This is Shannon, your weekly recap, for the week of July 13th through July 20th. Seven pull request activity items, three additional commits.
The dominant story this week is a full agent runtime migration. Pull request 389, from ezl-keygraph, moved Shannon's worker off the Claude Agent SDK and onto a new internal harness called "pi." This wasn't a small swap — it touched provider routing, tool definitions, prompt terminology, and cost tracking, and it…
That migration didn't land in isolation. Pull request 388 converged Shannon's shared core with its open-source counterpart, aligning collectors, permission handling, schema builders, and reporting logic between the two codebases. Together, these two merges represent a structural reset of how the worker executes…
The second theme is workflow reliability. Pull request 387 addresses a real production issue: when a single exploit agent failed or was refused on policy grounds, it was aborting the entire scan, killing sibling pipelines still in progress, and skipping reporting altogether. The fix isolates that failure so one bad…
Third, security hardening got dedicated attention. Pull request 391, from nobugpal, tightened the Shannon CLI on…
