Narrow acronym restoration so plain all-caps English words such as FIX
and WORK do not get restored when the model naturally capitalizes the
first title word. Restorable all-caps source tokens now need a stronger
acronym signal: a common technical acronym allowlist, digits, or a
consonant-only shape.
This keeps CNPG, ETL, JWT, SQL, and API restoration while preserving the
anti-shout behavior for single emphatic words.
Fixes#4220
- Added an enhanced speech pipeline that utilizes small models to rewrite text for natural language synthesis.
- Implemented `SpeechEnhancer` and `BlockAccumulator` to manage fence-aware text streaming and paragraph splitting.
- Configured a new `speech.enhanced` setting to toggle between mechanical and enhanced vocalization modes.
- Resolved `EPIPE` rejections during speech playback by ensuring stream flushes and suppressing stop-related errors.
reconcileTitleCasing now maps ALL-CAPS source tokens (CNPG, API, ETL,
JWT) into an acronyms table and restores them when the model produces a
plain title-cased artifact (Cnpg). Restoration is disabled when the
source is shouty (>=2 consecutive multi-letter ALL-CAPS tokens like
"FIX the BUG NOW" or "ALL ERROR HANDLING"), and lowercase model output
is left alone so isolated single-word emphasis (WORK -> work) is never
re-shouted.
The three title system prompts (title-system.md, title-system-marker.md,
tiny-title-system.md) also gained an explicit instruction to preserve
ALL-CAPS acronyms verbatim, so a competent model short-circuits via the
verbatim set before post-processing kicks in.
Fixes#4220
- Added `SpeakableStream` to strip markdown noise, silence code blocks and tables, normalize links and paths, and emit sentence/clause segments.
- Reworked `Vocalizer` to segment assistant deltas in the parent process, lazily open TTS streams, idle-flush partial thoughts, and chain playback sessions.
- Added gapless streaming playback with ffmpeg/sox backends, ducking-aware pacing, fallback file playback, and immediate stop handling.
- Added IPC `sendAndFlush` support and used it in the TTS worker so audio chunks drain before blocking ONNX inference resumes.
- Added speakable-stream coverage for markdown filtering, segmentation latency, idle flushing, and forced long-segment splits.
- Replaced `grep`, `glob`, and `ast_grep` `paths` inputs with optional single `path` strings while preserving default workspace-root behavior.
- Added shared `toPathList` normalization for legacy arrays and JSON-encoded arrays across tool execution and TUI renderers.
- Updated prompts, fixtures, shims, transcript summaries, and tests to send and display the new `path` argument.
- Updated collab-web search tool cards to read `path` while falling back to legacy `paths` for historical transcripts.
- Recorded the contiguous coding-agent changelog run for the tool-path breaking change and adjacent TTS entries.
- Persist signed message blocks (`text`, `thinking`, `toolCall`) and encrypted reasoning payloads verbatim during session serialization instead of clearing or truncating them.
- Preserve signature keys instead of replacing them with empty strings when they exceed persistence size limits.
- Exempt official first-party OpenAI and Anthropic API endpoints from the leaked-thinking stream healing wrapper to prevent misfires on legitimate visible text fences.
- Excluded signed `thinking` blocks and `redactedThinking` blobs from size-based persistence truncation.
- Preserved signature-bound reasoning verbatim to prevent provider validation failures on session replay.
- Maintained normal truncation behavior for unsigned thinking and standard text blocks.
The branch-scan rehydrator only rebuilt `#lastCompletedRewind` and wiped
`#checkpointState` unconditionally at entry — so a branch whose latest
checkpoint had not yet been rewound came back with neither an active
checkpoint nor completed-rewind guidance. Reloading such a session (or
`switchSession()` on the same file) made the next `rewind` fail with
"No active checkpoint" even though the checkpoint entry was still the
branch leaf.
Extended the walker to also track the last unresolved checkpoint entry
and, when the branch ends without a rewind-report, seed `#checkpointState`
from that entry (id, `details.startedAt`) so `rewind` can complete
normally. Renamed the method to `#rehydrateCheckpointRewindState` to
reflect the widened responsibility and added a regression test that
truncates the branch to the checkpoint entry, resumes into a fresh
`AgentSession`, and calls `rewind` end-to-end.
Fixes#4187
- Refactored `renderSubagentHudLines` to use `renderTreeList` with dim connectors and a single-space indentation shift.
- Adjusted budget limits to account for the new layout wrapping and tree-list padding.
Cleared checkpoint rewind runtime state when starting new sessions or creating branch sessions so stale completed-rewind guidance cannot leak into unrelated contexts.
Added regression coverage for /new and branch reset paths.
Fixes#4187
Reconstructed the completed rewind marker from the active branch so resumed sessions keep repeat-rewind recovery guidance.
Covered resume rehydration with the checkpoint rewind branch regression test.
Fixes#4187
llama-server in router/preset mode advertises each preset via /v1/models,
but meta.n_ctx / n_ctx_train are only merged in after the preset's child
instance loads. The router-level /props returns a dummy n_ctx: 0. As a
result every unloaded preset fell through to DISCOVERY_DEFAULT_CONTEXT_WINDOW
(128000), and picking a preset from /model kept surfacing 128k in the
status bar regardless of the configured --ctx-size — a restart didn't
help because discovery repopulated the cache from the same broken chain.
Parse each entry's status.args (rendered CLI vector) for --ctx-size or
-c, and fall back to ctx-size = N in status.preset (INI). Positive values
slot between runtimeContextWindow and serverMetadata in the resolution
chain so a running child's live n_ctx still wins; --ctx-size 0 ("loaded
from model") is correctly skipped so we don't publish 0.
The same fallback wires through discoverLlamaCppModelRuntimeMetadata so
the refresh triggered by /model uses the configured window even before
the child spawns.
Fixes#4190
Reconstructed the completed rewind marker from the active branch so resumed sessions keep repeat-rewind recovery guidance.
Covered resume rehydration with the checkpoint rewind branch regression test.
Fixes#4187
- Refactored the mid-run todo nudge to trigger on mutating tools (bash, eval, edit, write, ast_edit) rather than overall tool turns.
- Simplified the nudge prompt template to a concise, non-escalating reminder.
- Migrated nudge messages from "developer" role with public events to a hidden "custom" role that is excluded from the TUI and transcript.
- Introduced a separate per-cycle reminder cap of 2 to decouple mid-run hints from the user-visible stop-time escalation budget.
- Avoided triggering the todo nudge when read-only exploration tools (e.g. grep, read, glob, lsp) or errored results are returned.
Wrapped retained rewind reports with completion guidance so the post-rewind turn knows the checkpoint is closed.
Added repeat-rewind recovery errors and regression coverage for both the retained context and no-active-checkpoint path.

