- Only bridge heartbeats (`agent()`/`llm()`) now re-arm the watchdog; compute, stdout, `log()`/`phase()`, and ordinary tool calls count against the budget.
- Emitted an immediate heartbeat at bridge call start to avoid early abort near budget edge.
- Removed `idle` flag and "of inactivity" suffix from timeout annotation strings.
- Updated docs, prompts, and comments to reflect the new wall-clock semantics.
The per-cell `timeout` is an inactivity budget that only re-arms on status
events, but host-side bridge calls can run long stretches with no
intermediate status (a subagent's time-to-first-token on a reasoning
model, a long quiet nested tool, or an entire oneshot llm() request).
The watchdog mistook that for a stall and aborted working subagents
mid-flight.
Pump a lightweight heartbeat while a bridge call awaits, re-arming the
watchdog through the existing emitStatus -> onStatus channel. The
heartbeat is a pure keepalive: forwarded to bump the timer but never
stored or rendered, so a genuinely stalled cell is still interrupted
once the call settles.
- eval/heartbeat.ts: withBridgeHeartbeat() + EVAL_HEARTBEAT_OP
- agent-bridge/llm-bridge: wrap runSubprocess / completeSimple
- js+py executors: forward heartbeat to onStatus, drop from displayOutputs
- tools/eval.ts: bump on heartbeat, skip persist/render
- Changed eval timeout behavior from hard wall-clock deadlines to per-cell inactivity budgets in all executors.
- Added IdleTimeout watchdog support, including bumps on status/tool activity and timer cleanup after execution.
- Updated executor option plumbing to replace deadlineMs with idleTimeoutMs and emit inactivity timeout annotations.
- Added IdleTimeout and shared-executor tests and updated prompt/repl docs for the new timeout contract.
- 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.
- Added +Nk/+Nm turn-budget parsing with whitespace-boundary matching, multipliers, and hard `!` indicator.
- Added per-turn budget lifecycle plus APIs (`getTurnBudget`, `recordEvalSubagentUsage`) and hard-cap checks in eval runs.
- Added hard budget observability in eval preludes and docs by exposing `budget.hard` and documenting ceiling modes.
- Fixed streaming preview stutter with max-row tracking and padding, with tests for preview height and budget parsing.
- 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 `agent()` in JS/Python preludes to call host bridge and parse returned text when schema is set.
- Added JS `parallel()` and `pipeline()` with bounded `__pool()` pools and concurrency normalization.
- Added `runEvalAgent` bridge logic with argument parsing plus plan-mode, allowlist, depth, and artifacts checks.
- Added tool routing and tests documenting new `agent/parallel/pipeline` behavior, defaults, and validation failures.
- Replaced single-candidate resolution with `enumeratePythonRuntimes`, returning venv, managed env, and system interpreter in priority order.
- Availability check now probes each candidate and falls through to the first that executes, so a stale `uv`-managed Python no longer fails the whole session.
- Kernel spawn reuses the probed runtime from the availability result instead of re-resolving independently.
- Expanded test coverage for enumeration, fallback, and env isolation between candidates.
- Namespaced `AgentSession.executePython()` session IDs before invoking the Python executor.
- Added a regression test proving eval state is visible to the user shortcut path.
- Replaced external watchdog timers with per-request SDK timeouts for first-event budget across OpenAI, Anthropic, and Azure providers.
- Keyed Python shared kernels by (sessionId, cwd) to prevent cross-directory state bleed.
- Deduplicated concurrent cold-start session acquisition for JS and Python executors.
- Moved `isOpenAIResponsesProgressEvent` to shared module and scoped display output routing per run for interleaved async cells.
- Added `cwd` and `env` optional parameters to kernel execution API for runtime working directory and environment variable control.
- Implemented runtime environment setup in Python runner with `_apply_request_runtime()` to apply cwd and env from request before code execution.
- Enhanced SIGINT handler management with `active_executions` counter and `_begin_exec_sigint()` / `_end_exec_sigint()` functions to prevent state mutation during concurrent execution.
- Changed `SearchRenderArgs.paths` parameter type from `string[]` to `string | string[]` to accept single string paths.
- Added comprehensive test coverage for kernel cwd updates, timeout interruption safety, and SystemExit handling in shared executor sessions.
- Removed per-session run queues from JS and Python backends, allowing async cells on the same session id to interleave.
- Introduced `getEvalSessionId` on ToolSession so subagents spawned via `task` inherit the parent's executor id and share JS VM and Python kernel state.
- Switched JS runtime state from module-level fields to AsyncLocalStorage so concurrent runs route output and tool calls to their own context.
- Changed Python runner to an asyncio event loop with per-request tasks and ContextVar-based run id tracking for concurrent execution.
- Added mtime-based module cache eviction to preserve singleton state across re-imports of unchanged local files.
