Reused output notice stripping for task live progress and rendered recent subagent output through the viewport-sized preview budget.
Added regression coverage for fixed six-line capping and raw bash footer leakage.
Fixes#4162
- Renamed the `find` and `search` tools to `glob` and `grep` respectively across the codebase to improve command clarity.
- Implemented full-stack support for the renamed tools, including CLI arguments, system prompts, SDK exports, and tool registration.
- Added automated migration logic in `settings` to transform legacy `find` and `search` configuration keys to their new equivalents.
- Updated the `collab-web` renderer registry to ensure backwards compatibility with legacy tool outputs.
- Clamped tool output preview height to the available viewport rows to stop redundant banner commits.
- Added `outputBlockContentWidth` helper to accurately measure visual lines for scrollback budget calculations.
- Updated `bash` and `eval-render` output wrapping to account for block padding and inner content width.
- Added regression test confirming streaming tool output maintains a stable line count without duplicating headers.
- Synchronize tool arguments with the component state upon receipt of `tool_execution_start` to ensure visual consistency when final update events are missed.
- Terminate active argument reveal streams to prevent late ticks from overwriting valid, fully-materialized tool arguments with stale partial data.
- Add test coverage to verify that tool UI components render finalized arguments even in the absence of intermediate streaming updates.
- Standardized elision markers across all tool outputs and filters to use cohesive `[...N [type] elided...]`, `[...Nln elided...]`, and `[...xB elided...]` syntax.
- Updated documentation, prompts, and test expectations to reflect the unified elision format.
- Improved transcript viewer robustness by preventing content aliasing through path-inclusive signature hashing.
- Added logic to clear stale transcript content when associated session files are deleted, accompanied by verifying test cases.
- Added explicit ArkType schema descriptions across all coding agent tool definitions.
- Updated schema definitions in autoresearch and commit tools with descriptive wrappers.
- Documented tool schema enhancements in the packages/coding-agent CHANGELOG.
- Migrated all wire protocol, schema definitions, and tools validation from Zod to ArkType across multiple packages.
- Updated extension runtimes, custom tools loader, and TypeBox compatibility shim to expose and use ArkType instances.
- Added a comprehensive ArkType migration guide, validation parity tests, and helper utilities.
- Removed redundant PDF asset routing and parsing implementations from the read tool.
- Added session-domain modules and exports for session-entries, context, listing, loader, and migrations.
- Changed persistence to async append writes plus writeTextAtomic, removing sync line APIs.
- Added compaction-aware session context rebuild with dangling tool-call cleanup.
- Added resumable session resolution with status inference, id/stem/suffix matching, and backup recovery.
- Added `ToolRenderer.provisionalPendingPreview` in `renderers.ts` and consulted it from `ToolExecutionComponent.isTranscriptBlockCommitStable`, replacing the 15.11.6 blanket gate that marked every collapsed pending preview commit-unstable.
- Marked only the tail-window previews the result render re-anchors as provisional: the edit streamed-diff tail (`edit/renderer.ts`), bash/ssh command caps (`createShellRenderer`, `sshToolRenderer`), and eval cells with interleaved outputs (`evalToolRenderer`).
- Restored mid-stream scrollback commits for every other pending preview, so tool calls taller than the viewport (e.g. a task call's context/assignment markdown) no longer read as cut off until the result lands.
- Added a regression test in `tool-live-region-scrollback.test.ts` scroll-appending a tall collapsed streaming task call into native scrollback mid-stream.
- Replaced the fixed `CALL_PREVIEW_MAX_LINES` cap in `render-utils.ts` with a dynamic `previewWindowRows()` (terminal rows minus a chrome reserve); `capPreviewLines` now returns lines untouched when expanded and windows them otherwise.
- Applied the cap in every render state for bash and ssh command previews — streaming and final render identically instead of snapping fully open on completion — and included the preview window in bash's render cache key so terminal resizes invalidate it.
