Use the same minimal trixie Xpra fallback package set for any architecture when the preferred Xpra repository is unsatisfiable.
This lets amd64 recover from current xpra beta sid libopenjph dependency drift like arm64 already does.
Suppress the chat progress ghost placeholder until a chat is selected so the welcome new-chat prompt remains the only visible composer hint. Add a focused static regression for the welcome composer idle-progress overlap case.
Move the ctx_length control for main and utility model slots above the Advanced disclosure while keeping embeddings excluded. Add a static regression guard so primary context controls stay visible outside Advanced.
Reset inherited mobile white-space inside the chat compaction modal so template indentation does not render as large vertical gaps.
Constrain the custom dialog body and raise the overlay above the mobile canvas rail.
Route the Configure credentials banner link through the welcome banner action dispatcher so it opens Settings directly at External Services > Authentication.\n\nAdd coverage for the unsecured connection banner and document the structured banner action contract for future banner links.
Restore restorable surface modals through the initFw_end extension hook and keep right-canvas state in session storage for normal reloads.
Fix Desktop host visibility after modal cleanup so preserved iframes reattach to real modal or canvas hosts, and remove the duplicate file-browser path icon overlay.
Split the monolithic a0-development skill into a lean entry point plus focused reference files for runtime, DOX, tools, extensions, API/WebUI, profiles, prompts, skills, projects, and plugin workflow.
Update the skill DOX ownership for the new references directory and clarify the root framework-vs-agent Python runtimes plus port-discovery guidance.
Verified with git diff --check, targeted skill/tool tests under PYTHONPATH, and live localhost:32769 skill loading/read_file checks before committing.
Reintroduce the shared .text-button primitive in WebUI button CSS so model-config preset controls no longer depend on the chat composer being mounted first.
Document the shared compact text-action contract and add a focused regression covering Model Presets and Model Configuration text-button usage.
Rename the Gemini OAuth provider surface to Google Cloud Gemini so the OAuth provider list points users toward the required Google Cloud project setup.
Align model-provider metadata, usage-plan copy, README wording, and static assertions while keeping the Gemini API OAuth mechanics unchanged.
Route non-action canvas surfaces to their floating/modal forms while the welcome screen is active, and keep the canvas rail/shell hidden until a chat is selected.
Open the welcome Files quick action through the File Browser modal directly so the first screen remains composed.
Document the welcome/canvas boundary in the local DOX contracts and add focused regression assertions for the canvas guard and Files quick action.
Raise the shared modal stack above the mobile right-canvas rail so blocking modals remain authoritative on small screens. Compact the mobile rail below 420px to reduce intrusion on narrow phones, and document the stacking contract in the owning DOX files.
Verification: pytest tests/test_browser_agent_regressions.py -q; pytest tests/test_office_canvas_setup.py -q; git diff --check; headless Chrome smoke confirmed modal content wins at the rail overlap point.
Store explicitly loaded skill IDs as chat-wide context data while keeping full skill bodies in normal tool-result history. Reattach any loaded skill body that is no longer visible after compaction by reimporting the current skill from its source, without revision hashes or protocol reinjection.
Update compaction and summary prompts to preserve loaded skill names only, refresh DOX contracts, and add focused coverage for context-data persistence, legacy agent-data migration, duplicate suppression, and post-compaction reattachment.
Generalize the Editor storage/session path from Markdown-only to exact-text .md and .txt documents, including open, save, Save As, and rename refresh behavior.
Expose Open in Editor as a visible row action in the File Browser for Editor-owned text files, keep non-Editor surface opens in the overflow menu, and route Desktop text MIME handling through the Editor bridge.
Tests: node --check webui/components/modals/file-browser/file-browser-store.js; python -m py_compile plugins/_office/helpers/document_store.py plugins/_editor/helpers/markdown_sessions.py plugins/_editor/api/editor_session.py plugins/_editor/api/ws_editor.py plugins/_desktop/helpers/desktop_session.py plugins/_desktop/api/desktop_session.py plugins/_office/api/office_session.py plugins/_office/api/ws_office.py; pytest tests/test_office_document_store.py tests/test_file_browser_navigation.py tests/test_office_canvas_setup.py -q
Move Annotate and Browser settings into the Browser toolbar so narrow views keep navigation and controls on one row above a full-width address bar.
Make the Browser panel itself the container-query boundary so mobile modals and narrow right-canvas panels share the same polished toolbar layout, with regression and DOX coverage.
Keep the File Browser path and search affordances on compact mobile rows, with create buttons sharing the search row and the Up control sharing the path row.
