Tools like file_write, file_edit, and shell now reset the agent's step
counter when called successfully. This allows the agent to continue
working without hitting the soft step-budget guardrail as long as it's
making active progress (writing files, running commands) rather than
looping on research/reading.
Changes:
- Add ResetsCounter bool to ToolInfo and MetaFile structs
- Parse resetsCounter from .meta JSON files
- Reset step counter in agent loop when ResetsCounter tool succeeds
- Add resetsCounter: true to file_write, file_edit, shell
- Reduce maxSteps from 50 to 25 (resetsCounter makes this safe)
Wrap bold escape sequences in \001/\002 markers so readline
correctly tracks cursor position. Fixes Ctrl+U, Ctrl+W, and
other readline kill commands after typing several characters.
- Remove auto-resolution of session/agent (was slow, unexpected)
- Path classification determines required context level immediately
- Errors are fast and actionable with clear fix instructions
- Root-level paths work without any context
- o env now just prints export statements without requiring context
Supports C-a, C-e, C-u, C-k, M-b, M-f, arrow keys, etc.
Sent prompts and slash commands are added to readline history
so up-arrow recalls previous inputs.
o kill: kills the active session.
Prompt REPL now supports slash commands:
/stop, /compact, /kill, /clear, /model X, /backend X, /cwd X, /help
Slash commands are handled locally without sending to the agent.
o tui: launches a 4-pane tmux layout with:
- chat stream (left, large)
- statewait monitor (top-right, reactive)
- spare shell with session/agent exported (bottom-right)
- prompt REPL (bottom, full width)
o stop: shorthand for 'o ctl stop' to interrupt a running agent.