- Capped eval cell code previews via the same window; previously cell code was never capped at all, with `ctrl+o` remaining the only way to uncap.
- Added stream-vs-final parity coverage in `bash-sixel-render.test.ts`, `ssh-render.test.ts`, and the new `eval-code-preview.test.ts`, and a changelog entry.
- Extended `AgentTool.concurrency` to accept per-call resolver functions and resolved concurrency mode from each tool call, falling back to exclusive on resolver errors.
- Updated BashTool to schedule non-PTY calls as shared and PTY calls as exclusive so non-interactive bash calls can run in parallel within one message.
- Tracked in-use persistent shell sessions in the bash executor and routed overlapping calls on the same session key to isolated one-shot shells while preserving owner session availability.
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).
main's CachedOutputBlock.render now returns readonly string[]; the
cache slot added by this PR was still mutable, failing check:types.
Addresses review feedback on #2083.
Follow-up to the loop guard + artifact cap that addressed the root cause
of issue #2081's runaway captures. The reporter then noted Ctrl+X/Ctrl+C
remaining unresponsive — confirming the secondary symptom: per-keystroke
TUI repaints walked every visible bash row and re-ran `split` /
`replaceTabs` / `truncateToVisualLines` over the stored output. With a
1,000+ message transcript and a 50KB-tail per row, that string work was
what pinned the main thread, not the loop itself.
The eval renderer already caches its computed lines keyed by `(width,
previewLines)` — see `eval-render.ts:709-752`. Mirrored that pattern in
the bash result renderer with a slightly wider key (`width`,
`previewLines`, `expanded`, `rawOutput`, `isPartial`) so the cache is
busted whenever any input that affects the produced lines actually
changes. `invalidate()` continues to clear `CachedOutputBlock` and now
also clears the lines cache, so callers that already drive invalidation
keep working unchanged.
A render() with cache-equivalent inputs is now an array-reference
return; the `CachedOutputBlock` round trip is skipped entirely. New
test in `test/tools/bash-sixel-render.test.ts` pins the contract:
identical inputs → same array reference; width change → cache miss;
invalidate() → fresh array.
Refs #2081
artifact spill now includes the head-retained bytes (full capture was missing first ~20KB); chunk throttle coalesces instead of dropping; cd-prefix extraction defers shell-expanded paths; interceptor rule is quote-aware and catches clobber and variable targets; completed async jobs release their Shell; at job cap commands degrade to foreground; PTY mode drops the non-interactive env and notes silent downgrades; timeout/abort annotations always appended; removed dead idle-timeout-watchdog.
- Added status.done and tool.* symbols to theme mappings and presets.
- Replaced generic success glyphs with contextual +/-, tool icons, and warnings.
- Mapped tool/task/job completions to status.done or status.enabled with icon overrides.
- Triggered runtime provider refresh after extension registration and warned on failure.
- Ran the operand as an ordinary descendant so it is reaped with the host instead of leaking as an orphan.
- Propagated the command's exit status; reported missing operand and exit 125 with no operand.
- Updated the bash tool prompt's daemon guidance away from nohup/setsid/disown detachment.
- Switched shell renderer success icon/state to "done".
- Added a `showHeader` option to shell rendering and suppressed the bash frame title bar by default.
- Parsed trailing raw-output artifact notices and folded their IDs into status footer metadata instead of command output.
- Updated task call and result rendering to process shared context with the Markdown renderer, so context sections are now displayed with proper Markdown formatting.
- Stopped shimmer animation on pending bash/eval/task blocks once async state is `running`, preventing the committed frame from freezing a transient dark border segment.
- Adjusted rule path display to fall back to a root-relative path when cwd-relative resolution is unavailable.
Per PR review on #1926: a secondary in-process top-level createAgentSession() that exposes bash/task/job tools would still call AsyncJobManager.instance() at execute time, register on the primary's manager, and have the primary's onJobComplete enqueue results into the primary's yieldQueue — corrupting the owning session's conversation.
