- 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 helper to strip model-facing `<task-result>` wrappers from job result text.
- Updated the job tool renderer to preview the unwrapped `<output>/<preview>` body instead of the envelope markup.
- Documented the settled-task preview fix in the coding-agent changelog.
- 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.
- Added a new @oh-my-pi/snapcompact package and redirected compaction call sites to it.
- Added provider-aware snapcompact shape resolution for model-specific mixed-frame behavior.
- Added optional image detail support by extending ImageContent and passing hints through OpenAI providers.
- Added native snapcompact render options, including 5x8/8x8 font loading and palette/geometry controls.
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.
Tracks successful file reads per resolved base path (selector stripped) for the session; once a path has been whole-file-read three times, every subsequent read for that path appends a one-line nudge suggesting narrower line-range re-reads or the context echoed in edit results. Non-file sources (URLs, internal resources, directories, archives, SQLite, images) are never counted.
Adds enforceInlineByteCap() in streaming-output and applies it to bash and browser tool results: oversized outputs are elided head/tail with an artifact:// footer pointing at the full capture, closing paths that previously let 100KB+ inline results past the minimizer. Defense at the tool-result boundary (no-op for already-bounded output).
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.
Adds compaction.strategy: "snapcompact" to the schema and the AgentSession routing: when chosen, both manual /compact (without custom instructions) and auto compaction call snapcompactCompact() to archive history as PNG frames instead of an LLM summary. Falls back to context-full with a visible warning notice when the current model is text-only or when /compact gets custom instructions. CustomTool and shared-event payloads carry the new action through. \n\nAlso wires the per-turn supersede pass: #pruneSupersededReads() runs every turn before threshold gating (cache-aware: only fires when the post-candidate suffix is small or the prompt cache is cold), prunes older read results superseded by a newer read of the same file, rewrites the session, and accounts the saved tokens in the next compaction decision. Gated by compaction.supersedeReads (default on).\n\nsession/messages.ts now delegates the core role conversion to agent-core's convertMessageToLlm so snapcompact image blocks flow through the LLM-context conversion path.
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.
The session-observer overlay is gone. The Agent Hub (ctrl+s, alt+a, or double-tap left arrow on an empty editor) presents one overlay with two views: a live registry table (status, unread irc count, current task, last activity; j/k to navigate, r to revive, x to abort/release) and per-agent chat (transcript + input line) — submitting revives a parked agent and steers it via the normal prompt path. Main is the ambient chat and stays out of the table.\n\nrenderInitialMessages no longer takes a prebuilt context: every redraw now reaches for AgentSession.buildTranscriptSessionContext() (full-history transcript with each compaction emitted inline at the point it fired, snapcompact frames re-attached on rebuild). UiHelpers drops the deferred-compaction render and the IRC autoreply branch that the new mailbox bus deprecated. CompactionSummaryMessage renders as a slim divider (── 📷 compacted · ctrl+o ──), expanding to the summary + snapcompact frame count. session-manager.buildSessionContext gains a { transcript: true } mode; an exported buildSessionContextFromFile() reads a session file without taking the writer lock so the hub chat view can tail any agent (parked or live). Theme picks up icon.camera + tool.irc symbol entries.
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().
- 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
The bundled title-system.md was reworded on main (30959d3ad) after this
branch was cut, so the rebased default-prompt test asserted stale wording.
Anchor on the stable set_title instruction instead.
Addresses review feedback on #2201.
- add discovery of `TITLE_SYSTEM.md` and pass it through interactive startup context
- route custom title prompts to online and local tiny title generators via protocol
- update session-title docs and changelog with override behavior
- add tests for prompt discovery, forwarding, and fallback to bundled title prompts
The schema default for tools.approvalMode is already "yolo", so checking the
resolved setting alone disabled the ACP permission gate for every
default-config session (17 existing tests in
agent-session-acp-permission.test.ts fail). The skip now requires an
explicitly configured approval mode — the --yolo/--auto-approve runtime
override or a user-set tools.approvalMode — via the new
Settings.isConfigured(), keeping default ACP sessions gated.
Addresses review feedback on #2097.