- Introduces `sanitizeErrorLine` to collapse newlines, replace tabs, and shorten absolute paths.
- Truncates remote error and notice text to the available terminal width to prevent layout breaking.
- Corrects a potential runtime exception in status-line by safely accessing JSON stringified length.
- Introduced the `allowCreateOverwrite` option to permit `op: "create"` to replace existing files.
- Enabled `allowCreateOverwrite` specifically for the JSON-based `patch` edit mode to support full-file restructures.
- Maintained the strict non-overwriting behavior for Codex `apply_patch` envelope-based file additions.
- Configured patch diff previews to respect the configured overwrite permission during streaming.
- Fixed an issue where stopping a multi-file patch application early skipped flushing the active LSP writethrough batch.
- Introduced the `task.softRequestBudgetNotice` boolean setting to opt into budget steering notices.
- Disabled the wrap-up steering notice by default when a subagent crosses its soft request budget.

- Prevent applying incorrect preview edits when live file contents drift to a colliding state.
- Fixed grep and ast-grep tools rejecting fuzzy url-shaped paths like schemeless www. or collapsed-scheme spellings.
- Applied the extra-CA wrapper to the model registry default fetch to respect the NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS environment variable.
- Moved isReadableUrlPath utility to path-utils to share recognition logic between reading and searching pipelines.
- Implemented a fallback that checks if a directory matching a fuzzy URL path exists locally before resolving it as an external URL.
- Added explicit errors for unsupported URL schemes to replace misleading local-path errors.

- Short-circuits the connection welcome timeout upon receiving a pre-welcome error frame.
- Surfaces exact protocol mismatch and hello rejection reasons directly to the joining guest interface.
- Ensures `CollabGuestLink` and `GuestClient` transition immediately to ended/failed states with host error details.
Added AnthropicOptions.fallbacks + wire types + response parsing gated on the opt-in — server-side fallback stays fully inert on every request that does not set the option.
Coding-agent surfaces the feature via providers.anthropic.serverSideFallback (default off). When enabled, Fable/Mythos requests inject fallbacks: [{ model: claude-opus-4-8 }]; caller-supplied fallbacks always win.
transformMessages centrally strips persisted fallback blocks on cross-provider hops and non-official Anthropic replays so a stored fallback turn never wedges downstream converters. Retry resets restore output.model to the requested id.
Fixes#4177
- Extracted decodeStreamedToolArgs into tool-args-reveal.ts and used it from both the live event path and transcript rebuilds, so mid-write theme/settings/focus replays no longer show stale streamed write/edit/eval content.
- Fixed the smoothing-off live path returning stale provider-parsed args.
- Documented the mandatory shared decode in the AGENTS.md streaming-preview hazard note; added changelog entries for this batch.
- CollabGuestLink now handles ui-request/ui-request-end frames via the existing hook selector/editor dialogs and round-trips ui-response; cancellation, resync replay, and read-only peers are handled.
- Added GIT_NETWORK_TIMEOUT_MS (30 min) for clone/fetch with an overridable timeoutMs option; local plumbing keeps the 5-minute cap.
- Migrated fetch() from a positional AbortSignal to an options object.
- Bumped the dynamic-model cache namespace rich-v1 -> rich-v2 in the catalog manager and the coding-agent configured-discovery callsite so the #3717 reseller-suffix mappers reach users with a warm 24h cache.
