v0.4.0

What's New

4 New Providers (12 Total)

• OpenCode: Multi-backend agent (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Groq) — closes #25
• Qwen Code: Alibaba's AI coding CLI with deep reasoning
• Ollama: Local LLM inference, privacy-first — closes #24
• LocalAI: Self-hosted AI models — closes #24

18 Brainstorm & @-Mention Stability Fixes

• Silence-based timeout — agents aborted after 90s of no output (no more infinite waits)
• Auth pre-check — validates provider authentication before brainstorm starts
• Synthesis fallback — UI shows "retrying with [agent]..." when primary synthesis fails
• Oscillation detection — catches flip-flopping discussion positions
• Convergence regex broadening — handles varied score phrasings in Delphi mode
• Duplicate agent guard — prevents selecting the same agent twice
• Cancel propagation — stops all sub-processes immediately on cancel
• Sub-agent question timeout — auto-skips after 5 minutes if user doesn't respond
• Max 5 mentions per message — prevents resource exhaustion
• Refined mention parsing — tighter regex, path boundary matching, agent validation
• File resolution warnings — user notified when file mentions can't be read
• Retry process cleanup — cancels previous attempt before retrying

Bug Fixes

• Windows: Fixed spawn EINVAL error with auto shell mode — closes #14
• Codex: Brainstorm now respects mysti.codexPath setting — closes #26
• Mentions: Full-path file mention matching (@src/utils.ts now works)
• Mentions: Invalid agents no longer produce misleading "CLI not installed" errors
• Brainstorm: Empty contributions no longer cause false convergence
• Brainstorm: Text similarity no longer drops meaningful short words like "not"

Test Infrastructure

• 360 automated tests via vitest
• Mock provider infrastructure for brainstorm and mention testing
• Per-provider test suites (buildCliArgs, parseStreamLine, permissions)

Full Changelog: v0.3.1...v0.4.0

v0.3.1

Mysti v0.3.1

What's New in v0.3.0 / v0.3.1

This is the first published GitHub release for Mysti — covering all features through v0.3.1.

3 New Providers (7 total)

• Cursor — Full integration with Cursor's headless AI agent CLI (6 models including Claude Sonnet 4, GPT-5, o3)
• OpenClaw — Dual-transport provider with WebSocket Gateway and CLI fallback
• Manus (Experimental) — HTTP API-based provider for Manus AI

Autonomous Mode

AI works independently with configurable safety controls — SafetyClassifier with three safety levels, MemoryManager that learns preferences, goal-based and task-queue continuation modes, and audit logging.

@-Mention System

Route tasks to specific providers with @agent mentions, attach file context with @file, with heuristic-based task generation, auto-retry, and dependency tracking.

Brainstorm Team Reasoning (5 Strategies)

• Quick — Direct synthesis
• Debate — Critic vs Defender
• Red-Team — Proposer vs Challenger
• Perspectives — Risk-Analyst vs Innovator
• Delphi — Facilitator vs Refiner
• Convergence detection, parallel discussion, round markers, role badges

Context Compaction

Smart conversation compaction to prevent context overflow — native CLI strategy for Claude (/compact), client-side summarization for others, per-panel token tracking with threshold-based triggering.

Slash Command System

Centralized command registry organized by sections — context, model, customize, commands, settings, support. Provider-specific commands like /compact, /thinking, /profile, /plan-act.

Per-Panel Session Isolation

Each webview panel has fully independent state, provider sessions, context, and process management.

Agent Lifecycle Management

Session lifecycle with configurable idle timeout (default 1 hour), cross-platform process tree tracking, and graceful shutdown.