ToolSession now carries an asyncJobManager reference scoped to its session: the constructed manager for top-level sessions, the inherited singleton for subagents (so their bash/task completions still flow into the spawning conversation as before), and undefined for secondary in-process top-level sessions that found a singleton already installed. bash, task, and job tools resolve the manager through ToolSession instead of the process-global singleton, so a secondary session whose tools attempt async work fails fast with the standard "Async job manager unavailable" error instead of contaminating the primary.
- Added clockwise sweeping dark segment animation to output block borders while bash/eval tool calls are pending/running.
- Changed bash renderCall to immediately render a full bordered block instead of a one-liner status preview, so silent commands show the framed block for their entire runtime.
- Added shimmerEnabled() helper and wired animate flag through OutputBlockOptions, CodeCellOptions, and shell/eval renderers.
- Tagged non-zero bash command completions as error results, capturing `exitCode` and keeping exit notices in returned text.
- Updated the shell renderer to hide duplicate exit notices from output while surfacing failed command status in the footer.
- Added tests for non-zero versus zero-exit bash results and footer rendering of failed commands.
- Measured bash wall-clock duration for direct, terminal-bridge, and interactive execution paths.
- Recorded wall time in result notices and details, then stripped the duplicated literal notice during shell rendering.
- Updated the renderer to include wall time in the status label and added tests for the new wall-time behavior.
- In `resolveApproval`, yolo mode now returns the user policy directly (`allow`/`prompt`/`deny`) and ignores tool `override` prompts.
- Updated approval-mode and approval unit tests to match the new behavior for critical bash patterns under yolo and auto-approve.
- Updated docs and settings metadata to describe yolo as user-policy-driven rather than override-driven.
- Added `ToolTier`, `ToolApproval`, and `ToolApprovalDecision` types and exported approval APIs.
- Updated approval-mode options from `auto|prompt|custom` to `always-ask|write|yolo` and defaulted mode to `yolo`.
- Changed approval resolution to apply per-tool decisions first, then mode-tier limits, with legacy-mode migration.
- Assigned read/write/exec `approval` and approval-detail prompts across built-in, custom, extension, and MCP tools.
- Removed the exported formatBashFixupNotice helper from bash command fixup utilities.
- Removed BashTool's one-time bash-fixup notice tracking and stopped emitting those notices when fixups were applied.
- Added canonical `pi.zod` schema API exports and removed TypeBox package exports/imports.
- Migrated Tool schema typing from TypeBox to shared `TSchema`/Zod flow with legacy TypeBox compatibility.
- Updated AI provider adapters and MCP/agent builders to convert tool params through `toolWireSchema()`.
- Reworked schema validation from AJV to Zod-safe parsing with `fromTypeBox`, `toolWireSchema`, and meta schema checks.
- Added stripOutputNotice to output-meta to remove appended truncation notices when output metadata is available.
- Updated bash, eval, browser, read, and ssh renderers to strip the notice before display so the styled warning line is not duplicated.
- Left fallback behavior unchanged so outputs without a notice continue through unchanged.
- Added top-level parsing and segment splitting to apply bash fixups only on safe command chunks.
- Replaced `stripTrailingHeadTail` usage with `applyBashFixups` and array-based notice formatting.
- Fixed terminal `| head`/`| tail` and redundant `2>&1` stripping while preserving command semantics.
- Updated fixup tests for cross-command cases and removed superseded head-tail-only test coverage.
Drop trailing `| head [args]` / `| tail [args]` pipes that exist purely
to limit output — the harness already truncates bash output and exposes
the full result via the bash-original artifact, so these pipes only
hide content from the agent.
