TUI keys: register both CSI and SS3 forms of the cursor/Home/End keys and
the xterm modifier sequences when terminfo lacks them, so an arrow sent in
the "other" form no longer turns into Esc + a typed letter. Up/Down move by
visual (soft-wrapped) row, and the draft survives a trip through history.
scripts/tui_keys drives the TUI in a pty to check all of this.
Images: text inside a multimodal content array is now a {"type":"text"}
part; DeepSeek rejected the bare string with HTTP 422. deepseek-flash
(and its deepseek-chat / deepseek-reasoner aliases) read images, so the
registry marks them vision; deepseek-v4-pro stays text only.
CI: models.c lost _DEFAULT_SOURCE in 0.7.0 and gmtime_r broke the musl
build; tests sleep with poll() instead of usleep for the same reason.
Images
- vision gate: text-only models get a note instead of image parts and no
view_image tool; unknown models retry once without images on HTTP 400
- paste: Ctrl+V and /attach paste read the clipboard (wl-paste, xclip,
pngpaste/osascript, Win32 PNG or CF_DIB converted to PNG); pasting image
file paths attaches them
- MCP image content is stored in the session and sent with the tool result
- attach: rel path validation, base64 decode, /retry keeps images
Model registry
- built-in src/models_builtin.json embedded at build time, merged with
<config>/models.json and cached GET /models metadata (context, vision,
pricing); most specific rule wins per field
- /model labels, /status source, --list-models [provider]
Cache and cost
- stable request prefix (frozen tools, notes as messages), DeepSeek prefix
completion, OpenAI/Anthropic cache hints, /cost and hit rate in the status
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.
