Bash builtin echo/printf may split multi-line content across
multiple write syscalls, which the FUSE 9P proxy rejects.
/bin/echo (coreutils) does a single write.
- Resolves model from OLLIE_TIER_{WORKER|EXPERT}_{backend}
- Falls back to legacy OLLIE_CASCADE_MODEL/OLLIE_ESCALATE_MODEL
- --backend flag lets orchestrator pick a different backend
- Inherits parent session's backend by default
- OLLIE_ENABLED_BACKENDS documents available backends
- README updated with tier config examples
- route --tier=worker (default): cheap model for scoped subtasks
- route --tier=expert: strong model for complex reasoning
- Orchestrator now uses route instead of cascade
- Unified prompt and callback contract for both tiers
- cascade/escalate remain available for other agents
- Orchestrator: describe what, not how. Workers reason about implementation.
- cascade prompt: allow workers to read code and make decisions within scope.
- Worker identity: 'reason and complete' replaces 'execute exactly'.
- Removes over-specification pressure from orchestrator.
subagent_spawn now reads the agent name from stdin (first line) when
-agent flag is not provided and stdin is not a tty. This enables clean
pipe composition: echo JSON | subagent_generate | subagent_spawn.
tools/cascade: fire-and-forget delegation to cheap model; worker
reports back to parent prompt when done. Parallelizable.
scripts/u/cascade: script-driven hub-and-spoke orchestrator for
terminal use — planner decomposes, workers execute in parallel,
planner synthesizes.
All lsp_* scripts used OLLIE_TOOLS_PATH for sys.path which points to
the physical backing store where _lib does not exist. Changed to use
$OLLIE/t (the FUSE mount) where _lib actually lives.
Also added lsp_completion script and textDocument/completion support
in the LSP bridge.
The 8MB size check caused models to fall back to cat which reads the
entire file without truncation. Now uses itertools.islice to read only
the requested segment without loading the whole file into memory.
Also: sandbox config additions (pcfs, ~/img).
Use $OLLIE/x/prime SYSTEM_PROMPT command instead of bare token.
Wrap custom prompt in echo command since all prompt array entries
are now shell commands.
New tool that generates a temporary agent config from a base agent
with custom identity text. Returns a unique agent name (jit-<hex>)
for use with subagent_spawn. Single file in a/, no p/ file needed.
Adds a thin LSP bridge daemon (tools/_lib/lsp/) that manages LSP server
processes on demand, with adapters for gopls, clangd, and intelephense.
Tool scripts:
- lsp_definition: go to definition
- lsp_references: find all references
- lsp_hover: type/doc info
- lsp_rename: rename symbol (applies edits directly)
- lsp_symbols: document/workspace symbols
- lsp_diagnostics: errors and warnings
subagent_spawn rewritten: creates session, submits prompt, returns
immediately. Auto-prefixes session name with parent ID for uniqueness.
Injects [parent_session_id] and [session_id] headers into every prompt.
New read-only env file in session namespace exposes OLLIE_ vars.
TUI background-tails chat file for async output.
Updated SYSTEM_PROMPT.md and tools-subagent.md.
subagent_spawn now passes -name through to b, letting the parent assign
predictable session IDs. Updated coordination docs: parent passes full
peer roster in seeding prompts, names prefixed with parent session ID
for global uniqueness. Noted silent failure on duplicate names.
Backend now streams native thinking tokens via StreamEvent.Reasoning.
The no-op scratchpad tool is redundant.

system prompt: require task list for multi-step work
agents: remove preTurn hook; rely on agentSpawn prime + system prompt
backend: require OLLIE_BACKEND/OLLIE_MODEL env vars

preTurn now has two branches: no plan → remind task_add; open tasks → remind
task_check. Blank/whitespace-only arguments to task_add are silently skipped.

printf format string starting with '-' was treated as a flag; use '--' to
terminate option parsing. Agents reading individual tool scripts to understand
them should use $OLLIE/t/idx instead.
