- Restored the compact two-row `Editor` layout by default and gated the dedicated IME-safe bottom border behind `setImeSafeCursorLayout()`.
- Added `tui.imeSafeCursor` as an opt-in appearance setting and applied it to initial and replacement editors.
- Added regression coverage for compact default rendering while retaining terminal-local IME preedit protection.
- Updated the TUI changelog for the opt-in compatibility layout.
- Added schema and type updates for task-agent fields and model resolver settings.
- Extended discovery helper logic to carry resolved task-agent metadata through execution setup.
- Updated task/agent registration and execution paths to use the new capability/field data.
- Expanded test coverage for agent-field parsing, model resolution, and executor prewalk behavior.
generate_image was registered as a custom tool and force-activated via the alwaysInclude list in createAgentSession, so it survived --no-tools (empty toolNames) and any explicit whitelist that omitted it. There was also no generate_image.enabled setting, so /settings had no toggle.
Add a generate_image.enabled setting and only register the tool when enabled and either no whitelist is given or it names generate_image.
Fixes#5305
- Added `tui.scrollbackRebuild` configuration with interactive startup/controller wiring to apply `setScrollbackRebuild`.

- Cleaned up frontend forms and server request handling in the harbor-manager package to reflect the feature removal.
- Updated the downshift planning prompt instructions to maintain continuity in task creation.
- Modify downshift logic to ignore `todo` tool calls as triggers, requiring them instead to open a "gate" that permits switching only on subsequent `edit`/`write` actions.
- Ensure the starting model consistently handles implementation until the todo list is established, preventing premature hand-off to the fast/cheap model.
- Update system prompts to emphasize strict validation and multi-test execution requirements for the boomerang model upon returning to the primary context.

- Added system prompt templates and runtime checks to facilitate message handling for boomerang transitions.
- Included unit tests to verify context management and validation pass requirements during the boomerang process.
- Included the todo tool in downshift action triggers, gated on the plan nudge being in context — a post-nudge todo init is the planning-complete signal, while a turn-one todo remains bookkeeping.

- Added display.collapseCompacted boolean setting to the appearance tab.
- Enabled default collapse behavior for pre-compaction history in the transcript view.
- Implemented model-specific keys and provider wildcards for `retry.fallbackChains` with updated resolution logic.
- Added interactive fallback chain management in the model roles UI, including support for reordering and editing.

- Added a /model action that assigns the selected model as the default retry fallback.
- Cleared retry cooldown suppression when users manually switch models.
Fixes#4533

- Added silver16-bw to the snapcompact shape settings submenu and renamed unsupported-glyph warnings.
- Covered auto shape selection, explicit variant precedence, unsafe glyph scans, and settings option parity.
Fixes#4486
Adds the rich TUI ask dialog, additive schema fields, ask.enabled tool gating, note/preview/header support, chat redirect, and timeout behavior that defers while nested prompts are active instead of discarding user input.
Op: extend
Added providers.webSearchGeminiModel and GEMINI_SEARCH_MODEL so Gemini web_search requests use a selected grounding model while keeping gemini-2.5-flash as the fallback.
Covered OAuth, Developer API, and missing modelVersion fallback paths in Gemini web search tests.
Fixes#4312
- Added an enhanced speech pipeline that utilizes small models to rewrite text for natural language synthesis.
- Implemented `SpeechEnhancer` and `BlockAccumulator` to manage fence-aware text streaming and paragraph splitting.
- Configured a new `speech.enhanced` setting to toggle between mechanical and enhanced vocalization modes.
- Resolved `EPIPE` rejections during speech playback by ensuring stream flushes and suppressing stop-related errors.
- Introduced the `task.softRequestBudgetNotice` boolean setting to opt into budget steering notices.
- Disabled the wrap-up steering notice by default when a subagent crosses its soft request budget.
- Maintained the 1.5x graceful abort safety guard regardless of whether the steering notice option is enabled.
- Updated the settings schema to document the conditional steering notice behavior.
Added AnthropicOptions.fallbacks + wire types + response parsing gated on the opt-in — server-side fallback stays fully inert on every request that does not set the option.
Coding-agent surfaces the feature via providers.anthropic.serverSideFallback (default off). When enabled, Fable/Mythos requests inject fallbacks: [{ model: claude-opus-4-8 }]; caller-supplied fallbacks always win.
transformMessages centrally strips persisted fallback blocks on cross-provider hops and non-official Anthropic replays so a stored fallback turn never wedges downstream converters. Retry resets restore output.model to the requested id.
Fixes#4177
- Made CompactionSettings.reserveTokens optional so field presence carries provenance; the proportional small-window fallback only applies to genuinely defaulted reserves.
- Clamped the fallback reserve to >= 1 and the derived threshold strictly below the context window.
- Changed the coding-agent settings-schema default from 16384 to unset so Settings.get() no longer materializes a default that masks provenance.
Added a cross-turn tool-call loop guard that hashes canonical tool names and arguments, ignores intent metadata, and injects a hidden redirect when identical calls reach the configured threshold.
Fixes#3971
- Added comprehensive integration tests verifying Speech-to-Text submit triggers in STTController under different configuration settings.

- Integrated trigger evaluation into batch and streaming `STTController` pipelines.
- Implemented trailing word trimming to strip trigger words like "submit" before sending.
- Added comprehensive unit tests for all trigger evaluation behaviors.
Forwarded persisted provider stream timeout settings into model requests so slow local LLM streams can widen or disable first-event and idle watchdogs without environment variables.
Fixes#3878
- Migrated global service tier settings to a per-model-family architecture (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google).
- Implemented `ServiceTierByFamily` mapping to allow independent configuration and resolution per provider.

- Updated telemetry, session management, and task execution to support provider-specific tier resolution.
Fixed the bash interceptor rule so allowed /dev sink redirects are skipped while scanning for later real file redirects in the same command.
Fixes#3763
Fixed the bash interceptor's echo/printf redirect rule so device sinks under /dev/null, /dev/tty, /dev/stdout, and /dev/stderr remain executable while real file redirects are still blocked.
Fixes#3763
- Replace the static "Goal/Next" status line with an ephemeral LLM-generated summary triggered after idle periods.
- Hook the recap into the agent's side-channel pipeline, using live goal and task state as context anchors for meaningful recaps.

- Updated dialect resolution, factory registration, and type definitions to exclude pi.
- Cleaned up settings schema and user options to remove pi-related configurations.
- Deleted corresponding test suites covering pi dialect functionality, in-band tools, and examples.
- Added `tiny` as a first-class model role to override online models for lightweight background tasks.
- Updated session title generation, auto-thinking difficulty classification, unexpected-stop detection, and mnemopi backend to resolve via the `tiny` role before falling back to `smol`.
- Updated configuration schema and documentation to reflect the new role precedence.
- Update `acp-builtins.test.ts` to support interactive session movement and path session file testing.
- Clarify `/move` command routing in `/move` slash command tests.
