A stream that stalls or aborts mid-tool-call ends the assistant turn with
stopReason error/aborted, then appends a synthetic tool_result per un-run
tool call to keep the provider's tool_use/tool_result pairing intact. That
placeholder trailed the failed turn, so AgentSession.retry() — which only
inspected the last message and required role assistant — short-circuited to
false and /retry printed 'Nothing to retry'.
retry() now walks back over trailing synthetic tool results (details
__synthetic true) before the assistant + stopReason check, stripping both
the placeholders and the failed turn. Only synthetic results are skipped, so
a turn whose tools actually ran stays non-retryable. Adds an exported
isSyntheticToolResultMessage guard in agent-loop.ts.
Fixes#6056
Resolved tool interruptibility from each call's raw arguments so mixed-operation tools can keep side-effecting calls non-interruptible.
Restricted the unified hub to interrupt passive waits and followed logs while preserving start, send, and lifecycle operation results.
Fixes#5995
Long sessions re-walked the full live AgentMessage[] every turn: convertToLlm
re-converted the unchanged prefix and estimateTokens re-tokenized settled tool
results and assistants, redoing work only the newest suffix can change.
- Added a per-message estimate cache in agent-core keyed by identity, with a
settle gate (assistants cache only with real usage + terminal non-error
stopReason; streaming partials bypass) and dual option-split WeakMaps for the
default vs compaction-floor estimates.
- Memoized convertToLlm per message identity + assistant interruptedNext flag,
with an exact-repeat outer-array reuse and slice-on-growth for append-only
turns, guarded by a boundary-identity check against interior splice-replaces.
- Invalidated both caches at the mutation seams: prune, shake, strip-images, and
the prewalk plan-nudge scrub, via invalidateMessageCache /
registerMessageCacheInvalidator across the package boundary.
- Added the llm-assembly bench (N=5000, robust MAD-noise gate): steady/append
convert and repeat estimate are all >10x faster with noise under 20%.
Fixes#5934
The context refresh captured the run-start model, so mid-run switches into or out of cursor-agent (retry fallback, prewalk, plan-yolo) sent the wrong tool set. Resolve supplemental tools against this.#state.model each call.
Fixes#5650
Forwarded the session xd registry into Cursor provider tool contexts.
Routed Cursor MCP execution through the mounted registry fallback and added regression coverage for built-in devices and external MCP tools.
Fixes#5650
A dropped stream that emitted toolcall_start/delta but never toolcall_end
leaves an incomplete toolCall block in content. The prior guard bailed on
any toolCall block, so the outer loop dispatched empty or partially
parsed arguments instead of retrying the transport failure.
Track streamed tool-call ids (toolcall_start/delta) alongside completed
ones (toolcall_end): a call streamed but never completed is incomplete.
reclassifyEmptyToolUseStop now reclassifies unless a usable (atomic or
completed) tool call remains, stripping incomplete blocks first. Atomic
deliveries (single done/end(result) message, e.g. Cursor) emit no
granular events and stay usable.
Fixes#5600
Streams finalized via end(result) with no terminal done/error event fall
through to the trailing-result branch, which returned response.result()
unchanged. An empty toolUse turn completing that way stayed a silent
success and never retried. Apply the same
retainCompletedToolCalls/recoverTransientErrorToolTurn/
reclassifyEmptyToolUseStop chain to the trailing branch.
Fixes#5600
A provider stream that closes after the thinking block but before the
tool call JSON is emitted finalizes with stopReason=toolUse and zero
toolCall content blocks. The loop treated this as a successful turn:
dispatched no tools, rendered an empty tool widget, and never retried.
reclassifyEmptyToolUseStop stamps such a turn as stopReason=error with
the Transient classifier bit set explicitly, so AgentSession's standard
retry-with-backoff path fires regardless of message-text matching.
Fixes#5600
- Added the `xd://` virtual device protocol (`internal-urls/xd-protocol.ts`, `tools/xdev.ts`): tools declaring `loadMode: "discoverable"` are unmounted from the request tools array and driven via `read xd://` (list/docs+schema) and `write xd://<tool>` (execute), gated by the `tools.xdev` setting (default on) and inlined into the system prompt.
- Merged the `irc`, `job`, and `launch` tools into a single `hub` tool (`tools/hub/`, `async/job-manager.ts`): messaging keeps `send`/`inbox`/`list`, job control maps to `wait`/`cancel`/`jobs`, process supervision keeps `start`/`logs`/`stop`/`restart`/`describe` with `ps`, and the unified `wait` races background jobs against peer messages; SDK `IrcTool`/`JobTool`/`LaunchTool` are replaced by `HubTool`.
- Removed the hidden `resolve` tool in favor of the `xd://resolve`/`xd://reject`/`xd://propose` resolution devices, auto-including `write` whenever a deferrable tool or plan mode is present.
- Removed the BM25 tool-discovery system: the `search_tool_bm25` tool, the `tool-discovery` module, the `tools.discoveryMode`/`mcp.discoveryMode`/`mcp.discoveryDefaultServers`/`tools.essentialOverride` settings, per-tool MCP selection, and the `mcp_tool_selection` message type.
- Unified tool presentation on `ToolLoadMode` (`essential`|`discoverable`), replacing the custom-tool `xdev?: boolean` opt-out; custom, extension, MCP, RPC host, image-generation, and TTS tools now default to `discoverable`, and added a `satisfies` predicate to `SoftToolRequirement`.
