When aborting a retry attempt, surface the retry-aware abort message
in the assistant output and tool results instead of a generic "Aborted".
- Set errorMessage for aborted streaming messages
- Render abort message without forcing a leading newline when no content
Three related fixes:
1. google-gemini-cli: Handle abort signal in stream reading loop
- Add abort event listener to cancel reader immediately when signal fires
- Fix AbortError detection in retry catch block (fetch throws AbortError,
not our custom message)
- Swallow reader.cancel() rejection to avoid unhandled promise
2. agent-session: Fix retry attempt counter showing 0 on cancel
- abortRetry() was resetting _retryAttempt before the catch block could
read it for the error message
3. interactive-mode: Restore main escape handler on agent_start
- When auto-retry starts, onEscape is replaced with retry-specific handler
- auto_retry_end (which restores it) fires on turn_end, after streaming begins
- Now restore immediately on agent_start if retry handler is still active
Amended: suppress reader.cancel() rejection on abort.
Adds sendUserMessage() to the extension API, allowing extensions to send
actual user messages (role: user) rather than custom messages. Unlike
sendMessage(), this always triggers a turn and behaves as if the user
typed the message.
- Add SendUserMessageHandler type and sendUserMessage() to ExtensionAPI
- Wire handler through loader, runner, and all modes
- Implement via prompt() with expandPromptTemplates: false
- Add send-user-message.ts example with /ask, /steer, /followup commands
- Document in extensions.md

- Update ai package README with table of contents, OpenAI Codex OAuth docs, and env vars table
- Increase Codex instructions cache TTL from 15 minutes to 24 hours

- Provider clamps reasoning effort internally
- Omit reasoning field when thinking is off

- sdk.ts: make eventBus first (required) param for discoverHooks/discoverCustomTools
- docs/sdk.md: document eventBus sharing pattern for hook/tool communication
* feat(coding-agent): add event bus for tool/hook communication
Adds pi.events API enabling custom tools and hooks to communicate via
pub/sub. Tools can emit events, hooks can listen. Shared EventBus instance
created per session in createAgentSession().
- EventBus interface with emit() and on() methods
- on() returns unsubscribe function
- Threaded through hook and tool loaders
- Documented in hooks.md and custom-tools.md
* fix(coding-agent): wrap event handlers to catch errors
* docs: note async handler error handling for event bus
* feat(coding-agent): add sendMessage to tools, nextTurn delivery mode
- Custom tools now have pi.sendMessage() for direct agent notifications
- New deliverAs: 'nextTurn' queues messages for next user prompt
- Fix: hooks and tools now share the same eventBus (was isolated before)
* fix(coding-agent): nextTurn delivery should always queue, even when streaming
- before_agent_start handlers can return systemPromptAppend to dynamically
append text to the system prompt for that turn
- Multiple hooks' systemPromptAppend strings are concatenated
- Multiple hooks' messages are now all injected (not just first)
- Tool registry now contains ALL built-in tools (read, bash, edit, write,
grep, find, ls) regardless of --tools flag
- --tools only sets initially active tools, hooks can enable any via
setActiveTools()
- System prompt automatically rebuilds when tools change, updating tool
descriptions and guidelines
- Add pirate.ts example hook demonstrating systemPromptAppend
- Update hooks.md with systemPromptAppend documentation
- New text_delta hook event fires for each chunk of streaming text
- Enables real-time monitoring of agent output
- Plan-mode hook now updates todo progress as [DONE:id] tags stream in
- Each todo item has unique ID for reliable tracking
- Add pi.getTools() and pi.setTools(toolNames) to HookAPI
- Hooks can now enable/disable tools dynamically
- Changes take effect on next agent turn
New example hook: plan-mode.ts
- Claude Code-style read-only exploration mode
- /plan command toggles plan mode on/off
- Plan mode tools: read, bash, grep, find, ls
- Edit/write tools disabled in plan mode
- Injects context telling agent about restrictions
- After each response, prompts to execute/stay/refine
- State persists across sessions
- Hook commands now execute immediately during streaming (they manage their own LLM interaction via pi.sendMessage())
- File-based slash commands are expanded and queued via steer/followUp during streaming
- prompt() accepts new streamingBehavior option ('steer' or 'followUp') for explicit queueing during streaming
- steer() and followUp() now expand file-based slash commands and error on hook commands
- RPC prompt command accepts optional streamingBehavior field
- Updated docs: rpc.md, sdk.md, CHANGELOG.md
fixes#420
Use !!command to execute bash commands that are shown in the TUI and
saved to session history but excluded from LLM context, compaction
summaries, and branch summaries.
- Add excludeFromContext field to BashExecutionMessage
- Filter excluded messages in convertToLlm()

- Use dim border color for excluded commands
fixes#414
- Rename queueMessage to steer(), add followUp()
- Split _pendingMessages into _steeringMessages and _followUpMessages
- Update sendHookMessage to accept deliverAs option
- Rename hasQueuedMessages to hasPendingMessages
- Rename queuedMessageCount to pendingMessageCount
- Update clearQueue() return type to { steering, followUp }
- Update UI to show steering vs follow-up messages differently
WIP: settings-manager, sdk, interactive-mode, rpc-mode still need updates
Agent.prompt() and Agent.continue() now throw if called while already
streaming, preventing race conditions and corrupted state. Use
queueMessage() to queue messages during streaming, or await the
previous call.
AgentSession.prompt() has the same guard with a message directing
users to queueMessage().
Ref #403
CustomToolContext now has:
- isIdle() - check if agent is streaming
- hasQueuedMessages() - check if user has queued messages
- abort() - abort current operation (fire-and-forget)
Changed abort() signature from Promise<void> to void in both
HookContext and CustomToolContext. The abort is fire-and-forget:
it calls session.abort() without awaiting, so the abort signal
is set immediately while waitForIdle() runs in the background.
Fixes#388
HookContext (all events):
- isIdle() - read-only state check
- hasQueuedMessages() - read-only state check
- abort() - fire-and-forget, does not wait
HookCommandContext (slash commands only):
- waitForIdle() - waits for agent to finish
- newSession(options?) - create new session
- branch(entryId) - branch from entry
- navigateTree(targetId, options?) - navigate session tree
Session control methods moved from HookAPI (pi.*) to HookCommandContext (ctx.*)
because they can deadlock when called from event handlers that run inside
the agent loop (tool_call, tool_result, context events).
HookAPI additions:
- pi.newSession(options?) - create new session with optional setup callback
- pi.branch(entryId) - branch from a specific entry
- pi.navigateTree(targetId, options?) - navigate the session tree
HookContext additions:
- ctx.isIdle() - check if agent is streaming
- ctx.waitForIdle() - wait for agent to finish
- ctx.abort() - abort current operation
- ctx.hasQueuedMessages() - check for queued user messages
These enable hooks to programmatically manage sessions (handoff, templates)
and check agent state before showing interactive UI.
Fixes#388

- Each event has dedicated result type (SessionBeforeSwitchResult, etc.)
- HookHandler type now allows bare return statements (void in return type)
- HookAPI.on() has proper overloads for each event with correct typing

- AgentSession now always subscribes to agent in constructor (was only
subscribing when external subscribe() called, breaking internal handlers)
- Standardize on undefined over null throughout codebase
