Both traced the issue to the in-memory fork process resetting the session manager before an active tool turn had settled — causing an orphaned tool result to leak into the new…
That fragility theme continues elsewhere in the agent loop. PR 8930 exposes queued message state so extensions can observe steer and follow-up messages properly. PR 8908 fixes a race where compaction could strand a queued prompt during an async input hook. And PR 8936 stops prepared tool calls from executing after a…
The second theme is provider expansion. Melious, CoralBricks, and an experimental Ollama integration via new TCP and WebSocket transports all landed this cycle, alongside a thinking-level override for Fireworks' GLM model and a DeepSeek pricing update to reflect peak and off-peak billing. Pi's provider catalog is…
Smaller but notable: PR 8898 hardens the terminal against a SIGWINCH crash under restricted security policies, and PR 8907 closes a gap where disabling an extension by renaming its directory silently…
