WHC	e0b0eddf3a	v0.8.6: general mode, clipboard text, PDF text extraction Working mode: --mode coding\|general (CST_MODE, settings.json, /mode, WebUI run settings). general swaps the default framing for a general assistant one -- workflow, safety notes, tool wording (run_shell, the subagents) -- and /status shows it; minimal (the paper profile) stays byte-frozen. The prompt state carries the mode so a switch leaves a system note in history. Clipboard: clipboard_read / clipboard_write tools (16 MiB cap read, default 64 KiB window; writing is a WRITE permission with a preview) on pbcopy / wl-copy / xclip / pbpaste / wl-paste / xclip and the Win32 clipboard. In the TUI, /attach paste falls back to clipboard text when there is no image on it. PDF: a dependency-free text extractor (src/pdf_text.c): inflate, Flate/ASCIIHex/ASCII85, PNG/TIFF predictors, layout-independent object scan, object streams, page tree walk with inherited resources, content lexer (Tj/TJ/'/" and the Td/TD/T*/Tm spacing heuristics), per-font ToUnicode CMaps and inline images skipped. Encrypted files and pages with no text layer are refused with the reason. Attachments: /attach (a path or files dropped on the terminal) now take images, PDFs and text. A PDF is stored as its text layer with the mime still saying application/pdf and its page count; anything else has to be UTF-8 text. Documents travel inline as text parts, so CST_NO_IMAGES and text-only models no longer drop them, while images keep their old path. Tests: test_pdf_text (plain, bare and zlib-framed Flate, inline image, CID + ToUnicode, object stream, error paths), documents in test_attach, inlined documents in test_llm_body, mode in test_config.	2026-10-11 11:09:39 +08:00

v0.8.6: general mode, clipboard text, PDF text extraction

Working mode: --mode coding|general (CST_MODE, settings.json, /mode,
WebUI run settings). general swaps the default framing for a general
assistant one -- workflow, safety notes, tool wording (run_shell, the
subagents) -- and /status shows it; minimal (the paper profile) stays
byte-frozen. The prompt state carries the mode so a switch leaves a
system note in history.

Clipboard: clipboard_read / clipboard_write tools (16 MiB cap read,
default 64 KiB window; writing is a WRITE permission with a preview) on
pbcopy / wl-copy / xclip / pbpaste / wl-paste / xclip and the Win32
clipboard. In the TUI, /attach paste falls back to clipboard text when
there is no image on it.

PDF: a dependency-free text extractor (src/pdf_text.c): inflate,
Flate/ASCIIHex/ASCII85, PNG/TIFF predictors, layout-independent object
scan, object streams, page tree walk with inherited resources, content
lexer (Tj/TJ/'/" and the Td/TD/T*/Tm spacing heuristics), per-font
ToUnicode CMaps and inline images skipped. Encrypted files and pages
with no text layer are refused with the reason.

Attachments: /attach (a path or files dropped on the terminal) now take
images, PDFs and text. A PDF is stored as its text layer with the mime
still saying application/pdf and its page count; anything else has to be
UTF-8 text. Documents travel inline as text parts, so CST_NO_IMAGES and
text-only models no longer drop them, while images keep their old path.

Tests: test_pdf_text (plain, bare and zlib-framed Flate, inline image,
CID + ToUnicode, object stream, error paths), documents in test_attach,
inlined documents in test_llm_body, mode in test_config.

Windows: official port -- UCRT static build, UTF-8 throughout, Low IL sandbox, ncurses TUI, installer; v0.6.0

Build
  * cross build switches to pkgsCross.ucrt64 (shell-win.nix); curl (Schannel),
    winpthreads and ncurses 6.6 are linked statically, so the release is
    cst-agent.exe + busybox.exe (busybox-w32 Unicode) with no extra DLLs
  * windres embeds a manifest with activeCodePage=UTF-8 and a version resource
  * ncurses 6.6 Windows console driver patches (mouse button state, A_DIM,
    wide-char declarations): scripts/patches/
  * scripts/bootstrap_msys2.sh builds the same release natively in MSYS2
    UCRT64; PR #1's MINGW64 notes now point there
  * vendor/tre-regex (musl's TRE) provides <regex.h> on MinGW