Conservative gates (any failing leaves the command verbatim):
- single-line only; multi-line scripts may legitimately end pipelines
with head/tail to bound a generator or loop body
- whitelisted limit-only args (-nN, -n N, -cN, -N, -q, -v, --lines[=N],
--bytes[=N], --quiet, --verbose); rejects -f/-F/+N/filenames so
`tail -f`, `tail -n +2` etc. stay intact
- regex anchored at end of command; any downstream operator (`&&`,
`||`, `;`, `&`, `>`, `|`, `` ` ``, `$(…)`, `)`) blocks the match, so
`just build 2>&1 | tail -3 && just up && …` is untouched
- refuses to reduce the command to an empty string
- pipe boundary uses `[ \t]*`, not `\s*`, so a `|` on a continuation
line cannot be swallowed
Consolidates the existing `timeoutClampNotice` and the new strip notice
into a single `pendingNotices: string[]` array threaded through every
execute branch (async, auto-background, ACP terminal, local exec).
New setting `bash.stripTrailingHeadTail` (default `true`).
- Updated BashTool's leading `cd` regex to stop matching newline characters so cwd extraction only applies to a single-line `cd ... &&` prefix.
- Added a regression test for multiline commands with a later-line `&&` to ensure each line of the script executes normally.
- Added a new formatBashCommandLines helper that syntax-highlighted each command line and applied the dim prefix only to the first line.
- Updated the shell renderer to emit command output as line-based entries instead of a single dimmed string.
- Extended the bash renderer test to verify multi-line commands keep ANSI styling on every rendered line.
Addresses the codex review comments on #1015 plus a sweep of adjacent
ACP conformance gaps surfaced while wiring them up.
Tool call + diff metadata
- acp-event-mapper: thread session cwd through and resolve every
`ToolCallLocation` (initial args, in-flight updates, result details)
to absolute paths against it; ACP requires absolute paths for
client-side file mapping.
- edit/modes/patch: emit the destination path for moves in the diff
result so post-edit "open file" actions land on the new file.
Permissions
- agent-session: pass cwd into `extractPermissionLocations` and resolve
raw `path`/`file`/etc. fields against it before sending
`session/request_permission`.
- agent-session: gate the permission wrapper on
`bridge.capabilities.requestPermission && bridge.requestPermission`,
matching the read/write/bash capability+method pattern.
acp-agent
- `authenticate`: validate `methodId` against the methods advertised by
`initialize` and reject anything else, so malformed clients fail fast.
- `setSessionConfigOption(MODE_CONFIG_ID)`: also emit
`current_mode_update` so clients tracking `modes.currentModeId` see
the same transition `session/set_mode` would produce.
- Pass `runtime.notifyConfigChanged` to builtins; emit
`available_commands_update` from a shared `reloadPlugins` helper
reused by `/reload-plugins`, `/marketplace`, and `/plugins`.
- prompt resource handling: route `resource` content with `image/*`
MIME into the `images` array instead of dropping it as an opaque
blob; non-image blobs still fall back to the URI placeholder.
- pass session cwd to the event mapper.
Builtins
- model: call `runtime.notifyConfigChanged()` after a successful
`setModel` so the ACP config selector reflects the new model
immediately.
- mcp: redact query strings and userinfo from MCP server URLs before
emitting them in `/mcp list` (prevents leaking `?exaApiKey=…` style
secrets); wire `manager.setAuthStorage(...)` before `prepareConfig`
in `/mcp test|resources|prompts` so OAuth servers can refresh tokens.
- ssh: reject non-integer `--port` values via a `^\d+$` guard instead
of silently coercing through `Number.parseInt`; list project hosts
first and dedupe user-scope duplicates to match capability-loader
precedence.
- export: reject clipboard aliases (`--copy`, `clipboard`, `copy`)
before passing them to `exportToHtml` as a filename.
- compact / force / move / browser: surface underlying failures via
`usage(errorMessage(...))` instead of letting them crash the command.
- session save|delete: route through the active SessionManager so the
persist writer is consulted and stale storage references are removed.
- marketplace / plugins / reload-plugins: call `runtime.reloadPlugins()`
on install/uninstall/upgrade and enable/disable so slash command
registries and command lists refresh consistently.
