- Added an intent function to EvalTool that generated a label from provided input.
- Parsed input with parseEvalInput and joined each cell title or language fallback into a newline string.
- Returned "evaluating" when input was missing or could not be parsed.
- Added an instruction in the Python eval prompt explaining that notebook cells run in an IPython kernel with a live event loop.
- Documented that users should use top-level `await` directly and avoid `asyncio.run(...)` due to the running event loop.
- Kept the existing failure-handling guidance unchanged while clarifying async execution behavior for Python cells.
- Updated system prompts to require every active turn to end with a tool call and clarified that reminders should default to resuming work unless the task was complete or genuinely blocked.
- Reworked the yield-reminder text to disallow fake blocker reasons and to permit continued tool-calling instead of forced immediate yields.
- In `runSubprocess`, applied `toolChoice` only on the final yield retry by adding an `isFinalRetry` check before sending the reminder.
- BuildWorkspaceTree now attempts to list files via `git ls-files` and builds a child index for tree rendering, avoiding native recursion when git output is available.
- `buildDirectoryTree` gained an optional `childIndex` path map, `tryListGitFiles` now applies a 3s timeout and falls back to existing native scan on failure or timeout.
- Added a workspace-tree test that verifies git-backed listing skips gitignored entries while including tracked workspace files.
- Added a 5-second `Promise.race` deadline around `buildAgentsMdSearch` and `buildWorkspaceTree` in `createAgentSession` to prevent startup blocking on slow scans.
- Changed startup handling to forward `undefined` to `ToolSession` when scans time out so `buildSystemPromptInternal` can re-run them through its existing `withDeadline` path.
- Added a static-import rewriter that converts common import clauses into dynamic `await import(...)` expressions before VM wrapping.
- Provided `require` and `createRequire` globals in the JS VM context using a cwd-based resolver.
- Added executor tests confirming rewritten imports run correctly and that `require`/`createRequire` are exposed with expected behavior.
Subagents previously re-ran buildAgentsMdSearch and buildWorkspaceTree on
every spawn, repeating the slowest part of system-prompt construction for
each task tool invocation. On large/pathological repos those scans
exceeded the 5s preparation deadline and tripped the per-subagent
'system prompt preparation timed out' warning.
Forward the parent's already-resolved AgentsMdSearch and WorkspaceTree
through createAgentSession (alongside the existing contextFiles, skills,
and promptTemplates inheritance):
- Add agentsMdSearch and workspaceTree to CreateAgentSessionOptions;
createAgentSession short-circuits the parallel scan promises when
these are provided.
- Resolve them with contextFiles before constructing ToolSession; expose
on ToolSession so the task tool can read the parent's values.
- Thread them through ExecutorOptions (task/executor.ts) into the
subagent's createAgentSession call, and pass them from the task tool
(task/index.ts) on both the worktree-isolated and non-isolated paths.
- Added hideThinkingSummary options across stream, agent, and session payload paths.
- Routed Coding-Agent hideThinkingBlock toggles to agent hideThinkingSummary during session updates.
- Updated OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, and Codex requests to omit reasoning.summary when hide/ summary is null.
- Reworked system-prompt preparation with per-step timeouts, fallback defaults, and step-level warnings.
- Updated the read tool docs to define URL selectors as `:50`, `:50-100`, and `:50+150` and to document the `https://host/:port` form for URLs with explicit ports.
- Changed URL selector parsing to use the file-style numeric range format, treated `raw` as a separate token, and updated the invalid zero-line message to direct users to `:1`.
- Refined embedded URL selector extraction to validate the base URL first and then match selectors against the new numeric range regex.
- Added `supportsMultipleSystemMessages?: boolean` to `OpenAICompat` for configurable multi-system handling.
- Added OpenAI-compat host detection, allowing per-host multiple-system defaults and explicit override control.
- Updated `convertMessages` to merge system prompts when disabled, while preserving separate system messages when enabled.
- Added tests for merged-vs-split system prompts, MiniMax/Qwen strict-template behavior, and override defaults.
- Added a new `scrubProcessEnv` helper in `procmgr` to remove macOS malloc logging variables from `process.env` before spawning.
- Invoked the helper at coding-agent CLI startup so bun sub-processes no longer inherit the problematic environment.
