Agent Of Empires Daily: Config Trust and Multi-Repo Diffs
Today's merges centered on making configuration and session state trustworthy — surfacing silent config errors, closing gaps in structured-view agent support, and giving multi-repo workspaces per-repo base branches — alongside a batch of correctness fixes in the TUI and test suite.

Good afternoon, and welcome to Agent Of Empires Daily for August 14, 2026.
Today's dominant theme is trust in configuration and session state — making the system say what it actually means, instead of silently doing something else.
Start with config. PR 3358 fixes a real landmine: a typo in config-dot-toml used to silently revert the entire file to defaults with no visible warning. Now load errors and unrecognized keys surface on the CLI, in the TUI startup dialog, and in settings-explain. Right alongside it, PR 3359 removes tmux and sound…
Second theme: structured-view agent support was quietly incomplete. PR 3360 found that only Claude-family API keys were being forwarded to ACP adapters — OpenAI, Gemini, and others were silently dropped for non-Claude agents. PR 3338 fixed a related gap: sessions using custom configured agents couldn't switch agents…
Third: multi-repo workspaces got meaningfully more flexible. PR 3333, from Seluj78, lets each repo in a workspace carry its own base branch and its own diff comparison point — previously one base branch applied to every repo, which broke diffing for mixed-branch setups.
Smaller but notable: PR 3357 gave the TUI's synthetic scratch…