- Removed the standalone `ssh` command tool and `ssh/ssh-executor` (the `ssh://` read/write/search protocol stays), and made `--tools` address hidden built-ins.
- Updated collab-web to render `xd://` dispatches and `hub` op families, dropped the `search_tool_bm25`/`ssh`/`report-finding` renderers, refreshed tool docs and prompts, and migrated the affected tests and changelogs.
The interrupt-clobber branch in executeToolCalls replaced a tool's real
result with the "Skipped due to queued user message" placeholder whenever
an interrupt fired, the tool's own signal aborted, and the result was an
error. It ignored whether tool.execute() actually completed, so steering
while a tool was in flight could discard a genuine error result (e.g. a
command exiting non-zero) that the tool had already produced.
Gate the clobber on !completedToolExecution so a tool that ran to
completion keeps its real result; only tools cut off before returning are
reported as skipped. Align the aborted telemetry status the same way.
Fixes#4752
- Disabled the eval watchdog when timeout is explicitly zero.
- Classified session deadline aborts as TimeoutError while preserving their message.
- Documented and tested both timeout contracts.
Fixes#5250
- Normalized completed image_generation_call results into assistant image blocks.
- Persisted image bytes through the session blob store and rendered them in live, replay, ACP, proxy, telemetry, and HTML paths.
- Added response normalization, persistence, and TUI rendering regressions.
Fixes#4768
- Added `warning` field to `CompactionEntry` and `CompactionSummaryMessage` to persist dead-end status in session history.
- Introduced a multi-tier rescue mechanism in `AgentSession` that automatically performs `elide` and `dropImages` passes when maintenance fails to recover sufficient headroom.
- Integrated visual indicators for dead-ends into the `CompactionSummaryMessageComponent`, surfacing warnings directly on the compaction divider and detail block.
- Updated `AgentSession` logic to re-evaluate progress after each rescue tier and emit recovery notices, ensuring transparent reporting of automated history rewrites.
- Introduced an `AgentPauseGate` mechanism to suspend and resume agent loops and tool executions safely.
- Added a `/pause` slash command to trigger a new fullscreen UI that manages agent suspension and lifecycle.
- Integrated pause checks into the core agent loop and tool execution pipeline to ensure responsive state handling.
- Provided a new pause screen component to facilitate user interaction and resume control during suspension.
Escaped Harmony control-token markers when compaction serializes transcripts into plain summary prompts so Copilot gpt-5.6 models do not reject analysis-channel text.
Added regression coverage for summary-bound Harmony serialization while keeping native transcript rendering unchanged.
Fixes#5184
- Introduced `stringifyJson` helper to preserve bigint precision by serializing them as decimal strings.
- Replaced native `JSON.stringify` across compaction and session management modules to prevent serialization errors when handling bigint values in tool arguments.
- Added regression tests in `agent` and `coding-agent` packages to ensure bigint tool arguments remain intact through compaction and persistence flows.
- Force `reasoning.context` to `all_turns` in OpenAI Codex requests when `responsesLite` is enabled.
- Include `reasoning.encrypted_content` in the `include` header for lite responses.
- Update request transformation logic to ensure these fields are populated even when reasoning effort is not explicitly set.
- Introduced `Max` as a first-class reasoning effort tier across all packages, including AI providers, coding agent configurations, and RPC protocols.
- Refactored model effort ladders to use wire-exact mappings and removed legacy effort aliasing (e.g., `max-to-xhigh` mapping).
- Updated model registry and provider configurations to support `Max` tier routing, color themes, and UI icon associations.
- Expanded test suites to provide end-to-end coverage for the new reasoning tier, including updated compatibility and fallback scenarios.
- Enabled Codex Responses Lite for GPT-5.6 models by integrating model discovery flags and wire contract updates.
- Implemented request transformations for streaming and remote compaction, including header injection and image detail stripping.
- Introduced sequential-cutoff logic and atomic reasoning summary events for concurrent stream processing.
- Added comprehensive test suites to validate remote compaction, image handling, and reasoning summary delivery.
- Introduced `getOpenAIPromptCacheKey` to provide a unified identity resolution for both cache keys and affinity headers.
- Enabled `x-grok-conv-id` header support in the OpenAI completions provider for models configured with cache affinity.
- Added comprehensive tests to verify cache affinity header behavior across varied session and cache configuration states.
- Aborted the active agent loop synchronously when a terminal yield tool result finishes, so IRC-wake turns stop before another provider call.
- Added a regression covering idle IRC wake handling after a terminal yield.
Fixes#4963
- derive per-tool abort labels from a tool-scoped abort signal for provider-built aborted messages
- restore main's single-call TTSR label test dropped by the merge
- complete the innocent read in the sibling-label test; incomplete matched calls mint no placeholder under the retention policy
Retried handoff generation with toolChoice auto when a provider rejects the cache-preserving toolChoice none request as auto-only.
Kept unrelated provider 400s terminal so bad request failures still surface without masking the cause.
Fixes#4715
- Sent remoteCompaction.model or requestModelId in chat-completions remote compaction requests instead of the local catalog id.
- Covered both direct requestRemoteCompaction formatting and end-to-end openai-completions compaction with wire model ids.
Fixes#4630
