- Removed the standalone vim tool and normalized built-in/requested tooling to edit.
- Updated session and SDK tool activation to dedupe lowercase names and track edit state via the edit key.
- Added vim-mode argument detection and delegated edit rendering/execution into Vim handlers under edit.
- Updated Vim step handling to auto-reorder numeric-positioned commands, including cc/C/S/s/i/I/A cases.
- Renamed prompt/changelog text and test expectations to reflect edit-only tool naming and usage.
- Implemented parsing of `:j`/`:join` and `:j!`/`:join!` ex commands and mapped them to a new `join` command shape with a whitespace-trim flag.
- Added VimEngine handling for `join` to concatenate addressed lines (or the current plus next line by default), optionally normalizing whitespace and reporting line count in the status message.
- Updated vim prompt guidance, changelog notes, and tests to document and verify both normal and `:join!` join behavior.
- Removed live Vim preview state fields and priming/cleanup flow from tool execution and rendering.
- Changed vim insert-mode exit logic to close insert mode unless the final step is paused.
- Updated changelog entries and Vim edit-file prompts to clarify insertion behavior and examples.
- Updated vim tool argument handling to clone args directly and ignore __toolCallId/__cwd metadata.
- Added vim tool-call IDs across EventController, UiHelpers, and ToolExecution for per-call preview mapping.
- Extended Vim type and command parsing with update/write, edit, global, yank, and put handling.
- Added Vim engine support for new commands and motions, including gJ, g*, g#, g_, |, and gu/gU/g~.
- Reworked Vim tool flow to cache per-file engine clones, reuse tool details, and stream inserts in chunks.
- Updated vim.md and changelog to document new vim keys, ex aliases, and fixed :global preview behavior.
- Added parser and renderer tests plus a tmp/vim_test.txt fixture for chunked, cursor, and partial-insert cases.
- Changed chunk edit normalization to prefer write operations, then replace, insert, then delete, with empty write values now treated as clear-content writes.
- Allowed space motions in vim input as `<Space>`, handled them as movement and rendered in error output via token display.
- Adjusted benchmark retry flow to reset files on each retry, reduced per-run call limits, and lowered the default per-turn timeout.
- Added rollback handling for pending INSERT-mode changes whenever a non-final kbd sequence leaves insert mode, and updated the resulting VimInputError with guidance for using `insert` and escaping insert transitions.
- Hardened VimTool execution by resetting stale insert state before processing commands and by only applying empty inserts when Vim remains in INSERT mode.
- Adjusted Vim search handling to mimic Vim magic escaping and taught `o`/`O` numeric prefixes to act like `Go`/`GO` line inserts, then updated the expected error message test.
- Clarified the Vim tool prompt to require `file` and clearly separate key commands from insert text.
- Added updated usage examples and best-practice guidance for whole-file replacement, line edits, search/replace, and undo.
- Documented key/mode constraints, including insert-entry requirements and required `<Esc>` handling between non-final commands.
- Fixed `G`/`gg` motions to distinguish "no count" (go to last/first line) from explicit count.
- Added parsing for literal `\x1b`/`\r` bytes and backslash escape sequences (`\r`, `\e`, `\n`, `\t`).
- Updated `#readCount` to return `hasCount` flag propagated through operator and motion resolution.
- Synced vim buffer fingerprint from disk on reuse to handle LSP writethrough reformats.
- Added `toolStrictMode` support with `all_strict`/`none`/`mixed` options to OpenAI compatibility.
- Fixed OpenAI-completion strict-mode flows by capturing failed HTTP responses and retrying once as non-strict.
- Fixed completion error reporting by surfacing captured status, headers, and JSON `type`/`param`/`code` details.
- Improved strict-schema enforcement with WeakMap memoization and circular-schema detection in sanitization.
- Fixed OpenRouter provider lookup by resolving fallback model IDs for suffix and date variants in registry resolution.
- Refactored benchmark tooling and added async RPC error-window tracking for scheduled run execution.
- Added `VimTool` in `src/tools/vim.ts` with `open`, `kbd`, `insert`, and `pause` actions.
- Implemented `src/vim/{buffer,engine,parser,commands,render,types}.ts` for interactive Vim modes and operators.
- Updated `src/tools/index.ts` to normalize `edit`/`vim` tool selection and skip the inactive edit variant.
- Added `vim` registration in `BUILTIN_TOOLS` and `toolRenderers` for discoverability and output formatting.
- Added streaming renderer snapshots with viewport, caret focus, and diff output for `vim` calls.
- Added `test/tools/vim.test.ts` and `scripts/vim-edit-benchmark.py` coverage for the new editor stack.
