Drop charmbracelet/bubbletea, bubbles, and lipgloss. Replace the full-screen
Elm-architecture TUI with goq's readline-based approach:
- go-multiline-ny for readline input with history and bracketed paste
- splitInput persistent bottom band during agent turns (pulse separator,
queue display, Ctrl-U/W/Backspace, /queued pop/clear)
- Signal handling: Ctrl-C cancels the current turn; double-Ctrl-C exits
- Plain text agent output (no ANSI formatting yet)
- All existing slash commands preserved; /queued integrated
New files: splitinput.go, splitinput_windows.go, bracketed_paste.go,
rerender_input.go, queued_commands.go, signals.go, signals_unix.go,
signals_windows.go

Prevents context explosion on new sessions in repos with large READMEs
or many files. Both are truncated at a clean line boundary with a
trailing "...(truncated)" marker.

Removes start_line/end_line range support from file_read. The tool now
always reads the full file and caches by path; re-reading the same path
is a hard error. file_write's precondition check is simplified to
"path was read this session" rather than range coverage. Removes the
lineRange, fileReadResult, rangesOverlap, and rangesCover helpers.
Also tightens the system prompt: bots should use grep/execute_code for
exploration and reserve file_read for pre-write context.

Augments the initial user message with git ls-files output (falling back
to a recursive walk that skips hidden files when not in a git repo) and
the contents of README.md if present, so the agent has real workspace
context from the start instead of guessing which files exist.

Whole-file writes on existing files are the primary source of
corruption: a bot that assembled file content from multiple partial
reads can silently duplicate or mangle sections. The blast radius is
unbounded.
New rule:
- Existing files: start_line/end_line required; whole-file write
returns a hard error directing the bot to use range writes
- New files (not on disk): whole-file write is the only option and
remains allowed
Updated file_write tool description to state the rule up front.
Simplified the guard block: the coverage/read check for existing files
now only applies to range writes (the only permitted case).

qwen3:8b is too obtuse for agentic use; qwen3.5:9b is better at
instruction following and tool use at roughly the same size.

The "no tools" stall condition (totalToolCalls==0 && hadContent) fired
whenever the bot replied in plain text without calling any tools, which
is the normal completion path. The UI would then see agentStalled before
the done message and never transition back to agentIdle.
Removed the "no tools" stall; only the max-steps limit case is a real
stall worth surfacing.

Compact was gated on EvictedMessages(), which only returns messages
that have spilled past the 120k char soft limit. Normal sessions never
hit that threshold, making /compact a permanent no-op.
New approach: compact ALL messages older than the tail window (i.e.
everything computeTailStart puts before the protected tail), regardless
of budget. This makes /compact always useful.
Added OlderMessages(), TailWindow(), and SystemMessages() to
ContextBuilder to support the rewrite cleanly.

Session persistence:
- Sessions saved to ~/.config/ollie/sessions/{id}.json after each
completed agent turn and after /compact
- --session <id> flag resumes a saved session, auto-loading its agent
- /sessions command lists saved sessions with agent and goal preview
- /clear and /agent switch generate a new session ID
- Session ID shown at startup
Dedup:
- file_read: overlap check now returns a hard error (was a warning
prepended to the result); check uses requested range, not actual
read range, to avoid redundant dispatchFileRead on overlap
- tool calls: duplicate (name, args) now returns a hard error; key
is only recorded on successful execution
/compact: Compact() now returns the summary text; displayed in the
UI so the user can verify quality; session saved after compact
Write-then-write:
- After a successful file_write, repopulate fileRanges with the
written range so a follow-up write to the same region does not
require a re-read
- Whole-file writes record exact new line count from content;
range writes record the written [start, end] with totalLines=0

- file_write: allow creating files that don't exist on disk without a
prior read; the guard only applies to existing files
- rangesCover: initialize cur = ws-1 so coverage check starts at the
target range, not line 0 (range writes to e.g. lines 50-100 were
incorrectly blocked even when exactly that range had been read)
- remove fileReadMaxLines (500-line pagination cap); range tracking
makes the truncation unnecessary
- add /agents command: lists .json configs in agentsDir, marks active
agent with *
- add main_test.go: table-driven tests for rangesOverlap and rangesCover