UTF-8
  * paths cross the system call boundary as UTF-16 (*W APIs); console code
    pages set to 65001 and restored on exit; files are read and written in
    binary mode
  * child output that is not valid UTF-8 is decoded from the console, OEM or
    ANSI system code page
  * read_file hides CR; edit_file, apply_patch and write_file keep CRLF line
    endings and a UTF-8 BOM

OS layer and processes
  * os_dir_* and cst_fnmatch replace the POSIX-only directory walks in
    subagent, plugins, skills, undo and fs_tools; realpath / path_under and
    symlink rejection work on Windows
  * every child goes through CreateProcessW with its own environment block
    inside a Job Object, so timeouts and Esc end the whole process tree

Sandbox (auto mode, "auto · lowil")
  * run_shell runs with a restricted Low integrity token; the workspace gets
    an inheritable Low label once, the sandbox TEMP is labeled Low, and the
    credentials file gets a no-read-up label
  * drive roots, the profile and system folders are never labeled
  * network commands still ask, since Low IL does not block the network;
    Access denied and MSYS2's 0xc0000142 offer a rerun outside the sandbox
  * /sandbox lists labeled folders, /sandbox reset-labels restores them

TUI
  * raster console fonts are switched to Consolas / NSimSun while running
  * the home logo falls back to text when the console font lacks U+2580
  * mouse drag copy goes to the Windows clipboard

Distribution
  * scripts/install_windows.ps1 installs a Gitea release into
    %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\cst-agent and adds it to the user PATH;
    cst-agent-update.cmd reruns it; scripts/release_windows.sh uploads the
    zip with the token taken from the environment
  * scripts/run_windows.bat is gone; docs/README-windows.md is rewritten

Tests
  * new test_lowil, test_win_utf8 and test_os_dir; tests made portable
    (cst_test_util.h)
  * scripts/win_test.sh and scripts/winvm/ run the suite on English and
    Chinese Windows Server VMs as Administrator, a standard user and a
    Chinese user name: 29/29 on all six

Usability pass: tool registry, TUI polish, saved keys and settings

Tools
- Table-driven tool registry with permission classes and default/minimal
  profiles; new tools: edit_file, list_dir, glob, grep, delete_file,
  move_file, todo_write, web_fetch, ask_user (plus read_file paging).
- Built-in Myers diff; write tools return unified diffs.
- Persistent permission rules (.agent/permissions.json), per-turn undo
  snapshots (.agent/undo), AGENTS.md project notes, auto-compact at 80%
  of the model context, cancellable run_shell with process-group kill.

TUI
- Table-driven slash commands: /provider /key /effort /status /tools
  /permissions /yolo /undo /retry /diff /export /copy /rename /delete
  /init /max-steps /todo, with / and @ completion.
- Permission modal with diff and prefix rules, ask_user modal, todo
  panel, header with model/effort/context, bracketed paste, line editing,
  wide-char cursor, NO_COLOR and ASCII fallback; Esc never quits.

Startup and configuration
- API keys are entered in the TUI (hidden) and saved per provider in
  <config>/credentials (0600); env variables are only a fallback.
- Last provider, per-provider model and reasoning effort are remembered
  in <config>/settings.json; --effort/-e and /effort send
  reasoning_effort (low|medium|high|max) to models that accept it.
- DeepSeek preset uses deepseek-flash / deepseek-v4-pro.
- Session flags --new/--continue/--resume/--list-sessions, --yolo,
  --confirm.

Compatibility and tests
- ncurses detection, macOS/Homebrew support, make install, XDG config
  dir, POSIX cleanups; Gitea CI (gcc/clang/asan/musl/macOS).
- Unit tests for diff, fs tools, registry, undo/perms and config;
  e2e fixtures multi_file_refactor and ask_or_todo; vendored cJSON.
