Fix all Windows-specific test failures caused by path handling problems
and EBUSY errors from unclosed SQLite database handles.
Root causes fixed:
1. POSIX path assumptions: replaced hard-coded file:///tmp, /repo, etc.
with pathToFileURL/path.resolve/path.join computed expectations
2. shortenPath() now normalizes backslashes to forward slashes after ~
and respects home directory boundaries
3. HistoryStorage.resetInstance() leaked its Database — added #close()
that finalizes all prepared statements and closes the DB
4. AgentStorage gained the same resetInstance()/#close() pattern
5. SqliteAuthCredentialStore.close() leaked one-off prepared statements
from inline this.#db.prepare() calls — wrapped each in try/finally
6. model-cache.ts used a process-global DB even for custom dbPath —
now opens/closes per-call via withModelCacheDb
7. createAgentSession leaked AuthStorage on construction failure —
added ownsAuthStorage cleanup in catch block
8. MnemopiBackend.removeDbFiles() now truly best-effort (catches errors)
9. TempDir retry window expanded from 4x10ms to 40x25ms
10. TempDir prefix convention: non-@ prefixes created dirs relative to
cwd instead of os.tmpdir() — all test temp dirs now use @ prefix
11. Shell-escaped interpolated paths in bash tool tests
12. git core.autocrlf false in autoresearch test repo init
All 522 previously-failing Windows tests now pass.
- Running job labels now shimmer in the TUI to provide a dynamic visual indicator of activity.
- Adjusted cache key to account for shimmer animation, ensuring it updates at 30fps instead of the 12.5fps spinner cadence.
- Suppressed job ID display when the job label is identical to its ID, avoiding redundant information.
urlHyperlinkAlways now short-circuits to plain text when the user has explicitly opted out via tui.hyperlinks=off, while still bypassing capability auto-detection for auto mode.
MCP OAuth fallback prompts now emit an auth-safe terminal hyperlink even when auto-detection disables normal URL hyperlinks, matching the provider login behavior while preserving the raw copy URL.\n\nFixes #2196
- Trimmed first-changed-line suffixes from edit path display and passed the line as a hyperlink target.
- Added middle-eliding path truncation for edit and rename file labels.
- Simplified diff-stat output to show only added/removed counts in a compact bracketed form.
- Added image-reference rendering to make `[Image #N]` placeholders clickable in chat.
- Added MIME-aware image blob materialization with extensioned sidecar paths.
- Added clickable path, line, and URL hyperlinks for read, search, and fetch outputs.
- Hardened OSC8 hyperlink emission with URI validation and control-byte/idempotency checks.
