Shared background now 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 prompt instead of a context string forwarded into the subagent's system prompt. The JS and Python preludes drop the context kwarg from agent(), the subagent system prompt drops the {{#if context}} block and the conversation-context file pointer, and runEvalAgent no longer writes a per-call conversation context file. AgentSession sheds the now-unused formatCompactContext() helper that supplied the file's body, and ToolSession.getCompactContext is removed alongside it.
Replaces the blocking auto-reply IRC turn with a process-global IrcBus and a four-op tool (send/wait/inbox/list). send is fire-and-forget with per-recipient delivery receipts (injected/woken/revived/failed); replies become real turns by the recipient, observed via wait (or the send await:true sugar). Bounded per-agent mailboxes (cap 100) drop oldest on overflow; AgentSession.deliverIrcMessage folds an in-flight delivery in as a non-interrupting aside at the next step boundary, or starts a real wake turn when idle. AgentRegistry/lifecycle handle the idle→woken / parked→revived transitions, so messaging a non-running peer brings it back. Adds a dedicated TUI renderer (directional headers, delivery-outcome coloring, quoted bodies, per-recipient receipt trees, status-badged peer lists with unread counts). irc.timeoutMs is now the default timeout for wait / send await:true. AgentSession sheds the agentRegistry config field, the dedupeIrcReply → dedupeEphemeralReply rename (now used by /btw and /omfg), and the background-channel exchange queue / forwardIrcRelayToMain plumbing the auto-reply model needed.
Introduces AgentLifecycleManager: when the task executor adopts a finished subagent the manager arms a TTL timer on idle, parks the agent on expiry (disposes the live session, keeps the AgentRef + sessionFile), and revives it on demand via an injected reviver. Only this manager flips parked ↔ idle. AgentRegistry now annotates session: AgentRef["session"] as null exactly when parked/aborted, and sdk.ts wires the lifecycle dispose into main-session teardown, derives agentKind once, and gates ref unregistration on parking so a parked agent stays addressable (history://, revive).
Removes isBackgroundJobSupportEnabled and JobTool.createIf; the tool is now registered unconditionally via `new JobTool(s)`. `async.enabled` now gates async bash commands only — the task tool runs asynchronously regardless. Deletes the async/support module and its barrel re-export.
Interrupting mid-tool execution (e.g. Enter with a pending steer) drained the steering queue into the dying run — it landed in history without a response and the post-abort resume saw an empty queue, so the agent stopped instead of continuing. Steering/follow-up/aside queue polls in runLoopBody and the post-tool-call check in executeToolCalls are now skipped once the run's abort signal fires, leaving the queue intact for Agent.continue().
Adds pruneSupersededToolResults() and the opt-in PruneConfig.supersedeKey hook: when a tool call shares a key with a newer one (e.g. a re-read of the same file), the older result is pruned even inside the protectTokens window and replaced with a [Superseded by a newer read of this file] placeholder. Adds readToolSupersedeKey() and the shared splitReadSelector() implementing the read-tool path/selector grammar (including the .. range alias and L-prefix forms) so selector-free reads supersede range reads of the same file and URL-scheme paths are exempt. Strips selectors before tracking in <read-files> compaction lists, so reads dedupe to the base path and match write/edit paths when splitting read-only vs modified lists (selector-polluted lists from earlier compactions self-heal on the next pass). Gated by the new compaction.supersedeReads setting (default on).
- Added pre-TUI startup input capture that queued non-empty Enter submissions.
- Replayed queued startup submissions after initialization and injected startup editor text into InteractiveMode.
- Handled startup Ctrl+C to clear typed text and Ctrl+D to exit, with detach restoring terminal state.
- Extended TUI Editor `onSubmit` to accept `void | Promise<void>` for async handlers.
- Fixed npm CLI bundling by invoking `generate-client-bundle.ts --generate` before build and `--reset` after.
- Added `PI_BUNDLED` handling in `packages/stats/src/server.ts` and switched bundled distributions to embedded assets.
- Decoded embedded archives via `decodeEmbeddedClientArchive` and treated legacy placeholder content as missing.
- Handled missing dashboard source/build directories as ENOENT during mtime scans to avoid startup crashes.
- Extended `--smoke-test` to start the stats server and validate dashboard HTML contains expected asset markers.
- Added a stable progress-ordering helper that moved pending and running agents below completed and failed ones.
- Applied this ordering to top-level and nested live task-progress rendering so finished entries render first.
- Added a renderer test and changelog note covering the finished-before-unfinished progress ordering.
Propagated explicit thinking-off state through the agent loop so provider requests receive disableReasoning instead of an undefined effort. Added Ollama and agent-session regressions for the :off path.\n\nFixes #2239
