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.
- Removed `resume` from task params and schema, requiring agent and assignment inputs.
- Dropped resume continuation paths in task execution and call rendering, always spawning a new agent.
- Removed the `irc.enabled` setting and computed IRC availability by task-depth rules.
- Updated task follow-up guidance to use IRC messaging/history links instead of `task(resume:)`.
- Added a shared `formatAnchoredContext` helper and switched mismatch formatting to use it.
- Extended unresolved block-edit errors to append nearby numbered context with `*`-marked anchor lines.
- Updated unit and integration tests and docs to reflect the new unresolved-block preview behavior.
The task tool now takes a single { agent, assignment, description, ... } and always runs the subagent in the background — the batch tasks[] array and shared context parameter are gone. Fan-out is parallel task calls; shared background flows through a '/Users/can/.omp/agent/sessions/-Projects-.tree-pi-commit/2026-06-10T15-36-32-782Z_019eb22d-970e-7000-8964-72c98becf3e8/local' file referenced in each assignment.\n\nIntroduces a persistent subagent lifecycle: finished subagents stay live as idle, the lifecycle manager parks them to disk after task.agentIdleTtlMs (default 7 minutes; 0 keeps them live until exit), and they revive automatically when prompted from the Agent Hub, messaged on IRC, or resumed via task. New task(resume: "<id>") revives an idle or parked subagent and runs a follow-up assignment in its existing session.\n\nAdds soft request budgets (explore/quick_task 40, others 90, configurable via task.softRequestBudget, 0 disables): crossing the budget injects a one-time wrap-up steer into the child; crossing 1.5× aborts the run gracefully. Cancelled/aborted subagent salvage replaces the old (no output) with the child's last activity snippet plus request/token stats; SingleResult tracks a per-child requests counter (assistant message_end events) used to sort agent lists in runtime-ascending order in both the live progress view (finished agents above pending/running) and the finalized result view, so rows no longer reshuffle on finalize. Adds a task gallery fixture variant for the resume path (renderer key separated from fixture key).\n\nAll task tests are reshaped around the single-call contract; tests for the discarded shared-context flow are removed, and new task-guards/task-resume/task-schema tests pin the new contract surface.
A job poll whose watched jobs are all still running and nothing was cancelled is pure 'still waiting' noise once a newer block exists. ToolExecutionComponent now detects isWaitingPollDetails on the result, leaves the block displaceable, and keeps its rows out of scrollback. EventController tracks the most recent displaceable poll and resolves it (sealing the block) on every event that proves another tool now owns the live region: a new tool call/result, a streaming arg start, an end-of-turn signal, or another job result that itself isn't displaceable. UiHelpers' transcript rebuild applies the same rule. Docs and the new job-poll-displacement test pin the behavior.
Registers a HistoryProtocolHandler with the internal URL router: history:// lists every registered agent (id, status, kind, last activity) and history://<agentId> renders a concise markdown transcript (tool calls collapsed to one line each, thinking elided). Live refs render from the in-memory message array; parked refs load read-only from the JSONL session file via loadSessionMessagesReadOnly (no writer, no lock). System prompt + read tool prompt + docs/tools/read.md learn the new scheme.