Give the Web Browser mobile toolbar a full-width address row by moving navigation controls above it, and add regression/DOX coverage for the layout contracts.
Keep the right-canvas rail visible at mobile widths while routing non-action surface affordances into floating modals instead of the side canvas shell. Hide mobile surface-modal header controls except the close button and Editor New action, and clamp floating surface modal geometry to narrow viewports.
Show the What's New modal once per newer version by default, add a browser-local permanent opt-out checkbox, and expose the modal through the builtin plugin Open action. Keep the legacy modal path as a compatibility redirect and update the local DOX/tests for the new contract.
Match the real chat composer to the welcome composer by using an 8px radius, centering the idle Waiting for input cue and fullscreen input control against the composer container, and switching the fullscreen input icon to the same fullscreen glyph used by modal surface Focus mode. Also remove the mobile-only #chat-input min-height under 640px so the composer can size naturally on narrow screens.
Update the Projects modal card layout so edit/delete and activation controls stay beside the project title on narrow viewports. Add truncation for long project titles and paths, collapse activate/deactivate labels on phones, and preserve desktop spacing while preventing horizontal overflow.
Adjust the welcome-screen composer so the shared chat input wraps cleanly on narrow phones. Reclaim hidden expand-button padding, suppress placeholder-only textarea scrollbars, and tune the iPhone-width placeholder sizing while preserving normal typed-message scrolling.
Route right-canvas rail clicks through the explicit canvas opener so Browser, Editor, Files, and Desktop open in the canvas even after a modal session. Preserve modal-header surface switches as floating modal entry points, and document/test the entry-point split.
Add Files to the universal canvas rail and sidebar flow, with a reusable floating surface modal chrome that matches Browser/Desktop behavior.
Make the File Browser modal draggable/resizable with Focus mode, keep Editor on the same draggable modal helper, and preserve dock/undock handoff state.
Harden File Browser startup so empty paths resolve to the default workdir, restyle the Up control, compact New file/New folder actions, and hide Modified before Name/Size in narrow containers.
Update DOX contracts and focused regression coverage for the new Files surface, modal chrome, default-path fallback, and compact layout behavior.
Introduce generic project edit-data extension hooks so plugins can contribute named project settings sections without coupling helpers.projects to plugin-specific storage.
Move _model_config project LLM payload handling behind those hooks and preserve inherited global model settings unless a project override already exists or is explicitly selected.
Cover the inheritance regression, existing scoped overrides, multiple plugin sections, core-field collision protection, and extension payload filtering in focused project/model-config tests.
Fold the blocking onboarding state into the welcome composer, refresh the account and channel tiles, and keep system resources aligned with the renewed Welcome Screen layout.
Update model-config, OAuth, and welcome static tests to pin the new CTA, dismissal, copy, and layout contracts.
Rework the welcome screen around the shared new-chat composer, renewed quick actions, discovery cards, OAuth accounts, and dedicated system resources panel.
Restore static button colors and neutral surfaces, move microphone state feedback onto the icon, and keep Rubik/code-font composer behavior.
Add focused static regressions for the welcome composer, OAuth discovery panel, and speech button contract.
Use the active settings dictionary when scheduling MCP config updates so applying global MCP servers no longer references an undefined config variable.
Add a focused regression test covering the settings apply path and document the deferred MCP update contract in settings.py DOX.
Introduce an always-enabled _whats_new plugin that shows a version-gated feature showcase modal with bundled media assets for parallel tool calls, the redesigned MCP configuration UI, and Skills Scanner.
Track the plugin in DOX and add static coverage for the modal copy, assets, manifest, and startup trigger.
Use the shared sanitized file writer for chat compaction backup artifacts so JSON and transcript backups remain writable when a long chat contains malformed Unicode such as lone surrogates.
Add a regression that exercises surrogate-containing backup content and document the backup artifact contract in the chat compaction DOX file.
Verified with: conda run -n a0 pytest tests/test_chat_compaction.py -q; python -m py_compile plugins/_chat_compaction/helpers/compactor.py tests/test_chat_compaction.py; live localhost:32080 surrogate-long-chat repro after syncing into /a0 and restarting the container.
Create /a0/usr/uploads during Docker runtime initialization before supervised services start so upload callers can rely on the directory immediately after boot.
Document the startup directory contract in docker/run AGENTS instructions.
Skip persisted tool-result files for BACKGROUND contexts, remove ephemeral direct parallel worker chat folders during cleanup, and ignore chat directories without chat.json during startup loading.
Add focused regressions for background output persistence, parallel worker cleanup, and orphan directory loading.
Prefer vision_load for images, screenshots, scans, charts, photos, and diagrams when vision tools are available.