- shared.usage: make async and `await runtime.output(...)` so
`sessionUpdate` text is never dropped or reordered.
- types: document the new `reloadPlugins` and `notifyConfigChanged`
runtime hooks.
bash tool
- Use a shared `fireKill()` from the abort listener so `session/cancel`
terminates the remote command immediately instead of waiting for the
next `currentOutput()` round trip.
- Race `currentOutput()` against the abort signal so a stuck
`terminal/output` RPC cannot delay cancellation.
- Kill the terminal before reading final output on timeout so a slow
output read cannot let a timed-out command keep running past the
enforced timeout.
Tests
- acp-agent.test: extend the existing config-option assertions to
verify both `model` and `thinking_level` changes emit
`config_option_update` notifications scoped to the right session.
- acp-builtins.test: cover `/model` emitting both
`notifyTitleChanged` and `notifyConfigChanged`; lock in the parsed
`mcp add` / `ssh add` call shapes so future arg-parser regressions
fail the test instead of silently writing different configs; add a
`reloadPlugins` stub plus a typed `notifyConfigChanged` slot to the
shared test runtime factory.
- acp-stdout-hygiene.test: drain stderr in parallel and assert no
JSON-RPC frame leaks onto it; terminate the spawned process so the
stderr pump resolves deterministically.
CHANGELOG: itemize the above under `[Unreleased] > Fixed`.
CI
- bun run check: clean (TS + Rust)
- bun run test: 4128 pass / 689 skip / 0 fail (TS); 252 pass / 0 fail

- bun run ci:test:smoke: --version / --help / `stats --help` all OK
- BashTool dispatches execution through the client bridge terminal channel when a bridge is present, falling back to local PTY otherwise
- ReadTool and WriteTool gate filesystem access through ACP permission checks
- Exports new tool wiring in the tools barrel
- Added ownerId metadata to async jobs and to task/bash progress items from the session agent id.
- Extended async job registration and query methods with optional owner filters, and updated cancelAll to target matching owners.
- Updated session handoff and disposal so subagents inherit the parent manager, top-level sessions own it, and teardown cancels own jobs only.
- Added owner-aware async-job tests using hold/AbortSignal and scoped cancelAll assertions for running versus cancelled jobs.
- Added process-wide singleton instances for InternalUrlRouter, AsyncJobManager, and MCPManager.
- Changed internal URL protocols to resolve through registered sessions and scan all active roots/datasets for matches.
- Refactored agent, artifact, memory, rule, skill, jobs, and mcp handlers to use shared manager and rule/skill state.
- Removed per-session protocol/tool wiring and switched tests to initialize and reset global singleton state.
- Updated bash, job, and task prompts to state that background results are delivered automatically when complete.
- Removed guidance encouraging repeated `jobs://` polling and clarified `job` with `poll` should be used only when a task is blocking.
- Changed the bash tool confirmation message to recommend doing other work while waiting for background jobs and polling only if needed.
- Removed the shared date, workspace, and critical-response block from now-prompt.md.
- Added the same instructional block to project-prompt.md so the project prompt now carries those system constraints.
- Deleted `bash-normalize.ts` and its tests; output truncation is handled by the streaming tail buffer and artifact spillover.
- Removed `head`/`tail` schema fields from `bashSchema` and `BashToolInput`.
- Updated system prompt and bash tool prompt to forbid `| head`/`| tail` pipes and other anti-patterns, directing the agent to use dedicated tools instead.
- Added optional `loadMode` and `summary` fields to `AgentTool` and related type declarations.
- Added `loadMode` and `summary` metadata to built-in tool classes for discoverable/essential behavior.
- Replaced `BUILTIN_TOOL_METADATA` with per-tool fields in discovery code paths.
- Updated `search_tool_bm25` and discovery indexing to use each tool's `summary` text.
- Updated discovery tests to validate tool `loadMode` and summary completeness.
