- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 `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.
- 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.
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.
