v0.5.2 (2026-01-11)

Added

• Locale-aware AI responses

  Shell-AI now auto-detects your system locale from LANG/LC_ALL environment variables and hints the AI to respond in your preferred language. This applies to both suggest and explain commands.

  Configure with:

  • --locale <value> CLI flag
  • SHAI_LOCALE environment variable
  • locale setting in config file

  Set to an empty string (locale = "" or SHAI_LOCALE="") to disable locale hints.

• Multi-line command support for Ctrl+G keybinding

  The keybinding integrations for all shells (Bash, Zsh, Fish, PowerShell) now support multi-line command output, in case the generated suggestion spans multiple lines. Previously, only the first line was used.

Fixed

• Bash keybinding integration: first argument no longer ignored

  Fixed a bug where the Bash keybinding (Ctrl+G) would corrupt the command line, causing the first word to be lost. For example, uptime -s would display correctly but execute as two separate commands (uptime then -s).

  The root cause is a Bash bug where $(< file) corrupts READLINE_LINE when used in a bind -x context. The workaround uses $(cat file) instead, which forks a subprocess and avoids the corruption.

  This bug is not present in Bash 5.3.

• Dialog frontend: multi-line commands now display correctly

  Fixed rendering issues when suggestions contained newlines. The menu now properly handles carriage returns and calculates the correct number of terminal lines, preventing display corruption when navigating between options.