"Be proactive / explore first" is generic behavior — moved to systemPromptBase.
Agent prompts now contain only use-case-specific rules (code exploration,
context reads before writing, skill discovery for anvillm-agent).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- All four agents: require full source enumeration before explaining code,
and full context reads before writing or modifying code
- default, default-sp, yolo: remove skill discovery references (anvillm only)
- anvillm-agent: retains skill discovery, adds the same code rules

- Revised system prompt with concrete prohibitions against verbosity and
premature stopping
- Added GenerationParams (max_tokens, temperature, frequency/presence penalty)
threading from agent config through backend ChatStream calls
- Added stall detection: emits "stalled" role on max-steps hit or zero tool
calls with content, surfaces as "stalled" in status bar
- Added per-session file read range tracking: warns on overlapping re-reads,
blocks file_write unless the target range was previously read
- Added general tool-call dedup: warns on exact (name, args) repeats for
non-file tools
- Both caches invalidated on /compact and /clear; file read cache invalidated
per-path on file_write
- Updated all agent configs with documenting defaults for new generation params

Client gains a Close() method that closes stdin (giving the subprocess
a clean EOF) then kills and reaps the process. Executor.Close() calls
Close() on all registered clients. agentEnv now carries the mcpExec so
the /agent command can close the outgoing executor before building the
new one.

- /compact: summarizes evicted context messages via LLM call, replaces
them with a single summary system message
- /clear: resets session and display
- ContextBuilder.EvictedMessages(): returns messages outside bounded window
- Session.Compact(): drives the summarization and history replacement
- Stop agentCh pump while waiting for user confirmation (prevents
context cancellation on confirm reply)
- System prompt: hard directive to use file_read/file_write instead
of shell commands for file operations
- Update tool descriptions to match
- file_read and file_write require explicit y/n confirmation before executing
- New agentConfirming UI state with confirm [y/n] status bar indicator
- y/yes approves, n/no denies, anything else denies and falls through to
normal prompt handling
- file_read output includes line numbers for precise file_write targeting
- Fix tool output display: remove per-line squashWhitespace (preserves indentation)
- file_write description hints to preserve formatting
- Pass caller context into Executor.Execute so cancellation reaches
the subprocess immediately
- Use Setpgid + SIGKILL on process group to kill grandchild processes
- Add context to ToolExecutor signature and thread it through dispatch
- Reset agent state to idle after drainAgent
- Rollback incomplete session turn on interrupt
- Split execute_code into execute_code, execute_tool, execute_pipe for
clearer model comprehension, especially on smaller models
- Ollama: accumulate tool calls across all stream chunks (fixes llama3.1
which delivers tool calls only on the done event)
- Ollama: add HTTP 429 / RateLimitError handling
- Ollama: map ToolCallID on outbound messages
- System prompt: inject cwd, current time, available tools
- System prompt: clarify tool usage rules
- Fix spurious spaces in streamed output (remove addStreamingContent heuristic)
- Fix tool output display: preserve newlines, add blank line separation
Each agent config (mcpServers, hooks, prompt) lives in its own file.
'prompt' is injected after the system prompt, allowing per-agent
behaviour without touching the minimal base system prompt.
Startup loads agents/default.json, falling back to the legacy
config.json. The /agent [name] command swaps the active agent at
runtime, rebuilding MCP connections, hooks, tools, and the composed
system prompt, and resetting the session. Agent name is shown in the
status bar.

Remove use-case-specific instructions (execute_code how-to, planning
workflow, skill discovery) — these dictate behavior inappropriate for a
general-purpose agent and add tokens to every request. Keep only the
terse-output and anti-filler guardrails that directly affect cost and
response quality.

When the model emits a text-only turn containing narration phrases
("let me", "i'll", "i will", etc.) with no tool calls, the loop now
injects an ephemeral "Continue. Act now." user message and runs another
step rather than treating the turn as completion. Capped at 2 nudges
per run to prevent infinite loops. UI shows "[nudge: continuing…]" so
the user can see what happened.

Return RateLimitError from openai backend on HTTP 429, parsing the
Retry-After header (integer seconds or HTTP-date). The agent loop retries
up to 3 times with exponential backoff (5s/10s/20s) when no header is
given, emitting per-second countdown ticks. The status bar renders
"retry {N}s" during the wait.

Re-adds handleCommand (/help, /model, /backend) and wires it into the
enter handler so slash commands are processed without starting an agent.
