- 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.