Keep document_query focused on PDFs, documents, large text-heavy files, code-file Q&A, and fallback OCR when vision cannot read the needed text.
Update bundled prompt, skill guidance, DOX notes, and regression coverage for the routing contract.
Introduce a new prompt "protocol" separate from extras: add LoopData.protocol_temporary and protocol_persistent, include protocol contents before message history during prompt construction, and clear temporary protocol data each turn. Add helper _build_context_message to render protocol/extras, update response input conversion to include protocol, and move project instructions & active/loaded skills injection into protocol. Update docs, prompts, plugin metadata, the SkillsTool message, and add tests to verify protocol placement and behavior.
Release MCP config locks before awaited initialization or tool calls, isolate MCP session operations in disposable DeferredTask workers, and bound session cleanup so wedged transports cannot freeze later agent work.
Add deterministic MCP regression coverage for lock scope, config update initialization, cleanup timeouts, and isolated operation timeouts. Update the helper DOX contract for the new concurrency and cleanup behavior.
Remove agent profile scoping from the List Skills and Import Skills settings sections so skills are scoped only by project.
Move Scan Skills after Import Skills in both navigation metadata and rendered section order, and add an MCP-style search affordance to List Skills with filtered results and an empty search state.
Add a Settings > Skills scanner section and modal backed by Snyk Agent Scan-oriented checks and prompts. Wire uploaded skill zips from Import Skills into the scanner before import, and add a preparation API that extracts archives into temporary scan roots without installing or executing them.
Harden shared skill zip extraction against traversal, backslash paths, and symlink entries, and cover the new flow with focused scanner tests.
Default the WebUI Browser surface back to live CDP screencast while keeping snapshot/state transport as a fallback. Carry viewer transport through the WebSocket API and Browser store, use screencast metadata to avoid extra frame dimension decode, and include frame-chain action metadata in Browser content results. Update Browser prompts, skill guidance, DOX, and focused regressions so agent actions prefer DOM/CDP refs while the visible Browser remains responsive.
Validate call_subordinate profile arguments against available agent profiles so missing profiles fail as repairable errors. Persist each agent's profile in saved chats and avoid flattening existing subordinate profiles during profile switches, settings refresh, or restart reload.
Patch stale sentence-transformer embedding provider/model aliases at the _model_config read/build boundary so memory embeddings use the intended local HuggingFace provider without adding provider-specific logic to models.py.
Cover stale alias forms, the bare default alias, normal OpenAI embedding pass-through, and missing API-key detection with focused regression tests.
Create the .a0proj/skills directory during project metadata setup so Project Settings can open the skills folder for new projects. Repair the folder when loading existing project settings, and cover both creation and repair with regression tests.
Raises the Socket.IO heartbeat interval and timeout defaults so long context and prompt work do not trip python-engineio's empty packet queue timeout.
Adds positive-integer environment overrides and updates the runtime configuration regression test.
When compression hides an explicitly loaded skill body, reattach the current missing revision as a normal skills_tool history result under one fixed budget. Preserve skill name and revision metadata in automatic and manual compaction summaries without copying full skill bodies.
Move explicit skill loads out of per-turn prompt extras and into normal tool-result history, with revision metadata for duplicate detection. Duplicate load calls now omit the full body only when the same revision remains model-visible after history output assembly.
Buffer JSON/base64 connector_file_op_result chunks per pending file operation and resolve only after the complete result is assembled.
Validate malformed chunk metadata with a pending-operation error, while preserving the existing single-payload behavior for small file operations.
Reject document_query during parallel tool-call normalization before worker jobs are started. Add prompt guidance so the model avoids batching document_query, and update DOX plus regressions for the new sequential-only contract.
Add trigger frontmatter for browser automation and browser form workflow skills so relevant-skill recall surfaces them for rendered browsing, screenshots, host-browser, and form-heavy tasks. Update build-skill guidance to document trigger metadata and add regression coverage for parsing and ranking the browser skills.
Prefer explicit tool_name examples and first prompt headings when deriving native Responses function tool names, falling back to the prompt filename only when no callable name is declared.
Add regression coverage for code_execution_tool, memory_load, call_subordinate, behaviour_adjustment, and filename-only fallback, and document the contract in responses_tools DOX.
Add oMLX as a first-class local chat and embedding provider using the Docker-friendly host.docker.internal:8000/v1 default and LiteLLM hosted_vllm wiring. Mark it as a no-key local provider, include it in onboarding with a bundled logo, document Apple Silicon setup including paged SSD cache, and cover the provider defaults, model search behavior, and onboarding metadata with focused tests.