- This prevented the recurring `MallocStackLogging` warning from appearing in child process stderr output.
- Added optional `/loop` `count|duration` command arguments and wired `command.args` into loop handling.
- Implemented `loop-limit` parsing and runtime types/helpers for iteration and duration budget limits with validation.
- Updated interactive mode to enforce loop limits per iteration, check duration expiry, and clear budget state on disable.
- Added loop-limit parse/runtime tests and fixed `/loop` arg errors plus macOS `MallocStackLogging` environment leakage.
- Rendered diff content before the truncation notice instead of after.
- Updated hidden lines label to show count with "+" prefix.
- Added fallback label when no lines are hidden.
- Removed the read CLI argument and tool schema field so read requests no longer accept custom timeouts.
- Updated URL read handling to stop forwarding timeout values and execute URL reads without a timeout parameter.
- Standardized URL read fetching to a fixed 30-second timeout and dropped timeout metadata from URL call rendering.
- Removed [blocked]-focused instructions from failure handling and pre-yield checks in the system prompt.
- Eliminated the separate completion-honesty block and folded stronger end-to-end-completion language into the contract sections.
- Reworded output and critical-response guidance to focus on continuous progress and completion-only yielding.
- Added a readonly intent property to the write tool implementation.
- The intent now returned a contextual message using `args.path` when available, otherwise a generic "writing" label.
- Exported hashline section interfaces and helpers, including a new section-diff API for external callers.
- Refactored `computeHashlineDiff` to split input sections, propagate split errors, and delegate each section via helper.
- Added context-highlight caching and batched highlighting for unchanged lines, with `replaceTabs` fallback on unknown files.
- Fixed hashline streaming preview so completed sections stay visible when a new `@PATH` header appears mid-stream.
- Added hashline streaming tests for section persistence, malformed trailing `+ 7`, and dual sections.
- Adjusted streaming preview formatting to render the tail section using a computed start index and hidden-line count.
- Passed language into streaming formatting to syntax-highlight visible lines and include aligned line-number gutters.
- Updated the hidden-lines notice to handle singular vs plural earlier-line counts correctly.
- Added a new `orchestrate.md` prompt under `src/prompts/commands` defining an orchestrator workflow, verification gates, and anti-patterns.
- Imported and rendered the prompt in `src/task/commands.ts` as `orchestrateMd`.
- Appended the new prompt to `EMBEDDED_COMMANDS` so it is registered with existing embedded command templates.
- Updated the hashline prompt to require replacement ranges to cover entire statements or expressions, preventing broken syntax when applying changes.
- This clarified how replacement anchors should be chosen for function calls, literals, blocks, and control-flow branches.
- Updated the write tool preview renderer to syntax-highlight visible lines and annotate them with line-number gutters.
- Changed the file metadata output to an inline line-count suffix on the header and removed the separate metadata row.
- Adjusted preview truncation to show the first lines first while preserving hidden-line hints for collapsed output.
- Added a new completion-honesty section to the coding-agent system prompt with stricter delivery constraints.
- The prompt now requires all acceptance criteria to be met before completion, prohibits scope reduction without approval, and forbids delivering stubs, placeholders, or fake implementations as finished work.
- Verification language was tightened so completion claims must reflect actual verification and not be inflated by partial checks.
- Added `.ipynb` detection and editable-cell conversion utilities, including merge/serialize helpers in `edit/notebook`.
- Rerouted hashline, patch, and replace edit flows, plus read/write paths, through notebook-aware helpers before persistence.
- Removed the dedicated `notebook` tool, its schema flags, renderer, and built-in registration/settings checks.
- Updated notebook read behavior, docs, and tests so `.ipynb` reads return editable `# %%` cells and edits reserialize to JSON.
- Removed persona preambles ("You are an expert...") in favor of direct imperatives.
- Stripped redundant MUST/SHOULD modals where plain prose suffices.
- Condensed multi-sentence instructions into tighter single-line equivalents.
- Updated the `init` operation to require a `list: [{phase, items: string[]}]` payload and to replace any existing list.
- Updated the `append` operation description to state tasks are appended to a given `phase` and that the phase is lazily created.
- 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.