A per-cell timeout used to kill the persistent Python kernel, losing
all session state. The kernel.ts timeout path now sends SIGINT first
(letting the cell raise KeyboardInterrupt) and only escalates to
shutdown after a 5s grace window if the interrupt is ignored.
KernelExecuteResult gains an optional kernelKilled flag (defaulting to
false, propagated by the escalation timer and the unexpected-exit
handler). executor.ts formats two distinct timeout annotations: one
that says the kernel is still alive and reset:true would clear state,
one that says the kernel was killed and will be recreated.
- Added generation-aware snapshot contracts with generation, serverNowMs, refresher, and rotatesInMs fields.
- Reworked /v1/snapshot serving and client fetching for If-None-Match long-poll with 304/200 status handling.
- Added status checks in remote-store and SDK/CLI snapshot paths, applying updates only when fetch returns 200.
- Added StreamOptions.onAuthError and stream one-shot 401 retry dispatch using refreshed credentials.
- disposeAllKernelSessions removes sessions from the registry before awaiting shutdown, preventing queued work from seeing a registered-but-disposing session and spawning a replacement kernel.
- replaceSessionKernel re-checks registry membership after old-kernel shutdown and after starting a replacement, shutting the replacement down if the session was disposed mid-replace.
- owner-scoped disposal now preserves ownerIds when shutdown is unconfirmed so a later disposeKernelSessionsByOwner(ownerId) can retry.
- executeOnSession's runQueued callback now re-checks sessions.get(sessionId) === session at slot entry and before the dead-kernel replace retry; if the session was removed by disposeAllKernelSessions / disposeKernelSessionsByOwner / resetSession during the queue wait, the queued caller now rejects with PythonExecutionCancelledError instead of spawning an untracked replacement kernel on a stale session object.
- Both dispose paths now inspect KernelShutdownResult.confirmed and retain (or re-insert) sessions whose shutdown was unconfirmed or rejected, logging a warn so a later dispose can retry the kernel instead of orphaning the subprocess.
- Added a persistent asyncio event loop and coroutine-aware compiled-code execution for runner cells.
- Enabled compiling notebook cells with top-level await flags and awaiting coroutine results before rendering.
- Added an integration test confirming top-level await works across kernel cells with preserved state.
- 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.
- Replaced Python execution with a local `python -u runner.py` subprocess and NDJSON stdin/stdout framing.
- Removed shared-gateway architecture, including coordinator lifecycle APIs, `useSharedGateway` wiring, and `jupyter` CLI/actions.
- Simplified setup checks to a plain Python 3 availability probe and removed automatic dependency-install fallbacks.
- Updated kernel cancellation and display processing to use status frames, SIGINT/SIGTERM escalation, and normalized output coercion.
- Added `python-runner` integration and display tests while deleting legacy websocket and kernel lifecycle test suites.
- Removed the JS and Python eval prelude `run` helpers, including their shell execution and timeout/cwd option handling.
- Updated the JS VM helper set to expose `Bun` and removed the deleted `run` entry from the prelude.
- Revised eval docs to drop `run` from the helper surface and note the new JS `Bun` global.
- Added parent-to-subagent artifact manager adoption so subagents reuse the parent `ArtifactManager` and write artifacts into a shared directory with shared IDs.
- Passed the shared artifact manager through tool/session context into subagent executor startup and exposed it via `SessionManager` and `ToolSession` for lookup.
- Updated kernel environment and artifact-resolution paths to prefer `PI_ARTIFACTS_DIR`, falling back to existing session-file-based behavior when absent.
- Removed deprecated file helper APIs (find, glob, grep, rgrep, sed, and stat) from JS and Python eval preludes.
- Removed status icons and formatting branches for find/grep/rgrep/glob/stat/sed from tools/eval.ts.
- Updated eval helper docs and Python prelude tests to match the reduced exposed helper surface.
- Consolidated AI provider imports through register-builtins and moved Gemini/Antigravity header helpers to a shared module.
- Added lazy loading for heavy providers and SDK-backed modules with cached initialization to trim startup cost.
- Converted markdown conversion helpers to async and awaited htmlToBasicMarkdown in affected scraper and kernel output paths.
- Parsed bundled agent definitions on-demand and moved BrowserTool prompt rendering behind a memoized getter.
- Added cached validation/error handling paths by replacing AJV runtime checks with Value.Check and trimming validation error output.
The warmup path no longer produces prelude docs, so the cached-session
warmup it implemented added no value over the create-on-first-execute
path that withKernelSession already covers. Remove warmPythonEnvironment,
the backend warm() hook, the eval-tool warmup loop, the createTools
warmup preflight, and the forcePythonWarmup option. Simplify
ExecutorBackendCallOptions into ExecutorBackendExecOptions since execute
is now the only consumer.
- 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.
